"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. 1
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, D r. Rachel exhaled and started explaining the situation t o 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 t o 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.
