Pursuing My Ex-Wife Isn't Easy Chapter 2186
Bonnie's heart leaped into her throat at the sound of this.She was more than familiar with this voice.During the past year that she had spent with Jim, Harvey had clung to her as well, and therefore, his best friend, June, also spent almost all hours of her day with Bonnie.There was no way Bonnie could not recognize June's voice!"Help me—""Help me, please—!"June's screams grew even louder and shriller than the last.Bonnie could feel all the nerves in her body tighten, and she could not help quickening her pace as she strode in the direction of the voice.All of a sudden, Jim furrowed his brows and squeezed her hand. "Don't act on impulse."He took a step forward to shield Bonnie's body behind his, then continued to make their way toward the direction of the voice.Soon, they arrived at a dungeon, and the door leading to it was left ajar.The closer they got, the louder they could hear June's cries for help.Jim slowed down and, still holding Bonnie's hand in his, slo

"It hurts, Aunt Bonnie… It hurts so much…"Bonnie's heart broke at the sight of this. She held June close to her and glared at the two servants, who were restrained by the guards. "Who the hell ordered you two to do this? How can you do this to a six-year-old child?"The woman leaning against the cushions shot Bonnie a cold look but did not reply.The other one, however, stammered, "W—We were just following Mr. Simms' orders! He told us to cut the flesh off her arms…and then…mail them to her father…"That way…her father will be willing to hand over what Mr. Simms wanted to save his daughter!"Jim furrowed his brows upon hearing this. "What does Christopher have that's so important to Quentin that he'll do anything to get him to hand it over?"Jim did not understand this.Christopher was just a doctor, so what did he have with him that was so irresistible to Quentin?"I…I don't know." The servant lowered her head. "All I heard is that…this little girl's father possesses the reci

A glimmer of fear flashed past the servant's eyes.However, a split second later, she regained her composure and lifted her head to stare coldly at Jim. "I don't know what you're talking about, Sir."Like the maid standing next to you, I, too, was under Mr. Simms' orders to execute this. We hadn't meant to hurt her at all, and I hope that you, Sir, and…and this beautiful lady with you can show us some mercy."The woman's voice was hoarse and croaky, like a broken, creaking door.Jim could not help frowning at the sound of this.According to his guesses, Quentin must have disguised Charlotte as one of the servants, and based on how silent this servant had been since they entered the room, he was fairly confident that this was Charlotte.Nonetheless…He remembered Charlotte's voice, and even though she did not possess a melodic voice, it was still clear and resonant, not at all like the sound that came out of this woman's throat!Bonnie shared the same thought, too.Initially, a

The servant quickly put her mask back on, then shot Jim and Bonnie a somewhat pleading look. "Please, I'm not a bad person. Can you… Can you show me mercy?"Jim furrowed his brows, staring at the woman, then turned to glance at Bonnie and June.He reached out to cover Bonnie's eyes and finally glanced at the other servant, who had been pressed onto the ground by one of the guards. "Take off your mask, too."The woman nodded and did as Jim ordered.This woman's face was also charred and mutilated beyond recognition."Are you Quentin's daughter too?" Jim asked, frowning.The woman shook her head. "No, I'm not. How can I possibly…be Mr. Simms' daughter? Only Char—only the girl next to you is Mr. Simms' daughter."Then, she quickly put her mask back on, trotted over to the other servant's side, and gently grasped her arm. Then, she glanced at Jim with an earnest look and said, "Sir, the two of us were forced to be here against our will, and if we had a choice, we wouldn't have chose

Bonnie shot Jim a puzzled look, then finally sighed and held June closer to her as she walked up the stairwell, followed by Jim.Even though they did not manage to find Charlotte, they had at least found June.Bonnie gently stroked June's bald head and chuckled. "I bought you lots of hats, some of them with wigs attached. Haven't you always wanted to change your hairstyle frequently? Well, when we get home, you can finally fulfill your wishes of changing your hairstyle every day!"The sound of Bonnie's gentle voice made June's trembling body stiffen.A split second later, she lifted her head to stare at Bonnie with wide, shiny eyes. "How many?"Bonnie felt her heart soften at this sight.This was a six-year-old girl, after all.Even after she was treated terribly and wounded all over, she still could not suppress her curiosity and asked how many hairstyles she could get.How could one possibly not love such an adorable little girl?"More than you can count," Bonnie said reassu
Pursuing My Ex-Wife Isn't Easy Chapter 2191
In the past, Bonnie never had kids of her own and she did not know about Harvey, so she could not understand the pain and struggles of being a parent.Now that she had Harvey, however, as well as the little fetus growing inside her, she finally understood what it was like to be a parent.A monster like Quentin did not deserve to be someone's father!"What the hell are you talking about?" Quentin could not help frowning when he heard this. He swept his cold gaze over the two women who were restrained by Jim's men.One of them had their head lowered, whereas the other met his gaze head-on, with a hint of resentment in her otherwise fearless gaze.He narrowed his eyes. "That's utter bullshit! How can I possibly have a daughter? I haven't even taken a wife, so where would my daughter even come from?"Granny Quinn, who was still lying in the bed next to them, could not help sneering when she heard this. "That's right; how can Quentin possibly have a daughter? That's nonsense!"Quenti

"Why do you say this, Mr. Simms?" Jim narrowed his eyes. "Would I have declared it so confidently if I didn't have the answer myself?"When they were in the dungeon, he had secretly marked the two women to tell them apart.Jim had secretly ordered his men to 'accidentally' tear the shirt of the one who claimed to be Quentin's daughter while dragging her up the stairwell.At the thought of this, Jim got up and strode over to the servant with the torn shirt, a cold sneer playing on his lips. "Whether it was me, Joshua, or Luke, none of us had managed to understand why Charlotte was so close with the Quinn family, so much so that they were willing to steal her from us at the expense of breaking the law."As he said this, he glanced coldly at Quentin, whose face was pale. "What this servant just said reminded me that…"He chuckled and continued, "Charlotte was an orphan, and if she were your daughter, Mr. Simms, everything would make sense."The color drained from Quentin's face.A

If even Jim, the man who had laid by Charlotte's side for many months, could not bring out any evidence to tell them apart, then no one could.As soon as he thought of this, Quentin could not help bursting into laughter. "Well, well, not sure how to go about lying anymore, huh, Mr. Landry?"He plopped down in a nearby chaise lounge, shifted into a more comfortable position, then swept his cold glance over Jim. "Mr. Landry, you and Ms. Craig disrupted my godmother's rest, went into the dungeon, and finally found two servants who we can't even tell apart."Now, you're even claiming that one of these servants is not only Charlotte but my daughter as well… You have such a vivid imagination. It'll be such a pity if you don't become an author!"Jim narrowed his eyes when he heard this.Suddenly, he realized that he had no comeback for Quentin.He turned around to stare at the two women, who not only were identical in height and build, but both had faces mutilated beyond recognition.E

At that, he looked at Gwen. "Actually…"Steven found himself unable to finish his sentence. After a long while, he shook his head and smiled. "Forget about it.""Steven…" Gwen looked at him, and her tears fell.Her heart was not made of stone. How could she not know Steven's feelings toward her?She was silent for a long while. In the end, she stood up and slowly walked over to Steven with arms opened wide. "Give me a hug."Steven hesitated for a while, but he still stood up.They hugged."Gwen." Steven hugged her thin figure. "I have to meet you earlier in the next life so I can compete fairly with my brother."Gwen nodded with tears streaming down her face. "Okay."They thus hugged once more. Minutes later…"He's gone," said Stefan.Tears kept falling.They hugged for a while longer before pulling apart. Gwen looked at Stefan with her tear-stricken face. He had tears on his face as well.She bit her lips and reached out to wipe his tears. "A—Are these tears…yours or his?

The next day, Rachel flew from Merchant City to Sharnwick City to diagnose Anne's condition. Theo tagged along as well because he had another identity, Rachel's boyfriend."According to the report, Anne's condition is slowly recuperating." Rachel was relieved after assessing the report. "Although she is very weak, she is going to get better with lots of rest."There is nothing wrong with her vocal cords too. It could be a psychological thing that makes her lose her voice. A knot in her heart that causes it." She looked at Luna, then at John. "Considering all factors, I think that knot is Luna."Rachel continued, "John, I know Luna is the root cause of all these bad things. Being away from Luna, Joshua, and other people is going to guarantee a safer life for you and your family. But have you thought about it from Anne's point of view? Other than you and Sammie, she has her own life and her circle of friends. Never has she blamed Luna for what happened, yet you forced her to leave Lun

It was almost a miracle for Anne to willingly leave the house just to visit him!Robyn, meanwhile, sobbed at the sight.The nurse who accompanied Anne to the ward was puzzled. What was going on with these people?She snuck her phone out of her pocket and took a photo of this surreptitiously. Then, she sent it into the nurse's group chat with the caption, [What a strange family I met today.]The nurses in the group chat began gossiping about this. One of them tagged a fellow nurse named Daisy and said, [Hey, isn't this the guy who saved the old man you're looking after? What a hero!]Daisy was, at this moment, walking into Andy's room to help him change his wound dressing. She saw the message but was not able to type on her keyboard to respond, so she recorded a voice message instead. "Yes, that's the man. What's wrong with his family? What are you guys talking about?"As soon as she finished her sentence, she lifted her head and finally realized that Andy was not there.Instead,

Anne stared at John for a long time before forcibly smiling and told him in sign language, "Robyn didn't return after so long, so I got worried and came by to check on her.""Daddy, Aunt Robyn, are you two hugging?" Sammie asked, blinking innocently as she raised her head in curiosity.John and Robyn turned pale at this.It was understandable for such a young child like Sammie to misinterpret them as hugging, but what would Anne think of this?John leaped off the bed and staggered toward Anne. "Anne, it's just a misunderstanding…"However, he was still so weak that his legs could not hold up the full weight of his body at all, and he almost crumpled to the ground.Quick-witted Robyn managed to catch him before he could fall, but this gesture appeared once again rather intimate to both Anne and Sammie. Sammie furrowed her brow and asked rather indignantly, "Are you hugging again? Daddy, how can you hug Aunt Robyn like this when you've never even hugged Mommy and me like this befor

When the nurse pushed Anne to John's ward, she overheard John and Robyn fighting from the door. The fight was about how John was anxious to return home because he was worried about Anne and Sammie.However, as someone who used to work as a nurse, Robyn knew John should not leave the hospital after being shot by a gun. At least, he needed to stay in the hospital and be observed for 24 hours to make sure that he was fine before leaving the hospital. If an infection happened, John's body would crash easily and he would become weak just like Anne.In the ward, John frowned and talked with a serious tone, "I'm really fine. Get me my clothes so I can go upstairs to thank Miss Andie and go back home immediately. If Anne knows that I'm hurt, she is going to worry. She will easily be suspicious since you haven't gone back home for a long time. What if she worries about me and brings Sammie to the hospital to look for me? Can you bear yourself even just thinking about it? She's weak and Sammie

Sammie's soft and cute babyish voice melted Stefan's heart immediately. It had been quite some time since he actually put a smile on his face. "Hi, there. What's your name and how old are you?"Sammie tilted her head to look at Stefan's handsome face and smiled sweetly, "I'm Samantha but everyone calls me Sammie."Then she did not forget to introduce Anne to Stefan too. "This is my Mommy. Her name is Anne."At this point, Stefan had given all of his attention to Sammie and did not notice Sammie mentioned that her mother's name was Anne. He pinched Sammie's cheek and said, "Your Mommy is not feeling well. You have to be a good girl and take care of her, do you understand?"Sammie nodded seriously and said, "I will.""Alright, sir. I will bring them to where they want to go," the nurse saw Anne signing to her anxiously. She smiled and said, "Don't worry. I will take good care of them."The promise from the nurse gave an assurance to Stefan that they would be well taken off. He smil

This was the first time Anne brought Sammie out. Ever since she escaped from death, she became a different person—a recluse and was afraid of the sun. This situation became even worse after she became mute.The last time she left the house was two weeks ago when she had to go for surgery.However, she worried about John. In the morning, Robyn told her John was hurt and needed to stay in the hospital to rest. However, she had a hard time believing what Robyn said.After spending so many years together with John, Anne reckoned she was the one who knew John the most. If it was a minor injury, John would never want to stay in the hospital. He cared too much about her and Sammie, so he never dared to let her worry about him. Therefore, it just did not sound reasonable if John would stay in the hospital because of a small injury.Furthermore, Robyn had not returned home since the morning, which was nearly three hours since she left the house. After much consideration, she decided to call

Tara fell silent upon hearing this. She bit her lip nervously and shot Gwen a tentative glance. "I didn't mean to offend you, Gwen…" "I know." Gwen let out an exhale and interrupted Tara before she could finish, "I know you meant no harm, but I can't deny that this is something I'm still having trouble wrapping my head around. In the future, neither of you—even you, Luna—should bring this up again." Her love life was such a mess that not even she could unravel the ties, much less expect other people to understand. Tara pursed her lips and did not reply. Luna stared at Gwen in silence for a while before finally saying, "But you have to face this eventually, Gwennie. After all that you've been through with Luke, all of us hope for nothing but the best for the two of you. Even if you avoid it now, you'll have to face the truth eventually. Otherwise, are you planning on spending the rest of your life in this complicated relationship with Luke? Can you bear the thought of not being

Stefan was mildly amused by the look on her face. He extended his arms out in a gesture of defeat and said, "I never intended on ratting you out to Joshua. You three spoke about these secrets in my presence." With that, he shot Andy a rather helpless look. "Don't you agree, sir?" Andy was surprised to be called out all of a sudden. "Of course!" Although Gwen and Luke had been together for a long time, Luke had never much cared for maintaining good relations with his future father-in-law. He always thought his relationship with Gwen did not concern anyone else outside of the two of them. Combined with the fact that Andy had done some hurtful things to Gwen in the past, Luke grew even more disdainful of his future father-in-law. Because of this, he had never given Andy as much as a second glance throughout their relationship and rarely ever addressed him directly like this. The truth was, Stefan had already called out to Andy once before, during their rescue mission the day befor
