Will You Marry Me, My Ex-Wife? novel Chapter 2281

"I believe you."

"Luna, Joshua!" Just as the two of them were immersed in their conversation, Charles lifted his head to hand Rosalyn the peeled apple and, in doing so, caught sight of them.

A trace of a smile spread across his face as he called out, "When did you guys arrive? Why aren't you coming inside to greet us? How come you're hiding in a corner like young lovers?"

Rosalyn, too, lifted her head to glance in her direction when she heard this. She grinned when she caught sight of her daughter and son-in-law in each other's arms. "Alright, we all know how sweet you two are, so come join us now!" Blushing, Luna quickly removed Joshua's arms from her waist and headed in Rosalyn and Charles' direction.

However, she had just taken two steps when Joshua's hand clasped around hers. He quickly overtook her and dragged her along behind him as he strode into the backyard. "Luna saw the two of you enjoying your time together, so she didn't want to intrude. Why else would we not want to come say hi?"

Rosalyn smiled when she heard this and immediately shoved the peeled apple into Luna's hands. "Come, eat this. Your father and I have been together for so many years now, so we already get too much of each other than we want. There’s nothing that pleases us most than seeing you two happy!

Then, she could not help but sigh as she added, "After everything you've been through, I'm just glad that you managed to overcome your misunderstanding and find each other again. Jim, on the other hand..."

She closed her eyes as a helpless expression crept across her face. "All I wanted was for him and Bonnie to be happy, but I never thought things would end up like this.

"I had talked to him about summoning Christopher back before, but I thought he'd take my advice and not seek Christopher for help, knowing he was busy with his research. Not only that, but I even reminded Christopher not to get swayed by Jim's persuasion and fly home.

"When I talked to him, Christopher had promised me he'd st

Rosalyn let out a bitter chuckle. "I can't help feeling bad for Sean. He's already suffered so much throughout his life, and I had just taken him under my wing, yet he's already gotten injured because of my mistake...

"This is all my fault."

Luna and Joshua exchanged a glance upon hearing this.

"Mother-in-law," Joshua said, lifting his head to stare solemnly at Rosalyn. "There's just one thing I can't seem to understand, that is..."

He let out an exhale and continued, "What is the drug that Nikki injected into Bonnie's body? Did you somehow manage to administer an antidote for Nikki's poison in time, then inject a different drug into Bonnie's body, causing her to go into a coma?"

Rosalyn paused for a moment, then shook her head, smiling. "I didn't; I had simply used Nikki's scheme to my advantage.

"The drug that Nikki administered to Bonnie wasn't poison at all, but simply a medication that would rejuvenate all the organs in her body but then put her to sleep for seven days.

"I had already noticed this the day I first visited Bonnie, so I decided to feed her another medicine that would bypass the first few steps and instead put her to sleep immediately.

"The reason I know this is because I was the one who formulated the 'poison' that Nikki used."
