Chapter 1088:

“So you do harbor genuine concern for your mother.” A knowing smile played across Ferris’ face. “Your information is correct; she hasn’t been in Srixby. Her condition deteriorated significantly, requiring treatment unavailable locally. But now that you’ve returned, I thought perhaps a reunion might benefit her recovery. Wouldn’t you agree?”

Each carefully chosen word penetrated Eric’s emotional defenses. His heartbeat thundered in his ears as doubt and hope battled within him. “Where is she being kept?”

“Just upstairs.” Ferris gestured toward the sweeping staircase. “Would you like to see her with your own eyes?”

Eric’s gaze snapped sharply upward, following the direction of Ferris’ indication.

His mother was upstairs?

Throughout his childhood, he had only glimpsed her from afar. He had resigned himself to the possibility that they might never meet again in this lifetime.

Unshed tears glistened in his eyes as a cold sensation spread through his veins. His hands clenched involuntarily into tight fists.

Ferris observed his reaction closely, his voice softening persuasively. “Go to her…”

Before Ferris could complete his sentence, Eric had already moved toward the stairs. A triumphant smirk played across Ferris’ face as he followed closely behind.
