CHAPTER 2143
A young girl about five or six years old with big, beautiful eyes, rosy skin, and who loved wearing
traditional dresses… This was June, no doubt.
As soon as he thought of this, Christopher’s gaze on Laura softened as he asked, “You say you came
across her recently as a patient? What’s wrong with her? Where did you see her?” Laura sighed.
“I saw her at Mr. Joshua Lynch’s house.
“That poor child.
She doesn’t have a mother, and her father recently left her too.
She had no choice but to be put under the care of her father’s friend, where she had to beg for her
meals… “If this friend of her father’s hadn’t treated her so terribly, she wouldn’t have fallen ill so easily.
“I hear that she came all the way from Banyan City.
That poor child…” Then, she glanced tentatively at Christopher, trying to observe his expression.
“Don’t you agree, Dr.
Roberts?” Christopher narrowed his eyes and replied impassively, “Yes, indeed.
What a poor child; I especially pity her for having such a bad doctor who shares her personal
information so publicly even though she’s sick.” Then, he lifted his head to shoot Laura a cold look.
“Don’t you agree, Dr.
Suess?” Laura’s expression darkened upon hearing this.
She bit her lip and was about to say something in reply when Christopher’s phone rang.
“I’m sorry,” he said before picking up the phone.
Jim’s cold voice rang out, “I’m here.” “I’m sitting in the corner of the room.” As soon as he said this,
Christopher hung up and glanced at Laura.
“Are you going to stay here, occupying my friend’s seat, and listen to our conversation, Dr.
Suess?”
Sensing his irritation, Laura bit her lip and stood up.
“Well…since your friend is already here, Dr.
Roberts, I won’t take up more of your time.
Goodbye.”
Then, she turned and left.
She had just taken a few steps when Jim, who was walking in the opposite direction, bumped into her
harshly.
Laura winced from the pain, but there was not even a hint of emotion on Jim’s face as he said, “Sorry.”
His voice was low and melodic, EVAVI_lv as soon as she heard this, Laura waved her hands at him. This belongs to : ©.
“No need to apologize.
It was my fault too, …” However, before she could finish her sentence, Jim had already sat down next
to Christopher.
Laura narrowed her eyes and suddenly understood that Christopher had deliberately invited Jim here
so that he could get him drunk.
Therefore, she hid in a corner, intending to eavesdrop on their conversation.
“Why did you return to Merchant City all of a sudden?” Jim asked.
Christopher poured Jim a glass of wine and replied, “I could tell you were in a bad mood, so I invited
you out for a drink.” “Did you come back…for Bonnie?” Jim asked as he picked up his glass.
Christopher smiled.
“Yes, and no.
“Actually, Bonnie is not the main reason I’m here.
“I flew back here because of you.”
