Chapter 2009
Tim’s other hand was clutching his chest, and he appeared as though he was in excruciating pain.
Bonnie’s entire body stiffened at this sight.
After hesitating for a moment; she let out an exhale, strode over, and helped him up from the ground. Then, she asked with a hint of repulse in her voice, “What’s wrong?”
Jim furrowed his brows and shook his head but did not reply.
Bonnie knew that by shaking his head, he was trying to tell her that he was fine. “Do you expect me to believe you’re fine after what just happened?”
She rolled her eyes at him, helped him off the ground, and took out his phone from his pocket. Then, she dialed the number of the person he had saved on his phone as ‘M’. “Hey, Mickey, are you at Landry Mansion now?
“Jim has gotten injured, and we’re near the drug warehouse in the backyard. Come help us.”
She had come out of the house in such a hurry that she forgot to bring her phone. On top of – that, Sean was responsible for protecting Harvey and Shelly, so she could not possibly ask him
for help.
Therefore, she had no choice but to call Mickey.
After being together with Jim for more than a year, she had naturally gotten to know Mickey quite well.
“Alright. I’ll come over right now.” Mickey was a little surprised to hear Bonnie’s voice, but he agreed without asking further and hung up the phone.
Bonnie was finally relieved to hear this. She turned off Jim’s phone and swiftly tucked it back into his pocket.
Jim furrowed his brows even more when he saw this.
Not only did Bonnie know which pocket he always put his phone in, but she even knew the passcode to unlock his phone without even having to ask him.
Finally, she managed to find the contact named M and even knew that the person on the other end of the line was Mickey.
All this made it almost impossible for Jim not to believe that he and Bonnie had, at one point, been very close.
After all…
Not even Charlotte could accomplish all this.
She had no idea what the alphabets in his contact book meant, nor did she know the passcode to his phone.
“What are you staring at?” Seeing that Jim was looking at her, Bonnie furrowed her brows CNG “[G[} rolled her eyes at him. “I asked Mickey to come because he knows some basic first aid. Besides, he’s been staying here in Landry Mansion all this while, so he’d be able to rush here as soon as possible.”
Finally, she pursed her lips and added, “You’re too heavy; did you expect me to carry you all the way back to the house if not for him?”
As he watched Bonnie trying to explain herself, a surge of warmth spread through Jim’s heart.
He removed his hand from his chest and reached out to gently tuck Bonnie’s hair behind her ear. Then, with a hint of adoration in his voice, he said, “I just think you look extra cute like this.”
Bonnie felt her chest tighten. She widened her eyes and stared at him in shock, as though he had turned into a monster. “What are you trying to do?”
If Jim had said this to her in the past, she would have been delighted, but at this moment…
She could only feel fear and terror.
This man must have been trying to tease and humiliate her again.
Jim was a little unsettled by her gaze and quickly regained his rationality. He turned away so as not to meet her gaze. “Well, you can pretend like you’ve never heard me.”
Bonnie rolled her eyes at him but did not reply. Instead, she shuffled in the direction of Landry Mansion, dragging Jim behind her slowly.
Not long later, the two of them bumped into Mickey, who had sprinted in their direction.
Mickey was frozen in shock when he saw them together. “Did you…get back together?” Jim narrowed his eyes upon hearing this. “Yes, we have.
