Chapter 2055
“I’ll do as you say.”
“I’ll drive you guys.” Theo, who had initially wanted to leave, immediately got into the car.” Bonnie and I will return
to Joshua’s house as soon as we drop you off at your place, Sean.”
Sean glanced at Theo and nodded. “Thank you.”
The three of them got into the car.
Sean’s house was located in a secluded part of town, so far away from the city that Bonnie could not help thinking
that this place would be a perfect spot to film a horror film.
The night was silent apart from the faint chirping of birds and rustling of leaves. Finally, with Sean’s directions, they
arrived at his house, and Theo parked the car.

in disgust.
Bonnie immediately pinched her nose. “How can you live in a place like this, Sean?”
Besides, did Sean not say that his sister was ill? If so, how was she supposed to get better when she lived in a place
like this?
Sean scratched his head awkwardly and replied, “I know the environment isn’t the best…but the rent is cheap
here.”
Then, he let out an exhale and added, “Don’t worry; I treat my sister better than this!”
With that, he got out of the car and led Bonnie and Theo into the small house that he and his
sister, Nikki, lived in.
Even though the air outside was filled with the stench of mold and rot, the house was surprisingly cozy.
A young girl was sitting in a lawn chair in the garden, dressed in her pajamas as her eyes were fixed on the gate.
When she saw the gate open, she leaped up and exclaimed in delight, “Sean! You’re home!”
Sean ran toward her. “I’m back, Nikki.”
“What took you so long?” She sprinted toward him and hugged him, then said in a concerned tone, “I was
convinced you wouldn’t come home tonight.”
“Why wouldn’t I?” Sean pinched her nose playfully and asked, “How are you feeling today?”
“Much better.” The girl lifted her head and suddenly caught sight of the bruises on his face.” What happened to
you?”
When he saw the worried look on her face, Sean smiled and told her the lie he and Bonnie had come up with
Bonnie immediately played along and thanked Sean as she handed the money to Nikki. “This is the reward for your
brother for saving me.

to you.”
Nikki took the money from her and, despite feeling a little uneasy, did not say anything in response.
Instead, she sighed and pointed at the house behind her. “Come in.”
Bonnie nodded and followed her, all the while curious to see the environment that this sick girl lived in.
If the house was in poor condition, she wanted to offer Sean help so he could relocate his sister to someplace
better.
However, to her surprise…
The first thing she saw when she entered the house was a woman’s photo hanging on the wall.
Bonnie had seen this woman countless times before.
It was… It was Lucy, Jim’s birth mother.
