Chapter 1740
“Mother will wake up soon.”
Even though Rosalyn was not his birth mother, the amount of love and affection she had shown toward him was not less than that of a birth mother.
Not only that, but she had treated him even better than how she treated Heather, whom she had always thought was her biological daughter until they finally found Luna.
When he saw Charles finally admitting his love toward Rosalyn, Jim felt a weight lift off his shoulders.
He guessed that if Lucy, his birth mother and Charles’ first love in his lifetime, were to see this, she would probably be happy too.
Luna and Jim remained in the room as they watched their parents for more than half an hour.
They finally left when Theo knocked on the door, telling them that Dr. Rachel wanted to speak to them.
“Your mother’s condition is a little more complex than before.” As soon as Jim and Luna entered the room, Dr. Rachel exhaled and started explaining the situation to them.” Previously, her will to survive has been extremely strong, and according to my estimation, she would’ve been able to wake up within a week.
“However, what happened last night damaged her will to survive so much that she almost lost her life.
“Thankfully, your father’s appearance finally stabilized her condition, but that’s only that. As for when she will wake up…”
Dr. Rachel let out an exhale and stared at the two of them. “It’ll take a little while longer.
“On top of that, I suggest you let your father stay here to receive treatment for his illness.
“On one hand, I have some friends who specialize in psychiatry, and they can help look after him, but on the other hand…”
Dr. Rachel let out a deep sigh. “I’m worried that if something like this were to happen again, your father won’t be able to make it here in time all the way from Merchant City.”
Luna and Jim exchanged glances when they heard this. A split second later, they both nodded unanimously.
Leaving Charles here would be beneficial to both him and Rosalyn.
Charles had stopped shouting and wailing for Rosalyn as soon as he arrived here, maybe because even in his psychotic state, he still knew that he had to take care of Rosalyn’s feelings
and therefore stopped making any loud noises that would scare her.
“Can I know what happened last night that made my mother’s condition deteriorate so quickly?” Jim asked with a frown.
The color drained from Dr. Rachel’s face when she heard this. She let out an exhale and showed them the surveillance footage from the night before. “This man’s name is Quentin, and he claims to be Mrs. Landry’s brother from Merchant City, and he wanted to see her last night.
“Initially, I had rejected his request, but he was capable of describing some physical features o f Mrs. Landry’s that no ordinary people would know and was even familiar with her familial situation.”
Dr. Rachel rubbed her temples in frustration and continued, “I had wanted to contact Luna about this, but I knew that she couldn’t answer me after being drugged. On top of that, this man seemed sincere, and he even offered to let my assistants search him for dangerous weapons…so I agreed to let him visit her.
“Also, I had been watching the entire process through the surveillance camera while he was inside the room with Mrs. Landry, and her condition deteriorated immediately after he left.”
Dr. Rachel closed her eyes. “It’s all my fault. If any of you are displeased with this, feel free to reprimand me; I know I deserve this.”
After being a doctor for so long, she still could not stop herself from empathizing with other people and would still get tricked by people because of this.
This was the reason why she refused to work in a hospital and would rather set up her own research facility.
Luna and Jim exchanged glances.
Neither of them wanted to blame Dr. Rachel for this incident.
Jim eyed the man in the surveillance footage carefully, but he could not recall any siblings of Rosalyn’s, no matter how hard he tried.
Even after checking the web, he still could not find out who this man named Quentin was.
Just as Luna and Jim were puzzling over this, Joshua strode into the room, holding his phone.” I know who he is.”
