Chapter 144
Neil’s eyes suddenly changed, and his voice turned cold, “In half a year at most, if I’m sure she did it, I won’t let her off the hook”
“Half a year? Why half a year?” is he just trying to buy more time?
Neil closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, the anger in his deep gaze had slowly subsided. He answered, “Bonnie needs some time for treatment now, then we’ll decide if she needs surgery. After the second transplant, we’ll part ways”
I figured out that the issue was Bonnie’s surgery. I had this weird feeling that was spreading uncontrollably.
“Why do you have to wait until her surgery is done? | asked.
“Because Kanna’s heart is in her body.” Neil finally answered my question.
I was stunned. This answer was totally unexpected. I only knew that Karina was his first love who committed suicide by jumping into a river because he married me. She was dead. And Bonnie, who looks like Karina, became his new true love.
I never thought these two people would share one heart!
Didn’t Karina die from drowning?” I found my voice after a while.
“I also thought she was dead, but she wasn’t. She was saved and died a few days later. Her heart was donated, and Bonnie was the recipient.” Neil said heavily.
I felt like I suddenly understood about a lot of things, yet at the same time, I found myself even more deeply perplexed
Apart from looking blankly at Neil, I was momentarily devoid of any other emotions.
So, his true love is still Karina, and Honnie is only protected and cared for by him because she has Karina’s heart?
Does Bonnie know that the heart implanted in her is Karina’s? I think she should know.
Oscar told me that Bonnie once said that her heart told her she liked Neil. That s probably why.
In this case, Bonnie knew about Neil earlier than I thought.
In my past life, she knew too, so she could be with Neil, like Cinderella in a fairy tale.
“Does she know about Karina?” I don’t know how long I stayed silent before I started talking again.
“She doesn’t know, and I dont think Kate told her,” Neil answered.
Does Kate also know that Bonnie is the recipient of her sister’s heart?
How did she find out?
Neil and Kate both think that Bonnie doesn’t know about Karina, but I know she does, and she is fully exploiting this.
The atmosphere turned silent again. Neil took out a cigarette, looked at me, and then put it down
“Neil, what’s your purpose for telling me all this?” I turned to look at him, my mood wasn’t as agitated as I thought it would he
“Give me some time, don’t keep avoiding me” His eyes were fixed on me without any intention of evasion.
I laughed, “Is it necessary? Your heart has always belonged to Karina. I don’t want to be your backup anymore
No matter what, I don’t want to turn back.
“Neil, I didn’t realize you were so sentimental in the past. Karma’s only heart in the world is enough to bind you tightly. You can act according to your heart, but you should not interfere with my future actions.” I did not look at Neil, but directly opened the door and left the car.
When I got home, I saw that my mom had made dinner. She called me over to eat when she saw me
I didn’t tell her that Neil was outside, but just ate dinner with her as usual.
After dinner, I contacted Oscar I needed his help.
Oscar was very happy when he heard that I was back in the country. He agreed to meet with me.
I treated him to a meal, then told him what I needed him to do.
“What’s this?” Oscar took the USB drive I handed him, looking a bit confused
“Bonnie is back in the country, she’s going to make a donation to Rosemont College. There will definitely be a welcomed event at Rosemont College, and
this USB is for that time.” I decided not to keep Oscar in the dark, as he was the only one who could help me with this.
I calmly told Oscar everything. His expression became more and more serious, and in the end, his gaze at me was unreadable.
If the plan succeeds, Bonnie will be in an embarrassing situation.
Oscar once truly loved Bonnie, and since he chose to avoid conflict right after they broke up, he might refuse me now.
I was prepared for his refusal. If he told Bonnie, I would accept it
“Irene, you’ve helped me many times before, and I’ve remembered it all. I know the world is not black and white, and many things can’t be clearly distinguished as right or wrong. It’s hard to always act according to conscience,” Oscar held the USB tightly, looking a bit conflicted, “So, I’m willing to help you”
I let out a sigh of relief and showed a grateful smile.
Not long after, Barbara told me the time Bonnie would go to Rosemont College.
Although Bonnie was not in good health, she still insisted on returning to Rosemont College to express her thanks, which I admired
Stella’s words alerted me, “Is she trying to elevate her status? Otherwise, how can she match Neil in the future without being laughed at?”
Whether it’s studying abroad or complaining about the hardships of life, her goal is to gain praise and support from the public. She has been criticized before, so it’s particularly important to clear her name now.
Everything was ready, I was just waiting for that day to come.
But before that, I received a call from Ada.
“Ms. Finch, I’m sorry, it’s all my fault for not educating my daughter well and letting her make many mistakes. You’re a generous person, if Bonnie did anything to offend you, I hope you can forgive her. As soon as the call connected, Ada started crying.
“Do you know exactly what she did to offend me?” I asked coldly
“She spilled it all to me. She said she shouldn’t have studied abroad, shouldn’t have appeared before you. And when you were in the hospital on bed rest, she shouldn’t have visited you and caused you such stress. But her intention was to say goodbye to you. You know she has heart disease, and was preparing to go to Phenovia at the time… Ada’s voice was filled with anxiousness, “Ms. Finch, Bonnie isn’t a bad girl. Much of what she does is unintentional. And she’s not with Mr. Whitmore now, it’s just that Mr. Whitmore is looking after her.”
I couldn’t help but want to laugh at this. Bonnie had even deceived her own parents.
Ada wanted to say more, but I didn’t want to hear any more. “Ada, you dont need to call me anymore. You guys know very well what kind of person Bonnie really is”
I hung up the phone and blocked Ada’s number.
But what I didn’t expect was that these two seemed to have planned it all out. Not long after Ada called me, Bonnie issued an apology to me through the
media in the evening
She sat there, dressed in hospital garments, her thin and pale face full of sadness, looking into the camera with quilt. Today, I want to apologize to Mr. Whitmore’s ex-wife, Irene Finch. I’m sorry”
