“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. “Samuel has already filled me in on what happened in the past, and if one day, this
video does come to light…I wish to provide an explanation.
“The truth is, the vengeance between the Landry and Lynch families isn’t what it seems.
“Samuel had told me that the reason I had gotten into my incident all started when Charles attended a
business conference that was hosted by Rosalyn.
“Because I had just given birth to Jim, I wasn’t in the best of health mind, so I couldn’t help feeling that
Charles would cheat on me. Hence, I left home and sought out Samuel to help me catch Charles and
Rosalyn in their act.
“However, Samuel wasn’t willing to help me with this, which led to our argument, and subsequently, I
met Quentin…”
Lucy mustered an awkward smile and added, “Therefore, this was all my fault and had nothing to do
with Charles at all… As for everything that happened after this, I’m sure Samuel has
plenty of evidence to prove my point. Since I had lost my memories after that unfortunate event, and
I’m not willing to retrieve my memories, I have no account of what happened at all.
“Finally, the reason I decided to record this video is to tell everyone watching this right now that I didn’t
die in that incident after all, contrary to what everyone might think.
“I was rescued by Samuel and managed to survive. As of now, I’m living the life that I want-a poor but
happy one–and even gave birth to my second son, Sean.
“Unfortunately, I miscarried my third child because of Richard’s passing, but… I managed to adopt
Nikki, and I’m grateful she’s such a happy, adorable child.”
Then, she smiled and waved at the camera.
“I don’t have much time left, and to all of you watching this video many years from now, I sincerely
hope you won’t blame me for my selfishness and cowardice.
“I wish you all the best!” With that, the video ended.
The entire room fell silent. A split second later, Jim lifted his head and let out a bitter chuckle.
“This means that… She had given up on me even though she had survived, hadn’t she?”
