“‘The man who raped your sister is named Terry Simmons, right?” Luke, who had been standing behind Gwen in silence, asked suddenly.

Sean paused for a moment, then nodded. “Yes, his name is Terry Simmons. He’s a man I worked with when I was still at the factory…”

“I’ve already caught him.” Luke shot him an impassive glance and continued in a calm tone, as though he was discussing what to eat for dinner, “What do you plan to do to him? Do you want me to cut off his leg or arm? Or…perhaps dispose of the thing he used to sexually assault your sister with?”

He curled his lips into a smirk and added, “You don’t even have to do this yourself; my men will help you take care of it.”

Sean’s entire body stiffened when he heard this.

He stared at Luke dazedly, his face debossed with disbelief. He had never seen this man before, nor did he know who this person was, but from the way he looked and the things he had…

It sent chills down his spine.

He was suggesting cutting off Terry’s leg or arm and even…dispose of his reproductive organ… Even though this malicious thought had crossed Sean’s mind before, it was only out of anger, and he would never have done it.

Sean knew that he was not capable of doing this at all, and even if he had, he would have to take responsibility for his actions.

Would he be able to escape?

Even if he could, who would take care of Nikki?

However…the man standing before him was telling him so nonchalantly that he could help him achieve this without even needing his participation. Luke curled his lips into a smile when he saw the shocked look on Sean’s face. “You’re a naïve little child.”

It was clear Sean had no idea who Luke was.

However, in Merchant City, anyone who had even the slightest connection to any of the gangsters in the city would know who Luke was.

Therefore, it was clear that Sean had never been anywhere near these sorts of people.

As soon as he thought of this, Luke chuckled and added, “Since you don’t really know what’s going on, I’ll make the decision for you. “I’ve decided to take away what’s most important to him so that he can’t hurt any more girls.” Then, he turned around and strode out of the lobby to make a call. Sean stared , gaping, at the man who was on the phone outside the hospital, his entire body

frozen in shock.

A split second later, he turned to stare at Bonnie. “Your… Your friend? What does he do for a living?”

“He’s a gangster,” Gwen answered before Bonnie could even open her mouth. “He’s my boyfriend and the head honcho of all the gangs in Merchant City. “He meant what he said earlier, and he’s indeed capable of making this happen, but don’t feel pressured, please. “The reason he’s helping you is that Bonnie is partly responsible for what happened to your sister, and since Bonnie’s my friend, there’s no way I’d sit idly and let this happen.” Then, she gave Sean a once-over and could not help feeling even more astounded at the second glance. “Is this your new boyfriend? A replacement for Jim?”

Pursuing My Ex-Wife Isn’t Easy chapter 2122 by desirenovel

“He’s not.”

“I’m not.”

Sean and Bonnie’s voices rang out unanimously as soon as Gwen finished her sentence.

As soon as they said this, both of them paused as though they both had things to say.

Finally, Bonnie shot Sean a glance, indicating him to go ahead. She thought that Sean would deny being her boyfriend but to her surprise…

He wrapped her arms around her shoulder and declared, “Yes, I’m her boyfriend now, but I’m not a replacement for Jim.

“Even though he and I look alike, we have no relations whatsoever, and I don’t want anything to do with him.

“That scumbag should stay as far away from Bonnie as possible. Also—”. He shot Gwen a dark look and continued, “I hope that you won’t bring up his name in front of Bonnie ever again. He does not deserve her, not even a bit.”

Both Gwen and Bonnie froze when they heard this.

Gwen was shocked by Sean’s announcement, but Bonnie, on the other hand, was surprised that Sean had willingly admitted that he was her boyfriend…and even made this clearly protective announcement that only a boyfriend would.

There was a hint of bafflement in Bonnie’s eyes as she stared at him.

She could not help wondering if it was her fault that Sean had such a bad impression of Jim.

If they were to find out in the future that they shared the same mother and were technically half-brothers, Bonnie could not imagine how awkward this scenario would be.

“Ahem,” Gwen let out a slight cough at the sight of Bonnie’s stupor and Şean’s possessive gaze. “I guess…it’s good that you found such a new, handsome gentleman as your boyfriend.” This boy looked not a day over 20, and clearly, he and Bonnie were about six or seven years apart. Despite this, Gwen still could not help feeling envious of how possessive and protective this boy was over Bonnie. “If only I…” “If only what? If only you had a boyfriend like this too?” Luke’s cold voice rang out from behind her before she could even finish her sentence,

Gwen’s entire body stiffened, then, a split second later, she turned around and smiled at Luke, who had returned from his phone call. “That’s right. Mr. Jones, do you mind making yourself younger so I can experience dating a fresh, young man?” Luke pulled Gwen into his arms forcefully and replied curtly, “That’s impossible.”

“Well, so be it.” Gwen shrugged and feigned nonchalance. “Since you don’t want to, there’s no changing your mind. You’re not willing to break up with me so I can date other people…”

“If you dare to date other people…” Luke snickered and said in an emotionless but dominating tone, “You saw what happened to Terry Simmons.” At the mention of Terry Simmons, Sean lifted his head to stare at Luke. “Terry…”

“It’s done.” Luke turned to shoot him an impassive glance. “He’s now receiving medical treatment in a small clinic, and feel free to lodge a police report if you want, but my suggestion is for you to wait a few days, at least until his wound heals a little more.

“Otherwise, if we were to send him into jail right now, he might not be able to survive until the hearing and won’t be able to receive the punishment he deserves.”

Sean could not help shuddering when he heard this.

He thought the reason Luke had spared Terry’s life was that his crime did not warrant such a heavy punishment.

Pursuing My Ex-Wife Isn’t Easy chapter 2123 by desirenovel

However, Sean never thought that… Luke had spared him simply because he wanted Terry to live to hear his verdict. Luke was right: the best punishment for him would be to send him to jail, where he would suffer for the rest of his life, compared to a bloody but quick death. As soon as he thought of this, the hostility in Sean’s eyes was replaced with admiration toward Luke.

“Don’t look at me like this. I was just helping out.” Luke curled his lips into a smirk when he felt Sean’s gaze on him, then lowered his head to glance at Gwen. “Do you still want to stay here?”

Gwen furrowed her brows in thought, then turned to glance at Bonnie and Sean.

“Nevermind,” she replied, staring at Bonnie. “Bonnie, Luna told me on the phone that you had just come out of surgery and that you almost died because you were locked inside a car… “Who on earth tried to do this to you? Do you need Luke to help you get revenge?” Bonnie could not help letting out a bitter chuckle when she heard this. “There’s no need. It was

… Jim.”

Gwen rolled her eyes in indignation upon hearing this. “That bastard! I can’t believe he’d do this to you after you left everything in Banyan City behind to find him! “If it weren’t for the fact that he’s suffering from memory loss, I would’ve told Luke to punish him already!” Bonnie smiled at her. “It’s okay. He just doesn’t remember me, that’s all…” Perhaps to Jim, she was nothing more than a cunning, manipulative woman who was after him for his money. Well, it did not matter anyway.

“You’re such a softie, Bonnie.” Gwen let out a sigh. Then, after chatting with Bonnie for a short while, she and Luke turned and left.

However, the two of them had just taken a few steps when Luke froze, then glanced at Sean.” My offer still stands. If you need any help punishing Terry Simmons for what he did to your sister, you can always come to me.

“Bonnie knows how to get in touch with me.” Then, he turned and strode away, one arm slung across Gwen’s shoulder protectively. Sean pursed his lips and clenched his fists by his side as he watched Luke leave.

For some reason…he could not help but respect Luke.

Not only was Luke capable of protecting the people around him, but he had the power to help others in their need, too. Sean, on the other hand… “What are you looking at?” Luna’s voice rang out from behind them as Sean and Bonnie stared.

Bonnie quickly turned-around at the sound of Luna’s voice. “How’s Nikki doing now?” Sean, too, stared at Luna attentively, waiting for her answer. “There are some abrasions, but nothing too serious. She’s in pretty good condition, I’d say.” Luna sighed, then glanced at Bonnie with a pained expression. “I wanted to go in to take care of her, but she refused to let me near her. “She’s throwing a tantrum, refusing to let neither me nor the hospital staff touch her.” Luna’s gaze shifted to Sean as she continued, “Nikki said that…the only person that was allowed to touch her was her brother…but…she’s naked right now. “Sean, you…”

Pursuing My Ex-Wife Isn’t Easy chapter 2124 by desirenovel

Sean immediately frowned upon hearing this.

Bonnie paused and turned to glance at Sean, then at Luna. She had something to say, but for the sake of Nikki’s dignity, she did not dare to say it out loud.

Nikki, who was stark naked after having undergone multiple checkups, had refused to let Luna or the hospital staff near her and insisted on allowing only Sean to care for her.

This meant that she insisted on letting Sean witness her naked body. Bonnie knew fully well that Nikki was in a vulnerable state after what she had experienced, but …this request of hers was highly unreasonable.

With this thought, Bonnie turned to glance at Sean once more.

Sean was sitting on a chair, his lips pursed into a thin line as though he was contemplating whether to give in and help Nikki.

“I know this puts you in a very difficult position, and I tried to help you.” Luna sighed when she saw how uncomfortable Sean looked, then added, “I’ve already tried to explain it to her, but she refused to listen.”

Then, she extended her arm out, displaying her injured hand to Sean. “This was what she did to me when I tried to help her just now.”

Bonnie and Sean walked over to her and glanced at her hand.

There were three red fingernail marks on the back of Luna’s pale, rosy hand. Sean pursed his lips in disapproval. “She shouldn’t have done that.”

Even though Nikki had not been in a good mental state when he brought her to the hospital, she had not been so distraught as to physically lash out at other people, but…

Not only had she made a clearly unreasonable request, but she even injured Luna, who had so kindly volunteered to help her.

Nikki constantly kept up with the news, and she had even told Sean about the various happenings between the Landry and Lynch families before. Therefore, there was no way she would not recognize Luna nor be unaware of her identity. How dare she even hurt Luna like this?

After all, Luna was the heiress of the Landry family, and they could not afford to offend them.

Not only that, but Luna was also Joshua’s fiancee. After spending the past couple of days working for Joshua, Sean knew exactly how much he treasured and cherished Luna beyond measure.

What would Joshua do if he found out that Nikki had hurt Luna like this?

Luna let out a sigh and waved her hands in dismissal as though she could sense Sean’s concern. “You don’t have to worry about my family or husband getting angry at Nikki over this It’s just a scratch, and I’m not that frail after that, but…”

She gave him a weak smile. “I don’t know how else to help you out of this situation.” Sean fell silent for a moment, then sighed. “I guess…I should go in, then.”

Then, just as he was about to step into the ward, a nurse stormed out, panting, and said, “Ms. Luna, the patient named Nikki has just said that she doesn’t need only her brother to take care of her.

“She said she’ll also accept it if someone named Bonnie Craig were to take care of her, too.”

Then, the nurse lifted her head to stare at Luna. “Can you help us get in touch with this woman named Bonnie? It’d be great if she’s willing to do this.

“Even us as medical professionals think it’s inappropriate for a brother to help out his sister when she’s naked.”

Bonnie narrowed her eyes upon hearing this.

She forced herself to stand up and said, “I’m Bonnie Craig.”

She smiled at the nurse. “Can you take me inside?”

“No, I won’t allow this.” Bonnie had just taken two steps when Sean sprinted forward to grab hold of her. “How can you take care of Nikki when you literally almost died not long ago?”

Pursuing My Ex-Wife Isn’t Easy chapter 2125 by desirenovel

Sean paused for a moment. “I think it’s best that I take care of her instead.”

Then, he strode over to the nurse’s side and said, “I’m the patient’s brother, so I’ll go instead.”

The nurse glanced at him dazedly, then at Bonnie, and finally stared at Luna. “Ms. Luna…” Luna fell silent for a moment, then lifted her head to glance at Bonnie. “Can you do this?” “No problem.” Bonnie smiled. “Sean was exaggerating when he said I almost died. I was just dehydrated because of the heat in the car, that’s all. I’m feeling a lot better now.”

Then, she flung Sean’s arm away. “After all, it was my fault that this even happened to Nikki in the first place. Since she’s willing to let me go in and take care of her, I’ll do it.”

She turned around to glance at Sean..”Besides helping me, you even put your sister in danger because of me… I don’t mind doing this if it means being able to ease the awkwardness between you and Nikki.”

Then, she smiled at the nurse and said, “Let’s go.” The nurse nodded and walked over to help her up. “Don’t worry. We’ll be keeping an eye on you outside the curtains, and if anything happens, we’ll be there to help.”

Bonnie curled her lips into a smile and nodded, then followed the nurse into the ward. Sean remained motionless, his brows knitted into a frown as he watched them leave.

He turned around to stare at Luna and asked her a question that seemed to be a consolation to himself, too, “Bonnie…will be fine, right?”

Luna, too, furrowed her brows at how confused he looked. “You and your sister…aren’t related by blood, right?”

Sean paused when he heard this, then nodded in reply. “Yes. Nikki was adopted by my mother.”

As he said this, he closed his eyes. “My birth father passed away due to an accident when my mother was pregnant, and she was so devastated that she miscarried the baby. “After that, she kept blaming herself for the miscarriage , so she adopted a baby to ease her pain.”

A small smile played on Sean’s lips as he recalled these accounts, reminiscing about his mother. “Mother said that she had given birth to two sons but no daughter …and she always wanted one…so she adopted Nikki.”

Luna furrowed her brows when she heard this. “You have another brother?”

Sean fell silent for a moment, then replied, “Not really; I just heard about him from my mother. She told me that he’s the son she had with her ex-husband, and she had left him at his father’s.

“He has a new mother now, and she treats him like her own. The three of them are now a happy little family, so neither Mother nor I want to disturb them.” With that, he smiled at Luna and added, “That’s why I’ve always pretended that this brother of mine didn’t exist all these years.”

Luna could not help feeling a little saddened when she heard this. She let out a sigh and was about to say something further when her phone rang.

It was a number she did not recognize.

She picked up the call, frowning, and Jim’s cold voice rang out from the other end of the line.” How’s Bonnie now?”

Pursuing My Ex-Wife Isn’t Easy chapter 2126 by desirenovel

Luna could not help sneering when she heard Jim’s words.

She curled her lips into a smirk and retorted, “What’s wrong, Mr. Jim Landry? Have you finally remembered that you have a person locked in your car? What is wrong with you? How can voi leave Bonnie alone in a locked car like that? Do you know you almost killed her?!”

Jim furrowed his brows when he heard Luna’s shrieks. Sitting on a bench in the airport, he rubbed his brows in frustration and replied, “Judging from your reply, she’s fine now, isn’t she?”

Luna grew even more outraged to hear this. She could not believe that Jim only cared whether Bonnie was fine or not. Did he think that if she were okay, he would not need to take responsibility for his actions? Jim could tell that Luna was furious, but he was not in a good mood either. However, because he knew that this was indeed his fault, he patiently explained to her, “Luna, listen to me: I was honestly concerned about Bonnie’s safety. The fact that you scolded me like this and even said that Bonnie almost died must mean that she’s fine now, isn’t she? I’m more than happy to hear that.” Luna could not help sneering when she heard this. “Happy? Jim Landry, I can’t hear a single hint of happiness in your tone at all. In fact, I feel that you’re getting impatient with me.

“Let me tell you one thing; this shit isn’t over yet. If anything were to happen to Bonnie after this, I’d make you pay for this!”

With that, she hung up the phone in a huff.

“Two hours,” Sean, who had been sitting in silence on the chair, said impassively as soon as Luna hung up. “It’s been two hours since Bonnie called me for help.” There was a hint of contempt in Sean’s eyes as he added, “I can’t believe Mr. Landry was so busy during this time that he didn’t even bother asking about his ex-girlfriend, much less coming to see her after almost killing her.” Luna frowned upon hearing this.

She knew that Sean was telling the truth; Jim had indeed fucked up.

However, she and Sean were talking about two different things entirely. As Jim’s sister, she was allowed to scold and reprimand him for being an irresponsible asshole, but… When Sean said the same thing, Luna could not help feeling a little uncomfortable. Despite this, as Jim’s sister, she did not have the right to argue with Sean over this, so she let out a sigh and glanced in the direction that Bonnie had left. “I’ll go check on them.” Then, she turned and strode away. The only person left in the lobby was Sean. He closed his eyes and had just let out a massive sigh of relief when his former boss called.

“This isn’t cool, Sean. I can’t believe you got yourself involved in an illegal gang.

“Terry is lying on my bed right now, howling in pain, saying that if I hadn’t sent him to check on your sister, he wouldn’t have ended up like this. “Don’t you think you’re being too cruel, Sean?”

Sean’s heart sank when he heard this. He forced out a smile and replied, “Boss, who do you think is the cruel one, me or Terry?

“My sister is only nineteen, and she’s not in the pink of health either. I asked Terry to send my sister to the hospital, but he took advantage of her because she’s sick… Don’t you think he deserved his punishment?” The man on the other end of the line fell silent.

Pursuing My Ex-Wife Isn’t Easy chapter 2127 by desirenovel

A split second later, Sean’s former boss sneered and retorted, “Well, if it weren’t for your wretched sister deliberately seducing him, he wouldn’t have done this anyway! Terry’s a good guy; I can vouch for this! “I can’t believe that he helped you check on your sister out of kindness, who forced him into sleeping with her, and now, everyone is blaming him for it! Sean, haven’t you thought of the possibility that this could be your sister’s plan? Tell me, what do you want from us?”

Sean instinctively guffawed when he heard this. “How could my sister have possibly been able to force him into doing something like this?” Even if Terry wanted to lie, he should at least have thought of a better excuse.

“She drugged him.”

With that, Sean’s boss hung up the phone. Sean clutched his phone tightly, listening to the dial tone. Nikki…had drugged Terry into sleeping with her?

That was impossible!

This was probably the first time Nikki had ever met Terry in person, so how could she possibly have been able to drug a stranger? Besides, she was a pure and innocent child, so how could she possibly have gotten her hands on something like this?

Sean could not believe that his boss adamantly defended Terry even after the heinous crime he committed.

“Bonnie, I only have one piece of advice for you; you’d better back off while you can.” Nikki sneered, glancing at Bonnie as soon as she entered the room and drew the curtains shut behind her. “Back off?” Bonnie shot her a cold look as she picked up Nikki’s clothes, which were draped over the bed. “What did I even do? Why should I back off?”

Nikki could not help sneering once more when she heard this. “How can you have no idea what you did?”

She dodged Bonnie as soon as she reached out toward her and instead wrapped herself in a blanket as she fixed her cold, penetrating stare on Bonnie’s face. “You barged into me and my brother’s life and even pranced around our house like it was a museum. Not only that, but instead of finding your ex-husband or friends and family for help, you kept on pestering my brother!

“What’s wrong? Are you so lonely that you can’t even reach out to a single friend and instead have to rely on my brother to save you?” Nikki continued haughtily, “I know exactly what you’re doing, Bonnie! After your failure to seduce Jim, you want to use my brother, who looks almost exactly like him, as a rebound! “Well, let me tell you this; you’d better give up right here and now! Sean is mine!”

Bonnie shot Nikki, who was stark naked and wrapped inside a blanket, a helpless look and said with a bitter smile, “I never wanted to take your brother away from you, so you don’t have to be so defensive.”

Then, she tossed Nikki’s clothes onto her body and added, “Judging from how you look, I guess you’re perfectly capable of taking care of yourself. Not only do you have the energy to argue with me about this, but you even know to cover yourself out of embarrassment. “That’s enough now. Your brother is worried about you, so you’d better stop throwing a tantrum and put your clothes on.”

“He’s worried about me?” Nikki let out a bitter smile, then recalled how she had swallowed the libido-enhancing pill and waited patiently for Sean to return home.

Initially, Nikki thought that after calling Sean about her fake attack, he would return home immediately to check on her. Therefore, she took a libido-enhancing pill and even put it in a pot of tea she had brewed specially for Sean.

However, to her surprise, the person who arrived to check on her was not Sean, but his ex coworker instead…

Everything after that had been out of her control. Nikki was unable to control the drug’s effects, while Terry could not suppress his urges, which led to this unfortunate incident.

To Nikki, however, Bonnie was to blame for this entire mishap! If Bonnie had not called Sean for help, this would not have happened in the first place! As soon as she thought of this, Nikki sneered. “Bonnie, I heard you guys talking outside, and I overheard you saying that you feel responsible for what happened to you, didn’t you? “Well, if you kneel right now and beg for my forgiveness, I might consider putting this behind us.”

Pursuing My Ex-Wife Isn’t Easy chapter 2128 by desirenovel

The entire room fell silent. The nurse and doctor, who were poised outside the curtains, waiting to help, exchanged nervous glances. Even though they did not know the full story of what happened between this patient named Nikki and this woman named Bonnie, they could piece together some clues from their conversation. It was probably because Bonnie had gotten into trouble and called Nikki’s brother for help, which brought him out of their house and ultimately led to her incident. Even though they pitiéd Nikki for this tragedy, it was…unreasonable of her to force Bonnie to kneel and beg for her forgiveness.

After all, Bonnie was not the one who had assaulted her.

Besides, she had no relation to the man who had done this to Nikki, either.

Bonnie was neither an accomplice nor the mastermind, and she had just asked Nikki’s brother for help when she was caught in trouble.

The nurse sighed and said in a low voice, “I guess we still have to ask Nikki’s brother to come in… Judging from Bonnie’s clothing and looks, she’s not an ordinary folk…so how can we expect her to kneel to Nikki for forgiveness?” The doctor nodded in agreement, then replied in a tone that was only audible to the two of them, “You’d better get out there and find Sean. I’m worried that these two will get into a fight.”

The nurse nodded and left the room.

“What’s wrong? Don’t want to do that?” Nikki sneered, seeing that Bonnie did not respond.” How can you say you’re sorry for what happened to me when you’re unwilling to beg for my forgiveness? You’re just a two-faced, manipulative woman, Bonnie Craig! You…”

Before Nikki could even finish her sentence, Bonnie sighed, gently lifted the hem of her skirt, and got to her knees slowly. “I’m sorry, Ms. Wheeler.” Then, she lifted her pale face to smile at Nikki, who was utterly shocked by this. “I’ve done as you asked, so you should probably stick to your word and put on your clothes now.” Then, she gave Nikki a once-over and added, “You shouldn’t be talking to me naked, you know, especially since your body isn’t that great anyway. “I’m not used to talking with naked women, especially those whose figures aren’t even as good as mine.” “You…!” Nikki’s face turned scarlet in anger. Finally, she shot Bonnie a murderous glare but picked up her clothes anyway. As she put on her shirt, she glared once more at Bonnie, who was still kneeling on the ground, and said, “My guesses were right; you were trying to steal my brother after all!

“When you called my brother for help, you made it sound as if you were in a dire situation, as though you’d die at any minute, but it turns out not only were you well enough to come to see me, but you could kneel, too. “You don’t even look that sick, Bonnie. Even if you wanted to lie, you could at least have put in a little more effort!”

Bonnie could not help smirking when she heard this. Then, she glanced at Nikki and replied, “. Whatever helps you sleep at night.”

Truth be told, the reason Bonnie had so willingly kneeled for Nikki without even putting up a fight was that she had no energy to argue with Nikki anymore.

At this moment, kneeling was far less exhausting than physically forcing Nikki to put on her clothes.

Besides, kneeling for her would make Nikki feel that she had won this battle and speed up the otherwise long, excruciating process of convincing Nikki to relent.

Because of this, Bonnie would rather choose the easier, albeit more undignified, way out. “What the hell do you mean by that?”

Pursuing My Ex-Wife Isn’t Easy chapter 2129 by desirenovel

Nikki scowled at Bonnie. “Tell me; which part of that was a lie? The fact is, you’re trying to steal my brother away from me, Bonnie!” Nikki, who was already dressed, stood up and stared at a pale-faced Bonnie from her great height. “Let me tell you this, Ms. Craig, Sean belongs to me and only me! “From the first time we met, I’ve already told you that he’s not my real brother. Even though the two of us grew up together and claimed to be siblings, he and I aren’t blood-related at all!

“I thought that as a woman, you’d be able to understand what I was trying to say about me and my brother’s relationship!

“I don’t know if it’s because you’re too dumb to understand what I meant, or if you were deliberately ignoring me so that you can steal my brother away from me!

“No matter what, Bonnie, my brother still cares about me more than you. After choosing to save you over me, he’s guilt-ridden by his actions, so you’d better give up right now!”

Kneeling on the floor, Bonnie could feel the energy draining out of her body little by little.

Truth be told, she had not yet fully recovered from her dehydration and heatstroke after being locked in Jim’s car.

The only reason she had forced herself to come to take care of Nikki was out of guilt toward her. Bonnie curled her lips into a smile as she watched Nikki pull on her pants. Her only aim of coming in here was to stop Nikki’s tantrum, and she had achieved her goal, but VVGI Nikki’s attitude was entirely different from how she was on the phone with Sean, claiming that she wanted to take her life after being humiliated. Bonnie did not know whether Nikki had been faking it or if…she was capable of adjusting herself that quickly. “Say something, Bonnie!” Nikki narrowed her eyes when she saw Bonnie staring at her silently. She strode over and kicked Bonnie harshly at the side of her abdomen. “I’m talking to you! Have you gone deaf?” Bonnie’s body was still weak from her incident, and with Nikki’s kick, she could not stop herself from falling to the ground Just as she was about to hit the ground, a shadow darted into the room and caught her just in time.

Sean was half-kneeled on the ground as he pulled Bonnie’s weak, limp body into his arms, then lifted his head to stare coldly at Nikki. “What were you thinking, Nikki?”

Sean’s sudden appearance stunned Nikki entirely. She stared dazedly at him, wanting to say something in defense, but no words came out.

Finally, she gulped and feigned innocence. “Sean, I…”

She bit her lip nervously and stared at him with tear-rimmed eyes. “I was just joking around with Ms. Craig. I…” “Joking around?” Sean sneered and gazed back at Nikki’s face. “How can you let her kneel and apologize to you as a joke? What does she even owe you? Why did you have to force her to kneel for you?

“How many times have I told you that this had nothing to do with Bonnie? It’s my and Terry Simmons’ fault! How dare you even force her to kneel?” Then, he shot Bonnie a sympathetic glance and said, “Why did you give in to her? didn’t I tell you that it wasn’t your fault at all?” Sean’s tone was gentle and reassuring when he said this to Bonnie, and as soon as Nikki heard this, she clenched her fists as hatred flashed through her eyes.

Pursuing My Ex-Wife Isn’t Easy chapter 2130 by desirenovel

117’m fine. “Bonnie slumped against Sean and said weakly, “I just need to rest for a while. You should take care of Nikki…” With that, she propped herself up, trying to stand. However, she had overestimated her strength.

Not only did she fail to get up, but because of the gravity, her body quivered and slumped back into Sean’s arms.

Sean managed to grab hold of her once more. “Stop trying to push yourself. You were unconscious when I brought you to the hospital just now, so I know how your condition is now!”

Then, he let out a sigh of regret and added, “I shouldn’t have let you come in to see her!”

A surge of emotions spread through Nikki’s heart at the sound of Sean’s concerned voice. She bit her lip, staring at Sean as he carried Bonnie to the door, and suddenly felt as though an invisible hand was squeezing her heart.

Just as Sean was about to reach the door, Nikki chased after him and grabbed his arm. “Sean! Why do you only care about Bonnie? What about me? I’m your sister, and I….I was just-”

Sean sneered without even turning around to look at her. “Nikki, I had indeed pitied and worried about you before this, but…” He closed his eyes. “I heard what you said to Bonnie just now.” Nikki’s entire body froze when she heard this. She could feel the blood rush to her head. “Sean, you,”

“Don’t.” Sean paused in his steps and let out a bitter chuckle. “Nikki, I had always thought that even though we’re not blood-related, our relationship is as strong as true siblings. Your disease…

“I’ve known since the start that you’ve been faking your terminal illness. All you had was just a chronic disease that required medication to maintain it, and you’re not dying at all.

“I know everything, but I kept pretending as though I didn’t because I thought there must be a reason you kept putting up this show. If lying to everyone would allow you to receive even more love and care, why would I ruin it for you?” Nikki’s entire body was frozen as though she had been struck by lightning. She could feel all the joints in her body stiffen, unable to move.
