Chapter 2283


    This has been a recurring theme in the past and even in the present.


    In the past, Charles had been so devastated by Lucy''s ''death‘ that he neglected his career when the


    fate of Landry Group was in his hands.


    Rosalyn was the one who had supported the weight of the family business on her shoulders, and while


    she was doing this, she had been forced to face Granny Lynch''s wrath and even had to spend most of


    her spare time formting the drug to keep Charles'' moods stable.


    While he was in his psychotic state, Charles never understood her and instead thought of her as a


    stupid imbecile who had to stick her nose into everyone else''s business.


    However, by the time he finally calmed down, he could not help feeling guilty about how he had treated


    her.


    If it were not for Rosalyn...neither he nor the Landry family would be where they were at this day.He


    owed her too much.


    Therefore, he could not bear to see her ming herself for other people''s mistakes and could not bear


    to see her worrying about him anymore.He held her close to him and said, "You''ve done all you could,


    so please don''t me yourself for this."


    The warmth of Charles'' skin made Rosalyn let out a bitter chuckle.


    "I just can''t help feeling that...if I had done something more, you probably would''ve been able to see


    her and be reunited with her before she died."


    After all, Lucy was the woman Charles loved the most.


    Even though Charles imed he had moved on from Lucy, he still could not deny how much Lucy


    meant to him.


    Besides, she was also Jim''s birth mother.


    Therefore, Rosalyn could not help thinking that she had done something more and found out that Lucy


    was still alive, Jim would not have grown up without a single memory of his birth mother.


    "None of this matters anymore..."


    Charles sighed as he held her close to him.


    "She''s been living in Merchant City all this while, and if she had wanted to see me, she would''ve done


    so a long time ago.”


    "She had always known where to find Jim, yet she decided not to reim him, this is her choice.


    "Even if you had managed to get in touch with her and found out she was still alive, she probably


    wouldn''t have wanted to see me or Jim anyway."


    Rosalyn''s entire body stiffened when she heard this.


    A split secondter, she sighed and replied, "You''re right..."


    "This means that..."


    Joshua furrowed his brows in puzzlement.


    "Mother- inw, you had formted this drug for my Aunt Lucy in the past so that she would ''die'' and,


    in this process, realize just how much she needed her children and how much her children needed her.


    "However, she finally convinced herself to give up her suicidal ns and thus, didn''t use the drug at


    all.This was why this drug had ended up in Nikki''s hands after Aunt Lucy''s death, is that right? "


    Rosalyn removed herself from Charles'' grasp, let out a slight cough, then took a sip from her cup to


    hide her blushing face.


    "That''s probably how it went, yes.


    "Not only that but after Nikki was taken away, judging from the look on Jim''s face, he was fully


    convinced that Bonnie had been poisoned.I''m sure that this is because even Nikki believed, without a


    doubt, that this drug of her mother''s was poison.


    "However, neither of the doctors managed to identify what sort of drug Bonnie had been injected with,


    and coincidentally, Joe, one of the doctors attending her case, ran into me and asked me to take a


    look.


    "After looking through theb reports, I knew immediately that this was a drug of my invention, and


    that''s why...I lied to Jim, making him think Bonnie will die soon."


    Then, she closed her eyes with a bitter smile and said, "I just never thought my decision would backfire


    and wreak such havoc."This belongs to N?velDrama.Org - ?.
