Chapter 59: Confrontations and Revelations

(Elena’s POV) “I just think you and I are very compatible.” Adrian Whitmore’s eyes fell on his mother, “Besides, my mother is close to you, so you deserve this reward.”

I watched Dorothea Whitmore gently rock her carved wolf pup figurine, humming a soft lullaby. The peaceful scene on the cruise ship felt surreal compared to the chaos in my life. The gentle breeze from the Crimson River carried the scent of wildflowers. I found myself genuinely curious about Dorothea’s condition.

“Adrian, may I ask what happened to your mother?” I set down my coffee cup carefully. “Given status, it seems unusual for someone to develop such severe mental instability”

Adrian’s expression grew somber. His amber eyes reflected deep pain as he watched his mother.

“She lost my sister at birth,” he said quietly “The trauma caused a complete mental breakdown. She’s never recovered from believing her daughter is still alive somewhere.”

My heart clenched with unexpected sympathy. Tm sorry for your loss”

Adrian nodded, his voice heavy with old grief. “She always insists her daughter will come home someday. That’s why she calls you ‘Sweetheart – she thinks you’re her.”

Adrian studied my face with gentle understanding. “Perhaps that’s why she’s drawn to you. She senses that need.”

Marcus stood by the trash can, a cigarette between his fingers. His golden eyes were cold as winter ice when they fixed on me.

“Was that photo sent to my mother by you?” His voice was dangerously quiet.

I didn’t flinch under his stare. “Yes, I sent it.”

Marcus’s jaw tightened. “How did you even know about it?” I pulled out my phone and showed him the chat record from the institute’s work group. “Sophia shared it herself. She even congratulated you on having such a ‘big son.”

Marcus’s face darkened like a storm cloud. He grabbed my face roughly, his fingers digging into my cheeks.
