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
Jim's clenched fists finally began to relax.He lifted his head to shoot Joshua a helpless glance. "Bonnie…must be disappointed in me right now."Seven years ago, Bonnie had given birth to his precious son, and a year ago, by a twist of fate, she had fallen hopelessly and selflessly in love with him.Not only that, but even after he lost his memories, she still believed in him and believed that eventually, he would regain his memories of her.Alas, Bonnie never got to hear his apology, much less listen to him declare his love toward her even until the end of her days…Bonnie was probably utterly disappointed in him, was she not?Perhaps she would be so devastated that she would not want to see him again in her next life.Jim, on the contrary, had constantly blamed other people for what happened to Bonnie but failed to reflect on his mistakes.If…it were not for him, she would not have ended up like this in the first place, so what right did he have to point fingers at his paren
"Truth be told, you're such a hypocrite. You keep telling me that choosing to end your own life is what a coward would do, yet you choose the same thing."Did you think that I don't know about—"Before he could even finish, a woman's voice rang out in sheer disbelief, "Is Bonnie breathing? Is she?!"The shriek came from none other than Kate, who had been helping Rosalyn all this while.As soon as she said this, everyone in the room seemed to freeze.Jim, on the other hand, sprinted in their direction before anyone could even blink. "My B! My precious Bonnie! Are you awake?""She is." Rosalyn heaved a sigh of relief as tears pooled in her eyes. "It's a miracle; it really is!"From Rosalyn's expertise, she knew that as soon as she stopped CPR, Bonnie's life would end on the spot.Even if she continued doing CPR on her, Bonnie was not actually breathing on her own, and there was no changing her fate anymore.However, when she saw the devastation on Jim's face, Rosalyn knew that s
