Charlotte narrowed her eyes and quickly grabbed Jim's hand. "Don't you agree, Jim? "
Jim finally snapped out of his daze and shifted his gaze away from Bonnie and Christopher. "I'm happy that Christopher finally met someone he likes, but I don't think , this woman is right for him."
He and Christopher had grown up together.
When he first met Number-9 at the orphanage, Christopher was immersed in his research of alternative medicine.
After he had grown up and brought Number -9 home from the orphanage, Christopher was still immersed in his research of alternative medicine.
Six years ago, when Charlotte was tricked b y Heather and was forced to leave Merchant City, Christopher was still engrossed in his research.
All of a sudden, the young Christopher, who had been absorbed in his love for medicine for all these years, had finally fallen in love with a woman.
Jim should have been happy for him.
However, his first impression of Bonnie was their encounter a day before, when she had tricked him into coming to Tea Cottage and pestered him, intending to trick him into thinking she was his girlfriend.
Charlotte swiveled her eyes and leaned her head on Jim's shoulder. "Why do you think so? I think that Bonnie is perfect for him. Besides...”
She pointed at the two people outside the window and added, "Look at her. She keeps on clutching her abdomen like that...
"Do you think she might be pregnant?"
Jim furrowed his brows.
From the moment he caught sight of them, he had already noticed Bonnie's hand on her abdomen, whereas Christopher was holding onto her carefully.
He had thought she had gotten hurt, but...
When he saw her the day before, she had been perfectly fine. Not only was she able t o hug him, but she had even chased after him, pretending to be in love with him.
However, just a day had passed, and she was clutching her belly and looked weak and sickly.
