    “Me?” Jim snickered and nced at Christopher.


    “I didn’t think you’d care about anyone else but Bonnie now.”


    Then, he shifted into a morefortable position, leaning against the bar table, and added,” When you


    brought her up immediately after calling me, I thought you were here to speak on her behalf.”


    “No, I’m not.


    She doesn’t need to be friends with someone like me who hurt her in the past, much less… speak to you


    on her behalf.” Christopher sported a self-deprecating smile, then


    lifted his head to stare at Jim.


    “Jim, I’m in the middle of something important now, and as soon as I’m finished, I might bring June with


    me to somece up north.


    “Aunty Rosalyn had already given me the recipe to formte the drugs for my illness, and I’ll be able to


    produce my own medicine in the future.


    I…”


    He paused for a moment before continuing, “I want to bring June with me to somece where nobody


    knows us and start a new life there.” Jim’s entire body stiffened when he heard this.


    He lifted his head to stare at Christopher in shock.


    “But you’ve lived in Merchant City for the past twenty years… All your friends and family are here, so


    you…” Christopher picked up his ss and drained its contents before finally replying, “It’s precisely


    because I’ve been living here for more than twenty years that I want to leave.


    I can’t let myself ,remain stagnant forever, so I want to go somewhere up north to a foreign city and start


    our lives afresh.” He lowered his head to stare at his empty ss and sighed.


    “I want June to experience the life she’s always wanted…” Jim sighed.


    “Are you going toe back in the future?” “I don’t know.” Christopher let out a bitter chuckle.


    “It’s still too early to n this yet since I haven’t yet finished what I’m doing…” He lifted his head to meet


    Jim’s gaze.


    “Therefore, I hope you and Bonnie can help me look after June before I finish what I started. “The only


    person I care about now is June, and if anything happens to her…I’ll never be able to devote my time


    AYESJAsp energy to my research.” Jim furrowed his brows, picked up his wine ss, and gently clinked


    it against Christopher’s.

    Then, he smiled and downed the contents of his ss.


    “Don’t worry; I watched June grow up before my own eyes, and if anything bad happens to her, I’d be


    worried sick, too.”


    After getting Jim’s word, Christopher exhaled and lifted his head to stare earnestly at Jim.” Actually,


    there’s another reason I returned to Banyan City.


    I have something I wanted to talk to you about, apart from this…” He poured himself another ss of


    wine.


    “The baby that Bonnie aborted…wasn’t mine.”


    Jim furrowed his brows and shot Christopher a look of disbelief.


    “Not yours?” He recalled how confident Christopher had been that Bonnie was pregnant with his child


    and how he even forced Jim to go with him to Joshua’s house to bring her home… “That’s right.”


    Christopher sighed.


    “Even though I was already sick at that time, I was still sane.


    “I hadn’t said that because I was in a psychotic state, but because I didn’t want you and Bonnie to get


    back together again, so, out of my selfish reasons, I told you that Bonnie was pregnant with my child…


    “That way, you would give up trying to get back together with her because you thought she had moved


    on and was dating me.” Jim narrowed his eyes upon hearing this.
