Pursuing My Ex-Wife Isn’t Easy chapter 2221 by desirenovel

After all, the doctors had failed to find a suitable match for Gwen’s blood type despite scouring the entire blood bank, but as soon as Luke offered, it was found that he was a perfect match.

However…

Luke did not know how much time he and Gwen had left together.

At the thought of this, he turned to stare at Dr. Zachary. “Between Gwen and I, only one of us can live?”

Dr. Zachary fell silent for a moment, then glanced at Luke, frowning. “That’s one way to put it.

“Your body won’t be able to take these frequent blood transfusions any longer, and one day, you’ll collapse.

“If you transplant your heart and transfuse your blood to her, she might be able to survive, but you’ll unfortunately die.

“On the other hand, if you choose yourself, she won’t have much time left.”

Then, Dr. Zachary placed his pen in his coat pocket and added, “Whatever the case is, Mr. Jones, I have to advise you against this. It’s not worth it to sacrifice your life for a woman. “Even though I pity her for contracting such a rare disease, I don’t think you need to give up your own life to save her.

“You have so many friends and subordinates counting on you, so I don’t think you should act rashly.”

“When can we do the surgery?” Luke asked curtly after the doctor finished his sentence.

Dr. Zachary froze upon hearing this. “What surgery?

“The heart transplant.” Luke lifted his head to stare straight at Dr. Zachary. “Didn’t you just say she can survive if I transplant my heart and donate my blood to her? I want to know when I can undergo the surgery. I want a date and time.” Dr. Zachary’s jaw dropped in disbelief.

For a moment, he thought he had misheard Luke.

This was Luke Jones, for God’s sake! This was the man who ruled over the gangs in two cities!

He would willingly give his life to save a woman? This was the most shocking discovery he had ever made!

“Dr. Zachary?” Luke narrowed his eyes when the doctor did not reply, and there was a hint of malice in his gentle voice as he said, “What’re you thinking?

“No-nothing.” Dr. Zachary let out a slight cough.” We need about a month to prepare her for the surgery, B{E-G.N if her mental condition remains stable during this time, we can perform the surgery next month, but I still think that you…”

“Speak no further.” Luke narrowed his eyes as he watched the nurse bring out the blood transfusion needle. “No one can sway me once I’ve come to a decision.”

Dr. Zachary sighed and was about to say something in reply when Gwen’s voice rang out from outside the door, “Help! Help me! Stop chasing me, Luke!”

Luke’s entire body froze when he heard this.

He remained motionless, and a small smile crept across his face as he watched Gwen toss and turn in her sleep.

What a dork.

He was keeping her alive with his very blood, but in her eyes, he was a monster chasing her in her nightmares.

Was he that terrifying?

Just as Luke was fixated on watching Gwen in her sleep, his phone rang. It was Joshua.

Pursuing My Ex-Wife Isn’t Easy chapter 2222 by desirenovel

Luke glanced at the name on the screen, then gestured for Dr. Zachary to go ahead while shuffling to one side to pick up the call. “Why are you calling me at this time?”

“How’re you doing?” asked Joshua in a low voice as soon as the call connected. Luke curled his lips into a small smile. “Bonnie got into a car accident, and your mother-in-law passed out. Shouldn’t you be taking care of them now? “Or perhaps, you should be asking how Gwen is doing, not me.”

Joshua sighed and replied, “Bonnie has Jim, Rosalyn has Charles, and even Luna is busy taking care of the two of them. Gwen…has you, but who do you have?”

Joshua’s voice was calm as he added, “Who else is asking you how you’re doing, if not me?”

There was a hint of helplessness in Joshua’s voice.” Are you donating blood to her again?”

Luke lifted his head to glance at Gwen through the glass, who was receiving a blood transfusion, and chuckled. “There doesn’t seem to be a better way. Her condition is deteriorating…and I don’t have much time left either.”

The usual tone of coldness and arrogance in his voice had disappeared and was, at this moment, had softened in vulnerability instead.

Joshua fell silent upon hearing this, then finally replied, “There must be some other way.”

Rachel, Rosalyn, and Christopher were all greatly accomplished people in the field of medicine, and apart from them, Joshua had also contacted various prestigious medical institutions across the globe to help him.

He refused to believe that with so many great minds working together, they would not be able to think of a better way to cure Gwen’s disease than a heart transplant.

“It doesn’t matter.” Luke sighed. “She hates me now anyway, and I was kind of hoping I’d be able to save her with my life. “I’ve committed many sins throughout my lifetime, and God is punishing me by inflicting disease on the woman I love the most. If giving up my life means that she’ll be able to live the rest of her life happily and healthily, it doesn’t seem like a bad trade.”

Joshua did not know how to respond to this. “Luke…

“Do you know what’s going on now? I’ve climbed to the top of the ladder, E]{F*B&N there’s no way I’d be able to wash my hands of this. Even if I retire,

someone will come for my life eventually. “Even if I live, I’ll be putting Gwen in danger because of her proximity to me, and besides…” He glanced in Gwen’s direction, smiling bitterly.” She doesn’t like being with me anyway. She likes peace and tranquility.”

Then, he let out a sigh. “Alright, Joshua, I know you care about me, but you know better than anyone how stubborn I am. Once I come to a decision,

there’s nothing you can do to change my mind.

“You should take care of business on your end.”

Then, he hung up the phone. Joshua furrowed his brows when he heard the dial tone.

“Joshua,” all of a sudden, Luna’s anxious voice rang out from behind him. “Have you found out where Luke brought Gwen? Why had she vomited blood all of a sudden?”

Luna had just returned from taking care of Rosalyn and was relieved to know that both Bonnie and Rosalyn were going to be okay. However, she heard Charles mention that Gwen, too, had been sent to a hospital, so she wanted Joshua to contact Luke for more details.

Luna’s impression of Luke had turned sour ever since Gwen was recaptured after her attempt to escape Luke, and she knew that even if she asked him directly, he would not tell her the truth about Gwen’s condition.

Pursuing My Ex-Wife Isn’t Easy chapter 2223 by desirenovel

This was why Luna had asked Joshua to contact Luke instead. “She’s fine.” Joshua regained his composure and replied impassively, “Gwen vomited blood because of an old stomach ulcer. You know she’s been having gastric problems since a long time ago.

“She got a nasty shock when she saw what happened to Bonnie and your mother, and this triggered her old problem. Luke said that she’s fine now and just needs to rest.”

Luna felt the weight lift off her shoulders. She sighed and said, “Thank God she’s okay.”

It was exhausting enough having to care for both Bonnie and Rosalyn, and if anything bad happened to Gwen, too… Luna did not know how she could possibly split herself into three parts so she could look after all three of them.

“How’s Rosalyn now?” Joshua quickly changed the topic as soon as he noticed that Luna did not suspect a thing “She’s awake now, and my father is bringing her over to visit Bonnie.” Luna could not help lamenting, “As soon as she woke up, the first person she asked about was Bonnie, and the second was Gwen.

“After finding out that Bonnie was fine despite her miscarriage, she kept asking questions about Gwen, and some were oddly specific. Judging by how worried she seemed, I would’ve thought Gwen was gravely ill or something…” Joshua narrowed his eyes. “Perhaps in her eyes, vomiting blood is something far more serious than suffering a miscarriage.”

Then, he reached out to hold Luna’s arm and said, ” We should go visit her, too.”

Luna nodded and followed Joshua to Bonnie’s room.

They had just taken a few steps when they bumped into a doctor in a white coat.

The doctor greeted Joshua enthusiastically when he saw him, “Mr. Lynch! I’ve managed to find some information about that heart transplant you were asking me about, and”

Before he could finish his sentence, Joshua shot him a cold look, and he immediately clamped his mouth shut.

The doctor had not seen Luna walking behind Joshua and, thus, thought he was here alone.

The moment he spotted Luna, the doctor knew he had made a mistake by bringing up the heart transplant in front of her. He mustered an awkward smile. “Pardon me; I’ve mistaken you for someone else.”

Then, he turned DAGSASM scampered away as fast as his feet could bring him.

Luna remained motionless, frowning as she watched the doctor leave.

She turned to glance at Joshua. “What heart transplant was he talking about?”

Joshua, however, pretended not to have noticed and pulled her toward Bonnie’s room. “Didn’t he say he. mistook me for someone else?”

An uneasy feeling arose in Luna’s heart as she stared at Joshua’s tall, broad back.

Her gut feeling was telling her that the doctor had not been mistaken at all.

He had greeted Joshua as “Mr. Lynch” and trotted toward him excitedly Could there be another man in Merchant City who resembled Joshua and possessed the same surname? However, before she could ponder the details, they arrived at Bonnie’s room.

Bonnie was still unconscious.

Jim was sitting next to her bed, holding her hand in silence.

Charles was helping Rosalyn into another chair, and Rosalyn was weeping. “Jim, don’t you know how bad Bonnie’s health was? She suffered severe health consequences when she gave birth to Harvey due to the negligence of the doctor at that illegitimate clinic.

“It’s extremely difficult for her to get pregnant now, much less keep a baby in her belly for two months! But you… “You killed your second child yourself!”

Pursuing My Ex-Wife Isn’t Easy chapter 2224 by desirenovel

Jím sat in silence and did not say anything in response. Instead, he clutched Bonnie’s hand tightly in his.

However, the quieter he was, the more outraged Rosalyn became..

She bit her lip and glared at him. “Jim, I don’t know what happened that put you in such a terrible mood.

“Even if she wasn’t pregnant with your child, how can you possibly allow her to chase after you on the highway like that? Don’t you have any basic respect for her? Weren’t you at all concerned about her safety? Weren’t you worried that she couldn’t keep up with you and something bad would happen?

“Thank heavens that the airbag in her car managed to save her life. Otherwise, she would be dead by now!”

Jim lowered his head and gripped Bonnie’s hand tightly. “I already told her not to chase after me.”

Bonnie had been following him ever since he left Quinn Mansion. Not only did she follow him in her car, but she even rang his phone.

Initially, he had refused to pick up, but in the end… he could not stop himself from taking her call.

The first thing he said to her was warn her not to continue chasing after him, but she had told him she would not give up. She wanted him to know that even if everyone in the world turned their backs on him, she would not give up on him.

If she had said this to him on a regular day, he would have been touched by this, but…

All Jim could think of at this moment was how he had been abandoned by his birth mother.

Bonnie’s words only served as a reminder of this cold, harsh truth.

Therefore, Jim hung up the phone and immediately stepped on the gas. Then, this happened… “So what if you told her not to chase you?” Rosalyn was furious. “She loves you so much that she’ll never give up on you! But you’re blinded to this!”

Rosalyn started patting her chest in an attempt to soothe her anger. “Just because she loves you doesn’t mean you can abuse this! Mickey and the butler have already filled us in on what happened while we were away in Lincoln City after you lost your memories!

“You’ve crossed the line, Jim. Even if you didn’t remember her G}{E!B%M no longer had the memories you shared, it doesn’t justify you treating her like that. You’ve never been that cruel!”

Jim remained silent.

It was Charles who finally spoke. “A few hours ago, Harvey got in touch with me and told me that Jim has agreed to marry Bonnie. I guess… Jim isn’t as cruel as we think he is.”

Rosalyn rolled her eyes at this. “If he’s not as cruel as we think, would he have sped on the highway with Bonnie following him?

“Perhaps Jim was indeed in a horrible mood and was doing this to release his pent-up emotions, and Bonnie shouldn’t have followed him…but what could have caused this?

“Now that Charlotte has been captured and they’re already searching for the real Number -9, Landry Group is no longer being targeted by Lynch Group. What could possibly have affected Jim’s mood so much that he neglected Bonnie’s feelings and safety?

Jim paused for a moment and was about to say something when he caught sight of Charles and Rosalyn’s expressions.

Perhaps these two still had no idea that Lucy had managed to survive that incident many years ago.

Jim knew better than anyone about the relationship between Charles and Rosalyn.

Rosalyn had sacrificed and given up everything for Charles and the Landry family, but Charles had been oblivious to this.

If Rosalyn had not ended up in a coma after almost being killed by Heather a year ago, Charles would not have realized his true feelings toward her.

Rosalyn had always treated Jim like her own, and oftentimes, she treated him better than Heather, who she thought was her real daughter. No matter what happened, Jim would never forget Rosalyn’s kindness toward him.

Nonetheless…

Rosalyn’s sacrifice had finally earned herself Charles ‘love.

Was he going to tell them the truth about Lucy at a time like this?

Charles had finally let go of Lucy, and if he were to bring her up at this moment…

Pursuing My Ex-Wife Isn’t Easy chapter 2225 by desirenovel

Would this destroy Charles and Rosalyn’s newly built relationship? Jim pondered this, staring at them in silence.

Outside the door, Luna had overheard their conversation and had also noticed the contemplative look in Jim’s eyes.

A surge of warmth spread through her heart.

Ever since Jim lost his memories, everything he had done had been against her will, but at this moment…

It seemed that this was still her brother, the man who cared about Rosalyn’s feelings more than anything.

At the thought of this, Luna let out an exhale and strode into the room.

“How’s Bonnie doing now?”

Luna and Joshua’s sudden arrival broke the awkward silence in the room.

Jim immediately came to and let out a sigh.“The child …didn’t make it.”

Luna furrowed her brows and hesitated for a moment before finally lunging forward, lifting her arm, and smacking Jim across his cheek.

Smack! A deafening noise echoed through the room.

Charles and Rosalyn were frozen in shock, and even Joshua was a little startled by this.

However, Jim did not appear at all surprised by Luna’s aggression.

He stared at Luna impassively, ignoring the stinging pain that seared through his cheek, and asked, “Did you slap me for your sake or Bonnie’s sake?”

“I slapped you for the sake of the dead child!”

Luna narrowed her eyes and snarled through gritted teeth, “From the moment you lost your memories, you had been trying desperately to get rid of the child, and at one point, you even suspected that this child belonged to her and Christopher! “Because of this, Bonnie even tried to get a forged abortion consent form from the hospital so that you’d leave her alone, but what happened then? You still managed to kill this child! How does it feel to murder your own child, Jim Landry?”

Jim narrowed his eyes but did not reply.

Luna furrowed her brows and braced herself for another slap, but Rosalyn stopped her in time.

“Luna,” Rosalyn called out, frowning.

“Even if you beat him up, there’s no way to bring the child back to life anymore, FBp'[rMN besides…” She sighed.

“I’ve already given him an earful.”

Even though Rosalyn was just as furious about the baby’s loss, she could not bear to see Luna hurting Jim like this.

“Father, Mother,”

Joshua piped up.

“I think you’d better get some rest soon since Mother still hasn’t fully recovered from her illness yet.

“Don’t worry.With me here, Luna wouldn’t dare to hurt Jim any further.”

Rosalyn fell silent for a moment, then finally nodded.

“Thank you, Joshua.”

Then, Charles and Rosalyn left the room.

Before leaving, Rosalyn could not stop herself from reminding Luna, “He’s still your brother, you know…”

Luna pouted and replied rather impatiently, “Alright, alright.”

When Charles and Rosalyn’s footsteps finally disappeared, Jim curled his lips into a bitter smile and thanked Luna, “If it weren’t for you two, I wouldn’t have known how to act.If you hadn’t slapped me like that, Mother would probably still be mad at me.”

Luna shot him a cold glance.

“Do you think I slapped you to save your ass? I did it because I wanted to.”

Pursuing My Ex-Wife Isn’t Easy chapter 2226 by desirenovel

Silence blanketed the room after Luna’s remark.

Joshua furrowed his brow silently.

Nonetheless, Jim smiled lightly and did not take Luna’s words to heart.

“Regardless of what your intention was, you did help me, and I must thank you for that.Moreover…”

He looked at Bonnie, who was lying on the bed with her eyes shut tightly, and a helpless expression appeared on his face.

“You’re her best friend.She adamantly protected the baby and even resolved to make a fake report just to keep that baby.Just because of my impulsiveness, however, she lost the baby.

“Your anger is warranted, and I deserved that slap; it’s only right that I endured that.I only have myself t o blame.”

After that, he looked at Luna and sighed heavily.

“Could you please tell me more about my relationship with Bonnie?”

Jim’s request baffled Luna.

She gazed at the man before her and felt something was different about him, but she could not tell what it was.Looking at how stunned Luna was, Jim—thinking she did not hear him the first time—patiently repeated himself, “Can you tell me about my relationship with Bonnie?”

This time, Luna heard very clearly what Jim said.She paused and looked at Jim curiously.

“You…Why would you suddenly want to know?”

Previously, Jim had never wanted to admit his relationship with Bonnie to the extent that he did not want anyone around him mentioning it to him.

If he could, he would probably want to wipe off that history and wanted to have nothing to do with Bonnie, as though they had never met each other.

All of a sudden, Jim requested Luna to tell him the details of their relationship.

Jim chuckled as he noticed how shocked Luna was.

“To be frank with you…”

He closed his eyes.

“When I found out that my mother didn’t die as everyone thought, I was happy, though the pang of sadness was inevitable.She was afraid her memories would hurt her and didn’t have the courage to face my father.

“She also didn’t want to let go of Richard, who had been taking care of her and loving her.That was why she decided to give up everything in her past including me, her own son.”

He looked at Luna with a bitter smile.

“If I don’t recall my memory, ADo’AwKL if I don’t get back together with Bonnie…

“If I don’t recall anything about my past with Bonnie, I’ll be just like how my mother was.What kind of person am I to blame and hate my mother for not wanting me and seeking an apology from her?”

Luna bit her lip after hearing Jim’s explanation.

It was something that she had never thought about.

Only at this moment was the dark cloud in her mind cleared.

Jim was right.

If he did not look for his past, he would be the exact person like his mother, whom he hated.

With that thought in mind, Luna took a deep breath.

“Alright, I’ll tell you, but…”

She looked at Bonnie.

“Let’s go somewhere else.”

Luna knew what a coma felt like; she had been there before.

She knew that even in a coma, people were conscious enough that they could, at times, hear whatever everyone else was saying around them.

Luna wanted t o avoid letting Bonnie know that she was about to tell Jim about his past relationship with her.

After a moment of silence, Jim nodded.

“Alright, Let’s go somewhere else.”

He stood up and took a good look at Bonnie.

“Wait for me.”

Then, he looked at Joshua.

Pursuing My Ex-Wife Isn’t Easy chapter 2227 by desirenovel

“Can your people take good care of her?” Joshua scoffed.

“Don’t worry.”

Joshua might have hesitated or reconsidered the request had it been anything else, but merely dispatching his men to watch over the unconscious would not be anything difficult at all for his men.

With Joshua’s reassurance, Jim left the ward with Luna, feeling less worried.

Once both of them were gone, Joshua waved his hand t o summon Lucas.

“Have some people take care and watch over Bonnie closely.” Lucas nodded.

Ever since Joshua unraveled the whole incident regarding Laura, Lucas had been on his toes with his job to avoid any more mistakes.

Thus, he found the two most trusted and responsible persons among the bodyguards.

“Protect and take good care of Ms.Craig.Let no one else in, other than doctors and healthcare workers.”

The two bodyguards nodded diligently.

However, right after Lucas left, a woman in a nurse’s uniform walked toward the room with a tray of injection needles and medicine.She showed her identification card to the bodyguards.“I’m here to exchange Ms.Craig’s medicine.”

The two bodyguards furrowed their brows.

“Exchange the medicine?”

They internally debated this, wondering if Bonnie needed that since she had just suffered a miscarriage.

The nurse smiled as though she had read the bodyguards’ minds.

“She had suffered an accident, too, so it’s only natural that there are other injuries o n her body apart from her miscarriage.Besides that, her body is very weak after the miscarriage, and if her injuries aren’t treated accordingly, they’d become more problematic, risking infections to boot.I’m sure you don’t want her status to worsen under your guard, right?”

The two bodyguards immediately moved aside.

“Please, enter.”

The nurse smiled at them and entered the ward.

She also brought up the excuse that others should not look at Bonnie’s body to close the door.

When everything was in place, the nurse smirked and took off her mask, revealing that it was, in fact, Nikki i n disguise.

Jealousy hatred were etched on her face as she squinted at Bonnie.

“I don’t get what’s so good about you.”

Not only Jim could not get over her, but Joshua and Luke had also been protecting her.

Heck, even her beloved brother, Sean, was very humble while he was with Bonnie.

Sean had always been hers! For as long as she remembered, Sean belonged to her and her only.

She had vouched that she would one day be his bride when she grew up! After waiting for many days and nights, she finally turned 19 and was able to marry Sean, but the events that happened after were out of her expectations.

Bonnie suddenly appeared and changed her brother’s heart.

At first, Nikki thought that she could make her brother change his mind as long as she worked hard 0 n it, but she later realized she was dead wrong.

Her brother had fallen deeply in love with Bonnie.

‘No, I can’t let it continue”

Nikki squinted, her eyes faintly gleaming with deep-seated abhorrence.

Since she could not steal her brother back with her charms…then she could only use the most despicable method t o deal with Bonnie.

All she needed was for this wench to die.

If Bonnie died, her brother would change his mind and return t o her.

Nikki firmly believed in this.

With that thought in mind, she took the needle from the tray and injected a liquid into Bonnie’s vein while Bonnie was still in a coma.

“Don’t blame me for being ruthless, Bonnie.”

“Blame yourself for seducing my brother!”

Pursuing My Ex-Wife Isn’t Easy chapter 2228 by desirenovel

Even after injecting one tube of medicine into Bonnie’s vein, Nikki felt that it was not enough.

Haunted with greed, she wanted to administer another injection.

The medicine was, in fact, a poisonous substance Lucy had gotten when she was suffering the most during her illness.

At that time, she wanted to end her life and requested the poison from a doctor that she was close to.

Nikki overheard the conversation between Lucy and the doctor.

The doctor had said that the poison would slowly take effect once it was injected into one’s body, and the person would pass away after one week.

Lucy could use the one week to handle all the aftermath before she passed away.

Although Nikki did not know why Lucy did not use the two bottles of poison to take her life, she had secretly put away these substances when Lucy died, not wanting Sean to know Lucy had thought of committing suicide.

Nikki finally understood she did that just to use the poison for a day like today.

She had to kill Bonnie to end her attempts of seducing her brother, once and for all! That thought had brought the devil out of her.Once again, she injected the needle into Bonnie’s vein.

‘One injection will kill her in seven days.What about two injections? Will she die in three days and a half?’ Nikki’s smile broadened at the thought.

‘I’ll just do it.The more poison in her body, the better! The quicker she dies, the faster Sean could forget her!’ With an evil smile on her face, the manic Nikki continued to inject the poison, failing to notice that someone had opened the door.

“What are you doing?” acold, gloomy voice suddenly broke the silence in the room, startling Nikki, who lifted her head automatically.

The man at the door was no other than Sean’s half- brother, Jim Landry.

His existence gave Nikki the shock of her lifetime.She furrowed her brow and, in panic, quickly put away the needle at hand.

“I—I’m a nurse working in this hospital.I’m here to help Ms.Craig…to treat her injuries!”

“Treat her injuries, you say?” repeated Jim with a sneer.

He smirked condescendingly.

“Do you have to give her a shot if you’re just treating her injuries?”

Every step he took made Nikki internally waver with the pressure he exuded.She receded after being forced by Jim’s powerful aura.

“I was j—just doing what the doctor instructed,” reasoned Nikki.

“Which doctor? What’s their name?”

Jim slowly closed in on Nikki, his eyes fixed on her like a knife slowly scoring on her body.

Nikki bit her lip as she was already forced to the corner of the ward.

With a low voice, she stuttered, “It’s…it’s Ms.Craig’s attending doctor.”

Jim stared daggers at Nikki’s face.

“Which attending doctor? What’s his name?”

Several attending doctors had treated Bonnie.

At first, Jim had a suspicion about the nurse also felt she looked rather familiar, hence his questions.

Unexpectedly, the nurse kept on avoiding and failed t o answer any of the questions.

This only guaranteed that she was not a nurse from this hospital.

Jim grew furious as anger flared in his chest.He grabbed Nikki by her jaw.

“Tell me! Who are you? What did you inject into Bonnie’s body?!”

The strong grip from Jim caused Nikki to cough.

“I—I didn’t inject anything.It was all the medicine that the doctor prescribed!”

Pursuing My Ex-Wife Isn’t Easy chapter 2229 by desirenovel

“You got it all wrong!” Alas, Nikki’s attempts of convincing Jim could not sway him whatsoever, what more in the way she stuttered in her words.

Jim squinted. “Not going to fess up, are we?”

The force on his grip intensified, powerful enough that he lifted her off of the floor and strong enough to potentially snap Nikki’s neck if he continued! Nikki could only struggle. “I’m telling you the truth. 1-I didn’t lie to you! I…”

Nikki, at this point, could barely force out a sentence or two compared to seconds ago. In such a helpless state, she could only put up a pitiful fight.

A noisy clatter was heard when she accidentally knocked over the things on the table when she struggled. Jim’s eyebrows furrowed at the noise, but despite the intensity of his grip lessening, he did not let go of Nikki.

Both of them ended up in a stalemate.

At that moment, Jim’s assistant, Coleman, knocked on the door and entered, reporting his findings as he did.

“I’m here with the information you wanted to look into, Sir.

“I’ve discovered bits of information about when your mother was still alive. Your mother had a son with Mr. Wheeler, Sean Wheeler. She was pregnant for the second time, but Mr. Wheeler passed away during her pregnancy. Your mother had grieved severely, which resulted in her having a miscarriage. “Along the line, she adopted a daughter from the orphanage and gave her a name, Nikki Wheeler. This woman…”

When he finally realized what was happening in the room, Coleman was stunned. “Nikki Wheeler?” His gaze alternated from the documents at hand, to the woman caught in Jim’s grip. “Is that you, Nikki Wheeler?”

Jim furrowed his brows and glanced at Assistant Coleman coldly. “What nonsense are you talking about?”

The startled Assistant Coleman took a while before answering, “Sir, the woman in your grip…is very likely to be the daughter your mother, Lucy had adopted. She grew up together with Sean Wheeler. Her name is Nikki Wheeler.”

Jim squeezed his brows together and glanced at the information on Assistant Coleman’s hA[{B&C+N. The first page was, coincidentally, about Nikki’s information.

He squinted.

Before this, he had no idea what motives this woman had and why she would want to inject something into Bonnie’s body.

With this information, he finally understood.

This woman, Nikki Wheeler had misunderstood the relationship between Bonnie and Sean, considering Bonnie as her love rival. This explained why she injected whatever it was she had injected into Bonnie’s body.

A foreboding feeling bubbled within Jim the moment everything clicked for him, and he internally gasped.

He turned and quickly grabbed Nikki, who was about to escape, and pushed her against the wall once more. “Since you’re Nikki Wheeler, what did you inject into Bonnie’s body? Don’t tell me it’s just normal saline.”

“Well, well.

“Not bad, Young Master Landry, you’ve figured it out! Too bad, though.” Nikki giggled. “You’re still too late. Bonnie will only have seven days left to live!

Pursuing My Ex-Wife Isn’t Easy chapter 2230 by desirenovel

Nikki‘s taunt made Jim‘s eyes turn cold, and he exerted more power into his grip on her neck. “You poisoned Bonnie?”

The gleam from Jim‘s eyes was about to devour Nikki entirely. She had never seen anyone with such a strong aura and deterrent as Jim!

Despite her trembling self, however, Nikki mustered her courage to look Jim dead in the eye. “Otherwise? Do you think that I‘m kind enough to really nurse her to health?”

Nikki looked at Jim‘s face and cackled. “So you‘re Young Master Landry, are you? You share my brother‘s features, alright, but you‘re nothing more than a fool! With your intelligence, you‘re not worthy to be my brother‘s biological brother and not worthy to be Ms. Hamilton‘s biological son!”

Those words had finally broken the last string that was holding Jim‘s sense. He glared at Nikki angrily with a killing ray from his eyes.

“What bullshit are you even talking about now?”

The last thing he wanted to hear now was Sean and Lucy‘s names. However, Nikki did not care and continued to provoke Jim. “It‘s the truth!” She sneered as she looked at Jim‘s face. She spoke mockingly, “The truth is, Ms. Hamilton was right to abandon you and choose Mr. Wheeler and Sean!”

Nikki knew this was Jim‘s sensitive spot. When Sean brought the box to Quinn Mansion to look for Samuel, and when Jim found out that his mother had survived all these years, she knew all about it. She had been following Sean, and the news had been reporting about Jim and Bonnie racing at Ring Road for the entire afternoon.

Nikki could not possibly have not known about it.

Summing up everything that had happened, Nikki knew that Jim cared about this event a great deal, and that was why she had used it to provoke Jim so she could attempt to escape when Jim was on the verge of violent rage.

Alas, Coleman quickly caught onto Nikki‘s schemes, and when he noticed Jim‘s grip had intensified, he rushed up to Jim and tried to pry his hand off of her. “Sir, calm down. She‘s trying to provoke you. If you fall for it, the consequence is unimaginable!”

By then, Nikki could rebuke them, saying that Jim attempted to hurt her!

With that thought, Assistant Coleman tried hard to pull Jim away. However, his strength was useless against an angry Jim. Without any other choice, Coleman pressed the emergency button at Bonnie‘s bed.

Outside Bonnie‘s ward, Sean had disguised himself as one of the hospital‘s janitors, slowly mopping the floor. The two bodyguards did not hear anything from the room C]|B!G*N had sat on the floor, yawning tiringly.

Sean attempted to eavesdrop as he mopped the floor, but the ward‘s soundproof walls were too solid, and the bodyguards did not allow him to get nearer. He thus had no idea what was happening in the ward.

Sean found out from the news that Bonnie got admitted to the hospital. After much questioning, he finally confirmed the hospital and the ward where Bonnie was at.

Even when Bonnie harbored feelings for Jim instead of him, Sean could not rid her from his mind. He wanted to find out the situation she was in. Thus, after much struggle, Sean bravely disguised himself as a janitor to be in the hospital.

He had no intention of seeing how Bonnie was; he just wanted to protect her. So long as he could receive some news to know about her situation, he would be satisfied.

However, he had been here for three minutes and no one had entered nor left the ward. There was not even a peep from the ward.
