Chapter 408 The Mother Of Jeremiah

One had to admit that Jeremiah was incredibly lucky.

At that time, the situation couldnโ€™t be any more dangerous. He was being pursued by enemies in Musmeynia, sustaining a gunshot wound in his vital organs. Moreover, he faced the risk of drowning after jumping into the river. After being rescued, the dangers that lay ahead were still incredibly unpredictable.

Had something gone wrong in the entire process, he would have been a dead man.

Jeremiah continued, โ€œI had a highly skilled medical team in East Aploth, dedicated solely to my care. Additionally, I had several medical laboratories at my disposal. So, my gunshot wound has fully healed, to the point where you canโ€™t even see a scar. Youโ€™ve seen my body; you probably didnโ€™t notice anything amiss, right? That was how I narrowly escaped death in Musmeynia. As for how I came to be known as Mr. Foucault, thatโ€™s a different tale altogether. Itโ€™s about my mother, and itโ€™s a bit complicated. Once the time is right, Iโ€™ll explain it to you.โ€

Raylee didnโ€™t probe any further, but she was still very worried.

โ€œBut youโ€™re impersonating someone as important as Mr. Foucault, arenโ€™t you afraid of the danger if the Malk family were to discover this? Also, if youโ€™re merely an impostor, how are you able to move funds belonging to the Malk family? Even if you did it behind the scenes, thereโ€™s no way you couldโ€™ve pulled it off, right? Youโ€™ve deceived so many people in Jexburgh, including Mr. Victor. All of them are extremely powerful people. If something went wrongโ€ฆโ€

Raylee couldnโ€™t even begin to imagine the consequences.

โ€œJeremiah, can we call it quits while weโ€™re ahead, before things spiral out of control?โ€

โ€œWho said Iโ€™m an impostor?โ€ Jeremiah gave a bitter smile as he shook his head. โ€œHow much do you really know about me to call me an impostor? Rest assured, your man doesnโ€™t fight battles heโ€™s not certain of winning. Mr. Foucaultโ€™s status will only serve to protect me, not harm me. Your worries are unnecessary.โ€

Raylee was utterly shocked.

โ€œIf youโ€™re not an impostor, are you really him? But arenโ€™t you the illegitimate child of the Lorimer family? Jeremiah, I feel like thereโ€™s no end to the secrets you carry..โ€

Jeremiah gave a mysterious smile.

โ€œThere are indeed many secrets to my origins, all of which are tied to my mother. Darling, donโ€™t let curiosity get the better of you. Your most important task right now is to work with me and focus on your recovery. As for the rest, thereโ€™s no need for you to get involved.โ€

โ€œBut I am genuinely concerned about you. Does Layla know about your situation? After all, sheโ€™s your sister,โ€ Raylee asked again.

โ€œJust like you, I donโ€™t have the full picture, but thatโ€™s not important. What matters is that with my help, Layla has taken up a key position in the Lorimer Group.โ€ Jeremiah added with a meaningful tone, โ€œThe next stepโ€ฆ is for us to gradually swallow itโ€ฆโ€

โ€œI understand now, youโ€™re seeking revenge against the Lorimer family! After all, theyโ€™ve caused you endless pain in the past!โ€ Rayleeโ€™s tone suddenly turned serious.

โ€œBefore you jumped into the river in Musmeynia, you told me to retrieve the chip and deliver it to Mr. Victor. Whatโ€™s the deal with that chip? Will such an important item falling into your fatherโ€™s hands lead to serious consequences?โ€

Jeremiah gently stroked her head.

โ€œSpeaking of which, I really owe you one. If not for you, he wouldnโ€™t have thought I was completely out of the picture and revealed his true colors. It led me to uncover my motherโ€™s personal effects. Ray-Ray, once youโ€™ve recovered from your illness, Iโ€™ll take you back to Central Epea. Weโ€™ll visit my motherโ€™s grave and pay our respects. I also want to entrust you with my motherโ€™s things.โ€

Talking about his mother filled Jeremiah with sorrow, and he let out a heavy sigh.

Right then Raylee thought about what happened at the cemetery.

Back then, Leonardo had unknowingly found himself in the Lorimer familyโ€™s graveyard. At that time, she had already begun to suspect that Leonardo was harboring secrets.

Unexpectedly, his biggest secret was that he was actually Jeremiah.

โ€œIsnโ€™t your mother from Jexburgh? Sheโ€™s buried in the Lorimer family ceme- Central Epea?โ€ Raylee expressed her confusion.

Jeremiah shook his head.

โ€œShe isnโ€™t entirely from Jexburgh, as she is of half Central Epean descent. The Lorimer familyโ€™s cemetery isnโ€™t worthy of having my mother buried there. Iโ€™ve already moved her ashes back long ago. My mother was an extraordinary woman, as well as a scientific researcher. It was a shame that she fell in with the wrong crowd. Not only did she end up with a jerk, but she was also brutally killed by Maximus in the endโ€ฆโ€

Toward the end, Jeremiah spoke with his fists tightly clenched.

Clearly, his desire for vengeance over his motherโ€™s murder had consumed him.

Raylee opened her arms and embraced him, whispering words of comfort.

โ€œJeremiah, Iโ€™ll forever be by your side. Even in revenge, Iโ€™ll always be there for you, no matter what.โ€
