Rosalyn let out another sigh.
If she had not chosen to lie to Jim about Bonnie having only seven days left to live, he would not have
summoned Christopher back to Merchant City out of desperation.
If Christopher had not returned, he would not have gone crazy, and Sean would not have gotten hurt as
a result.
This was all her fault.She had been too arrogant, thinking that she could control everything and make
Jim realize his true feelings toward Bonnie.
However, she had neglected to consider that Jim had other ways of dealing with things that were
different from her own.
Not only that, but she never thought Christopher would ignore her advice and return to Merchant City
without notifying anyone and even trigger a psychotic episode.
"You were just trying to help,"
Joshua sighed and tried to reassure Rosalyn, seeing that she was starting to feel guilty once more.
"Things had gotten out of hand, and it wasn't your fault at all.Thankfully, we managed to gain control of
the situation before anything terrible happened.Besides, even though Sean has been injured..."
He paused for a moment before continuing, "This is the first time he has ever admitted, in public, to be
Jim's brother, and Jim had also finally accepted this.
"In a way, this is a blessing in disguise."
Luna nodded in agreement.
"That's right! Besides, Sean is still young and can recover quickly from this.As for Christopher...I'm sure
we'll be able to keep his condition under control."
Rosalyn sighed once more upon hearing this but did not reply.
All of a sudden, Luna's phone rang.
It was from Nellie.
"Mommy, I've already made a huge pot of the cauliflower herb soup you wanted me to make.It's about
to turn cold soon, so when will you come and take it?"
Luna smacked her forehead in realization.
What happened at the church had been so mortifying that she had forgotten all about the soup she had
assigned Nellie to cook before leaving the house.
June was the one who had taught Nellie to brew this soup, and Nellie had picked up on June's recipe in
the process.
Initially, Luna had wanted to use this in an attempt to rouse Christopher out of his psychotic state snap
him back to reality.
However, at the church, Jim had sent Christopher straight to the mental asylum...
Luna furrowed her brows and replied, "I'll come home right now, Nellie."
After hanging up, she immediately glanced at Joshua.
Joshua nodded.
"June and Harvey are on their way to my house right now, too, so why don't we try bringing the soup to
the mental asylum for Christopher together?"
Luna nodded in agreement.
"Alright!"
With that, the two of them bade Charles and Rosalyn farewell and returned to the house.
As soon as they entered the front door, they could hear the sound of a girl crying.
Thinking it was Nellie, Luna quickly sprinted into the room.
"What's wrong?"
However, after entering the living room, she realized that it was not Nellie at all but June, sobbing on
the sofa.Her head was buried in a cushion, her shoulders shuddering in fits of sobs.
Harvey was sitting next to her, holding her hand as he patted her shoulder reassuringly with the other.
"Don't worry, June.Uncle Christopher is still your father; he's just temporarily lost his rationality because
of some traumatic events, that's all."
