"Well, if you trust me...”
Rosalyn let out an exhale. "I want to tell you the truth."
She stared at Bonnie's back and explained carefully, "I was the one who had created the drug that Charlotte poisoned Jim with, so I know better than anyone how the drug works.
"Many years ago, I had invented this drug so that Charles could forget Lucy and not be subjected to so much suffering after her death.
"This drug works on the brain in a way that ...erases all the memories of the most important things in one's life."
Bonnie's entire body stiffened when she
heard this.
She turned around slowly, staring at Rosalyn, and asked in a trembling voice," What... What do you mean, Mrs. Landry?"
"What this means is that..." Rosalyn sighed, rubbed her brows in exhaustion, and said with a hint of guilt on her face, "Anyone who takes this drug will remember every detail of the things that don't matter to them but will not be able to remember even a single thing about the most important people and things in their life."
Then, she fixated her earnest gaze on Bonnie and added, "The reason he doesn’t remember you is that...to him, you're the person that matters the most."
Bonnie stared at Rosalyn in disbelief, feeling as though someone had knocked her in the back of her head with a hammer.
She found it hard to digest Rosalyn's words.
The reason Jim could not remember her... was because she was the person that mattered the most to him?
"Everything I had done was for him, so how could I possibly have created a drug that would reinforce the most important memories
