Chapter 376
Jonah hurried across the room, "Where's Gerry?"
"Resting upstairs."
Jonah thought about going up to check on him.
J grabbed his hand, "Gerry's been burning the midnight oil for his exams. Let's not disturb him now."
Gerard had aced the exams, becoming the valedictorian!
Standing out from tens of thousands.
You can only imagine how hard Gerard must have worked.
Jonah nodded in acknowledgment.
J continued, "How come you're out of the rehab center? Are you fully recovered? All good?"
"No big issues left," Jonah replied.
"Now that Gerry's become the valedictorian, I'm thinking of getting the whole family back home to give Gerry a proper celebration. After all these years, the Lindsay family finally has its first valedictorian!"
Jonah slightly nodded, "I'll handle the arrangements."
J shook her head, "With your health and the business to tend to, let me take care of this little thing."
"Fair enough," Jonah's expression remained neutral.
Though mother and son, their bond wasn't as strong as before. Facing J, he had nothing much to say and stood up, "I'll head back to my room."
"Alright, I'll have the doctor check on you later. Rest well."
J watched Jonah's retreating back, her eyes unreadable.
She knew.
Jonah was still holding a grudge.
Neen years.
Ever since that incident, he had never spoken to her with any warmth.
But could she be blamed for what happened with Carole?
If she hadn't intervened back then,Text © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.
Jonah would have certainly married Carole.
And that would have been a real scandal, raising another man's child.
It couldn't be kept a secret forever.
Once it got out, wouldn't the whole of Capital City laugh at the Lindsay family?
Sigh!
J heaved a sigh.
In the end, it all came down to that wretched Carole.
Had she not meddled and seduced Jonah, the Lindsay family wouldn't be in this state.
Jonah without a wife.
Gerard without a mother.
If Gerard's mother had been Edna, he would have been even more outstanding.
Thinking of Carole, J's eyes filled with resentment.
She wished Carole would just disappear!
Reaching his bedroom upstairs,
Jonah found it clean and well-kept Although he hadn't stayed there for a while the servants changed the
bedding every few months, making it feel lived-in.
Lying on the bed, Jonah stared blankly at the ceiling.
Suddenly, he saw a woman's face smiling at him.
Who was she?
As he pondered, Jonah's eyes suddenly welled up, and a name slipped out, "Carole..."
Carole? Who was she?
Feeling as though he had forgotten something important, Jonah quickly grabbed his phone and called out, "Alva, who's Carole?"
Alva's voice came through, "Mr.
Lindsay, you've forgotten those things again, haven't you? Your wife's full name is Carole. There's a hidden compartment in your room's safe, with a photo and a letter you wrote to her."
After the call,
S
Jonah rushed to open the safe, finding the photo and letter as Alva described.
Memories started flooding back.
Next door, Gerard was busy typing away at his computer.
The room was filled with the sound of his rapid typing.
Once done, he saved the document.
He sent it to someone marked as [Director Walter] in his contacts.
After sending the document, Gerard messaged Nanson: [Mr. Yeager, my exam scores are out.]
Nanson didn't reply immediately, probably busy.
Gerard sent another message: [Mr. Yeager, how's everything at Cloudcrest?]
[By the way, I scored the highest in liberal arts in Capital City.]
[Do you think my mom would've been happy to hear this?]
Gerard's first thought upon becoming valedictorian was to share it with his mother.
Unfortunately,
He didn't even know who his mother was.
Gerard looked at his phone screen, a wry smile on his lips.
On the other side, Nanson was
