Lyla frowned. “The Walsh’s are a family with such high status. Mr. Justin is Mr. Javier’s oldest son, who grew up well-respected. Moreover, he’s physically challenged. Why would he have allowed such an unprofessional-looking doctor to get so close to Mr. Justin?
Something feels strange about it.”
From the outside, she looks like a doctor. Who knows who she is behind closed doors?”
Colene smirked coldly. “I remember that when I was young, my father’s colleagues had nannies, masseuses, chess teachers, and freaking goddaughters by their side. They called them all sorts of things. At the end of the day, it was actually because they were horny!”
Lyla remarked, “But Mr. Justin looks quite decent…
Colene responded, “He’s Javier’s son. How decent could he be?”
Lyla was speechless.
Colene realized what she had just said. Immediately, she clarified, “Jeremy is an exception!” Mandy lowered her eyes in deep thought. Suddenly, she asked, “Where are Jonah and Silas?”
Both Lyla and Colene said that they hadn’t seen them.
Wait right here, both of you. I’ll look for them.”
Mandy said she would look for Jonah and Silas, but that was an excuse for her to have some time alone to catch a breath of fresh air.
Mandy, Lyla, and Colene all loved Alyssa the same.
That said, Mandy was the first one to join the Taylor family. In other words, she watched Alyssa grow up since she was young and truly treated her like her own daughter. Witnessing Alyssa’s accident and breakup was a blow to her heart. She couldn’t compose herself so quickly.
With tears in her reddened eyes, Mandy dragged her feet through the empty hallway alone.
She was from a family of doctors and was on the board of directors of a pharmaceutical company. She couldn’t comprehend how a medication could cause a deeply in love couple to separate.
That thing shouldn’t be called a “medication’ at all. It should be labeled as a poison! “Joseph..” Suddenly, her oldest brother, who was serving his sentence in prison, came to mind.
Even though he had engaged in business in the latter part of his career, he was a top student in the field of pharmaceuticals when he was young. He contributed to Lovelace Group’s expansion. If he hadn’t, Edgar wouldn’t have handed their family business to this adopted son of his.
Perhaps he would have some thoughts to share about what happened to Jeremy.
Without warning, Mandy stopped in her tracks. Her breathing became uneven as she became shaken up.
On a balcony less than 350 feet away, a tall, fierce-looking man was leaning against the railing. He wore a black leather jacket and had an icy expression.
As he tilted his chin upward, the definition of his neck gave him a sharp and frigid look.
He puffed out a cloud of smoke. His look evoked an inexplicable feeling of sorrow, melancholy, and loneliness.
“Damien…”
Mandy blinked hard, and her heart wrenched. Her body trembled as she yelled out agitatedly, “Damien!
Mandy’s emotional cry reverberated down the hallway.
Naturally, Remy heard her voice too. He was slightly stunned. His eyes met the teary-eyed, middle-aged woman standing a few feet away from him.
For some reason, his heart felt heavy. Even breathing stirred up some unfathomable feelings within him.
It felt just like that heavy feeling he had when he watched Alyssa, injured all over, crawling out from her car that had flipped over.
“Damien… Is that you? Damien!”
Even though Mandy was always a noble and composed person, her face was covered in tears at this very moment. She choked with sobs and had lost her composure.
“Damien… It’s me, your mom! You’re still alive… I can’t believe that you’re still alive!”
Mom?
Dumbfounded, Remy stared at the woman who was approaching him. It was as if someone had put his heart on pause. His slender fingers quivered slightly as he pinched a cigarette in between his fingers.
In the next second, the splitting pain in his head pulled him back to reality.
He stubbed out the cigarette against the balcony before disappearing before vanishing from Mandy’s sight in an instant.
“Damien!” Mandy ran forward as quickly as she could.
Ultimately, she lost focus and fell heavily to the ground, scraping her knees. The pain and sadness in that moment left her unable to rise.
At the same time, from the balcony on the other side of the wall, Remy listened to Mandy’s devastated cries. He took a deep breath. The muscles throughout his entire body tensed up as he tried to withstand the pain in his head. His eyes became bloodshot.
In the hospital ward, Winston and Alyssa had a heart-to-heart talk-something they hadn’t done in a while.
“Dad.. Don’t worry.”
Alyssa’s hospital gown hung loosely over her small frame. Her face was so pale that it looked like she could melt away at any moment. Even so, she tried her best to force a smile on Winston.
“I’m fine. It’s true that I was really sad at first, but now… It’s all over.”
“It’s over between you and Jeremy?’
Winston grasped onto Alyssa’s chilly hands tightly. With a fiery gaze, he continued, “You are my daughter. Did you think I couldn’t tell how you truly feel? I’m just old, not senile or blind!” Alyssa choked, “Dad..”
Winston sighed, “I’m old enough that I could die at any moment. There’s no use in me trying to keep my pride.
With a troubled look on his face, Winston clenched his teeth. He continued, “I will go to Seaview Manor tomorrow to chat with Jeremy. I’ll see if there’s a chance for you both to get back together.
You’re both so in love with one another. I’ve seen how many difficulties you both had to overcome to get to where you are. I don’t believe that it was because of any medication or inability to process emotions.
“He’s still alive; his heart is still beating. There’s no way that brat can just fall out of love like that!’
He had experience being in love. He understood that true love would only end when one died.
The Taylor family’s ancestors were reputable and incredibly blessed. Even Javier was inferior to them.
Winston humbled himself only once in his entirety of living-when he proposed to Alyssa’s mother. With Jeremy, this would be his second time humbling himself.
“No need for that, Dad. I’ve accepted it already.
Alyssa forced herself to hold back the anguish in her heart. She smiled bitterly.
“Based on Jeremy’s current condition, he should focus on recuperating. Moreover, Justin is back, so there might be changes within the Walsh Group. He has to focus all his attention on his family feuds. I don’t want to be a distraction to him. I’ll just leave the rest up to fate.”
“Oh, silly… You once lived in misery by Jeremy’s side for three years! After so much difficulty. you’re finally together. Yet, you’re making the same mistakes again?
You are my precious daughter. I cannot bear to see you hurting yourself and putting yourself down like this!”
Winston’s heart wrenched. “You’re putting him into consideration in everything you do.. Why can’t you just think about yourself? Jeremy no longer loves you, so what will you do in the future? He promised to protect you. What the hell was he protecting?”
He was too harsh with his words. Still, Winston genuinely felt heartbroken for Alyssa. He simply blurted out his thoughts without thinking.
“Dad, it’s my fault that Jeremy ended up like this, I don’t blame him for anything he does to me ..”A subtle smile crossed Alyssa’s face. “From now on, I only hope he stays safe and healthy. The rest is insignificant.”
All of a sudden, the door to her hospital ward was opened.
With Colene and Lyla holding onto her, Mandy stumbled into the room looking disheveled.
Having never seen her so forlorn, Winston felt a wave of panic. He quickly rushed over to support her quivering body. What’s wrong, Mandy?”
“Winston!” Mandy cried out. Tears streamed down her face as she dove into Winston’s arms. “I saw Damien… Our son, Damien. I saw him!”
Winston’s heart skipped a beat. In surprise, he replied, “How could that be… It has been many years since Damien passed away!”
“Mandy, could it be that your longing for him caused you to hallucinate? Colene expressed concern for Mandy’s mental health. ‘Damien died in that plane crash. No one survived when that plane fell into the sea, and the authorities confirmed that.”
“Damien is my son! How could I have misidentified him?” Mandy couldn’t stop crying. “When I walked toward the balcony at the hallway earlier, I spotted a man in a black leather jacket. He was smoking… He looked exactly like Damien! How could there be two people who looked so much alike?”
Emotions surged within Winston. Even so, he was afraid that he would be disappointed. So, he remarked in a calm voice, “Mandy, maybe it was just a coincidence…”
“It’s not a coincidence!” Alyssa sat up straight. Bright-eyed, she continued, “Mandy isn’t wrong. There is a man who looks exactly like Damien!
“I know him. His name is Remy Lexington. I interacted with him when Jameson held me captive on Rose Island in Kontina!”
