Chapter 1861
The entire car fell silent for about two seconds.
A split second later, Bonnie let out a somewhat awkward laugh as she stared out the window. “Don’t joke around.”
How could she date another man just to get back at her boyfriend?
She was not someone who could not survive without a man.
As the CEO of Craig Group and the sole heiress to the Craig family fortune, why would she resort to such means to get revenge on Jim?
Even though this was what her true thoughts were, Bonnie still curled her lips into a polite smile and said,” Christopher, I don’t like you that way, so I don’t think it’s fair to start dating you just to get back at Jim for abandoning me.”
Christopher narrowed his eyes and replied in a low voice, “What if I’m willing to let you do that?”
He grabbed Bonnie’s arm and added, “Bonnie, I’m willing to put up an act with you.”
Maybe, just maybe, things would turn out just the way he wanted.
Christopher had grabbed Bonnie’s arm too tightly, and she immediately turned around, a frown on her face as she flung his arm away. “Christopher, I’ve already told you that this isn’t fair for you. I—”
Before she could finish her sentence, the entire car shook and pulled to a halt.
Bonnie and Christopher lifted their heads unanimously, and the cab driver turned to shoot them an apologetic glance. “I’m sorry, Mr. Roberts, but I seem to have crashed into the car in front of me.”
He glanced at the hospital that was a stone’s throw away from where they were at and said, “Thankfully, we’re only less than a kilometer away from the hospital. Why don’t…the two of you get down and walk there?”
Christopher glanced at the front of the car, then at Bonnie sitting next to him. “Can you walk?”
The only thing he was worried about was Bonnie’s injury.
After being out in the rain and stained with dirt, her wound had gotten infected despite his treatment.
Because of this, he guessed that it would be hard for her to walk.
Bonnie smirked and pushed open the door. “Well, it wouldn’t make sense for me to continue staying in the car, would it?”
Besides, they were only a traffic light away from the hospital.
Bonnie got out of the car slowly.
Christopher stared at her pale face and said, “Why don’t I call you another cab?
“Or why don’t you let me carry you?”
Bonnie waved her hands in dismissal and replied, “That’s okay. I can walk.”
Seeing how determined she was, Christopher let out a sigh and had no choice but to help Bonnie as they slowly shuffled toward the hospital.
Truth be told, the wound on Bonnie’s belly hurt tremendously, but she did not feel like hailing a taxi for such a short distance, nor was she willing to get any closer to Christopher physically.
Because of this, she clutched her painful abdomen and shuffled, one step at a time, toward the hospital with his help.

“What are you staring at, Jim?” Inside the Kayenne that was heading in the direction of the hospital, Charlotte had been telling Jim about the checkups they would be doing that day but did not hear his response at all.
She furrowed her brows and suddenly realized that Jim was staring out the window.
A bad feeling surged into her heart, and she immediately glanced in the same direction he was staring in
At the side of the road, Bonnie, dressed in red, was walking slowly toward the hospital, with Christopher helping her along.
She was clutching her abdomen in pain, and her footsteps were slow and strained, but Christopher was patiently guiding her as he chatted with her, smiling.
The two of them looked peaceful and intimate, like a happy couple.
Jim stared at the two of them outside the window with a dark expression. “Mr. Roberts and Ms. Craig are certainly a match made in heaven.”
