She lifted her head to stare at the room which the screams had come from, her gaze full of doubt and
confusion. “Is that…Father?”
She refused to accept or believe this.
Charles was in his late fifties and was about to turn sixty soon, but this scream…
Jim let out a sigh and glanced at Luna, smiling bitterly.
“He has relapsed, and this is what he had become ever since he ran out of the medication that Mother
had made for him.”
With that, Jim let out an exhale and pushed open the door.
Inside the room, Charles was sitting in a corner, dressed in a striped patient’s gown and clutching his
blanket in his arms. “Rosalyn, Rosalyn, I’m going to bring you home now. I’m going to bring you home
now…
“Don’t be scared; we’re going home right now!
“Get away from me! Don’t you dare touch my Rosalyn!”
Luna stared at the scene before her in shock and could not help feeling like crying all of a sudden.
She did not expect that…this would happen after just two days of her being in jail.
How could Charles, who had initially been doing fine, suddenly turn into a crazed old man in just two
days?
Luna lifted her hand to cover her mouth as tears slid down her face. She turned to stare at Jim. “How
long has he been in this state?”
“Well, he ended up like this ever since you were captured, but it kept fluctuating, and he wasn’t always
like this, but last night, when he went out for a walk outside the house, he suddenly lost control and
ended up like this.”
With that, Jim sighed and continued, “The butler said that Father has been in this state ever since my
birth mother passed away, but at that time, Father kept calling out Lucy’s name, and now, he’s calling out
for Rosalyn instead.”
Jim reached out to pat Luna’s shoulder in reassurance and said in a low voice, “Mother always used to
say that no one could replace Lucy’s place in Father’s heart, and Father had always treated her coldly
too, but it seems now that…
“After two decades of companionship, Mother has now become the most important person to him.
Otherwise, why would he be calling out her name over and over now?”
Luna bit her lip and dug her fingernails into her palms.
Mother would probably be delighted to find out about this if she were still conscious.
On second thought, no, she would not.
Rosalyn would surely rather Charles never relapse again and be able to live life like a normal person
instead of finding out about his true feelings for her.
After all, this was what she had been working toward for more than 20 years.
As soon as she thought of this, Luna closed her eyes and let out a bitter chuckle. “Have you found a
psychiatrist?”
Jim nodded. “Yes, but no one has any idea how to treat this.
“Father is a stubborn person, and as long as all these things are etched in his mind, he will never be able
to forget about them.”
Luna let out another bitter chuckle.
Maybe she had inherited her loyalty from Charles after all.
Seeing that Luna could not stop crying, Jim let out a sigh and patted her shoulder once more.” Things
will get better soon.
“Mother is going to get well soon, and when she does, Father will recover, too.
“The only thing we can do now is take good care of Landry Group while they’re sick and wait for them to
return to us.”
Luna nodded in reply.
As children, there was nothing much she and Jim could do for their parents, and if they could not even
take good care of Landry Group while Charles and Rosalyn were gone…
How could they even face them again in the future?
As soon as she thought of this, Luna let out an exhale and gripped Jim’s arm tightly. “Don’t worry, Jim; I
won’t be distracted by anything else anymore.”
Since her father had passed the company over to them before he relapsed, she would not disappoint him
