Chapter 864

Although S-Star Group had weathered the storm, Lionel's case had hit a standstill. And Aaron, following Evadne's strategy, had people secretly monitoring Warner's every move.

After settling all of Jeff's affairs, Avery made his way to the top-notch Elmsworth Sanatorium to visit his mother.

Mrs. Chambers had become gaunt, almost skeletal. Seated in a wheelchair, turned away from her son, she was cared for by a nurse in the sun-drenched courtyard.

But what Avery saw filled him with profound sorrow. His mother's frail body seemed like it could crumble into ashes under the sunlight and scatter in the wind.

"Mr. Chambers, your mother's condition...it's dire."

The attending doctor shook his head with a gloomy expression, "She's in the advanced stages of Alzheimer's. It's not just her memory; her ability to speak has also deteriorated. And your mother has a significant heart condition, which in the late stages of this disease, only adds to the danger."

Avery sighed deeply, his lips pressed tightly together in distress.

"You know, there's no cure. My advice is spending as much time as you can with your mother. Make her last days as comfortable as possible."

"Who says there's no cure?" The man's voice was hoarse, suddenly a whisper. "Huh? What did you say?" The doctor looked puzzled.

"Who told you my mother's disease is incurable? Who said she's beyond help?!" Avery's eyes blazed with fury as he suddenly roared at him. His emotions were spiraling out of control!

"There'll be a cure soon. This isn't cancer; why can't it be cured?!"

Avery grabbed the doctor by the collar, lifting him off the ground with his strength!

The doctor was utterly terrified; luckily, Harvey arrived just in time and pull Avery away, "Mr. Chambers, calm down. He's just a small-time doc; he doesn't know anything!"

Avery, feeling a burning rage inside, slowly approached his mother.

Dismissing the nurse with a wave, he half knelt beside Mrs. Chambers, tending to her with utmost gentleness, "Mom, I'm here to see you. Ave's here."

It took a moment until Mrs. Chambers slowly opened her clouded eyes, staring blankly at Avery as if frozen in time.

"Mom."

"Jeff, what will it take for you to believe me?"

A flicker of coherence appeared in Mrs. Chambers' eyes, but it was fragmented. She kept on slowly, word by word, "I've never had anyone else. I only have you." Avery was stunned. He gripped his mother's withered hand tightly, accidentally leaving crescent marks on her skin, "Mom! Look at me! It's your son, Ave! Mom!" "Jeff, take me home," Mrs. Chambers' eyes filled with tears as she gently touched Avery's cheek.

The man felt as if struck by lightning, his blood turning cold, his teeth clenching.
