"I just want to bring her back to Swan Lake Chalet where I can take good care of her."
The first thing Bonnie heard when she opened the door was Christopher's voice, laced with displeasure. "Have you forgotten, Mr. Lynch, that you had spent a period at Swan Lake Chalet in the past, nursing your wound? You know fully well how serene and peaceful Swan Lake Chalet is; perfect for a pregnant woman.
"There's no harm in me bringing Bonnie there where I can take care of her, so why are you so against this?"
There was no hint of emotion in Joshua's low, cold voice when he replied, "I know that Swan Lake Chalet is a great place, and I'm not against her staying there." With that, he lifted his head to stare icily at Christopher. "I just don't trust you taking care of her."
Christopher's expression darkened upon hearing this.
Next to him, Jim furrowed his brows and tried to stand up for his friend. "You don't trust Christopher? He's the only son of my mother's classmate, and he was born into a line of skilled doctors, which makes him the most professional and compassionate doctor I know. If you don't trust him, then there's probably no one else in this world you can trust! "
With that, Jim could not help scoffing as he added, "Besides, he's the father of the baby: n Bonnie's womb, so of course he'll do everything in his power to keep the baby safe, so why are you still so worried?" Both Joshua and Bonnie, who was still lurking in a corner of the room, froze when they heard this.
Joshua fixated his sharp gaze on Christopher's face. "You say the baby belongs to you?"
Christopher turned his head away, a little nervous to meet Joshua’s gaze. "Of course. Bonnie and I were together for so long...and it makes perfect sense that she’d get pregnant with my baby."
Joshua narrowed his eyes slightly. "When did you even start dating her?"
Christopher let out a small cough. "A long... A long time ago. I used to spend the night a t her place all the time; you can look into this if you don't believe me."
Bonnie felt as though her blood had run cold.
