Chapter 1830 No local anesthesia, no painkillers… Even using alcohol to clean a person’s wounds would be excruciating without local anesthesia, not to mention stitching Bonnie up with a needle and suture. Initially, Luna had thought Bonnie had passed out from the blood loss, but it seemed that… It seemed that Bonnie had passed out due to the immense pain. Luna bit her lip and said worriedly, “You could’ve sent her to the nearest clinic as soon as she stops bleeding…” Even though it was pouring outside, a clinic had all the necessary equipment Christopher needed, including anesthesia. Even though Tea Cottage was located in a secluded area, Christopher would only need an hour to get Bonnie to the nearest clinic. According to what she knew of Christopher, Luna refused to believe that he would not be able to help Bonnie tide over one hour before arriving at the clinic. Christopher’s expression darkened when he heard this. “I don’t know how to drive.” Before Luna could say anything, Joshua curled his lips into a small smile and asked, “When we arrived here, we saw an empty cab going in the opposite direction. Did you come here by taxi?” Christopher narrowed his eyes and nodded. “Yes, I did.” Luna immediately frowned when she heard this. This meant that Christopher could have been able to help Bonnie. As long as he told the driver to wait, he would have been able to bring Bonnie into the car and send her to the nearest clinic, saving her from the pain and suffering she had gone through. Christopher was a doctor himself, so he could not possibly be unaware of the pain one had to sustain when their wound was being cleansed and stitched up! As soon as she thought of this, Luna bit her lip and said, “Do you really like Bonnie?” If he truly liked her, he would not bear to put her through this pain! Christopher narrowed his eyes and snapped, “No one else likes Bonnie more than I do, but I simply wanted her to remember the pain that Jim put her through.” Even though Bonnie had passed out, he was still sure that she would remember the pain and hurt that Jim had inflicted on her. Even though he had deliberately chosen not to send Bonnie to a clinic, he was doing this for her own good! Luna sucked in a deep breath and asked, “I don’t understand how you can treat her like this, Christopher. I f you really like someone…” “Luna,” Joshua interrupted her curtly before she could finish. “Christopher had his reasons for doing this.” The person who had shown up and helped Bonnie when she needed it the most was Christopher, and he and Luna had arrived too late. Because of this, they had no right to reprimand him at all, considering he had saved her in the end.
Joshua stood up and said, “The rain is getting heavier, so I think we should return home after the rain stops.” With that, he turned to glance at Luna. “I recall that one of the rooms here used to belong to you, am I right? If so, I wish to pick up our conversation about my aunt.” Luna furrowed her brows. She knew that she had been acting out of impulse and that she had no right to reprimand Christopher for this. Therefore, she stood up and let out a sigh. “Alright. Follow my lead.” With that, she scampered up the stairs. As soon as Luna disappeared at the end of the stairs, Joshua let out a sigh and turned to glance at Christopher. “I’m sorry. She was too worried about Bonnie and acted too rashly, but…” He curled his lips into a smirk and continued, “Even though physical pain is certainly effective in making one remember their mistakes, it doesn’t mean you should abuse it. “Bonnie is Luna’s friend, and if you were to hurt her again in the name of doing good in the future, both me and Luna will help her find another man who can empathize and love her. “There are plenty of men out there apart from you and Jim.”
