Luna was worried that she would blurt out the truth by accident and ruin Joshua's plan.All of a sudden, Gwen noticed that Bonnie's eyebrows were scrunched into a frown, and her head was beginning to sag to one side. It seemed that she would wake up at any time!There were only 30 minutes left until the stipulated time of her awakening, but it was possible that she would wake up early.On top of that, she probably heard Jim's confession, too.Gwen pursed her lips, tugged Jim away in determination, and wheeled Bonnie past him. "Mr. Landry, it'll only take ten minutes to get changed, and if you want to pour your heart out to her, you can do so at the wedding. Please change into your tuxedo now, and you can give any lovey-dovey, disgusting confession you want at the wedding ceremony."Then, she glanced at Luna and said, "Let's go, Luna."Luna immediately came to and helped Gwen wheel Bonnie into the changing room."We almost gave it away." Luna slumped against the door as soon as s
Gwen's face was filled with doubt when she asked this.Luke could not help curling his lips into a smile as he met her nervous, darting gaze. "What is there for me to overhear?"Then, he shifted into a comfortable position as he leaned against the doorframe and gently tilted Gwen's chin up, forcing her to meet his gaze. "Did you say something to Luna about me that you didn't want me to overhear?"He was asking her this on purpose, but to Gwen, she thought this meant he had not heard anything at all.She let out a sigh of relief. "Nothing; I was just talking to Luna about women's stuff and didn't want you to hear."Luke curled his lips into a smirk and leaned forward to gently kiss her on the lips. "It's about time. You guys should bring Bonnie to the hall now."Then, he hovered close to her ear and said in a low, tantalizing voice, "If you want to talk about anything private, you can tell it to me in bed tonight."Gwen's entire body stiffened when she heard this, and a split sec
The sight of a father and son standing together at the altar would usually be an amusing one, but the solemn look on their faces made it hard for anyone to laugh.The atmosphere in the room felt heavy and suffocating.When he saw Bonnie coming, Jim let out an exhale and strode toward her, holding the bouquet in his hands. Finally, he got down on one knee in front of her and said, "Bonnie, if I ever get the chance, I hope I can meet you again in my next life."If that opportunity arises, you can lose your memory and forget everything about me; you can do anything you want to me because this is what I owe you."I promise that no matter how you treat me, I'm going to stand by your side until the end of time."With that, he placed the bouquet in Bonnie's lap, closed his eyes, and gently kissed her hand.Watching this, Luna could not help laying against Joshua's chest in comfort, her eyes tearing at the sight before her despite knowing that Bonnie would not die.In the past, she used
This sentence seemed to put everyone on their toes.All of a sudden, Luna felt as though an invisible hand was squeezing her heart.How could this be?Did Rosalyn not say that Bonnie was not poisoned at all and could wake up tonight? Why was Bonnie still unconscious and worse…had stopped breathing altogether?"Bonnie…" Jim, who had already prepared himself for this moment, tried to feel for Bonnie's breath. After doing so, he remained silent and instead wrapped his arms around Bonnie's legs tightly.Apart from Jim and Harvey, everyone else in the room had expressions of shock plastered across their faces, including Rosalyn."No—this can't be!" Rosalyn narrowed her eyes and stood up from her wheelchair.Her drug could never go wrong! Unless…Unless Nikki had added something else into the syringe when poisoning Bonnie!However, Nikki had always thought this was a real poison and could not possibly have added anything else into the concoction.At the thought of this, Rosalyn tri
"Where are you going?" a crisp, childish voice rang out from behind Joshua before he could hang up the call.He immediately turned around and came face-to-face with Neil, dressed in a dashing suit. "Daddy, don't you think it's a little inappropriate for you to leave at a time like this?"Joshua furrowed his eyebrows before a small smile spread across his face.He ambled over to Neil and squatted so that they were at eye level with each other. "What's inappropriate about that?"Neil's breath caught in his throat when he met his father's cold gaze, but he still replied obediently, "Daddy, Aunt Bonnie in is a life and death situation now, and Mommy's entire family is trying their best to save her…so it would come off rude if you were to leave now."Joshua narrowed his eyes and glanced helplessly at the boy before him.Out of the three children, Nigel was always the silent one, and even though he was a mature and trustworthy child, he never seemed to care about maintaining harmony in
"I never thought that…"When he saw the look of despair in Neil's eyes, Joshua was unsure of how to console his son.He could understand Neil's disappointment and sorrow, considering that the three children had, at one point, thought Malcolm was going to be their new stepfather.However, this was not the children's fault; it was Malcolm who had fooled everyone."How about this?" Neil lifted his head to stare at Joshua. "I'm familiar with Uncle Malcolm, so I think I'd better stall him while you stay by Mommy's side."Neil tried to explain this calmly and clearly. "I heard you say you wanted to go to Thomas' house and demand he hand Uncle Malcolm over, but I think this is a risky decision, Daddy."It's unlikely that he'll hand Uncle Malcolm over, and if you went, it'll only aggravate the tension between you and Mr. Thomas even more."Even though you don't care that he's your cousin, he's still Mommy's future business partner, and this added tension won't benefit anyone."Joshua n
Rosalyn was in the midst of performing CPR on Bonnie with the help of Yannie and a few other servants.A thin film of sweat coated Rosalyn's pale, feeble-looking face while Jim glared at Charles in the distance, his entire stance defensive."Father, Mother, what the hell is going on?" Jim demanded coldly. His hands were clenched into fists as he fixed his bloodshot eyes on Charles."Jim, don't blame Father and Mother for this; they didn't know this would happen…" Luna was holding onto Jim in an attempt to calm him down.However, the more she tried to do so, the more agitated Jim became."What do you mean they didn't know this would happen?" Jim narrowed his eyes, his face clouded with hatred. "All of you knew that Bonnie would awake from her coma tonight but decided not to tell me, didn't you? And now that something terrible has happened, you finally decide to tell me the truth? If I had known…"If I had known Bonnie wouldn't die and would wake up eventually, I'd put even more ca
"It was all because of you."Every word that came out of Joshua's mouth was sharp and cruel as he continued staring at Jim coldly. "It was all because of you. You couldn't accept the fact that Charlotte had tricked you, you couldn't accept that you had been hurting Bonnie all this while, and you couldn't accept the truth that you had been abandoned by my Aunt Lucy…"You were speeding on the highway because you didn't have the guts to face the truth. Bonnie was worried about you and followed you in her car to ensure you were safe."You knew fully well that she was following you and that everything was your fault, but you were so selfishly absorbed in your emotions that you didn't even stop."You should've known from the start that an accident would eventually happen, but at that time, you were so absorbed in yourself that you couldn't even consider other people, and that led to Bonnie's downfall, so how dare you blame other people for your mistakes?"Every word felt like a sharp kn
