"It's not that simple."
Jim smiled bitterly when Luna asked about Bonnie's condition.His angular face mellowed into faint
hopelessness.
"I talked for a long time last night, and I don't know if she can even hear me."
Jim was looking at Luna, but it was like his sight bypassed Luna's body and gazed at another distant
place.
"Come to think of it, she only has four days remaining.Four days..."
He smiled bitterly.
"If she wakes up, I can at least say goodbye to her.If she doesn't..."
After a sniff, he continued, 'If she doesn't wake up, I can only apologize to her in person after I die.
"To be honest, I regret it all now.If we don't have Harvey, and if I didn't promise her that I'd take care of
Harvey...I'd want to die with her.We could go to heaven together and maybe reincarnate together so
we'd likely not lose each other in the next life.I want to know her before getting to know Number-9 in my
next life.Then, there won't be any problem with Number- 9 or Charlotte..."
Despite bearing a smile as he talked, Luna could see from his smile how desperate his heart was.
At this moment, Luna wanted to tell him that Bonnie was indeed Number-9.
All these years, the only woman that he felt intense remorse for was the same one all along!
Regardless, Luna decided against it.It was not because she did not feel pity for Jim and Bonnie's
relationship.
The main reason was that she knew Bonnie would wake up after four days instead of dying as Jim
thought.By then, all the sorrow and despair Jim felt would become astonishment and surprise.
Moreover, Bonnie had kept her 'real Number-9' identity a secret all this while, and if Luna told Jim this,
Bonnie might be bitter when she woke up.
Having that thought in mind, Luna decided to keep her silence and pretended to know nothing.
"What are you two talking about here?"
Rosalyn, at this moment, spotted Luna and Him from across the dining room.
"Come on in! What secret are you two talking about? Can't your father and I hear it, too?"
Luna smiled and finally turned her gaze to Rosalyn.
"Nothing.We were just talking."
After that, she walked into the dining room and sat beside Rosalyn.
"Mother is right.We haven't been eating as a whole family for a long time."
If Bonnie was not in this condition, their family would have gathered during Jim and Bonnie's wedding.
Alas...Luna sighed again and said nothing when she thought of Bonnie.
Rosalyn did not pay much attention to Luna's feelings.She grabbed Luna's hand and kept on asking
about her grandchildren.
Then, she turned her head to look at Jim.
"How's Bonnie doing?"
Jim curled his lips into a smile and repeated what he told Luna.
After knowing the whole story, Rosalyn lamented, "Actually, you don't have to think of the worst-case
scenario.There's still a possibility that we can save Bonnie from dying."
