“Get away from me…” Bonnie bit her lip and stared at the man before her with eyes full of hatred and
resentment. “Get away from me, Jim Landry!
“I never want to see you again!”
Christopher let out a sigh as he stared at the bleeding, struggling women before him.
He could not believe that even in her dazed state, Jim was still the only person on her mind. Christopher
tossed the umbrella aside, picked up Bonnie in his arms, and strode into the house.
As he did this, Bonnie struggled in his arms. “Let go of me! Let go of me, Jim! Go find your precious
fiancée instead!”
The more she struggled, the more blood seeped out of her wound.
However, it was as though she could not feel the pain.
On the other hand, perhaps the hurt that tormented her heart far surpassed any physical pain she could
feel.
Bonnie clutched Christopher’s arm, and after cursing Jim for a while, she started crying helplessly. “Jim,
what’ll happen to me after you leave me?
“I’ve already planned out our future together. I’m going to treat Harvey and Shelly like my own children.
“I’ve already planned to transfer all of the Craig family’s assets to your name to help your family tide over.
“I’ve planned out all of our future…but you’ve left me for another woman. You’ve left me…”
Bonnie sobbed, heartbroken.
Christopher tightened his grip around her.
Finally, he placed her on the sofa and inched closer to her, tilting her chin up as he did so. “Bonnie! Open
your eyes and see who I am!”
Christopher’s voice was so loud that Bonnie lurched back to reality, and she finally lifted her head to peer
at him carefully.
The man standing before her was handsome and gentle, and even though he was just as good-looking,
this man was clearly not Jim.
Bonnie was a little dazed by this. ”Chris…Christopher?”
What was he doing here?
Was he not supposed to be in Banyan City?
When she left Banyan City that morning, she had even messaged him to help her take care of Harvey
and Shelly, so what was he doing in Merchant City?
“I was worried about you, so I followed you all the way here.” Christopher let out a sigh, brought over a
pair of scissors and a first aid kit, and kneeled in front of her.
His gaze landed on Bonnie’s stomach.
His gaze felt hot on her skin, so much so that she could not help reaching out to cover her wound.
Feebly and tearfully, she bleated, “I…I’m fine.”
`Am I supposed to believe that after the amount of blood you lost?” Christopher pulled her hand away
and scrutinized the wound on her abdomen. “Do you honestly think you can hide that from me? Have
you forgotten that I’m a doctor?”
He reached out and gently touched Bonnie’s cold body with his warm fingertips. “The wound is large and
quite deep, but thankfully, you didn’t hurt any of your vital organs.”
With that, he went into the bathroom to retrieve a towel and stuffed it into Bonnie’s mouth. “Bite down on
this; I’m about to start cleaning your wound now.”
Bonnie furrowed her brows, but before she could protest, Christopher put on a pair of gloves and started
t o clean her wound.
He did not put on any local anesthesia, and it hurt so much that tears slid down her cheeks. The vision
turned blurry, and so did her thoughts.
All of a sudden, Jim’s handsome, cold face appeared before her.
“Miss, I’ve already said what I wanted to, so please leave yourself some respect.”
Bonnie started to cry even harder.
Even though one year did not seem like a long time, she had poured herself entirely into this relationship.
She had taken care of his children like her own and did plenty of things that would make him happy.
The only thing she received in return? Jim’s cold, heartless words.
