Jim's declaration made Charles and Rosalyn exchange a nervous glance.
Rosalyn let out an exhale and fixated her earnest gaze on Jim's face. "Jim, you have to really consider this. You've refused when I wanted you to marry Bonnie, and now that she's ended up like this...
"As your parents, we don't want you to go through the pain of losing a loved one not long after getting married, and besides..."
She sighed. "Now that Bonnie is still in a coma, how can you obtain a certificate of marriage with her?"
"I'll take care of this." Jim fell silent for a moment, then lifted his head to meet his mother's gaze. "I'll find a solution to whether Bonnie can obtain a marriage certificate in her comatose state. As long as I get your approvaL.none of this will be a problem."
Charles paused when he heard this and instinctively glanced at Rosalyn.
A split second later, he let out an exhale and replied, "Jim, you should know that as your parents, we'd rather you have a happy and complete family, not this.
"What if Bonnie doesn't survive after seven days? How are you going to find Harvey another mother?"
"Bonnie is Harvey's mother, and if she dies, I'm sure that Harvey won't want to have a new mother, either." Jim sighed. "All I need is your approval, and the rest won't be a problem."
"You..." Rosalyn sighed. "Are you certain?"
Jim nodded solemnly. "Yes, I'm certain." Previously, he had promised Harvey he would marry Bonnie only because she was Harvey's birth mother, but at this moment, he knew what he truly felt.
Just a few minutes ago, when Rosalyn declared that Bonnie might not be able to survive, it was the first time Jim ever felt suffocated.
At the thought of this, Jim let out a deep sigh =c'
