Chapter 2244
Sean's words made everyone freeze in shock.
Not only that, but even Sean himself seemed utterly stunned by this.
It was undeniable that he envied Jim for having such a kind, loving mother, but...
Rosalyn was Jim's mother, so how could he call her that?
Even though he and Jim were half-brothers, Rosalyn was not related to him at all!
After a moment of pin-drop silence, the first person to regain her composure was Rosalyn.
She curled her lips into a smile, staring at Sean. "I heard from Samuel that Lucy passed
away when you were eleven. It's one thing to grow up without a parent and another thing
entirely to find out that your beloved sister, the only family you knew, had been lying to you
all this while...

She held Sean's hand and added, "If you don't mind, you and Jim can both be my sons from today onward.
"I never had a son of my own, and my only child is Luna. Even though I didn't give birth to him, I see Jim as my son,
and you can be, too."
"Mother!" Jim could not help frowning when he heard this. "He doesn't deserve to be your son!"
"What the hell are you talking about?" Charles shot him a glare. "What makes you think you deserve to be your
mother's son but not him?"
"Your father is right." Rosalyn curled her lips into an amused smile. "You two are brothers, and if you're my son,
Sean can be, too."
Then, she reached out to grasp Sean's hand once more. "You look almost identical to Jim when he turned twenty,
and I can't help feeling familiar whenever I look at you. If you'd have us, I sincerely hope that you'll come home
with us and become our second son. Will you?"
Sean's heart leaped into his throat.
He instinctively drew his hand away from Rosalyn and refused to even glance at her. "L.J'm sorry. That wasn't what I
meant, and I never wanted the Landry family to take me in. Besides..."
He sniffed and turned his head away. "I'm already twenty-one, not an underage child anymore. I can take care of
myself, so I don't need anyone to help me or take me in."
Then, he took the recording device from Rosalyn, turned around, C<\oL5WS strode away.
However, he had just taken two steps when he paused, as though he suddenly recalled something, and turned to
glance at Rosalyn. "Thank you for being so kind tome."
Finally, he shot Jim a meaningful look and walked away.
Jim recognized envy and even a hint of jealousy in Sean's gaze, and his chest tightened at this realization.
They were both Lucy's sons, and although he had been abandoned by Lucy since he was young, he was lucky
enough to grow up with Charles and Rosalyn's love.

He had been alone, with only Nikki by his side, for almost ten years since Lucy died.
There was no way he could understand the struggle Sean had to go through.
Jim's chest tightened as he watched Sean's lonesome, retreating figure get further and
further away.
He knew that Sean had trusted Nikki not because he was a gullible fool, but because...he
had been living with Nikki for so long that he would rather bear with Nikki's lies than expose
her.
After all, if he did, he would have no family left.
All of a sudden, the door behind Jim slid open, and the doctor stepped out of the room.
Jim quickly turned around. "How's Bonnie doing now, doctor?"
This simple sentence made Sean freeze in his steps.
He turned around and was about to say something when Jim caught sight of him.
