Chapter 2253


    Rosalyn sighed and clutched Charles’ hand infort as they slowly left. Inside the room, Jim held


    Bonnie’s hand. As he watched Charles and Rosalyn leaving through the window, he finally could not stop


    himself from sighing. He squeezed Bonnie’s cold hand and said, “Bonnie, they’ve already agreed for us


    to get married…


    “I know that if you woke up right now, you’d still reject me because you don’t think I mean it, that I’m just


    marrying you because of Harvey or just to mock you. The truth is…” He lowered his body and ced


    Bonnie’s palm against his face.


    “I haven’t been telling the truth.”


    He closed his eyes, and a tear slid down his cheek. When did he fall for Bonnie?


    It was probably from the first time heid eyes on her. The first time he saw her was not at Tea Cottage


    but when he caught sight of the photo on hisptop.


    Inside that picture, Bonnie was standing underneath a maple tree, dressed in red. Even with her back


    facing the camera, she still looked carefree and alluring.


    This photo reminded Jim of the little girl he had met at the orphanage, Number-9, and made him


    reminisce about the old feelings buried deep within his heart.


    He was with Charlotte at that time, and he had always thought Charlotte was Number-9. However, no


    matter how many times he tried topare Charlotte to the photo on hisputer screen, he could not


    convince himself that it was a match. Jim did not know what he had experienced before losing his


    memories, but he knew that at one point, he must have loved this woman.


    Even though he had lost his memories, Jim believed that deep down, his core personality had not


    changed Jim preferred to keep his desktop free of clutter and only kept items that were truly important to


    him. It was clear that by the location of the photo on hisputer desktop, he had ced it there


    deliberately and would constantly look at it in the past. Ever since then, Jim could not help feeling curious


    about this woman dressed in red until one day Bonnie asked him to meet her at Tea Cottage. On the day


    they met, she was not wearing red clothes, but for some reason, Jim recognized her as the woman in the


    photo almost instantaneously.


    Nheless, his dignity prevented him from asking Bonnie about the photo directly.


    Every word that came out of Bonnie’s mouth every tear that slid down her cheek pained him terribly, but


    at that time, he was still with Charlotte.


    He kept insulting Bonnie in hopes that she would give up on him, but at the same time, he could not help


    ming himself for being so unfaithful and falling for another woman.


    Now…Charlotte had been exposed as a liar.


    However, his impulsivity hadnded Bonnie in this situation. This was probably God’s way of punishing


    him, was it not? God was punishing him for ignoring and hurting a woman who loved him with all her


    heart. However, if this was meant to be a punishment, why was he not the one lying on the bed,


    unconscious? Why was he not the one poisoned?


    Bonnie was innocent… Jim closed his eyes as he wrapped his arms around Bonnie’s body. If only he


    could turn back time, he would rather he be the one who got into the car crash, not her.


    “Mr. Jim,” a young boy’s voice rang out from the door. Jim immediately lifted his head and came face-to-


    face with Harvey, standing by the door, his little face bright red and panting as he held onto the doorway. This belongs to N?velDrama.Org - ?.


    “Mommy… Did she really miscarry her child? Is it true that she only has a week left to live?” Jim’s


    expression darkened upon hearing this.


    “Who told you this?” The only people who knew this were his parents, the doctors at the hospital, and


    Christopher.


    “June told me.”


    Tears brimmed in Harvey’s eyes as he wailed, “Is this true? Answer me!”
