"You don't have to blame yourself for what happened to Bonnie, Mother," Jim interrupted Rosalyn
before she could even finish her sentence.
His gaze became distant as he continued, "I know that you were the one who produced the poison that
landed Bonnie in this coma.
"Yesterday...I went to visit Nikki at the police station in secret, and she revealed that my mother Lucy
had intended to use this poison to take her life.
"After coming out of the police station, I investigated the clinic from which Lucy got the poison, and I
discovered that...the doctor who gave her the drug was a friend of yours."
He turned to stare at Rosalyn.
"You were the one who produced the drug, weren't you, Mother?"
He let out a bitter chuckle and added, "I should've guessed.Who else in Merchant City would be
capable of producing such a lethal poison apart from you, Mother? "Still, you had no idea that the
doctor had requested this poison from you on Lucy's behalf, and you didn't know that Lucy would have
a change of heart and choose not to take it in the end...
"In a twist of fate, the poison ended up killing the woman I love the most.
"Perhaps this had been written in the stars; perhaps this was the price I had to pay in return for your
many years of unconditional love."
Jim turned to stare at Rosalyn's pale face.
"However, I don't blame you.No matter what you did, you would do it with only good intentions, and I'm
sure that when you first manufactured this drug, you never thought it would end up in Nikki's hands."
Rosalyn bit her lip when she heard this.
"Actually, Jim—"
"Actually, Mother-in-law had been stricken by guilt over this,"
Joshua interjected, smiling.
"She's been trying to think of a way to apologize to you and Bonnie."
He lowered his head and contemplated for a moment before finally lifting his head to meet Jim's gaze
with a smile.
"If I remember correctly, Bonnie has a few days left, and I'm thinking that on the day of her death, we
should host a small, intimate wedding for you two at Mansion, where she can put on the most beautiful
dress and leave this world in the company of friends and family..."
Joshua narrowed his eyes and stared at Jim.
"What do you think?"
Jim fell silent for a moment, then nodded.
"That sounds like a good idea.I want to hold her in my arms and let her leave that way, but I hope that
in the next life..."
He curled his lips into a bitter smile.
"In another life, I hope she loses her memories and becomes me, whereas I take her place.I never
want to see her suffer and get her heart broken over me anymore."
Luna's chest tightened upon hearing this, and she instinctively lifted her head to stare at the man
before her.
At this moment, she could finally associate the man standing before her with the memory of her kind,
loving brother.
It was as though after so long, Jim had gradually returned to his old self before he lost his memories.
"Alright, we'll go with it."
Seeing that Jim had agreed to his idea, Joshua nodded and turned to glance at Luna.
"I'll leave this to you.” Luna nodded.
"I'll take care of this."
She knew that Joshua had deliberately interrupted Rosalyn's confession to suggest the idea of hosting
a wedding on the day of Bonnie's ‘death’.
She knew what Joshua had intended to do; he was hoping that the first thing Bonnie would see when
she came out of her coma was her lying in Jim's arms in a wedding dress.
That way, this would be a memory that neither Bonnie nor Jim would ever forget.
"Alright.Thank you, Luna."
Rosalyn had also understood Joshua's intention and nodded in agreement.
"This can be my way of apologizing to you and Bonnie over my past mistake, Jim."
