After listening to Bonnie's plan, Joshua immediately sent a few of his men to pack Bonnie, Harvey, and June's bags and send them to Tea Cottage.
When Bonnie finally finished her IV fluids in the evening, she felt a lot better.
With Joshua and Luna's help, she finally returned to Tea Cottage.
Standing at the gate, a bitter smile crept across Bonnie's face as she stared at the familiar building.
She still remembered...
This was the place where Jim and her first slept together, a place that held too many memories of her and Jim.
This was where they first met and started dating.
The first time they cooked together.
The first time they showered together...
All of these memories surged into her mind as she closed her eyes.
The image of Jim's cold and hostile attitude toward her that afternoon appeared before her eyes.
'Forget him,' Bonnie thought to herself.
It was time to let go.
In a few days, after the person who raped Nikki was captured, and after she settled the issue of Harvey’s guardianship, she would leave this city.
She, and the child inside her belly, would return to the place she belonged.
As soon as she thought of this, Bonnie let out an exhale and strode into the yard. ' "Bonnie," a low, male voice rang out from behind her before she could reach the front door.
This voice sounded both strange and familiar.
She glanced in the direction of the voice.
Christopher, who she had not seen in a long time, was standing underneath the trellis in the yard.
Then, she turned to look at Christopher. " What did you want to say to me?"
Christopher perked up when he saw Bonnie finally talking to him. "I... First off, I want to apologize to you.
"I have a family history of psychiatric illnesses, and I knew that one day, I'd end up like my mother, which was why I remained by Aunt Rosalyn's side all this while so that she could help me gain control of my disease through medicine.
"However, after she fell into her coma, no one could formulate the medicine for me anymore. Even though I tried to make it myself, the drug didn't come out as effective as how she made it...and so, I lost control of my symptoms."
Then, he bowed at Bonnie and added," Besides apologizing to you, I also want to tell you..."
He let out an exhale. "I hope you don't give up on Jim too soon.
"The reason he doesn't remember you is not that you don't matter to him, but on the contrary, it's because you matter too much... "
"I'm already in the middle of formulating the appropriate antidote for him, and if you wait a little longer—"
"There's no need for that," Bonnie interrupted him curtly. "It's not entirely bad that he can't remember me."
