“Christopher, it’s precisely because you’re such a good doctor that I don’t want you to continue wasting
time on me.
“You’ve said yourself that my case is just a simple one, and I can get by with just a nurse taking care of
m e, so I don’t need someone like you to look after me.”
Christopher furrowed his brows.
“But I want to!”
“I don’t.” Bonnie opened her eyes to stare intently at Christopher, but her gaze seemed to penetrate past
him to somewhere far, far away.
“Christopher, I know you’re a good person, but I’m not.
“The only person on my mind is Jim, and even though he doesn’t remember me anymore and doesn’t
love me anymore, I still can’t let go of him.
“Jim was right.
Someone like me is no match for you, so I think it’s best that I stay away from you.”
Bonnie clutched her abdomen and forced herself to stand up.
“My phone has been broken for almost twenty-four hours now.
I’m worried that Harvey can’t get in touch with me, and I’m worried about Shelly…
“If you don’t want to come with me, I can go buy a new phone myself.”
With that, she started shuffling slowly in the direction of the shopping mall.
Christopher remained motionless and clenched his fists as he stared at Bonnie’s slow-moving figure.
A split second later, he let out an exhale and called out, “Bonnie!”
He sprinted toward her and grabbed hold of her arm.
“You can use my phone to get in touch with Harvey, and if anything happens to Shelly, June will call me.
“You don’t need a new phone, nor do you need a nurse to care for you.
Just having me is enough!”
As Christopher said this, he hailed a taxi and tried to shove Bonnie into the car.
“Come home with me!”
Bonnie was startled by his sudden aggressiveness and started struggling against his grasp.
“Christopher! Let me go! Are you crazy?”
However, she was no match for him.
Even though Christopher usually looked weak and scholarly whereas Bonnie was feisty, she still was no
match for him in a physical fight.
During their struggle, Christopher accidentally pressed his hand against Bonnie’s wound.
An excruciating pain shot up through her body, and the color drained from Bonnie’s face.
Her entire body immediately stiffened, unable to move due to the pain.
Christopher seized this opportunity to shove her into the taxi.
However, just as he was about to close the door, Bonnie grabbed hold of the door handle and stopped
him from doing so.
She glared at him and snapped, “Christopher, have you gone insane?”
However, in his frenzied state, Christopher could not hear anything from her side at all.
At this point, he was seeing red, and he tried to pluck Bonnie’s hand off the handle, one finger at a time.”
Listen to me, listen to me!
“Bonnie, from now on, I’m the only person you can rely on.
As long as you depend on me, everything will b e okay!
“I’ll take care of you.
I’ll take care of you even better than anyone can!
“Why don’t you give me a chance?”
Bonnie was terrified to see how deluded Christopher looked at this moment.
She had a feeling that if she went with Christopher, he would do something even crazier in the future.
The moment her hand was removed from the door handle, she clamped her other hand on it.”
Christopher, snap out of it!”
However, Christopher did not register what she was saying and instead continued to remove her fingers
one by one.
All of a sudden, there came a loud snap.
He had fractured one of her fingers.
Bonnie finally let go of the door handle due to the excruciating pain, and Christopher proceeded to pull
the door harshly to close.
However, before he could do so, a hand reached out to stop him.
“She can’t go with you.”
