With that, Harvey plopped down in a nearby chair and raised his leg, offering it to Jim. "Come on. Even though I'll be disabled in the future, I can’t escape my fate since I used this leg to hurt the woman you love the most.
"So what if your son is going to be a cripple? What's most important is the woman in your arms!"
Jim narrowed his eyes when he saw how audacious his son was behaving. He could hardly believe that this stubborn, mischievous boy was his offspring.
This boy had not inherited a single hint of his calmness and maturity at all!
"Come on now," Harvey piped up, seeing that Jim did not say anything. "Are you hesitating, Mr. Jim? What's there to even hesitate about? Doesn't this woman matter the most to you?"
He exhaled, shifted into a more comfortable position in his chair, and fixated his cold, determined gaze on Jim's face. "I know you lost your memories, so now, let me tell you how close we used to be in the past.
"If you don't believe me, you can go check your email. During the time I lived with Shelly and Bonnie in Banyan City, apart from calling her every day, you'd also send me an email daily, and I'd write one in return.
"The two of us had kept this up for a long time, but a few weeks ago, you stopped emailing me, so I asked Bonnie if anything had happened to you. She told me that maybe you had been so busy planning a surprise for her trip to Merchant City that you forgot to email me.
"When she finally went to Merchant City, I'd talk to her every day, and she'd always tell me that you and she were doing fine and that you were having such a good time that you forgot to contact me."
As soon as he thought of this, Harvey let out a small sigh and said, "I was a little dubious of Bonnie's words, but I still chose to believe her.
"However, it was only today that I found out everything. Nigel saw that I was still
oblivious and finally told me the truth: you had lost your memories, and none of this had anything to do with Bonnie at all."
He shot Bonnie a pitiful glance, then sighed and continued, "I was the one who chose to come here as soon as we got off the plane instead of returning home with you.
