Chapter 2236

Author: Inked Snow
Jim chuckled. "Did I push the blame to your sister, or is it the other way around?"

Jim glanced at Nikki's tear-stained face. "Ah, that's right. What did you say? You don't want to go to the police station to remember the memory of when you were raped, do you?

"Nikki Wheeler, have you truly been taken advantage of by a man?"

The words from Jim slammed Sean's heart like a sledgehammer. He lifted his head and glared at Jim angrily. "What did you say?"

Filled with unadulterated rage, Sean let go of Nikki and rushed over to grab Jim by his collar, his eyes burning with fury. "You locked Bonnie in the car, and I had to go rescue her. That's how my sister got raped! You were the perpetrator in this! How dare you speak like this? Jim Landry, are you a human being at all?!"

Jim narrowed his eyes and sneered, "I'm not a human being?"

He looked at Nikki. "I'm sure you know very well if I was telling the truth."

Jim's intense domineering gaze was too much for Nikki to handle, so she uncons

    "Don't worry." Sean swore that he would protect Nikki this time. "Even if the cops are here, we have nothing to fear since we didn't do it, so…"Before Sean could even finish his sentence, the cops approached them and showed Nikki their identification badge. "Ms. Wheeler, we have evidence to prove that you've committed the crime of a murder attempt on Ms. Bonnie Craig, as well as raping Mr. Terry Simmons. We're authorized to arrest you. Please cooperate with us."Sean was flabbergasted to have heard this. He paused and looked at the cops incredulously and subconsciously stood before them, shielding Nikki. "H—Have you made a mistake?"Nikki was the victim, was she not? It was Jim who had hurt Nikki, and Terry was the one who had stolen Nikki's innocence, no?Why was the police saying otherwise?"Sir, without proper and solid evidence, we wouldn't arrest anyone," answered one officer sternly. "If you're the relevant party, then we're allowed to show you the evidence. Otherwise, plea

    Jim paused upon hearing that voice. Sean might not know whose voice that was, but Jim was more than familiar with it.As Jim spaced out momentarily, Sean's fist slammed right into his face, and it was obvious how much strength was put into that swing. Sean had given his all.Blood oozed out of Jim's nose as he staggered a few steps back before he regained his footing."Jim!" Breaking free from Charles' support, Rosalyn ran toward Jim. However, her body was too weak to support herself, her legs failing her just after running for a few steps before she fell to the floor, her face slammed in the process.She got up on her feet soon after and ran toward Jim as though it did not even faze her."Jim! Are you alright?" asked Rosalyn.Assistant Coleman was there to support Jim, too.Jim's vision was slightly blurred, yet he could make out how Rosalyn ran toward him worriedly. His heart felt hot and humid, as though it was summer after a downpour."Let me see it." Rosalyn ran toward Jim

    "You're much better than my father, I'll give you that."Sean then walked past Charles and was prepared to leave.Jim, who was quite far away, furrowed his eyebrows and looked at Sean.His heart began to race at that moment. He had not told Charles and Rosalyn about Lucy having survived the incident, despite everyone thinking she was dead. He was afraid that Sean would talk about Lucy and their familial status after telling Charles that Charles was better than his father.Sean, unexpectedly, said nothing else after that, but Charles grabbed Sean and squinted. "Your father isn't too bad, kiddo. Don't belittle yourself; you're too humble," spoke Charles, his voice gentle and sincere. "Something was special about you and your father that Lucy gave up on me and Jim."The hallway fell silent the moment these words were uttered. Both Jim and Sean looked at Charles with shock."Dad…" Jim gazed at Charles. "You…"Charles smiled. "Your mother and I found out about it. We know that all of

    "But…"Sean looked at Charles and then at Jim, who was a little further from him. "Mother abandoned both you and Jim! If…"He pursed his lips. "If Mother had just faced you and Jim, if she hadn't hidden herself, perhaps the Landry family and the Lynch family wouldn't have suffered such terrible losses."From Samuel's conversation with the others, Sean finally understood everything. The fight and feud between the Landry and Lynch families were rooted because of his mother, Lucy Hamilton. If she had only sought her memory and faced it bravely, perhaps both families would not be embroiled in much bitterness and tragedy like they were at present.After so many years, both families had collided many times in their business, and Colin was dead because of it. His mother was partly responsible for everything that had happened.Even with all this, Charles decided to forgive his mother so easily?"The past is in the past," said Rosalyn gently, smiling as she continued to wipe the blood awa

    "I'm sure Jim didn't mean to do this to you. Please don't hold this against him."Rosalyn handed the bottle of medicine she had been holding to Sean and added, "This analgesic is very good; I use it myself. If it still hurts after you get home, you should take a dose of this."A surge of warmth spread through Sean's heart at the sound of Rosalyn's soft, gentle voice. He paused for a moment before finally taking the bottle from her. "Thank… Thank you.""I hear that you and your sister live in a poor part of town." Charles let out a sigh. "If you don't mind, I'm willing to help you and your sister find someplace new to live, and I can help you find a new job too."After all, you're Lucy's son, and it would be a pity if you continue working as a mechanic."Finally, he added, "We also found out that your sister is sick, so if you ever need help in the future, feel free to come to us."Charles and Rosalyn's kind offer made Sean feel even more touched."This reminds me."

    "Nikki would never lie to me," Sean declared confidently, then proceeded to turn on the recording device.He wanted to know what 'evidence' the Landry family had come up with to brainwash him into believing Nikki was a bad person!Just as he was about to press 'play', the butler stopped him. "Mr. Wheeler, I think it'd be better if you listen to this in private. This place…"He glanced at the doctors and nurses that kept passing through the hallway. "This might not be the best place to listen to this recording."Sean shot him a cold glance. "What's wrong with listening to it right here?"He did not believe that Nikki would have done anything wrong. He was sure of it.He wanted to play this recording in front of the members of the Landry family so he could expose their lies right then and there. This would show them that he was not the gullible fool they thought he was!At the thought of this, Sean shoved the butler away and played the recording.A woman's coy voice and the sound

    Mr. Chapman had indeed sent a reliable man to help check on Nikki.Terry had been telling the truth; he had been coerced into this after all.Sean suddenly remembered the phone call he had received from Mr. Chapman, who had scolded him for being so cruel toward Terry when this had all been a misunderstanding.At that time, Sean had thought Mr. Chapman was a selfish man who was willing to twist the truth to help his favorite employee.He had said that this was not fair to Terry, but had it been fair for Nikki?At this point, however…Sean finally understood why Mr. Chapman had been so furious.It was because he had truly misunderstood Terry, and he had been blinded by Nikki's lies.He…He even allowed Luke Jones, the boyfriend of Bonnie's friend, to cut off Terry's private part.Sean closed his eyes and suddenly felt a weight on his heart, suffocating him and splitting his heart into pieces.The sounds coming out of the recording device were becoming more and more chaotic.R

    Sean's words made everyone freeze in shock.Not only that, but even Sean himself seemed utterly stunned by this.It was undeniable that he envied Jim for having such a kind, loving mother, but…Rosalyn was Jim's mother, so how could he call her that?Even though he and Jim were half-brothers, Rosalyn was not related to him at all!After a moment of pin-drop silence, the first person to regain her composure was Rosalyn.She curled her lips into a smile, staring at Sean. "I heard from Samuel that Lucy passed away when you were eleven. It's one thing to grow up without a parent and another thing entirely to find out that your beloved sister, the only family you knew, had been lying to you all this while…"You must be very lonely, aren't you?"She held Sean's hand and added, "If you don't mind, you and Jim can both be my sons from today onward."I never had a son of my own, and my only child is Luna. Even though I didn't give birth to him, I see Jim as my son, and you can be, too.

    At that, he looked at Gwen. "Actually…"Steven found himself unable to finish his sentence. After a long while, he shook his head and smiled. "Forget about it.""Steven…" Gwen looked at him, and her tears fell.Her heart was not made of stone. How could she not know Steven's feelings toward her?She was silent for a long while. In the end, she stood up and slowly walked over to Steven with arms opened wide. "Give me a hug."Steven hesitated for a while, but he still stood up.They hugged."Gwen." Steven hugged her thin figure. "I have to meet you earlier in the next life so I can compete fairly with my brother."Gwen nodded with tears streaming down her face. "Okay."They thus hugged once more. Minutes later…"He's gone," said Stefan.Tears kept falling.They hugged for a while longer before pulling apart. Gwen looked at Stefan with her tear-stricken face. He had tears on his face as well.She bit her lips and reached out to wipe his tears. "A—Are these tears…yours or his?

    The next day, Rachel flew from Merchant City to Sharnwick City to diagnose Anne's condition. Theo tagged along as well because he had another identity, Rachel's boyfriend."According to the report, Anne's condition is slowly recuperating." Rachel was relieved after assessing the report. "Although she is very weak, she is going to get better with lots of rest."There is nothing wrong with her vocal cords too. It could be a psychological thing that makes her lose her voice. A knot in her heart that causes it." She looked at Luna, then at John. "Considering all factors, I think that knot is Luna."Rachel continued, "John, I know Luna is the root cause of all these bad things. Being away from Luna, Joshua, and other people is going to guarantee a safer life for you and your family. But have you thought about it from Anne's point of view? Other than you and Sammie, she has her own life and her circle of friends. Never has she blamed Luna for what happened, yet you forced her to leave Lun

    It was almost a miracle for Anne to willingly leave the house just to visit him!Robyn, meanwhile, sobbed at the sight.The nurse who accompanied Anne to the ward was puzzled. What was going on with these people?She snuck her phone out of her pocket and took a photo of this surreptitiously. Then, she sent it into the nurse's group chat with the caption, [What a strange family I met today.]The nurses in the group chat began gossiping about this. One of them tagged a fellow nurse named Daisy and said, [Hey, isn't this the guy who saved the old man you're looking after? What a hero!]Daisy was, at this moment, walking into Andy's room to help him change his wound dressing. She saw the message but was not able to type on her keyboard to respond, so she recorded a voice message instead. "Yes, that's the man. What's wrong with his family? What are you guys talking about?"As soon as she finished her sentence, she lifted her head and finally realized that Andy was not there.Instead,

    Anne stared at John for a long time before forcibly smiling and told him in sign language, "Robyn didn't return after so long, so I got worried and came by to check on her.""Daddy, Aunt Robyn, are you two hugging?" Sammie asked, blinking innocently as she raised her head in curiosity.John and Robyn turned pale at this.It was understandable for such a young child like Sammie to misinterpret them as hugging, but what would Anne think of this?John leaped off the bed and staggered toward Anne. "Anne, it's just a misunderstanding…"However, he was still so weak that his legs could not hold up the full weight of his body at all, and he almost crumpled to the ground.Quick-witted Robyn managed to catch him before he could fall, but this gesture appeared once again rather intimate to both Anne and Sammie. Sammie furrowed her brow and asked rather indignantly, "Are you hugging again? Daddy, how can you hug Aunt Robyn like this when you've never even hugged Mommy and me like this befor

    When the nurse pushed Anne to John's ward, she overheard John and Robyn fighting from the door. The fight was about how John was anxious to return home because he was worried about Anne and Sammie.However, as someone who used to work as a nurse, Robyn knew John should not leave the hospital after being shot by a gun. At least, he needed to stay in the hospital and be observed for 24 hours to make sure that he was fine before leaving the hospital. If an infection happened, John's body would crash easily and he would become weak just like Anne.In the ward, John frowned and talked with a serious tone, "I'm really fine. Get me my clothes so I can go upstairs to thank Miss Andie and go back home immediately. If Anne knows that I'm hurt, she is going to worry. She will easily be suspicious since you haven't gone back home for a long time. What if she worries about me and brings Sammie to the hospital to look for me? Can you bear yourself even just thinking about it? She's weak and Sammie

    Sammie's soft and cute babyish voice melted Stefan's heart immediately. It had been quite some time since he actually put a smile on his face. "Hi, there. What's your name and how old are you?"Sammie tilted her head to look at Stefan's handsome face and smiled sweetly, "I'm Samantha but everyone calls me Sammie."Then she did not forget to introduce Anne to Stefan too. "This is my Mommy. Her name is Anne."At this point, Stefan had given all of his attention to Sammie and did not notice Sammie mentioned that her mother's name was Anne. He pinched Sammie's cheek and said, "Your Mommy is not feeling well. You have to be a good girl and take care of her, do you understand?"Sammie nodded seriously and said, "I will.""Alright, sir. I will bring them to where they want to go," the nurse saw Anne signing to her anxiously. She smiled and said, "Don't worry. I will take good care of them."The promise from the nurse gave an assurance to Stefan that they would be well taken off. He smil

    This was the first time Anne brought Sammie out. Ever since she escaped from death, she became a different person—a recluse and was afraid of the sun. This situation became even worse after she became mute.The last time she left the house was two weeks ago when she had to go for surgery.However, she worried about John. In the morning, Robyn told her John was hurt and needed to stay in the hospital to rest. However, she had a hard time believing what Robyn said.After spending so many years together with John, Anne reckoned she was the one who knew John the most. If it was a minor injury, John would never want to stay in the hospital. He cared too much about her and Sammie, so he never dared to let her worry about him. Therefore, it just did not sound reasonable if John would stay in the hospital because of a small injury.Furthermore, Robyn had not returned home since the morning, which was nearly three hours since she left the house. After much consideration, she decided to call

    Tara fell silent upon hearing this. She bit her lip nervously and shot Gwen a tentative glance. "I didn't mean to offend you, Gwen…" "I know." Gwen let out an exhale and interrupted Tara before she could finish, "I know you meant no harm, but I can't deny that this is something I'm still having trouble wrapping my head around. In the future, neither of you—even you, Luna—should bring this up again." Her love life was such a mess that not even she could unravel the ties, much less expect other people to understand. Tara pursed her lips and did not reply. Luna stared at Gwen in silence for a while before finally saying, "But you have to face this eventually, Gwennie. After all that you've been through with Luke, all of us hope for nothing but the best for the two of you. Even if you avoid it now, you'll have to face the truth eventually. Otherwise, are you planning on spending the rest of your life in this complicated relationship with Luke? Can you bear the thought of not being

    Stefan was mildly amused by the look on her face. He extended his arms out in a gesture of defeat and said, "I never intended on ratting you out to Joshua. You three spoke about these secrets in my presence." With that, he shot Andy a rather helpless look. "Don't you agree, sir?" Andy was surprised to be called out all of a sudden. "Of course!" Although Gwen and Luke had been together for a long time, Luke had never much cared for maintaining good relations with his future father-in-law. He always thought his relationship with Gwen did not concern anyone else outside of the two of them. Combined with the fact that Andy had done some hurtful things to Gwen in the past, Luke grew even more disdainful of his future father-in-law. Because of this, he had never given Andy as much as a second glance throughout their relationship and rarely ever addressed him directly like this. The truth was, Stefan had already called out to Andy once before, during their rescue mission the day befor
