Bonnie furrowed her brows when she heard Christopher’s name.
“How…is Christopher doing now?”
She had not seen Christopher since the last time he was over at Joshua’s place with Jim, demanding
her to return home with him.
Joshua claimed that Christopher had fallen sick and that he had sent him elsewhere to seek treatment.
However, Bonnie did not know that Joshua had sent Christopher to Lincoln City to be with Rosalyn.
“He’s doing much better now.” A hint of pity crept into Rosalyn’s gaze at the mention of Christopher.
“He even wanted me to apologize to you on his behalf…“He told me that he had done many things to
you that he shouldn’t have during his sickness.
“He hadn’t meant to do any of those things to hurt you, but he couldn’t control himself in his psychotic
state.”
Then, she glanced at Bonnie’s finger, which was wrapped in a bandage.
“Are you okay now? Does it still hurt?”
Tears brimmed in Bonnie’s eyes as soon as she heard this. Luna had been the only person who had
asked how she was doing after Christopher broke her finger.
However, after that, Luna became busy with other stuff in her personal life, so she could only take time
out to talk to Bonnie occasionally. As time passed, even Bonnie herself had started to forget the injuries
on her body… With Rosalyn showing concern toward her, Bonnie could not help feeling a surge of
warmth spread through her heart.
Even though she was the heiress of the Craig family, she had been abandoned since she was young,
and even after she was adopted by Jason’s family, she had never received this sort of warmth from an
elder.
At this moment… This was the first time she had ever felt concern from an elder, much less about an
injury she had almost forgotten.
Because of this, all the sadness, sorrow, and helplessness surged out of her heart almost involuntarily.
Bonnie shook her head. “I’m fine. It…doesn’t affect me much. I…I had almost forgotten about it.”
Then, she wiped her tears and added, “Thank you, Mrs. Landry, for thinking about me.”
Rosalyn’s chest tightened when she saw the sorrow and happiness in Bonnie’s eyes. She quickly
grabbed Bonnie’s hands and replied, “Don’t use your hand. Come, I’ll help you wipe your tears.”
Then, with one hand holding Bonnie’s wrists, Rosalyn reached out the other hand towards Charles.
Charles immediately understood and quickly handed her a tissue. However, she froze as soon as she
took the tissue from him. That was because her other hand had pressed against Bonnie’s pulse, and…
A glimmer of shock flashed through Rosalyn’s eyes as she turned to stare at Bonnie, who still wept. Did
Christopher not say that… Bonnie had already gone through an abortion?
Why…
Multiple thoughts flashed through Rosalyn’s mind in a matter of seconds. A split second later, she
turned around and said, “Jim, come here.” Jim, who had been standing in silence to one side, strode
over.
“Yes, Mother.” Rosalyn shoved the tissue into Jim’s hand.
“Wipe her tears for her. I have an important announcement to make.”
Jim took the tissue from her somewhat reluctantly, bent down, and was about to dab it against Bonnie’s
face when Rosalyn declared, “Bonnie, the reason Jim’s father and I requested the two of you to come
over is…because we have something important to discuss with you.”
She and Charles exchanged a knowing glance.
“I think next Tuesday will be a fine day to host your wedding.”
