“She’s quite beautiful, and she seems like an intelligent woman.”
Theo’s face blushed scarlet as he replied, “Yes, she’s indeed an extraordinary woman.
“I used to think she was just an outstanding doctor, but the more I got to know about her past, the more I
admire her.”
As he said this, he stared off into the distance, engrossed in his memories of Dr. Rachel.” Initially, I
thought that she must’ve grown up in a family of doctors to become such an exceptional one, but after
that, I found out that she was an orphan and had grown up in an orphanage. Everything she has now is a
result of her hard work and determination…”
Bonnie nodded in agreement. “Don’t underestimate kids that grow up in orphanages; they can be
surprisingly resilient.”
With that, she pointed at herself and added, “Actually, I had grown up in an orphanage myself.
Theo could not help furrowing his brows when he heard this. A split second later, he turned and stared at
Bonnie in shock. “But aren’t you…the heiress to the Craig family?”
“Of course I am, but I accidentally got separated from my family when I was young.”
Bonnie stood up, gave a lazy stretch, and continued impassively, “I was adopted by the Lane family
when I was a teenager, and I ended up falling in love with their son, Jason.
“He’s a bad person, but at that time, I naively thought that as long as he treated me well, it didn’t matter
what kind of person he was to others, but…”
She let out a bitter smile. “After that, I found out that he treated me well because he had known all along
I was the heiress to the Craig family fortune.
“Six years ago, he brought me to Banyan City to find my birth parents, but…my family refused to reclaim
me, even with DNA evidence proving that I was their child, so I lost all my value to Jason.
“Thereafter, he tricked me into doing many bad things…and then wiped my memory after.”
Theo could not help feeling bad for Bonnie after listening to her story.
It was hard for him to imagine that Bonnie Craig, the ever so cheerful heiress to the Craig family fortune,
had, in fact, suffered so much in her past.
“Truth be told, I don’t remember anything about my time at the orphanage, but I managed to regain my
memories when I helped Neil in his experiment to regain his.
“However, the memories are still quite foggy.”
Bonnie let out a sigh as she gazed off into the distance. “I still remember vaguely that when I was seven
or eight years old, I had met an older boy at the orphanage who told me that he’d take me away from the
orphanage and marry me as soon as he grew up.
“He even gave me something as a token of our love and told me that he’d use this to find me again in the
future.”
“What happened after that?”
“Nothing.” Bonnie shrugged and said, “Children don’t mean what they say most of the time.”
She was certain that no one in this world would remember such a gullible promise made during
childhood as clearly as she did.
Bonnie let out another sigh. “I still remember the name of the orphanage I was at; it’s called Love and
Kindness Children’s Home. Unfortunately, that place was scrapped years ago.”
“Love and Kindness Children’s Home?” Theo furrowed his brows, suddenly finding this name strangely
familiar.
He tilted his head and caught sight of the painting before him.
Suddenly, he recalled something and immediately stormed into the house.
Bonnie frowned as she watched him leave, baffled by his abruptness.
Just as she was about to return to her room, Theo sprinted out, clutching a paper in his hand.” You
might’ve known Roanne and Charlotte when you were younger!”
Theo showed her the paper he was holding, which was written with information about Roanne. “Charlotte
and Roanne had grown up in Love and Kindness Children’s Home too! “Since you’re close in age, the
three of you must’ve met before!”
