Christopher's entire body stiffened when he heard Bonnie's response.
He stared at Bonnie dazedly, his eyes etched with sheer disbelief. "Haven't you always wanted Jim to remember you? You...
"I changed my mind." Bonnie curled her lips into a smirk. "It doesn't matter whether he remembers me or not; it won't change our outcome anymore. You don't have to waste your time and effort anymore.”
Then, she let out a sigh and continued, "I accept your apology, Christopher. Since you haven't fully recovered from your episode yet, you should focus more on getting your rest instead of worrying about
Jim and me.
"When... When your condition is stable, I'll send June back to your side. After all, you're her father and legal guardian, so I shouldn't keep her by my side for too long."
Besides, the baby in her belly would be born eventually, and not only would she return June to Christopher, but she would also try to track down Shelly's birth parents.
Bonnie did not think she was capable of taking care of four children at the same time.
Christopher fell silent upon hearing this.
A split second later, he nodded and replied, "Alright. Thank you for helping me take care of June all this while."
Bonnie was right. His condition was not entirely stable yet, and previously, he had hurt Bonnie during his psychotic episode.
He was worried that if he were to lose control of himself again, he would hurt June, too.
"No need to thank me. Get well soon."
With that, she circled past him and strode into the house.
Jim let out an exhale :f"
