Jim’s voice faltered as he stared at the space in front of him, “She was alive all this while…”
His mother, Lucy, had been alive.
She had been living in the same city as he was all this while, but even until her death, she had never
attempted to see him at all, much less reclaim him!
Jim’s body started to shake at the thought of this.
When he was a child, he thought Rosalyn was his mother, and because of this, he had always been
content with his life.
However, after discovering that he was not Rosalyn and Charles’ son, he started secretly trying to track
down his birth mother.
The reason he had agreed to help Harvey search for his birth mother was that he did not want Harvey
to end up a motherless child like him. However, no matter how hard he tried, Jim could not find any
trace of his mother’s true identity.
It was only after Rosalyn volunteered this information that he finally found out the truth.
Rosalyn had been honest with him about everything, including how jealous she had been of Lucy in the
past.
That night, Jim had gotten himself drunk.
He thought he did not have a mother because Lucy died in an accident.
Until now…after watching the video that Lucy had recorded, Jim suddenly understood that his mother
had not died after all, but she refused to reclaim and reunite with him!
A self-deprecating smile crept across Jim’s face at the thought of this, “It turns out I’m the biggest loser
of all.”
Luna furrowed her brows when she heard this.
“Jim…you’re not a loser. Aunt Lucy had no choice.”
“She had no choice?” Jim interrupted her curtly.
“Just because she fell in love with the man who took care of her and didn’t want to return to my father’s
side, she had no choice but to abandon me? Or are you saying that she abandoned me because she
didn’t want to face her Past?”
Jim shook her head, smiling bitterly.
“No matter how many reasons you give, none of them will be enough to justify her abandoning and
giving up on me. The fact is, she didn’t want me anymore, and that’s the cold, hard truth!”
Luna furrowed her brows bit her lip nervously. She wanted to say something further, but Joshua
grabbed her wrist and shook his head, indicating that she should not continue.
Luna paused for a moment, then finally sighed and stayed silent. She knew that as Joshua’s wife, she
should not be saying anything to aggravate Jim’s anger,but…She was not just Joshua’s wife, but Jim’s
sister too.
Even though Jim had committed many mistakes after losing his memories, he was a good person deep
down, so how could she not feel pained by his sorrow?
“It’s okay.” Bonnie sighed when she sensed the tension between Jim and Luna, then walked over to
Jim’s side and gently grasped his hand.
To her surprise, his usually warm hand was, at this moment, as cold as ice. Her chest tightened, and
she bit her lip as she reached her other hand out to clasp his in hopes that this warmth and proximity
would reassure him.
No matter how many unfortunate things happened between them, she could not help wanting to
console him in his time of need.
When he felt Bonnie’s warmth on his skin, Jim let out a bitter chuckle and pushed her away.
He did not need her sympathy.
Just a few minutes before, she had been arguing with him and claiming that she never agreed to marry
him, yet at this moment, she was offering herself to him in solace. Did she take pity on him and think he
needed more love and sympathy? No, he did not need anyone’s sympathy! At the thought of this, Jim
sneered and stood up.
“I never thought that the joke would be on me in the end.”
He let out a self-deprecating chuckle and added, “Thank you – all of you-for making me realize what a
loser I am.”
