This has been a recurring theme in the past and even in the present.
In the past, Charles had been so devastated by Lucy's 'death' that he neglected his career when the fate of Landry Group was in his hands.
Rosalyn was the one who had supported the weight of the family business on her shoulders, and while she was doing this, she had been forced to face Granny Lynch's wrath and even had to spend most of her spare time formulating the drug to keep Charles' moods stable.
While he was in his psychotic state, Charles never understood her and instead thought of her as a stupid imbecile who had to stick her nose into everyone else's business.
However, by the time he finally calmed down, he could not help feeling guilty about how he had treated her.
If it were not for Rosalyn...neither he nor the Landry family would be where they were at this day.
He owed her too much.
Therefore, he could not bear to see her blaming herself for other people's mistakes and could not bear to see her worrying about him anymore.
He held her close to him and said, "You've done all you could, so please don't blame yourself for this."
The warmth of Charles' skin made Rosalyn let out a bitter chuckle. "I just can't help feeling that...if I had done something more, you probably would've been able to see her and be reunited with her before she died."
After all, Lucy was the woman Charles loved the most.
Even though Charles claimed he had moved on from Lucy, he still could not deny how much Lucy meant to him.
Besides, she was also Jim’s birth mother.
