Rosalyn’s words made Jim’s vision go dark.He immediately took a step back, suddenly feeling as though
his entire body had gone limp.
Joe quickly grabbed him before he could fall.
“Are you okay, Master Landry?” Jim shook his head
The moment he heard Rosalyn say that he should brace himself for the worst, Jim felt as though all the
strength in his body had been zapped away.
Did Bonnie…only have seven days left to live?
“Nikki was right about the poison, and unfortunately, I don’t have a cure for it as of now.” Rosalyn shot
Jim a somewhat pained look, then sighed and added, “Jim, I know it’s terrible news for you to hear,
but…”
She closed her eyes.
“Our fates have been written in the stars, and not even the best doctors can save someone who already
has one foot in the coffin. Besides…”
She lifted her head to stare at him. “Bonnie’s will to survive is severely deprived now, and if her will to live
were stronger, she might have a fighting chance.”
Then, she lowered her head and continued, “I’ll try my best to come up with the antidote for her within
these seven days….but I need Christopher’s help in this.” She lifted her head to meet Jim’s gaze.
“As for this…I need you to make a choice.
“Christopher is currently in the middle of formulating an antidote for the drug that caused you to lose your
memories, and if we were to take him away in the middle of his research…”
“My memories aren’t as important as Bonnie’s life.” Jim let out an exhale and lifted his head to meet
Rosalyn’s gaze head-on.
“I’ll send someone to bring Christopher over from Lincoln City.”
Then, he turned and strode to the end of the hallway to make the call. Charles stared at Jim’s retreating
figure for a moment, then turned to shoot Rosalyn a meaningful glance.
“Are you sure…telling him this won’t backfire?”
Rosalyn narrowed her eyes as she glanced at Jim, then looked back at Charles.
“Do you have a better idea of what to do besides this?”
Charles fell silent for a moment, then reached out to take Rosalyn’s in his. “I trust you. Every choice
you’ve made has turned out to be the right one.”
Rosalyn curled her lips into a smile and sighed. “As soon as we settle the problem with Jim, we’ll visit
Lucy’s grave together. After all…” She gripped Charles’ hand tightly.
“You’ve been missing her for so many years now.”
Charles fell silent once more.
A split second later, he let out a bitter chuckle.
“Alright.”
Even though everything Samuel told them that day had utterly destroyed every ounce of
longing he had toward Lucy–the woman he thought had been loyal to him-she was still his first love and
had been a significant part of his teenage memories
Therefore, he had to say goodbye to her, no matter what. At the thought of this, Charles sighed and
clutched Rosalyn’s hand even tighter.
“Thank you, Rosalyn.”
When they first got married, he had been resentful of Rosalyn. He had thought of her as an annoying
pain in his ass.
After Lucy died, his life had lost all meaning, and so what if he had a future ahead of him? So what if the
Lynch family were after them?
He did not care about any of this. All he wanted was to die so that he could finally be reunited with Lucy
in heaven and beg for her forgiveness. However, every time he tried to take his life, Rosalyn stopped
him.
