“Bonnie, I don’t wish to get in the way of your happiness, but…” He glanced at Sean who, at this
moment, was furious, and added impassively, “It’s incredibly irresponsible of you to take such a young,
handsome man as your rebound.”
Bonnie pursed her lips.
She knew and had already thought of the things Jim was saying, even before he mentioned it.
However, it was one thing for her to think this and another thing entirely for Jim to bring it up in front of
Sean.
“I’m willing to be her rebound,” Sean said curtly.
He stared coldly at Jim and continued, “Not only am I willing to become her rebound, but I welcome it
more than anything in the world.
Even if she doesn’t want to spend the rest of her life with me, I’m willing to take care of her during our
time together.”
With that, he curled his lips into a smirk.
“Is there anything else you’d like to say, Mr. Landry? Sean’s words made Jim swallow everything he
wanted to say. He fell silent for a moment, then turned and stomped out of the room. The door slammed
shut behind him with a loud thud.
The nurse was utterly stunned by this exchange.
After a long while, she finally regained her composure and quickly cleared all the equipment away.
“Call me if you need anything.” Then, she turned and disappeared out of the room within the blink of an
eye, though she did not forget to shut the door behind her as she left. The only two people left inside the
room were Bonnie and Sean.
“He probably won’t be back anytime soon.” After a long while, Bonnie let out a sigh and pushed Sean
away from her.
“Thank you.” She grinned at him.
“Thank you for sticking up for me just now.
if it weren’t for you, he wouldn’t have left so willingly…” “Don’t sweat it.” Sean let out a sigh, then reached
out to gently tuck Bonnie’s hair behind her ear.
“I’ve already promised to take care and protect you with all my power, so everything that happened just
now was just a part of my duty.” Bonnie’s chest tightened upon hearing this.
She curled her lips into a somewhat awkward smile and replied, “I’ve already said he won’t be back
anytime soon, so…you don’t have to say those things to me anymore.”
Sean narrowed his eyes when he sensed her clearly distant attitude.
He stared at her for a long time in silence. Finally, he strode over to her side and got on one knee.
“Bonnie, everything I said just now TO was from the bottom of my heart; I hadn’t done it just to anger
Jim.
I… “I really want to be together with you, to take care and protect you.” He let out a bitter chuckle when
he saw the stunned look on Bonnie’s face.
“I know I’m a lot younger than you, and I come from a poor family, so a girl like you shouldn’t even give
me a second glance, but…”. He lifted his head to stare straight into her eyes.
“I really want to be with you.
“Will you give me one chance?”
