I Stopped Waiting and Started Loving novel Chapter 153

For a moment, she swayed on her feet, her vision going black.

"Bonnie!"

Caleb was terrified and quickly reached out to steady her.

Bonnie leaned heavily against the desk. Tears welled up in her eyes, but she forced them back down.

Seraphina frowned as she looked at her devastated demeanor.

"You were the one who insisted on asking; I didn't provoke you. I'm busy. Don't forget to brew the medicine."

With that, Seraphina strutted off in her heels, hurriedly leaving the lobby.

"Bonnie? Please don't scare me. Are you okay?"

Caleb's anxious voice echoed in her ears over and over.

Bonnie clenched her jaw. After a long while, she finally managed to find her voice.

"I'm fine..."

She took a deep breath, slowly straightening up, her voice incredibly hoarse.

"Caleb, help me watch the front desk for a bit. I'm going to brew the medicine."

With that, she grabbed the packet of herbs and walked toward the brewing room like a ghost.

As the door to the brewing room shut, the cramped, suffocating space was filled only with the bitter scent of pots and herbs.

Bonnie finally couldn't hold it in anymore. Tears cascaded down her cheeks one after another.

Her mind was entirely consumed by what had happened in February two years ago.

Back then, her father's condition was deteriorating by the day. She had stayed in their rural town, running around raising money during the day and caring for him at night, completely unable to step away.

Hearing about the winter break volunteer clinic at Harlow Medical University, she had organized Parrish's medical records and told him to take them there to try his luck.

In her eyes, traditional medicine principles were universal.

She hadn't had the time to give him acupuncture or massages, so she thought having a doctor there take a look might at least alleviate some of his headaches.

Later, Parrish even told her that a doctor had been very patient with him. After reviewing his records, the doctor gave him acupuncture, which worked wonderfully.

At the end of the month, he did go for another visit.

But right around that time, her father's vitals had suddenly worsened. Her mood was rock bottom, and she had gotten into an argument with Parrish over something trivial.

After that, Parrish hadn't contacted her for over half a month.

She thought they were just giving each other the silent treatment.

She never imagined that during those two weeks, he had already regained his memory and returned to the York family.

Later on, she was the one who reached out to him first.

She had vaguely sensed that Parrish seemed different from before.
