Chapter 1922
However, Bonnie did not know how else she could let Jim understand her sorrow, much less make him remember his memories of their past year together.
She was confused and utterly helpless.
The man she loved no longer recognized her, and instead, his mind was filled with false delusions of another woman and even went so far as to hurt her with his cruel words.
No ordinary woman would be able to take this in stride.
Bonnie was no different. She was just a regular girl, after all…
Seeing that Jim was about to leave, Bonnie let out an exhale and summoned the last ounce of her strength to chase after him. Then, ignoring the excruciating pain of her abdomen and broken finger, she hugged Jim from behind and asked, “Have you read the note I gave you this morning?”
She was using all the strength she could summon to wrap her arms around his slender waist.” I’ve already told you. As long as you investigate the dates I’ve written for you, you’ll be able to find out whether we’ve been together in the past!”
Jim furrowed his brows and recalled the note that he had found in his coat pocket.
He had already sent his assistant to investigate the dates and venues written on the note, but truth be told, a lot had changed in a year.
Most of the hotel employees had already been switched out, and his assistant needed more time to get to the bottom of this.
However…
Jim’s expression relaxed when he recalled what he had found on the other side of the paper.
He turned around and glanced at Bonnie with a newfound gentle expression on his face. “Can you show me the wound on your belly?”
Bonnie’s entire body stiffened for a second.
A split second later, she lowered her head and gingerly lifted the edge of her shirt.
The sight of the tightly bandaged wound on her abdomen stung Jim’s eyes.
He could not help remembering that she had sustained this injury after falling while trying to chase him in the rain.
This meant that…
He was partly responsible for her getting hurt.
At that time, Jim could already tell that Bonnie was having trouble getting up from the ground after she had fallen, but for some reason, he thought that she was just exhausted. Therefore, h e did not even try to help her, nor had he even thought of the possibility that she might have gotten injured so badly.
If he remembered correctly, there were no hospitals within Tea Cottage’s vicinity, and that meant that it was partly his fault that her wound had gotten infected. He had failed to help her when she needed it the most.
A hint of guilt crept across Jim’s eyes as he said, “I’m sorry. I didn’t know you had gotten hurt that day, and if I had, I would’ve at least helped you call an ambulance. Also…”
He let out a sigh and added, “I want to apologize for accusing you of being pregnant and calling you names this morning. I saw you clutching your belly like that and assumed you were pregnant without even asking you, and even said such mean things to you. I’m truly sorry.”
Bonnie bit her lip when she heard this. Tears started to slide down her face uncontrollably when she saw the guilty look on Jim’s face.
She shook her head and replied, “I don’t blame you. I…I’m fine now.”
Jim sighed again and said, “I’m glad to hear that. If you need any help, I can-”
“I need your help now.” Bonnie let out an exhale, put down her shirt to cover her belly, and lifted her head to stare straight into Jim’s eyes. “My child needs a father; it needs its birth father.”
Jim furrowed his brows in confusion, unable to understand what she was trying to say. “I’m pregnant.” Bonnie let out another sigh. “And it’s yours.”
