Chapter 2052 Theo furrowed his brows and quickly declined the call when he heard Jim asking about Roanne. “I…haven’t been in touch with her at all. You must be mistaken.”
With that, he let out an exhale and circled past Jim. “Well, I need to get back soon, so I’ll be off
now.”
How could Jim let Theo go just like that?
Roanne had kidnapped Shelly and demanded Charlotte meet her the next day.
At this very minute, he bumped into Theo, who was carrying a bottle of children’s medicine and who had received a call from Roanne. There was no way Jim would not grow suspicious of him, and he could not let him leave so easily.
“Theo.” Jim narrowed his eyes and said sternly, his gaze fixed on Theo’s face, “Are you in on this with Roanne? Is the medicine for Shelly? Has Shelly fallen sick?”
Theo did not know how to answer these questions, but the longer he stayed silent, the more confident Jim grew in his suspicion that Theo was working together with Roanne.
He lunged forward and grabbed hold of Theo’s collar. “Tell me! Where the hell is Shelly?!
“You’re Luna’s friend, and Joshua had been so kind as to offer you a place to stay, so how could you have done this? Shelly is my daughter and Luna and Joshua’s niece!
“Have you forgotten that I’m Luna’s half-brother and Joshua’s cousin?”
Theo was frozen in shock by how aggressive Jim sounded.
A split second later, he furrowed his brows and asked, “So? What does this have to do with me?
He had only come to the hospital to buy some medicine for June, who had fallen sick but refused to take the medication that Dr. Suess prescribed for her.
Where did Jim get the idea that he was involved in kidnapping his daughter with Roanne?
What an imagination.
As soon as he thought of this, Theo sneered and glanced coldly at Jim. “Judging from your attitude toward Luna and Joshua, I would’ve thought that you’ve forgotten about your relationship with them after losing your memories, Mr. Landry.
“I didn’t know you remembered them.”
With that, he flung Jim’s arm away and said, his lips curled in a disdainful smirk, “I’ve never met anyone who would’ve given up his wife, children, and family for a woman he had never even given a second glance in the past, just because he lost his memories.”
Theo’s words struck a nerve within Jim, and he narrowed his eyes in response.
Wife and children?
He was not even married, so what did Theo mean by ‘wife’?
Besides, he had never given up on his children at all!
“Are you trying to say that I’m wrong?” Theo sneered as though he could see through Jim’s thoughts. “Well, the truth is, you proposed to Bonnie before you lost your memories, and you never even gave your son and daughter so much as a glance before they flew back. Also—”
He snickered and added, “The child that Bonnie aborted belonged to you as well, and you were the reason that Bonnie had gone through the abortion in the first place, so how can you deny
that?”
“I dare you to say that one more time!” Jim snapped through gritted teeth, staring daggers at Theo.
The look on his face was so malicious that it was as though he would eat Theo alive!
Theo, on the other hand, did not appear to be scared at all.
Even though he was not a match against Jim in terms of strength, he did not want to back down. “No matter how many times I say it, it’s still the truth.”
With that, he turned and strode back toward his car. “I can’t be bothered to deal with people like you.”
Jim remained motionless and glared at Theo as he walked off. However, Theo’s words echoed in his mind.
