A Call That Changed Her Entire Life novel Chapter 1542

Darren tried his hardest to convince the police that Bonnie was innocent. Unfortunately, the police didn't believe anything he said and even showed why he was not a suspect.

He had really thought his plan was going to work. But now, Bonnie's entire future and innocence were left in the hands of a jury in court tomorrow.

With nothing else to do at the police station, Darren decided to leave. There was still a bit of time before Bonnie's trial and he couldn't let time just pass by without trying to find another way to help her.

Since there was no other way but to go through with the trial, Darren searched everywhere for the best possible lawyer. He wanted the best possible chance of winning, especially since the love of his life was in trouble.

When he finally found what he was looking for, Darren quickly took action. He immediately put together all the documents the lawyer wanted and handed them to the law firm that same day.

Even after all of his efforts, he knew the chances of winning the case tomorrow was still less than fifty percent.

Darren didn't believe in any kind of gods or deities. His whole life, he had only placed his trust in himself. But at that moment, for Bonnie's sake, he prayed with all his heart and soul that they would win tomorrow.

The next day, Bonnie's trial happened as planned.

The lawyers from both sides argued fiercely for hours. While that was happening, Darren sat quietly among the audience, staring at Bonnie from afar.

He noticed that she had lost a lot of weight and looked somewhat miserable. Even though he had paid someone on the inside to take care of her, a cold cell was still too harsh of a place for a young girl like her to be in.

After a while, Bonnie finally saw Darren across the room. When their eyes met, the two of them could tell how much they missed and loved each other.

No words were spoken but they instantly understood each other's thoughts. Time spent away from her had also caused Darren to lose some weight. The dark circles around his eyes were clearly visible to anyone from afar. At that moment, Bonnie knew in her heart that Darren had tried his best to save her.

Unfortunately, no matter how powerful a man Darren was, he still had to abide by the law.

In the end, after countless hours of stressful deliberation, they lost the case. Bonnie was ordered to go to prison and await her sentencing.

Darren was obviously pissed. But seeing the love of his life was more important at that moment. As soon as he walked out of the courtroom, he immediately called some people in order to set up a visit with Bonnie in prison. He had to, because right now, he couldn't bear not being with her anymore.

The thought of how much she has suffered and was about to suffer shattered Darren's heart into pieces. The pain felt like a sharp knife had been stabbed through his chest.

After a few hours, Darren drove to the prison where Bonnie was being kept. He arrived just a few minutes after the truck transporting her got there. Fortunately, his request to visit her was quickly approved. He felt a bit excited when he realized that he was finally going to be able to hear her voice again.

Bonnie was taken out of her cell and brought to the visitor's area of the prison. Her guard placed her on a chair in front of Darren. A small table separated the two.

Before walking out of the door, the guard handcuffed Bonnie's wrists and ankles. When he was finished, he left and stood outside the door.

“The visit will be thirty minutes, starting now.“

This was the first and last sentence the prison guard said before closing the door.

“You look pale.“ Bonnie spoke first since Darren looked even more miserable than she did. In her mind, he didn't have to feel so bad since he hadn't done anything wrong to her.

The more she tried to comfort Darren, the sadder he seemed to get.

“Why are you acting like this? Why did you turn yourself in? You should've just scolded me instead! Shouldn't you be blaming me right now?“ Darren suddenly started asking questions in a resentful voice. He was a bit irritated that Bonnie had turned herself in. But deep down, his anger came from the fact that he wasn't able to rescue her at all.

Bonnie tried her best to hold back her tears. But seeing the man she loved in so much pain was too much to handle. As soon as she opened her mouth to speak, she began crying.

“Because I believe in you. You promised me that you would save me and I know you won't let me down. Even now, I still believe that you'll get me out of here.“

Darren was moved by Bonnie's earnest words. He held her handcuffed hands to show how much he loved her. He didn't let go until it was time for her to leave.

Nearing the end of the visit, Bonnie couldn't help herself from asking about the man who was supposed to replace her.

Darren carefully explained in response, “Jacob paid that man to stay hidden. He even hired him in his own company under an alias. He's been protecting that man so much that it's been impossible to find him. Nevertheless, I'll make sure Jacob hands him over so you can finally get you out of here as soon as possible.“

Hearing this, Bonnie nodded with tears running down her cheeks. Heaving a sigh, she said, “Darren, I need you to keep this a secret from my family. I can't let them know that I've been sent to prison. Especially my mother. She's very sickly, and if she finds out about this, I'm afraid it will only make her condition worse.“
