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.

They had barely reached the second floor when a panicked scream echoed from the upper floor, followed immediately by the sound of multiple footsteps rushing toward them.

"Mrs. Scott! Please stop running!" "Mrs. Scott! Watch your step!" A woman in a silk dress rushed down toward them. Her hair flew wildly around her face as terror filled her eyes. She moved with reckless abandon, teetering on the edge of falling with each step.

"Watch out!" Eric moved forward without thinking and extended his arms to catch her.

The woman tumbled against his chest. Eric glanced at Ferris with a questioning look.

His heart seemed to stop as he looked down at the frightened woman he now held. With gentle fingers, he swept the tangled hair away from her face.

Eric tried to speak. His mouth formed words, but his throat constricted so tightly that he ended up not saying anything.

"Ahhh..." The woman recoiled from his touch. Her entire body shook as she fought against his grip. "Let... let go of me!" "What's the matter?" Eric asked, his eyes growing hot with emotion.

"Are you afraid? Please don't be m scared. I would never harm you...."

However, she seemed deaf to his reassurances. The woman tore m herself from his grasp and bolted Elf!! down the remaining stairs. "Stop her!" "Right away!"
