Chapter 2187
“It hurts, Aunt Bonnie… It hurts so much…” Bonnie’s heart broke at the sight of this. She held June
close to her and glared at the two servants, who were restrained by the guards.
“Who the hell ordered you two to do this? How can you do this to a six-year-old child?” The woman
leaning against the cushions shot Bonnie a cold look but did not reply.
The other one, however, stammered, “W-We were just following Mr. Simms’ orders! He told us to cut
the flesh off her arms…and then…mail them to her father…
“That way…her father will be willing to hand over what Mr. Simms wanted to save his daughter!”
Jim furrowed his brows upon hearing this. “What does Christopher have that’s so important to Quentin
that he’ll do anything to get him to hand it over?”
Jim did not understand this. Christopher was just a doctor, so what did he have with him that was so
irresistible to Quentin?
“I…I don’t know.” The servant lowered her head.
“All I heard is that…this little girl’s father possesses the recipe to a poison t-that can erase a person’s
memories and put them under the control of the giver of the drug.” Bonnie’s entire body froze upon
hearing this. Was this not the same poison that Jim had been put under?
She suddenly recalled that when she met Christopher the day before, he had declared to her excitedly
that he was in the process of formulating an antidote that would restore Jim’s memories.
Did this mean that the recipe of the original drug was in Christopher’s hands? Was that why he was
able to formulate a corresponding antidote? Bonnie could feel her scalp crawl at the thought of this.
Quentin had intended to use June to threaten Christopher into handing over the recipe!
Bonnie had always known that Jim was a strong and mentally resilient man, but even someone like him
had fallen victim to the poison. As a result, he had lost most of his memories and was put under
Charlotte’s control, subject to her whims and fancies.
If… If Quentin were to get his hands on this drug and manufacture it for his selfish means, the
consequences would be dire! As soon as she thought of this, Bonnie bit her lip nervously pulled June
into her arms.
“I won’t let you do this…” Jim furrowed his brows when he saw this. He, too, had connected the dots
and figured out what Quentin wanted from Christopher.
Was this what Christopher had meant when he said he had something important to take care of? Was
formulating the antidote to this drug the important task Christopher had mentioned?
Jim sighed and glanced at the little girl in Bonnie’s arms. “Bring her upstairs and tend to her wounds.”
Bonnie nodded.
She got up, carrying June in her arms, but after just taking two steps, she suddenly froze. She paused
in her steps and turned to glance at Jim, then at their surroundings.
“June is the only one imprisoned here… Where’s Charlotte?”
“I’ve already found her.” Jim curled his lips into a smile. He turned to glance at the servant sitting in
silence on the cushion.
“Don’t you agree?”
