Christopher was dressed in a white shirt stained bright red with blood, and was standing at the church entrance, clutching a green canvas backpack.Amid the screams of the startled wedding guests, he unzipped his backpack, revealing a fruit knife with a blade that was almost half a meter long.The shiny blade was stained with blood, and as Christopher slowly removed it from his bag, droplets of blood trickled down the edge and onto the floor.The wedding guests erupted into screams of terror, and in a split second, the entire hall was reduced to chaos as everyone flurried about, trying to escape.Onstage, Jim narrowed his eyes as he stared coldly at Christopher. "What's wrong with you?"Having known Christopher for so many years, he could tell at once that something was not right.Christopher's attitude, as well as the crazed look in his eyes, seemed to suggest that something unusual was going on."What's wrong with me, you ask?" Christopher slowly made his way toward the stage,
As long as Jim died, Bonnie's heart would die with him, and she would finally be willing to accept Christopher's love.As long as Jim died, Harvey would become a fatherless child, and Christopher would finally be able to take Harvey and Bonnie together with him. That way, June would no longer refuse to leave because of Harvey!He had to do it. He had to kill Jim.Killing him was the solution to everything!Christopher fixed his gaze on Jim's face and sneered. "Jim, do you know how you'll be able to make up for your sins? Why don't you let me help you?"Marrying Bonnie won't reduce your guilt toward her. The only way you'll be able to redeem yourself is to die, and everyone's lives will be better soon after!"Jim immediately took a step back upon hearing this.To his surprise, his first instinct upon watching Christopher lunge toward him with a knife was not to run or hide.Christopher…was right.As long as he died, he would be able to redeem himself, and Bonnie would forgive h
The person who had leaped in front of Jim and intercepted Christopher's attack on him was none other than Sean, who not long ago had been upset at Jim for wanting to marry Bonnie.He was clutching Christopher's blade with his bare hands, but despite that, he was so strong that no matter how hard Christopher tried, he could not pry the knife free.Finally, Christopher had no choice but to give up.He released his hold on the knife and instead wrapped his arms around Jim's neck, shoving him up against the pillar. "Since when did you have a brother? I can't believe how many people are unwilling to see you die, you fucker, but it doesn't matter anyway; I'm going to kill you right here!"I'm going to kill you, for Bonnie, and for June!"Jim's back was slammed firmly against the wall, and as he watched Luna and Joshua rush toward him as fast as they could, while Sean gripped the knife with his bare, bleeding hands…He could not help thinking that there was a surprising amount of people
Jim knelt as though he wanted to pick Sean up in his arms, but Sean shot him a murderous look. "Get away from me! I can walk by myself!"He then shoved Jim away with his elbow and tried to prop himself up.However, because both of his palms had been injured, he could not bear weight on them, much less use his hands to pick himself off the ground.Even after several attempts, he did not manage to stand back up.Jim let out a sigh and, ignoring Sean's desperate protests, picked him up in his arms. "Stop trying to prove yourself! You shouldn't have saved me just now, knowing that you'd be injured like this!"With that, he glanced at Luna and Joshua, then at Bonnie, who sat quietly in her wheelchair. He sighed. "Please help me take care of her; I need to send Sean to the hospital."Luna could not help feeling a little amused by the sight of Jim carrying Sean in his arms like a child, but she nodded earnestly, nonetheless. "Don't worry. Joshua and I will take good care of Bonnie for y
Luna's grip tightened around her phone upon hearing Rachel's words, then asked in a trembling voice, "Dr. Liddell, are…you sure?"Even though Rosalyn was her mother, Luna could not help wishing that, for once, Rosalyn was wrong.If Rosalyn was wrong, this meant that Rachel was right, and Bonnie would not die.Nothing mattered more than Bonnie's health!"I'm certain," Rachel replied confidently. "Luna, I've been studying medicine since I was fifteen, and with more than ten years of experience in the medical field, I can guarantee that Bonnie will be fine!"She won't die, much less in seven days. Not only that, but I discovered the presence of a special drug in Bonnie's blood report."Rachel let out an exhale and said with a hint of helplessness, "This drug has the ability to improve the function of all of the organs in the body within a short time, but it comes with a nasty side effect: it'll put the patient to sleep—a coma-like state—for a very long time."My guess is that Bonni
Could it be?Could Rosalyn have known Bonnie would be fine from the start but chose to lie to Jim so that he would realize his true feelings toward her?After all…judging from Rosalyn's expertise, it was highly unlikely that she would commit such a rookie mistake.Even though Rosalyn was not a true doctor, she had more than 20 years of experience in formulating and manufacturing drugs, so it was highly unlikely that Rosalyn could have missed such a glaringly obvious sign when Rachel picked up on it.At the thought of this, Luna quickly took out her phone. Before she could, however, Rosalyn called her instead.Luna never expected Rosalyn to call her at this time, so she froze momentarily in shock before finally picking up. "Hello, Mother.""Lulu, is everything… Is everything okay?" Rosalyn's voice sounded a little hoarse from the other end of the line. "It's all my fault…"Are Jim and Bonnie…and Christopher… Are they all alright? I wanted to go to the church myself, but you know
Luna's entire body stiffened as Joshua pulled her into his arms.However, a split second later, she came to a sudden realization and stared at Joshua with wide eyes. "So…you already guessed this when you first heard Rachel talking about the lab results?"Joshua nodded impassively. "It wasn't because I doubted her expertise; I simply wanted her to give me a concrete answer as to whether Bonnie was poisoned or not."If she were certain that Bonnie didn't get poisoned, I'd be able to know that Mother-in-law had lied to Jim so he could realize his true feelings for Bonnie. However…"He sighed as he glanced at his surroundings. "I never thought Jim would summon Christopher back to Merchant City because of Bonnie."After all, Christopher had already made up his mind to stay in Lincoln City to develop the antidote to regain Jim's memories, but Jim had summoned him back to Merchant City without notifying any of them.After seeing Bonnie and June's current states, Christopher's illness ha
"I believe you.""Luna, Joshua!" Just as the two of them were immersed in their conversation, Charles lifted his head to hand Rosalyn the peeled apple and, in doing so, caught sight of them.A trace of a smile spread across his face as he called out, "When did you guys arrive? Why aren't you coming inside to greet us? How come you're hiding in a corner like young lovers?"Rosalyn, too, lifted her head to glance in her direction when she heard this. She grinned when she caught sight of her daughter and son-in-law in each other's arms. "Alright, we all know how sweet you two are, so come join us now!"Blushing, Luna quickly removed Joshua's arms from her waist and headed in Rosalyn and Charles' direction.However, she had just taken two steps when Joshua's hand clasped around hers. He quickly overtook her and dragged her along behind him as he strode into the backyard. "Luna saw the two of you enjoying your time together, so she didn't want to intrude. Why else would we not want to
