Chapter 1725 This blood-curdling scream tore Luna out of her thoughts.
She lifted her head to stare at the room which the screams had come from, her gaze full of doubt and confusion. “Is that…Father?”
She refused to accept or believe this.
Charles was in his late fifties and was about to turn sixty soon, but this scream…
Jim let out a sigh and glanced at Luna, smiling bitterly.
“He has relapsed, and this is what he had become ever since he ran out of the medication that Mother had made for him.”
With that, Jim let out an exhale and pushed open the door.
Inside the room, Charles was sitting in a corner, dressed in a striped patient’s gown and clutching his blanket in his arms. “Rosalyn, Rosalyn, I’m going to bring you home now. I’m going to bring you home now…
“Don’t be scared; we’re going home right now!
“Get away from me! Don’t you dare touch my Rosalyn!”
Luna stared at the scene before her in shock and could not help feeling like crying all of a sudden.
She did not expect that…this would happen after just two days of her being in jail.
How could Charles, who had initially been doing fine, suddenly turn into a crazed old man in just two days?
Luna lifted her hand to cover her mouth as tears slid down her face. She turned to stare at Jim. “How long has he been in this state?”
“Well, he ended up like this ever since you were captured, but it kept fluctuating, and he wasn’t always like this, but last night, when he went out for a walk outside the house, he suddenly lost control and ended up like this.”
With that, Jim sighed and continued, “The butler said that Father has been in this state ever since my birth mother passed away, but at that time, Father kept calling out Lucy’s name, and now, he’s calling out for Rosalyn instead.”
Jim reached out to pat Luna’s shoulder in reassurance and said in a low voice, “Mother always used to say that no one could replace Lucy’s place in Father’s heart, and Father had always treated her coldly too, but it seems now that…
“After two decades of companionship, Mother has now become the most important person to him. Otherwise, why would he be calling out her name over and over now?”
