Chapter 408 The Mother Of Jeremiah
One had to admit that Jeremiah was incredibly lucky.
At that time, the situation couldnโt 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, โI 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 canโt even see a scar. Youโve seen my body; you probably didnโt notice anything amiss, right? That was how I narrowly escaped death in Musmeynia. As for how I came to be known as Mr. Foucault, thatโs a different tale altogether. Itโs about my mother, and itโs a bit complicated. Once the time is right, Iโll explain it to you.โ
Raylee didnโt probe any further, but she was still very worried.
โBut youโre impersonating someone as important as Mr. Foucault, arenโt you afraid of the danger if the Malk family were to discover this? Also, if youโre merely an impostor, how are you able to move funds belonging to the Malk family? Even if you did it behind the scenes, thereโs no way you couldโve pulled it off, right? Youโve deceived so many people in Jexburgh, including Mr. Victor. All of them are extremely powerful people. If something went wrongโฆโ
Raylee couldnโt even begin to imagine the consequences.
โJeremiah, can we call it quits while weโre ahead, before things spiral out of control?โ
โWho said Iโm an impostor?โ Jeremiah gave a bitter smile as he shook his head. โHow much do you really know about me to call me an impostor? Rest assured, your man doesnโt fight battles heโs not certain of winning. Mr. Foucaultโs status will only serve to protect me, not harm me. Your worries are unnecessary.โ
Raylee was utterly shocked.
โIf youโre not an impostor, are you really him? But arenโt you the illegitimate child of the Lorimer family? Jeremiah, I feel like thereโs no end to the secrets you carry..โ
Jeremiah gave a mysterious smile.
โThere are indeed many secrets to my origins, all of which are tied to my mother. Darling, donโt 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, thereโs no need for you to get involved.โ
โBut I am genuinely concerned about you. Does Layla know about your situation? After all, sheโs your sister,โ Raylee asked again.
โJust like you, I donโt have the full picture, but thatโs 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, โThe next stepโฆ is for us to gradually swallow itโฆโ
โI understand now, youโre seeking revenge against the Lorimer family! After all, theyโve caused you endless pain in the past!โ Rayleeโs tone suddenly turned serious.
โBefore you jumped into the river in Musmeynia, you told me to retrieve the chip and deliver it to Mr. Victor. Whatโs the deal with that chip? Will such an important item falling into your fatherโs hands lead to serious consequences?โ
Jeremiah gently stroked her head.
โSpeaking of which, I really owe you one. If not for you, he wouldnโt have thought I was completely out of the picture and revealed his true colors. It led me to uncover my motherโs personal effects. Ray-Ray, once youโve recovered from your illness, Iโll take you back to Central Epea. Weโll visit my motherโs grave and pay our respects. I also want to entrust you with my motherโs 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 familyโs 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.
โIsnโt your mother from Jexburgh? Sheโs buried in the Lorimer family ceme- Central Epea?โ Raylee expressed her confusion.
Jeremiah shook his head.
โShe isnโt entirely from Jexburgh, as she is of half Central Epean descent. The Lorimer familyโs cemetery isnโt worthy of having my mother buried there. Iโve 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 endโฆโ
Toward the end, Jeremiah spoke with his fists tightly clenched.
Clearly, his desire for vengeance over his motherโs murder had consumed him.
Raylee opened her arms and embraced him, whispering words of comfort.
โJeremiah, Iโll forever be by your side. Even in revenge, Iโll always be there for you, no matter what.โ
