"But from the way you look now..." Luna could not help frowning as she glanced at Bonnie's fully-bandaged finger. "I think you’d better stay home and rest."
Bonnie had yet to recover from her abdomen injury, and she had even suffered a fracture in her finger.
Judging from the severity of her wounds, Bonnie should indeed stay home and rest.
Bonnie, however, shook her head. "I'm fine. Dr. Laura gave me some medicine before she left, so I'm feeling much better now."
With that, she pointed at the empty IV drip hanging above her head and offered her hand to Luna. "Since this kid belongs to Jim ... I want to give it one last try, for the baby's sake."
She watched Luna as she removed the cannula from her hand and smiled weakly. "Maybe I can give the child a proper home."
Luna furrowed her brows. "But..."
Bonnie herself had said that Jim's attitude toward her had been poor ever since their encounter at the hospital that morning.
Therefore, even if Bonnie had followed her t o Landry Mansion that afternoon, it would not change Jim's attitude toward her at all.
Despite Luna thinking this, however, she could not help letting out a sigh when faced with Bonnie’s hopeful gaze. "Alright then, but you have to promise me that no matter what happens, you can't get into any conflict with Charlotte there, Bonnie. You're not allowed to get too close to Jim.
"You have to stay with me and not step out of my sight whatsoever."
Bonnie pursed her lips and agreed to Luna's terms.
Finally, she let out a bitter smile and glanced at Luna. "You're like a nagging mother."
Luna rolled her eyes. "It's all because of you guys."
Luna had already felt guilty over what happened with Gwen that morning, so she could not possibly allow anything to go wrong with Bonnie.
Luna sneered. "I'm not the one taking it to heart; it's your beloved Mr. Lynch.
"Mr. Lynch has already made it clear that he's single now, and there's no Mrs. Lynch around, so you should get your titles straight. Otherwise, this mistake might cost your master a chance to find a new wife, and are you prepared to take responsibility for this?"
Thud-!
As soon as Luna finished his sentence, Joshua slammed his cutlery forcefully against the table.
The cold metal let out a deafening clatter a s it hit the hard marble tabletop.
Theo, who was sitting across from Joshua, furrowed his brows and glanced at him, signaling him to keep his temper in control. "Joshua, let’s eat."
Joshua glanced coldly in Luna's direction, then at Theo.
