Jim lowered his head, and the only thing he saw was Bonnie’s beautiful face, tilted to one side so he would not see her tears.
She was extremely thin, so much so that her jawline looked as though it had been carved with a pencil, so sharp that she did not need any highlighter or bronzer to accentuate it.
Her tear streaks glimmered in the bright light.
Jim let out a sigh, but no matter how reluctant he was to do so, he still reached his hand out.
When his warm palm laid on her abdomen, Bonnie's entire body stiffened as though she had been struck by lightning.
Her entire body was frozen in shock, but Jim's warm hand gently caressed her abdomen as he muttered, "It'll be fine, B. You'll be fine..."
Even though his tone was unnaturally stiff, without a single hint of tenderness within them, Bonnie still felt her heart soften at the sound.
She closed her eyes and tried to stop her tears from falling.
The car arrived at the hospital with the two of them in this somewhat awkward position.
After parking the car, Sean got out of the driver’s seat and summoned a few doctors and nurses.
Jim, on the other hand, got out of the car with Bonnie in his arms.
As he opened the door, he asked in a low voice, "Does it still hurt?"
Bonnie sniffed and shook her head. "Not anymore."
With that, she removed herself from Jim’s grasp and, with Sean’s help, dragged herself onto the stretcher.
Jim naturally followed her into the emergency room. However, he had just taken a few steps when Bonnie turned and smiled at him. "You can go home now, Mr. Landry. My boyfriend will be here to take care of me."
The two men froze when they heard this.
Sean never thought that Bonnie would continue to play along and claim that he was her boyfriend.
Jim, on the other hand, froze in his steps when he heard those two words.
The doctors continued to wheel Bonnie into the hospital.
What right did he have to follow her
