Chapter 2253 Rosalyn sighed and clutched Charles’ hand in comfort as they slowly left. Inside the room, Jim held
Bonnie’s hand. As he watched Charles and Rosalyn leaving through the window, he finally could not stop himself
from sighing. He squeezed Bonnie’s cold hand and said, “Bonnie, they’ve already agreed for us to get married…
“I know that if you woke up right now, you’d still reject me because you don’t think I mean it, that I’m just marrying
you because of Harvey or just to mock you. The truth is…” He lowered his body and placed Bonnie’s palm against
his face. “I haven’t been telling the truth.”
He closed his eyes, and a tear slid down his cheek. When did he fall for Bonnie?
It was probably from the first time he laid eyes on her. The first time he saw her was not at Tea Cottage but when

Inside that picture, Bonnie was standing underneath a maple tree, dressed in red. Even with her back facing the
camera, she still looked carefree and alluring.
This photo reminded Jim of the little girl he had met at the orphanage, Number-9, and made him reminisce about
the old feelings buried deep within his heart.
He was with Charlotte at that time, and he had always thought Charlotte was Number-9. However, no matter how
many times he tried to compare Charlotte to the photo on his computer screen, he could not convince himself that
it was a match. Jim did not know what he had experienced before losing his memories, but he knew that at one
point, he must have loved this woman. Even though he had lost his memories, Jim believed that deep down, his
core personality had not changed Jim preferred to keep his desktop free of clutter and only kept items that were
truly important to him. It was clear that by the location of the photo on his computer desktop, he had placed it
there deliberately and would constantly look at it in the past. Ever since then, Jim could not help feeling curious
about this woman dressed in red until one day Bonnie asked him to meet her at Tea Cottage. On the day they met,
she was not wearing red clothes, but for some reason, Jim recognized her as the woman in the photo almost
instantaneously.
Nonetheless, his dignity prevented him from asking Bonnie about the photo directly.
Every word that came out of Bonnie’s mouth GUPdMCDT every tear that slid down her cheek pained him terribly,
but at that time, he was still with Charlotte.
He kept insulting Bonnie in hopes that she would give up on him, but at the same time, he could not help blaming

However, his impulsivity had landed Bonnie in this situation. This was probably God’s way of punishing him, was it
not? God was punishing him for ignoring and hurting a woman who loved him with all her heart. However, if this
was meant to be a punishment, why was he not the one lying on the bed, unconscious? Why was he not the one
poisoned?
Bonnie was innocent… Jim closed his eyes as he wrapped his arms around Bonnie’s body. If only he could turn back
time, he would rather he be the one who got into the car crash, not her. “Mr. Jim,” a young boy’s voice rang out
from the door. Jim immediately lifted his head and came face-to-face with Harvey, standing by the door, his little
face bright red and panting as he held onto the doorway. “Mommy… Did she really miscarry her child? Is it true that
she only has a week left to live?” Jim’s expression darkened upon hearing this. “Who told you this?” The only people
who knew this were his parents, the doctors at the hospital, and Christopher. “June told me.” Tears brimmed in
Harvey’s eyes as he wailed, “Is this true? Answer me!”
