At Janice's reaction, her expression stiffened slightly, and she avoided Bonnie's gaze. Awkwardly, she murmured, "Bon, I'm sorry... Holden had me under surveillance. I didn't have a chance to make that call

In truth, Janice did have a chance, but it was a call she was never going to make. Only if Bonnie married Xavian would she receive a generous dowry that would allow her to marry an elderly, wealthy man from the neighboring area. She'd had enough of the hard life in Dungo Village. Marriage was her only escape to a better life.

"Bon, even if I did get a chance to call Yvette, do you honestly think she'd come all this way just to help you escape?" Janice thought Bonnie's studies had made her naive.

They're just friends. Who would risk everything to travel all the way to Dungo Village for Bon? Who would be that foolish? Impossible, Janice thought.

Bonnie was about to speak when a cough escaped her, but she steadied herself, looking resolute as she told Janice, "Janice, if Yvette knew about my situation, she would absolutely come to rescue me."

Fearing that Bonnie's excitement might worsen her condition, Janice quickly replied, "Alright, I understand."

The room fell quiet. Bonnie was already too weak. Her once-round face had grown gaunt over the past few days.

Beside her, Janice looked at Bonnie with a tinge of guilt, though helplessness filled her gaze.

Suppressing the itch in her throat, Bonnie forced herself to comfort Janice. "Janice, I know it's because of me that you're being watched as well. I'm sorry for dragging you into this."

Looking at Bonnie's frail state, Janice's resolve wavered momentarily, but in the next second, she steadied herself.

'Bon is young and doesn't understand Xavian's worth. Once she's married, she'll realize that life with him will be just like any other marriage. It doesn't matter who one ends up with,' Janice wondered. With some effort, Bonnie reached into her pocket and pulled out a small slip of paper, her voice barely a whisper. "Janice, I have one last request.

"After I get married, call the number on this paper. Just tell him that I'm glad I knew him, and I hope he'll have a wonderful future."

Hearing this, Janice's eyes lit up with delight. "Bon, does that mean you've agreed to marry Xavian?"

Bonnie nodded with a look of unshakable determination. "Yes, I've agreed."

She had mentally prepared herself for the worst. In truth, she had no intention of actually marrying Xavian.
