Would this destroy Charles and Rosalyn's newly built relationship?Jim pondered this, staring at them in silence.Outside the door, Luna had overheard their conversation and had also noticed the contemplative look in Jim's eyes.A surge of warmth spread through her heart.Ever since Jim lost his memories, everything he had done had been against her will, but at this moment…It seemed that this was still her brother, the man who cared about Rosalyn's feelings more than anything.At the thought of this, Luna let out an exhale and strode into the room. "How's Bonnie doing now?"Luna and Joshua's sudden arrival broke the awkward silence in the room.Jim immediately came to and let out a sigh. "The child…didn't make it."Luna furrowed her brows and hesitated for a moment before finally lunging forward, lifting her arm, and smacking Jim across his cheek.Smack!A deafening noise echoed through the room.Charles and Rosalyn were frozen in shock, and even Joshua was a little startl
Silence blanketed the room after Luna's remark.Joshua furrowed his brow silently.Nonetheless, Jim smiled lightly and did not take Luna's words to heart. "Regardless of what your intention was, you did help me, and I must thank you for that. Moreover…"He looked at Bonnie, who was lying on the bed with her eyes shut tightly, and a helpless expression appeared on his face. "You're her best friend. She adamantly protected the baby and even resolved to make a fake report just to keep that baby. Just because of my impulsiveness, however, she lost the baby."Your anger is warranted, and I deserved that slap; it's only right that I endured that. I only have myself to blame."After that, he looked at Luna and sighed heavily. "Could you please tell me more about my relationship with Bonnie?"Jim's request baffled Luna. She gazed at the man before her and felt something was different about him, but she could not tell what it was.Looking at how stunned Luna was, Jim—thinking she did not
"Can your people take good care of her?"Joshua scoffed. "Don't worry."Joshua might have hesitated or reconsidered the request had it been anything else, but merely dispatching his men to watch over the unconscious would not be anything difficult at all for his men.With Joshua's reassurance, Jim left the ward with Luna, feeling less worried.Once both of them were gone, Joshua waved his hand to summon Lucas. "Have some people take care and watch over Bonnie closely."Lucas nodded. Ever since Joshua unraveled the whole incident regarding Laura, Lucas had been on his toes with his job to avoid any more mistakes. Thus, he found the two most trusted and responsible persons among the bodyguards. "Protect and take good care of Ms. Craig. Let no one else in, other than doctors and healthcare workers."The two bodyguards nodded diligently. However, right after Lucas left, a woman in a nurse's uniform walked toward the room with a tray of injection needles and medicine.She showed her
Even after injecting one tube of medicine into Bonnie's vein, Nikki felt that it was not enough. Haunted with greed, she wanted to administer another injection.The medicine was, in fact, a poisonous substance Lucy had gotten when she was suffering the most during her illness. At that time, she wanted to end her life and requested the poison from a doctor that she was close to.Nikki overheard the conversation between Lucy and the doctor. The doctor had said that the poison would slowly take effect once it was injected into one's body, and the person would pass away after one week. Lucy could use the one week to handle all the aftermath before she passed away.Although Nikki did not know why Lucy did not use the two bottles of poison to take her life, she had secretly put away these substances when Lucy died, not wanting Sean to know Lucy had thought of committing suicide.Nikki finally understood she did that just to use the poison for a day like today. She had to kill Bonnie to e
"You got it all wrong!"Alas, Nikki's attempts of convincing Jim could not sway him whatsoever, what more in the way she stuttered in her words.Jim squinted. "Not going to fess up, are we?"The force on his grip intensified, powerful enough that he lifted her off of the floor and strong enough to potentially snap Nikki's neck if he continued!Nikki could only struggle. "I'm telling you the truth. I—I didn't lie to you! I…"Nikki, at this point, could barely force out a sentence or two compared to seconds ago. In such a helpless state, she could only put up a pitiful fight.A noisy clatter was heard when she accidentally knocked over the things on the table when she struggled. Jim's eyebrows furrowed at the noise, but despite the intensity of his grip lessening, he did not let go of Nikki.Both of them ended up in a stalemate.At that moment, Jim's assistant, Coleman, knocked on the door and entered, reporting his findings as he did."I'm here with the information you wanted t
Nikki's taunt made Jim's eyes turn cold, and he exerted more power into his grip on her neck. "You poisoned Bonnie?"The gleam from Jim's eyes was about to devour Nikki entirely. She had never seen anyone with such a strong aura and deterrent as Jim!Despite her trembling self, however, Nikki mustered her courage to look Jim dead in the eye. "Otherwise? Do you think that I'm kind enough to really nurse her to health?"Nikki looked at Jim's face and cackled. "So you're Young Master Landry, are you? You share my brother's features, alright, but you're nothing more than a fool! With your intelligence, you're not worthy to be my brother's biological brother and not worthy to be Ms. Hamilton's biological son!"Those words had finally broken the last string that was holding Jim's sense. He glared at Nikki angrily with a killing ray from his eyes."What bullshit are you even talking about now?"The last thing he wanted to hear now was Sean and Lucy's names. However, Nikki did not care a
This made Sean anxious beyond relief. 'What's going on? Is Bonnie even inside this ward? Is she fine? Is her baby still with her? She… Even after what happened, will she still choose to be with Jim?'Suddenly, the emergency alarm started ringing fiercely. The doctor had installed an emergency button in the ward so people could press it to alert hospital staff when an emergency occurred.The loud ringing blared across the hallway, scaring the napping guards outside the door awake. Before they could react, however, a man wearing a janitor's uniform dashed right into the ward."What happened?" Sean was the first to rush into the ward.What he did not expect to see, however, was Jim choking Nikki's neck beside Bonnie's bed instead of Bonnie, who was lying on the bed."Nikki!" Sean instantly rushed over and instinctively pushed Jim away before pulling Nikki into his arms, the woman's face already turning purple at this point. "What have you done to my sister, Jim?!"Jim stumbled backw
The ward fell silent after everyone heard Nikki's words. It was not just Jim and his assistant who were shocked; it was hard for Sean to digest, too.'Why would Jim want to poison Bonnie?' Sean thought."Sean, you need to trust me." Sensing the disbelief in Sean's eyes, malice flashed past Nikki's eyes for a brief moment before she flung herself into Sean's chest, faking being the victim of circumstances. "Sean, I'm telling you the truth! Jim Landry poisoned Bonnie and said that if she's dead, no one will ever know that he had been together with Bonnie before."If she's dead, then you, Sean, will fall into deep misery. He's using this to take revenge on you…because Ms. Hamilton chose you and Mr. Wheeler instead of him!"Nikki's every word felt like daggers that stabbed into Sean's heart. He stared at the man before him, the man that he should call his brother.How much hatred did Jim have toward Lucy and Sean that he could bring himself to try and kill Bonnie, the woman he used to
