Neil's eyes suddenly changed, and his voice turned cold, "In half a year at most, if I'm sure she did it, I won't let her off the hook."
"Half a year? Why half a year?" Is he just trying to buy more time?
Neil closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, the anger in his deep gaze had slowly subsided. He answered, "Bonnie needs some time for treatment now, then we'll decide if she needs surgery. After the second transplant, we'll part ways."
I figured out that the issue was Bonnie's surgery. I had this weird feeling that was spreading uncontrollably.
"Why do you have to wait until her surgery is done?" I asked.
"Because Karina's heart is in her body." Neil finally answered my question.
I was stunned. This answer was totally unexpected. I only knew that Karina was his first love who committed suicide by jumping into a river because he married me. She was dead. And Bonnie, who looks like Karina, became his new true love.
I never thought these two people would share one heart!
"Didn't Karina die from drowning?" I found my voice after a while.
"I also thought she was dead, but she wasn't. She was saved and died a few days later. Her heart was donated, and Bonnie was the recipient." Neil said heavily.
I felt like I suddenly understood about a lot of things, yet at the same time, I found myself even more deeply perplexed.
Apart from looking blankly at Neil, I was momentarily devoid of any other emotions.
So, his true love is still Karina, and Bonnie is only protected and cared for by him because she has Karina's heart?
Does Bonnie know that the heart implanted in her is Karina's? I think she should know.
Oscar told me that Bonnie once said that her heart told her she liked Neil. That's probably why.
In this case, Bonnie knew about Neil earlier than I thought.
In my past life, she knew too, so she could be with Neil, like Cinderella in a fairy tale.
"Does she know about Karina?" I don't know how long I stayed silent before I started talking again.
"She doesn't know, and I don't think Kate told her." Neil answered.
Does Kate also know that Bonnie is the recipient of her sister's heart?
How did she find out?
Neil and Kate both think that Bonnie doesn't know about Karina, but I know she does, and she is fully exploiting this.
The atmosphere turned silent again. Neil took out a cigarette, looked at me, and then put it down.
"Neil, what's your purpose for telling me all this?" I turned to look at him, my mood wasn't as agitated as I thought it would be.
"Give me some time, don't keep avoiding me." His eyes were fixed on me without any intention of evasion.
I laughed, "Is it necessary? Your heart has always belonged to Karina. I don't want to be your backup anymore."
No matter what, I don't want to turn back.
