The doctor lifted his head to glance at Bonnie.
“You should get a friend to go with you.” Bonnie nodded and was about to say something when her
phone, which was charging next to her bed, rang.
She quickly picked up the call.
“Luna?” “What’s wrong, Bonnie?” Luna’s voice was riddled with concern.
“Joshua, Nigel, and I were on a video call with Nellie and Nigel in the bedroom, and we both left our
phones in the study.
We were so engrossed in our call that none of us heard you call.
Is…something wrong?” Bonnie rubbed her brows in frustration. She should have known. The fact that
neither Joshua nor Luna could be reached meant that they were probably doing something together, but
she never thought of the possibility of them being on a family video call together.
“It’s settled now.” Bonnie sighed.
“Nothing much, just that I almost died, that’s all.” Luna let out a gasp, then asked, “What happened? Did
my brother do something bad to you? When you told me about how nervous you were to meet my
parents, I had specifically warned them to be nice to you… Did my brother get on your nerves again?”
Bonnie rubbed her brows in exhaustion when she heard Luna’s worried tone.
“I guess you can say so, but now’s not the time to talk about this…” She let out a sigh.
“Are you free now, Luna? I want you to take me somewhere.” Luna nodded.
“Of course I am, but…” She paused for a moment before finally saying, “Didn’t you just say you almost
died, Bonnie? If so, where are you headed now? Are you asking me to bring you to Jim so you can get
revenge on him?” “I have much better things to take care of than that.” Bonnie sighed and explained
what had happened, including what she had overheard of Sean and Nikki’s conversation, to Luna.
“If anything were to happen to Nikki, it’ll be my fault. “If Sean hadn’t come to save me, he wouldn’t have
left Nikki alone… “I need to know she’s fine.” Luna nodded.
“Alright.
I’ll go pick you up from the hospital right now!” Sean had sped home as fast as his car could take him,
and he sprinted into the house as soon as the car screeched to a halt.
“Nikki!” At this moment, the entire house was silent. When Sean stormed inside, a haggard-looking Nikki
was standing on top of a chair, holding a piece of rope that had been looped over a roof beam. She let
out a bitter chuckle when she saw Sean.
“I’ve told you not to return.
You should be spending this time with your precious Ms.
Craig instead.
“I told you to return tomorrow to get rid of my body; you came home one day too early!” with that, she
placed her chin onto the loop of rope and kicked the chair out from beneath her. As soon as he saw this,
Sean stormed toward her like a madman.
“Nikki, don’t do it!” He grabbed hold of her body and screamed, “I can’t live without you, Nikki!”
