Jim closed his eyes as regret weighed upon his heart heavily.
‘Would…everything be different had I chosen not to believe in Charlotte, believing in Bonnie a little bit
more instead? Bonnie has only six days left, and she’s still in a coma. Are six days enough for me to
repent and make up for all my sins toward her?’
“Jim.” Looking at how sorrowful Jim seemed, Rachel could not help but walk up to him and pat his
shoulder.
“There’s a slight chance with Ms. Craig’s condition—”
“Just a very small tiny chance,” Joshua interrupted before Rachel could finish. He furrowed his brows
and looked at Jim.
“Although you only have six days left, you shouldn’t spend it wallowing in regret. You should plan out
nicely how you want to spend it with her. Even if she’s not going to wake up, you should at least do
whatever you could for her.”
All the while, the laptop was playing the video when Jim asked for Bonnie’s hand in marriage during their
video call.
“These are enough to prove that Bonnie’s willing to marry you.” Jim finally regained his senses. He
nodded and took the laptop from Nigel.
“I know what to do.”
After that, Jim left with the laptop.
As he watched Jim walking away, Sean hesitated for a while before he caved.
“I have something to talk to him about.”
With that, he instantly chased after Jim.
When both brothers were out of sight, Luna looked at Joshua helplessly.
“Didn’t Dr. Liddell say that there’s a slight chance of saving Bonnie? Why didn’t you let her finish? Even if
there’s not a chance to save her, you shouldn’t have interrupted Dr. Liddell’s thought of comforting Jim.”
Joshua chuckled and pulled Luna into his arms tightly.
“Difficult times often bring out the best in people. If Jim didn’t think that Bonnie only has seven days to
live, do you think he’d be so frank with his heart?”
In truth, Jim had already fallen in love at first sight with Bonnie, but he had been holding back. He had
only gotten together with Bonnie because he accidentally consumed the medicine that Heather was
meant to give to Luna.
However, during a chat with Joshua, he said…that even if it was not for the medicine, he wanted to be
together with Bonnie. That night was just a push to make him underst more about what his heart truly
wanted.
Jim never dared to face his feelings. If no one was there to give him a little push, there would be a long
road ahead between him and Bonnie before both of them got together.
“You’re saying that you’d deny my medical skills openly just to motivate Jim. Is that it?” Rachel sneered
and glanced at Joshua’s face remotely
“I don’t know if this is your idea or your mother-in-law’s, but as a doctor, I never like to lie to the patient.
This is against my work ethic, and I never like lying to others.
“Mr. Lynch, I’ll tell you now that I’ll be telling anyone the truth if they ask about Ms. Craig’s condition from
now onward.”
With that, she grabbed Caleb and left the study.
However, just after walking a few steps down the stairs, a man blocked their path. He opened his arms
widely in front of Rachel.
“Dr. Liddell, did you just say you hate people who tell lies?”
