Chapter 546 She Is Dead
Unnerved by Jason’s response, Linda expressed her concern. “Mr. Murray, are you… alright?”
Upon hearing the lady, Jason quickly noticed his embarrassing reaction and said, “My apologies! I guess I must have been desperate in searching for this pair of bracelets for way too long. Anyway, now that I’ve finally found a useful lead on it, I’d be grateful if you could answer my question, Miss Dunn. Is your mother still alive?”
Soon, a saddened look flashed across Linda’s face. “Nope. She passed away many years ago.”
Meanwhile, Jason’s eyes were filled with lament and grief as he took a few moments to snap out of his trance and wondered. “She would likely be in her fifties if she were still alive, but why did she even…”
While Linda looked down with a sigh in a depressed manner, Jason thoughtfully took a piece of tissue paper and gave it to her. “I’m sorry for being so… direct, Miss Dunn.”
“It’s alright. That was many years ago, anyway. My mom married my father because she loved him deeply, yet he repaid her love with an affair and broke her heart. When she found out about this, she became so depressed that she fell ill and left the world not long after that.” Linda took the tissue paper from the man and wiped her tears.
At that moment, Jason’s heart sank, as if it had just stopped beating. Despite years of effort in searching for the bracelets, he didn’t do it because of their valuable worth but because of the owner who used to possess them.
“You seem eager to get your hands on the bracelets, Mr. Murray. Do you know my mom?” Linda continued to wipe her tears.
“Did your mom ever mention anything to you about your grandparents?”
