Chapter 259 In the Lindsay family, mother was like a forbidden word. No one dared mention it.

With a sigh, Nanson looked at the young man, "Hey, kiddo, what's your name? Leaveyour number, will ya? I'm a bom and brad Cloudcrest local. If I hear anything about your mom. III give you a call " Gerard rattled off his digits Th Gerard Lindsay." Nanson locked up at Gerard and continued. "My name's Nanson Yeager. Just callNanson" Meanwhile, in the Capital City Edna was out on her balcony, talking on the phone.

Suddenly, her face went pale, "What did you say? Cloudcrest. He's gone to Cloudcrest.” If Gerard had indeed gone to Cloudcrest, all their secrets could have been exposed, Panic surged through Edna like never before.

Had her eighteen years of hard work been in vain? No. She couldn't accept that "Keep your shirt on," the voice on the other end said, "Gerard doesn't have a clue right now, and he won't find Carole. But we need to get the Lindsay clan to bring Gerard back pronto. If he keeps this up, trouble's brewing." "I got it" Edna hung up and rushed over to the Lindsay family mansion.

"Janet. We've got a situation." "What's the fuss about?” Jset down her chicken noodle soup.

Edna continued, “Darleen Fletcher's classmate told her that Gerry never went to Saltwater Metropolis. Janet, are you sure Gerry went there?" Jnodded affirmatively, y."That's what he told me." "Could something have happened to him on the road?" Jfrowned, "Where's the butler? Check on Gerry's whereabouts, stat" The butler promptly set out to investigate It wasn't long before they tracked down Gerard, and the butler returned with a strange look on his face, "Madam, Gerry..." "What happened to him?" Jasked, impatient.

The butler continued, "He's in Cloudcrest Jwas stunned. What in the world was Gerard doing in Cloudcrest? Was he looking for Carole? That little bastard! She had raised him from diapers, and he hadn't even bothered to tell her before he went off in search of that flighty Carole.

Did he even consider her, his grandmother, anymore? "The scoundrel. The absolute scoundrel." Jslammed her fist on the table.

“Janet, calm down," Edna quickly stood up to support Janet, “Gerry's just a kid, and he doesn't understand. Maybe he just went to Cloudcrest for a bit of fun." Jdidn't respond directly but instructed the butler instead, "Get someone to bring Gerry back from Cloudcrest immediately." "Right away, madam," the butler hurried off to make arrangements.

As the butler's figure disappeared, Jsat back down, unable to help coughing loudly.

Edna soothed Janet, "Maybe Gerry just missed his mother, that's all. You mustn't get upset."

"That woman, fit to be Gerry's mother? Jangt fured, "When he was ΟΜ just a little thing, no bigger than a N.O kitten, I raised him with sweat and tears. Would he even be alive today if it weren't for me?" The memories brought a fresh wave of anger.

Anger at Gerard's thoughtlessness.

Anger at Carole's flightiness.

Edna added, "Gerry's young now, but when he grows up, be'll understand alt you've done for him."

"Grow up? How much more does he need to grow?" Jlooked at Edna, "He's already 19 years old. He's about to start college. Edna, you tell me, how much longer does he need before he comes to his senses?" 09 X
