Outside the ICU.
Jim and Christopher stood outside the glass window and watched the two women inside the room.
At this moment, Rosalyn was holding Luna's hand and crying, telling her about the pain and misery she had suffered without her daughter by her side.
Luna, on the other hand, listened intently with her head lowered. Her back was facing them, so neither Jim nor Christopher could see the expression on her face.
However, they could tell from the faint twitching of her back that she, too, was feeling emotional over this reunion.
Christopher furrowed his brows and patted Jim's shoulder. "You couldn't help yourself in the end."
Jim pursed his lips and nodded.
Truth be told...he had never intended to let Luna return to the Landry family since the start.
On the one hand, he could tell how important Joshua meant to her and knew that Joshua, too, would do anything for Luna. Therefore, he did not want to separate them because of their family's rivalries.
On the other hand...
As the son of Charles and Lucy, he knew how emotionally tormenting and helpless it felt to be put through a situation like this, so as soon as he thought o f Luna and Joshua’s three children.
He could not bear to put them through the same situation.
As a member of both their families, Jim hoped above all else that Luna and Joshua would live happily ever after, without any knowledge or regard of their family’s rivalries, but...
In the end, he had given in to the debt of gratitude he owed to Rosalyn, the woman who had raised him for more than 20 years.
If Rosalyn's time had really come to an end, he did not wish for her to leave this world with regrets, to die without ever having met her real daughter.
Christopher let out a sigh and said, "You knew that-"
Before he could finish his sentence, the elevator doors slid open.
