"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." All of a sudd
"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.
Jim gestured at the doctor not to say anything, then turned around to shoot Sean a cold look. "Weren't you prepared to leave? What's wrong? Are you trying to eavesdrop on my fiancee's personal information?"Sean furrowed his brows. "Jim Landry!"He could not believe that Jim would rather ask the doctor to stop and spite him than listen to what the doctor had to say about Bonnie's condition!How dare Jim even claim to love Bonnie? How dare he even deny that he was the one who tried to harm her?"Security!" Jim sneered, waving at the security guards in the distance. "Please take this man away!"As soon as he said this, the guards stormed over and lifted Sean by his arms. "Sir, please come with us!""Jim Landry!" Sean was staring daggers at him as the guards surrounded him. "All I wanted was to know how Bonnie was doing and if she's alright!"Was it wrong of him to do this? Was he not allowed to find out how the woman he loved was doing because of a dispute between them?"That's r
The doctor was a little puzzled by this.He glanced first at Sean, then at Jim.The two of them looked so alike that they could easily pass off as brothers, but if they were really brothers…why were they so hostile toward each other?"I'm telling you, I'm the second and youngest son of Mr. Charles Landry and Ms—" Sean furrowed his brows and paused in his tracks.Rosalyn quickly jumped in to save him, smiling. "My name is Rosalyn Lawson.""That's right." Sean let out a slight cough. "I'm the second and youngest son of Mr. Charles Landry and Ms. Rosalyn Lawson."Then, he lifted his head to stare coldly at the doctor. "Jim has already made it clear that I'm not allowed to be given information about Bonnie because I'm not a member of the Landry family, but you've now already confirmed that I am. Not only that, but I have Charles and Rosalyn to vouch for me, so are you still unwilling to disclose any information to me?"The doctor paused, then immediately shifted his gaze to Jim.Ji
"Did you just say that I might be able to come to a diagnosis if I check on Bonnie myself?"Joe nodded vehemently. "That's right, Rosalyn. None of us managed to come to a conclusion until now. We can't seem to find any signs of her being poisoned, but at the same time, it's almost undeniable that she was indeed poisoned…"We have truly come to our wits' end, which was why we had no choice but to ask you for help."Rosalyn paused for a moment, then replied, "Alright."Then, she made her way toward Bonnie's room."I'll come with you, Mother." Rosalyn had just taken a few steps when Jim leaped forward and grabbed hold of Rosalyn's arm. "You're still very weak, so let me help you."Sean immediately furrowed his brows upon hearing this.He knew that he should have pretended not to see this and slid away in silence, but…He did not feel like leaving just yet.Since Jim was allowed to escort Rosalyn into Bonnie's ward, he, as "Rosalyn's youngest son," was allowed to do the same!At
