Chapter 2138 If she remembered correctly, the name list that Paul Duncan possessed…was the name list of all
the children who had been under his care at the orphanage!
Previously, while trying to piece together Roanne and Charlotte’s true identities, Bonnie had sought out a former
worker of the orphanage for help.
However, the worker told her that since everything had happened such a long time ago, no one knew the names of
the children at the orphanage, nor where each of them had ended up.
Nonetheless, the owner of the orphanage, Mr. Duncan, had a name list that recorded the names of all the children
and their whereabouts after leaving the orphanage.
Because of this, Bonnie had intended to track down Mr. Duncan to retrieve the name list from him, but…
He had left Merchant City a long time ago, and no one knew where he had gone nor when he would return.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtBonnie had no choice but to give up on her plan.
However, she did not expect that Mr. Duncan would return to Merchant City all of a sudden and that Jim would be
able to track him down and retrieve the name list from him just in time. If her guesses were correct, Jim was trying
to get his hands on the name list to learn the whereabouts of all the children at the orphanage.
As soon as she thought of this, Bonnie suddenly remembered the call Jim had received moments before he left her
alone in the car.
The first thing he had inquired after picking up the call was Number-9’s whereabouts.
This meant that…he had left her in the car because he had been preoccupied with finding Number-9.
A wave of emotions surged through Bonnie’s mind at the thought of this. Jim was probably trying to track Number-9
so that he could fulfill his promise to her, right? He did not know that Number-9 had been sitting next to him all
along and even almost died in his car!
Besides…
If he had successfully retrieved the name list from Mr. Duncan just in time, would he not have learned her true
identity at this point?
Had he found out the truth?
Would his attitude toward her change if he learned what had happened? Perhaps he already knew the truth, but his
love for Number-9 was not enough to make him take Bonnie back.
“What’s wrong?” Luna quickly strode over to Bonnie’s side AX?FD${K reached out to hold her hand as soon as she
saw the expression on her face. “Are you still unwell? Do you need me to call a doctor?”
Bonnie shook her head. “No, thanks.” She sniffed and lifted her head to glance at Luna. “I want to pack my bags
and go back to Tea Cottage tonight.” Luna furrowed her brows upon hearing this. “For what?”
She glanced at Bonnie’s pale face and continued, “You’re still extremely weak now, and Tea Cottage is so far away
from the rest of the city. Besides, you don’t have anyone to take care of you…
“I don’t think you should move back to Tea Cottage. I think it’s best if you continue staying with Joshua and me so I
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmcan look after you.”
Bonnie waved her hand in refusal. “I can’t possibly impede on your lives anymore. Besides…” She let out a sigh.
“Joshua employed Sean as his new driver, and if I continue staying there, we’ll continue to see each other all the
time. I…”
She paused for a moment before finally saying, “I want to keep my distance from Sean.” Luna frowned. “You and
Sean…” Bonnie sighed and explained everything that had happened between her and Sean to Luna. Luna fell silent
for a long time before finally agreeing to Bonnie’s request. “I’ll ask Joshua to send some of his men to keep an eye
on you.” Bonnie refused again. “There’s no need for that. All of Joshua’s men were specially picked out by Lucas
from among the best, so I don’t think I should waste all that manpower on myself. I’m fully capable of employing
my own bodyguards.” Luna rolled her eyes and ignored her entirely. Instead, she took out her phone and dialed
Joshua’s number.
