Nathan''s case made no progress despite the Ivory being saved.


    Cyrus followed Alyssa''s orders and had people secretly keep an eye on Aidan''s movements.


    After taking care of Victor''s funeral, Jameson visited Lily at Sna City''s top nursing home.


    Thin as a stick, Lily sat in a wheelchair with her back to Jameson. A nurse attended to her as she basked in the sunlight in the courtyard.


    But seeing that, Jameson felt endless heartache. Her frail body seemed like it could turn to ashes at any moment under the sun, scattering in the wind.


    "Mr. Schmidt, your mother''s condition... is very poor," the doctor said worriedly while shaking his head.


    "She''s in thete stages of Alzheimer''s. Not only is her memory fading, but hernguage abilities are also declining gradually. And with her heart condition, it''s even more dangerous in thiste stage of the disease."


    Jameson took a deep breath and pressed his pale lips tightly together.


    "There''s no miracle drug to cure Alzheimer''s. My advice now is... spend more time with her and make her asfortable as possible in her final days."


    "Who said there''s no cure..." Jameson suddenly murmured in a hoarse voice.


    "What? What did you say?" The doctor was taken aback.


    "Who told you there''s no miracle drug for my mom''s illness? Who told you she''s dying?" Jameson shouted as he red at the doctor with fiery eyes. His emotions were getting out of control.


    "There''s a drug. There will be a drug soon... This isn''t cancer. It should be curable! Jameson grabbed the doctor''s cor. His strength almost lifted the man off the ground.


    The doctor was scared out of his wits, but fortunately, Carl arrived in time to pull Jameson away. "Mr.. Schmidt, calm down. He''s just an ignorant fool. He doesn''t know anything!"


    With fury burning inside him, Jameson approached Lily''s side.


    He dismissed the nurse and kneeled down beside Lily, tending to her gently. "Mom... I''vee to see you. It''s Jimmy."


    After a while, Lily slowly opened her confused eyes and stared at Jameson as if frozen in time.


    "Mom..."N?velDrama.Org owns this.


    "Victor... What do I need to do... for you to believe me?" Lily''s eyes held a glimmer, but it was a pained one. She spoke slowly, "I never... had anyone else... I... only have


    you..."


    Jameson was stunned. He gripped her thin hand tightly, identally leaving nail marks on her skin. "Mom! Look at me! I''m your son, Jimmy! Mom!"


    "Victor... take me... back..." Lily''s eyes filled with tears as she gently stroked Jameson''s cheek.


    Jameson''s blood turned cold as he ground his teeth.


    She mistook him for Victor.


    In the twilight of her life, she had forgotten her own son, remembering only the man who had hurt her so deeply.


    No one could understand this heartbreak.


    "Mom... Victor''s dead." Jameson''s once gentle gaze gradually turned cold. "I killed him. I avenged you. You only have me from now on, and that''s more than enough."
