A Call That Changed Her Entire Life

Chapter 1564 Coming To See Her

Bonnie was taken to Darren. She was feeling sore from the grip that the other woman had held her in. She was still in a daze and her heart was still beating a little faster than normal. When she saw Darren, her eyes instantly turned red, and all the grievances seemed to come out at this time. She wanted to cry her eyes out and tell him all the things that had happened.

“Bonnie, is everything okay?“ he asked when he laid his eyes on her. Darren had the urge to hug her when he saw that she looked a bit flustered. He hadn't seen her in so long and he just wanted to hold her for a while. But considering the situation, he tried his best to hold back this thought. He looked at her carefully, searching her eyes and scrutinizing her face. He felt as if something was wrong, and he wanted to know what it was.

Hearing Darren's voice, Bonnie lowered her head and tried to hold back her tears. She knew that she would burst any moment now, so she took two deep breaths and tried to calm herself down. When it was not enough, she clenched one hand into a fist, pinching her palm with her nails as hard as she could. With one last deep breath, finally, she calmed down. NôvelDrama.Org holds © this.

Once again, Darren asked, “Are you okay?“ As soon as Bonnie sat across from him, he blurted out his concern.

Bonnie looked at Darren again, carefully this time. His eyes looked heavy like they were tired, and his face had a shadow on it, making it look a bit darker than usual. Not wanting to worry him, she nodded with a tiny smile and said, “I'm fine, Darren. You've helped me a lot. No one is causing me any trouble.“

The gloom on her face said otherwise but she refused to acknowledge it. She didn't want to add to Darren's burdens so she decided to keep the details to herself.

And although Darren knew that Bonnie was not telling him the truth, he didn't press it further. He was relieved when he finally saw her. He had waited for this moment because it killed him inside not

knowing when he'd be able to see her again. So instead of wasting time getting the truth out of her, he just reassured her that he would stay by her side.

Bonnie looked a little haggard, as if she had not been getting much rest, but she still looked fine.

Bonnie caught Darren staring at her when she looked up, as if he was carefully studying her. Obviously, the situation outside the prison was also not good, or there wouldn't be a light stubble forming on Darren's chin.

Bonnie took a deep breath and sighed internally. This was why she didn't want to let him know that she was bullied. He would be more worried. He may have guessed it by now but she appreciated that he just let her be.

But it was when Bonnie lowered her head just a little bit that Darren could no longer hold it back. He knew something was wrong and he wanted to know what it was.

“Pull your hair away,“ he demanded. Darren's voice suddenly sounded a little cold, with some anger in his tone. He never sounded like that unless he was utterly serious.

He wanted to believe Bonnie when she said that everything was fine with her. And Bonnie almost had him, but he also knew that she would say anything just to be less of a burden to him.

Bonnie combed her hair nervously, and instead of pushing it away, she covered her forehead more tightly. Her heart was beating very fast. Although she didn't want to lie to Darren, she also didn't want him to know the truth. She didn't dare look at Darren at all. Instead, she turned her eyes to his hands on the table and forced a smile. “Hair? Maybe it's because I haven't taken good care of it in a long time. So it's a little messy,“ she said as an excuse.

Darren shook his head. “Why are you still lying to me, Bonnie?! Why do you always pretend to be strong?“ Seeing Bonnie hide behind her hair, Darren thought of an idea.

His hands on the table turned into fists, his jaw clenched, and the blue veins on his forehead bulged.

He couldn't blame Bonnie for not telling him the truth, so he blamed himself for his incompetence. He hadn't foreseen that bad things could happen to her in there.

If he were more capable, Bonnie wouldn't be suffering like this. She wouldn't pretend to be this strong. If he had just trampled on Jacob or maybe even confronted him, Bonnie would not have been locked here now.

Still agitated while clenching his fists, Darren stood up and walked around the room in circles. As he thought about his shortcomings, he took several deep breaths and closed his eyes, which turned red because of anger.

“Darren, calm down. I'm really fine. Don't think too much,“ Bonnie said as she looked at Darren anxiously.

Darren took more deep breaths, but this time to calm his nerves down. Then, he finally managed to control his emotions while listening to Bonnie's voice. When he sat in front of Bonnie again, his rage turned into endless pity. His eyes turned soft when he looked at her.

“Does the wound on your head hurt? You need to apply medicine as soon as possible when you go back in there,“ he said softly.

Looking at Darren and seeing his expression, Bonnie felt a little relieved. He was too handsome and she couldn't believe that he cared for her this much. It felt like the wound on her head was about to heal. She couldn't contain herself, so she let out a soft giggle and touched her head. She was about to answer when she felt her finger touch the wound, making her cry out in pain.

Darren was startled and he felt sorry for her, but he couldn't do anything.

He groaned and glared at Bonnie. He said, “Are you dumb? You know that there is a wound on your head, but you still touched it.“

Despite the pain, Bonnie laughed softly. “I didn't expect to touch the wound. Don't worry about me. I will take good care of myself,“ she replied with a smile.

Because Darren knew Bonnie, he believed that she would be obedient, but he didn't believe that she would take good care of herself.

So taking a look at the bruises on her head, he said, “I'll arrange a separate cell for you later, or I'll be worried about you.“ And then he remembered the promise he had made to her before, so he added, “Just hold on, okay? I'll take you out soon and you'll be fine. I promise. Everything will be okay.“

Bonnie smiled and nodded, not taking her eyes away from his. But she was afraid that he would be under too much pressure, so she narrowed her eyes and specifically reminded him, “You should also take care of yourself, or I'll have to take care of you.“

“Don't you want to take care of me?“ he asked teasingly, making Bonnie giggle. He smiled because he always liked seeing her like that.

The two of them talked a lot, mostly about trivial stuff to keep the atmosphere light. They didn't want to worry each other anymore. And if it weren't for the fact that the visiting time was almost up, Darren would have stayed a little longer.

As soon as he walked out, the tenderness on Darren's face disappeared, and his whole body went rigid. His hands turned to fists once again, feeling all the rage that he had tried so hard to hide earlier. Seeing Darren like this, everyone in the company wanted to stay away from him, including Harlan. But there were things that he needed to report to Darren, so he had to muster up courage to enter his office and face him.

“What's the result?“ Darren asked, his voice echoing inside the room, low and a little bit husky.

And since they were the only people inside, his voice rumbled throughout the silence. As soon as Darren said that, Harlan felt the temperature in the office dropped two degrees lower.

Everyone could feel that Darren was in a bad mood. It was enough to look at him and see his dark eyes, sharp and serious.

Harlan didn't want to go anywhere near Darren, but he had no choice.

His heart was beating faster the longer he was around him. He felt sorry for himself but he had to do it, so with a tense face, he cleared his throat and said, “Boss, the people who came back said that they didn't find anything valuable in Tyrone Mansion.“

“What a bunch of losers! They are all a waste of time. You can't do anything well, you piece of crap!“ Darren shouted. The vein in his neck bulged out like it was about to pop.

Harlan had already expected this reaction from Darren, so he kept quiet, lowered his head, and accepted his anger.

However, when Darren finished his words, there was no sound of him smashing things. So after waiting for a few more seconds, Harlan looked up curiously.

He saw Darren clenching his teeth, his eyes wide in anger. His hands were still formed into fists, but he was not moving. Harlan still kept quiet, waiting for Darren to say something. He looked at him, confused as to what he was thinking because he was looking straight ahead with vacant eyes.

At this moment, Darren was furious because of Harlan's report. They hadn't found anything after all that trouble. How incompetent! He thought of Bonnie forcing a smile in front of him so he wouldn't worry even with a wound in her head. He inhaled sharply as the anger rose up in his body again.

“B-Boss?“ Harlan asked cautiously. Despite his voice being a little shaky, it brought Darren back to earth.

He closed his eyes while taking deep breaths, pulled his tie loose, and suddenly stood up.

“Pack up and let's go,“ Darren said sternly with his teeth clenched. If Jacob was right in front of them, Harlan had no doubt that Darren would tear him apart directly, no questions asked.

“Boss, where are we going?“ Harlan asked. Although hesitant, he still followed Darren as he was about to leave.

Suddenly, Darren stopped and turned around to face him. “Those losers are useless, aren't they? So I will go to Jacob's house and take his life myself,“ he said coldly. Harlan looked directly at Darren's eyes and saw that there was no other emotion except plain fury. There was also a bloodthirsty smile on his face.

At this moment, he knew that the hatred between Darren and Jacob was endless.

Harlan's mind suddenly went blank when he heard this. He gasped when he saw Darren's dark face and evil smirk. It was something he wished he hadn't seen because it terrified him.

But after a few seconds, he finally came to his senses. When Darren was about to step out of the office, Harlan cleared his throat and quickly took a deep breath. Then with a racing heart, he rushed to Darren's side and stopped him.
