Jim paused upon hearing that voice.
Sean might not know whose voice that was, but Jim was more than familiar with it.
As Jim spaced out momentarily, Sean's fist slammed right into his face, and it was obvious how much
strength was put into that swing.
Sean had given his all.
Blood oozed out of Jim's nose as he staggered a few steps back before he regained his footing.
"Jim!"
Breaking free from Charles' support, Rosalyn ran toward Jim.
However, her body was too weak to support herself, her legs failing her just after running for a few
steps before she fell to the floor, her face slammed in the process.
She got up on her feet soon after and ran toward Jima s though it did not even faze her.
"Jim! Are you alright?" asked Rosalyn.
Assistant Coleman was there to support Jim, too.
Jim's vision was slightly blurred, yet he could make out how Rosalyn ran toward him worriedly.
His heart felt hot and humid, as though it was summer after a downpour.
"Let me see it."
Rosalyn ran toward Jim and held his hand, studying his nose.She took out a piece of tissue to wipe
away the blood from his nose, her eyebrows knitted together as she did.
"Do you feel anything else apart from your bleeding nose? Does your head hurt?"
Jim looked at Rosalyn's worried eyes, and his own eyes narrowed.He was not alone in this life after all,
was he? There were people who cared about him through it all.
For instance, Rosalyn was always there for him ever since he was a child, and she loved him dearly.
The woman who had a miscarriage and was still lying in bed, Bonnie, cared about him, too.
With these thoughts in mind, Jim sighed and grabbed Rosalyn's hand to stop her from wiping his nose.
"Mother..."
Rosalyn was startled when she heard Jim calling her.
After a while, she sighed and grabbed Jim's hand, "You silly child."
The warm sight of a mother doting on his son made Sean uncomfortable.He sneered and turned to
face another direction, wanting to leave this place.
There was not a minute more that he felt like staying nor pleased to see.
However, Charles stopped him just after he took a few steps.
"Where are you going?" asked Charles.
Sean paused looked at the man before him with an apathetic gaze.
'This must be Jim's biological father, and he's one of those that Mother felt guilty toward"
Sean frowned as he carefully studied the man in front of him.
He had already felt out of place when he stared at Rosalyn and Jim's intimate moment, and with
Charles standing before him...
Although Sean was unwilling to admit it, Charles was definitely a lot better and more talented than his
father, Richard.
Be it in terms of appearance or temperament, Charles was so far better off than his father, who worked
as a nurse.
Just one look had Sean feeling self-abased unconsciously.
The distance between him and Jim, as well as the distance between his father and Charles...
These were the gaps he could never cross in this life.
He closed his eyes and smiled bitterly, not understanding why his mother would give up Charles and
choose his father instead, as well as why his mother would give up Jim and choose him.
With that thought in mind, Sean inhaled deeply and looked into Charles' eyes.
