"After Samuel saved me, I lost my memories, and despite him wanting to help me regain my old memories, I refused to let him do so.
"I didn't have the courage to face my past, nor was I willing to come to terms with the hurt I've caused other people, but most importantly..."
Lucy Hamilton sighed and continued, "I broke my vows and fell in love with Richard, the man who took care of me.
Because of this, I wasn't willing to return to Charles, the husband with whom I had no memories. That's why..."
She closed her eyes. "For the sake of my happiness, as well as me and Richard's son, Sean . I chose to become an irresponsible mother.
"Even though I had been living in Merchant City all this while, I had never reached out to my son. I never even gave him so much as a hug."
Lucy sniffed and wiped the tears from her cheeks. "I can't express how sorry I am for being such a coward. I didn't have the courage to face my past and regain my old memories. If..."
She lifted her head to stare straight at the camera. "Jim, Sean, if one day, either of you happens to end up in a similar situation as me, I hope that you won't make the same mistake I did and choose to hide from the truth."
Bonnie furrowed her brows at this and instinctively glanced in Jim's direction.
At this moment, Jim was staring dazedly at the video projected on the wall. The light reflected on his handsome face, making his features appear even more striking.
Suddenly, he frowned and turned his head in Bonnie’s direction as though he had felt her gaze.
Their eyes met.
Bonnie's entire body stiffened, then quickly turned her head away to avoid his gaze.
She looked like a startled little rabbit.
Jim curled his lips into a small smile and resumed watching the video on the wall.
