Chapter 2291
“Bonnie requested that I come save her because Jim was forcing her to marry him, adding that it’d be too late if I
didn’t come soon. She even attached headlines of Merchant City’s newspapers for me to see, reports all about
Bonnie and Jim getting married.”
Christopher shut his eyes, and his voice turned gruff as he continued, “She also said that she would’ve married Jim
had she wanted to, that the only reason stopping her was that she was unwilling. Now, Jim wants to take advantage
of her when she’s sick.”

In the end, Aunt Rosalyn didn’t want me to come back because she didn’t want me to know Jim and Bonnie are
getting married. She knew that I’m in love with Bonnie, too.
“If she had told me Jim and Bonnie are getting married, I would’ve given them my blessing, but why did she have to
hide it from me? Why did she want me to stay in Lincoln City?”
Christopher was visibly heartbroken and depressed.
Luna bit her lip and held her hands tightly together. “That’s not what my mom thinks.”
“What’s the reason, then?” Christopher glared at Luna with bloodshot eyes. “Isn’t it true that Bonnie got drugged
and is in a coma now? Isn’t it real that she only has six days left to live? It’s all the truth! When Aunt Rosalyn
promised me that Bonnie is fine and she’ll cure Bonnie, it’s all because Jim is her son, and I’m just her nephew, isn’t
it?”
Luna was out of words. Her mouth hung open when she looked at how crazy Christopher was.
She wanted to tell him Bonnie was not drugged, but Joshua stopped her.
Joshua looked at Luna and shook his head before he turned to look at Christopher. “I know there’s hatred in your
heart, but it’s too complicated to explain things to you now. Give me some time, and I’ll explain everything to you
once I get to the bottom of this.”
With that, Joshua grabbed Luna’s hand and left the ward.
As they walked away, she turned to look at Christopher again. He sat on the floor with his back against the wall,

he believed to be Bonnie.
“Why did you stop me from telling him the truth?” When they were outside, Luna flung away Joshua’s hand angrily,
her eyebrows knitted together tightly. “Christopher had misunderstood my mother, and as her daughter, I have the
obligation to explain this to him!”
Joshua smiled helplessly as he looked at how angry Luna was. He pulled her into his arms and gave her a light peck
on the forehead. “I know you can’t stand knowing Christopher had a misunderstanding with your mother, but let’s
keep it a secret from Christopher for now.”
Luna was less angry because of Joshua’s gentleness. Nonetheless, her eyebrows furrowed as she looked at his face.
“Why?”
“Because …” Joshua looked out the window and squinted.” Since someone had used Bonnie’s name to contact
Christopher once, maybe he or she will do it again. If Christopher knows the truth, the perpetrator will also know it.”
