“This means that…the child she had been pregnant with was not yours, but…” “It was yours,”
Christopher said, staring intently at Jim.
“The only person Bonnie has ever loved and been intimate with was you.
As for me and her… “It has only been my wishful thinking since the start, and she never liked me back at
all.” Jim was holding his glass so tight that his knuckles had turned white.
“She…was pregnant with my child?”
“Yes.” Christopher sighed.
“In the past, I used to think that you and Charlotte were meant to be since both of your lives had been
intertwined since young when you first met at the orphanage.
“Therefore, I thought that…even if I lied to Bonnie about you and made her abort the child, it’d still be for
your good.
After all, there was no way you and her would ever be together again, so what was the point of keeping
the child? “However, I never thought that…” He closed his eyes and let out a bitter chuckle.
“I never thought that Charlotte had been lying all along.” He lifted his head to glance at Jim.
“Are you still going to track down Number-9?” Jim nodded in reply.
“I’m already searching for her.” “You shouldn’t.” Christopher curled his lips into a bitter smile.
“Bonnie loves you more than anything.
Not only did she give birth to Harvey for you, but she even aborted the second child because of you.
“You should know that…her health hasn’t been at its best lately.
She shouldn’t have gone through with the abortion at all, considering how difficult it had been for her to
even get pregnant in the first place. “However, because you had lost your memories and chose Charlotte
over her, she lost all hope in your relationship and therefore decided to abort the child despite the health
consequences.
“She’s a good person, so you should stop trying to look for Number-9 and cherish what you have right
now instead.” Jim let out a sigh but did not reply.
He poured himself another glass of wine and continued drinking.
“I’ve already told you that I don’t like her that way.
If I choose to be together with her despite this, it won’t be fair to either of us.” Christopher sighed
DRDXL_mr had no choice but to explain the effects of the drug to him.” The reason you don’t remember
her is not because you don’t love her, but because you loved her too much in the past.” Jim sneered and
lifted his head to meet Christopher’s gaze.
“What if I had done so simply because I had felt guilty for putting her through all the suffering of
childbirth? If this is the case, then I don’t truly love her at all.” Christopher did not know how to answer
this. Even though he was Jim’s best friend, he could not guarantee whether Jim had known about
Bonnie’s true identity as Harvey’s mother before losing his memories.
As soon as he thought of this, Christopher sighed but remained silent, not knowing what to say.
Instead, he continued drinking in silence. Jim, too, joined him.
For some reason, he could not help feeling frustrated and helpless ever since finding out about Bonnie’s
abortion. He and Christopher drank until midnight.
After coming out of the pub, Christopher hailed a taxi back to his hotel. In his intoxicated state, Jim got
back into his car.
“Where should I take you, Sir?” the driver asked when he saw how drunk Jim was.
Jim laid in the backseat and closed his eyes, his mind in an utter mess.
The driver asked the same question again.
With his eyes still closed, Jim unconsciously gave him the address of a familiar place.
“Take me to Tea Cottage.”
