Luna was so shocked to hear this that she could not say a single word.
Never had she thought that… Christopher would like Bonnie in that way Luna had always thought that
Christopher was a man in his forties residing in a 20-year-old man’s body, a sensible, mature person with
no wants or worldly desires.
Not only that but at one point, she and Bonnie had even wondered whether Christopher had dated
anyone before and tried to imagine the kind of woman he liked.
To her surprise, it turned out the woman that Christopher liked was Bonnie Seeing the shocked look on
Luna’s face, Christopher curled his lips into a bitter smile.
“What’s wrong? You don’t think I deserve to be with someone like Bonnie?” With that, he turned to
glance at Bonnie, who was lying on the bed with her eyes shut Even though the expression on her pale
face was calm, her brows were knitted in a frown.
It seemed that even in her dreams, she was not happy.
Christopher let out a bitter chuckle and lifted his head to stare earnestly at Luna.
“In the past, I used to think that I was no match for her, but now, I don’t want to keep my feelings to
myself anymore.” In the past, Christopher used to think that Bonnie was like sunshine, whereas he was
like wet, damp moss.
The two of them were from different worlds, and she was the sunshine that he would never be able to
reach.
In the past, Christopher would agree that a woman like Bonnie had to end up with someone like Jim.
Bonnie was cheerful and dazzling, whereas Jim was powerful and intelligent; they were a match made in
heaven.
However, when he saw Bonnie crawling in the rain helplessly, clutching onto her wound… Christopher
had no way of suppressing his emotions anymore, no way of continuing to convince himself that Jim was
the man who deserved to be with her.
The only way to make the person he loved happy was to keep her by his side so that he could give her
the love she deserved.
He could not place this expectation on someone else anymore.
He could not let another man make her happy anymore, not even Jim, the person he had grown up with!
Seeing the stern look on Christopher’s face, Luna quickly shook her head and replied, “That’s not it,
Christopher.
That wasn’t what I meant at all.
I was just…” She furrowed her brows and glanced at Bonnie.
“I was just surprised, that’s all.
After all…I used to think that you’d never fall in love with another person…” Christopher let out a bitter
chuckle, glanced once more at Bonnie, and said gently, “You’re right.
In the past, I’d never let myself fall for another person, but I’m different now.” He let out an exhale and
glanced first at Luna, then at Joshua.
“She had just fallen asleep, so we’d better g o out so as not to disturb her.” With that, he placed the wet
towel on Bonnie’s forehead, tucked the blanket around her gently, and followed Luna and Joshua
downstairs.
Even after sitting down on the sofa downstairs, Luna still felt her head ring, as though someone had
knocked her from behind.
Joshua sat down next to her and elegantly poured them each a cup of tea.
“What happened just now?” Christopher frowned, picked up the cup, and took a sip of his tea.
“Jim must’ve shoved her.
The pavement is covered in rocks, and when she landed on the ground, one of the sharper rocks cut her
on her belly.
“For some reason, her phone was damaged too, and on top of that, it was raining heavily outside… “The
wound was stained with dust and dirt from outside and soaked by the rainwater.
If her wound doesn’t get cleaned and stitched in time, the consequences would be dire.
“However, since it’s raining outside, and it’s difficult to get help here, I decided to clean it and stitch her u
p myself.” With that, he put down his empty cup and added, “Unfortunately, the only thing missing from
her first aid kit was local anesthesia and painkillers, so…” Luna’s heart leaped into her throat when she
heard this.
“So you stitched her up without giving her anything for the pain?” Christopher nodded.
“Yes.” Luna clutched her cup tightly.
