The Divorced Heiress’s Revenge

Chapter 2041

Although the Southern Star Syndicate had been saved, there was no progress in Elias' case.

Meanwhile, Ralph, following Bella's instructions, had people closely monitoring Aaron's movements.

After handling all the funeral arrangements for Lance, Christopher visited his mother, Sophie, at a top- tier nursing home in Savrow.

Sophie had withered away to little more than skin and bones. She sat in a wheelchair with her back to her son, tended to by a caregiver, basking in the sunlight of a garden.

"Mr. Iverson, your mother's condition is very bad," the attending doctor said with a worried expression, shaking his head.

"She's in the late stages of Alzheimer's. It's not just her memory-her ability to speak is also deteriorating. Moreover, your mother has a heart condition, which only increases the risk in this advanced stage."

Christopher sighed heavily, pressing his dry, pale lips together.
