Chapter 1895
Luna was a little dazed as soon as she came out of Joshua’s room.
She brought the empty plate and cutlery into the kitchen and placed them in the sink. As she did this, she could not help recalling what Joshua had said to her when she was upstairs.
“Gwen will die as soon as she leaves Luke.’
Why?
This question echoed in Luna’s mind as she turned on the tap to wash the dishes.
Why would Gwen die if she left Luke?
Was it because Luke would send someone to kill her as soon as she left Merchant City?
Even though this was not entirely impossible… Luna still thought that Luke would not be so cruel as to kill Gwen, no matter how merciless he might seem.
“Luna.”
A voice rang out from the kitchen door, one that pulled Luna back to reality.
She turned around.
A pale-faced Bonnie was leaning against the glass door, a dim expression in her eyes. “Do I… D o I look terrible now?”
She stared at Luna with a hint of nervousness in her eyes. “There are only two hours until we depart for Landry Mansion, but just now, Theo told me that I look as pale as a ghost and that I shouldn’t go see Jim now.
“I…I’m a little nervous about this.”
As she said this, tears brimmed in Bonnie’s eyes. “Will Jim think I’m ugly if I go looking like
this?”
Luna bit her lip and felt as though something had pricked her heart when she saw how remorseful Bonnie looked. “He won’t.”
She shook her head, then quickly finished washing the dishes and grabbed a towel to wipe her hands. “The reason Jim doesn’t like you anymore is that he lost his memories, and if this had been the past, he’d love you no matter how you look.
“It’s just that…”
Luna chewed on her lip and grabbed hold of Bonnie’s hands. “Theo is right: you shouldn’t go see Jim in your current state, not because he’ll think you’re busy, but because…you have to get some rest.

“Jim will always be in Merchant City, and he’s not leaving anytime soon. Besides, with me here, Charlotte won’t be able to do anything drastic to him.
“Therefore, you should get some rest and visit him only after you get better, okay?”
Luna could tell that Bonnie desperately wanted to keep this child.
She was worried that if Bonnie went with her to find Jim and told him the truth about this baby …he would refuse to take responsibility for it.
After all, not only had Jim lost his memories but he was even under Charlotte’s control.
He was even willing to abandon his sister, so it was hard to say if he would not do the same to his and Bonnie’s child.
After all, this baby was only a month old, and this was the most precarious time in a baby’s development.
Luna was worried that if Bonnie went with her to see Jim and found out that Jim would not keep this baby…she would be devastated, which would affect the baby’s health.
It would be difficult for Bonnie to recover if that happened, much less nurture a healthy baby inside her.
Bonnie bit her lip, fell silent for a long time, then finally shook her head. “No, I want to go.”
She had to see Jim.
She had just seen him that morning at the hospital, but for some reason, as soon as she found out she was pregnant, she could not get the thoughts of seeing Jim out of her head. It was as though her mind had been possessed.
Even Bonnie herself was unsure what this would achieve, but it was as though…
It was as though seeing Jim would give her the reassurance she needed to go through with the pregnancy and safely deliver the child.
Every time she thought of missing out on a chance to see Jim, Bonnie would feel as though a million ants were gnawing on her heart. “I want to see Jim, no matter what.”
