Jim was momentarily stunned by this sudden turn of events.
Even Sean was rendered speechless by the sight before him, his mouth gaping open in disbelief.
Finally, Jim was the first one to break out of his stupor. He pulled Bonnie into his arms and shot Sean a murderous glare. " What are you waiting for? Get the car and bring her to the hospital!"
Sean paused for a moment, then turned and sprinted out of the yard.
Jim furrowed his brows, picked Bonnie up in his arms, and strode out of the yard as he said in a low voice, "Didn't you just go through an abortion? What were you doing? What gives you the right to interfere in two men's fight? Can't bear to see your precious boyfriend get hurt?"
Bonnie was in so much pain at this point that she closed her eyes but did not reply.
When she heard Jim's voice, she let out a bitter chuckle and said with a helpless tone, "Yes, I can't bear to see my new boyfriend get hurt, just like how you can't bear to see your precious Charlotte get hurt, either. Why do you care, Mr. Landry?"
Soon, Sean brought the car around, and Jim got into the backseat with Bonnie.
Neither of them said a single word on the way to the hospital.
Jim's mind was filled with what Bonnie had said.
I can't bear seeing my new boyfriend get hurt, just like how you can't bear to see your precious Charlotte hurt, either.
'Why do you care?'
Why did he care?
Did he care about her?
Jim asked himself over and over as he closed his eyes.
The answer was clear.
He...cared a lot.
If he had not cared about her, he would have watched in silence as she left with Sean instead of showing himself and provoking Sean like that.
