"Miss, please leave yourself some respect."
Jim was right; she had placed him above herself and poured so much into the relationship that she had ended up getting hurt.
Not only had she gotten hurt emotionally, but she even had to go through this excruciating physical pain.
The wound on her abdomen was starting to hurt more and more, so much so that she was starting to grow dazed.
Christopher was talking to her as he cleaned her wound, but she could not hear any of it at all.
The only thing she could hear was, "If it hurts, remember that Jim was the one who inflicted this on you.”
Bonnie closed her eyes and repeated these words in her mind as tears slid down her cheeks.
Christopher was right.
Jim was the one who inflicted this pain on her.
She would remember this for the rest of her life!
By the time Christopher stitched Bonnie u p, she had already passed out from the pain.
He let out a sigh, gently picked her up, and brought her upstairs into her room.
He gently tucked the blanket around her and wiped her wet face and hair with a towel as he muttered, "I was too late." As soon as he received the message from Bonnie saying that she was headed to Merchant City, he had booked his flight as well.
Even though Bonnie was unaware of what Jim had done in Merchant City, Christopher knew of it.
Therefore, as soon as he found out that Bonnie would surprise Jim at Tea Cottage, Christopher rushed in as soon as he got off the plane, but he was still too late.
All of a sudden, a car screeched to a halt outside the house.
A split second later, the front door was pushed open, and two sets of footsteps echoed from downstairs.
Christopher furrowed his brows but did not go downstairs to check. Instead, he continued drying Bonnie's hair in silence.
He did not care who had shown up nor their intentions for coming to Tea Cottage.
The only thing that mattered was Bonnie.
