?Chapter 2188


    The security guard spoke up anxiously, "Mr. Schmidt didn''t only purchase this nursing home when it was about to close. He spent a fortune rebuilding it, took in elderly people abandoned by their children, gave them shelter, and provided free medical care. He''s also incredibly kind to us staff, even buying us insurance!


    "Mr. Schmidt is a true phnthropist with a heart of gold. How can you call him a heartless monster? Don''t run your mouths like that!"


    Jonah and Cyrus were extremely shocked. The Jameson these people described waspletely different from the one they knew. It was as if he had a split personality.


    But Jasper knew better. Being respectable and kind was just part of the well-crafted fa?ade Jameson hid his dark soul behind.


    "When that woman came by this afternoon, what did you talk about?" Jonah asked coldly.


    "Mr. Schmidt warned us before," the caregiver stammered. "He told all of us that if that pretty woman showed up, we were to take her to see his mother."


    The male caregiver trembled. "Everyone was busy at the time. I just happened to-to see her walk in. I don''t know about any schemes. I don''t know anything about it!"Content belong to N?velDráma. Org.


    With a serious look on his face, Cyrus leaned in to whisper to Jasper. "Jasper, he doesn''t seem to be lying."


    ''Is Jameson''s mother still here? Take us to her." Jasper''s bloodshot eyes were like knives against the man''s throat.This content provided by N(o)velDrama].[Org.


    ''Mrs. Schmidt... She''s left the nursing home."


    Everyone was astonished.


    In a raspy voice, Jasper questioned, "Where is my wife, then?''


    ''After that woman saw Mrs. Schmidt, something happened. I don''t know what they spoke of, but Mrs. Schmidt, who was stable, suddenly had a seizure. She was foaming at the mouth and convulsing. I called for an air ambnce.


    "The woman was worried and got on the helicopter with Mrs. Schmidt. They left together from the back garden..." The color drained from Jasper''s face as he sprinted toward the garden.


    The police rounded up everyone involved, while Jonah and Cyrus followed Jasper.


    At this very moment, as beautiful as the scenery was, the atmosphere around them felt extremely deste, heavy, and chilling.


    "Jasper!"


    Jonah and Cyrus ran to him, shocked to find him kneeling. In his handy a red diamond rose brooch-one Alyssa had made and always wore.


    They couldn''t imagine what had happened. Even thinking about it hurt.


    ''Jonah, Jasper, I''ve looked into it. I think the caregiver was telling the truth," Cyrus said, kneeling beside him, trying to remain calm despite his own anxiousness. "There''s no sign of a struggle, no messy footprints. Another caregiver saw Lyse get into the helicopter with medics. She got in willingly to apany Mrs. Schmidt. No one forced her."


    "But that''s the strangest part."


    Jasper''s eyes burned as he clenched the brooch, its sharp edges piercing his hand. "Jameson manipted everyone in the nursing home, even his mother. They were tools to lure Lyse onto that helicopter."


    ''Jasper is right." Jonah couldn''t agree more. "The only way to get Lyse to leave willingly was to exploit her kindness. Mrs. Schmidt was just bait. Jameson''s real goal was to use the helicopter to kidnap Lyse."


    "Oh, God,'' Cyrus muttered, his nerves shot. "If that''s true, then Lyse has already left Kontina. It''s been more than ten hours!"
