“Well, if you trust me…”
Rosalyn let out an exhale. “I want to tell you the truth.”
She stared at Bonnie’s back and explained carefully, “I was the one who had created the drug that
Charlotte poisoned Jim with, so I know better than anyone how the drug works.
“Many years ago, I had invented this drug so that Charles could forget Lucy and not be subjected to so
much suffering after her death.
This drug works on the brain in a way that…erases all the memories of the most important things in
one’s life”
Bonnie’s entire body stiffened when she heard this.
She turned around slowly, staring at Rosalyn, and asked in a trembling voice, “What… What do you
mean, Mrs. Landry?”
“What this means is that…” Rosalyn sighed, rubbed her brows in exhaustion, and said with a hint of
guilt on her face, “Anyone who takes this drug will remember every detail of the things that don’t matter
to them but will not be able to remember even a single thing about the most important people and
things in their life.”
Then, she fixated her earnest gaze on Bonnie and added, “The reason he doesn’t remember you is
that…to him, you’re the person that matters the most.”
Bonnie stared at Rosalyn in disbelief, feeling as though someone had knocked her in the back of her
head with a hammer.
She found it hard to digest Rosalyn’s words.
The reason Jim could not remember her…was because she was the person that mattered the most to
him?
How was this possible?
“Bonnie, I know this is a hard pill to swallow.” Rosalyn sported a wane smile on her face.
“But think about it; I had created this drug for Charles, and the person that haunts him the most is the
love of his life, Lucy.
“He blamed himself for Lucy’s death, and he had been engulfed in grief and despair so severe that at
one point, he didn’t think his life was worth living. Every time his episode was triggered, he’d behave
like a madman.
“Everything I had done was for him, so how could I possibly have created a drug that would reinforce
the most important memories and instead make him forget about the unnecessary and insignificant
details?” Bonnie Paused.
Logically speaking… Rosalyn was right. She had created this drug for Charles, and Bonnie had known
this since the start, but she still found it hard to accept that the reason Jim did not remember her was
that she mattered too much to him.
This was absurd!
“You should blame me.” Rosalyn let out a sigh of remorse.
“I had developed this drug for Charles, but I regretted my decision at the last minute. “
I didn’t want him to forget the most important woman in his life. Even though she had been, at one
point, my competitor, she had given him the best and happiest memories in his life.
“To erase his memories of her would be to erase the happiest times of his life. I couldn’t bear to do this
to him.”
Then, she sighed and added, “However, it was my fault that I hadn’t destroyed the drug while I had the
chance, which gave Charlotte the opportunity to misuse it…” She lifted her head to stare earnestly at
Bonnie.
“Can you forgive me, Bonnie? Please, promise me that you’ll marry Jim. “To him, you’re the most
important person in his life.”
