From Sneers to Cheers: Anthea’s Ascent (Anthea ) novel Chapter 476

Perhaps having experienced much in life, Gerard showed little expression when mentioning Jonah Lindsay.

Reflecting on it now, something must have happened to Jonah when he visited Cloudcrest last year. Otherwise, his condition wouldn't have worsened so suddenly after returning.

With this thought, Gerard frowned slightly, pondering what Jonah might have gone through.

Nanson looked up at Gerard, "So, your father came to Cloudcrest looking for your mother?"

Gerard nodded, "I think that's likely. He wouldn't have come to Cloudcrest for no reason."

"Did he see your mom?" Nanson continued, "After all these years, your mom might still be single, or she could have remarried and started a new family. Maybe your dad couldn’t handle that and that's why his health worsened."

Originally, Nanson had assumed Gerard's father was a negligent man, indifferent to Gerard’s mother for so many years. But now, it seemed that wasn't quite the case. Gerard's father hadn't had an easy life either.

Nanson took a bite of peanuts and continued, "Or perhaps your dad didn't find your mom in Cloudcrest, and his condition worsened, forcing him to return to Capital City."

Upon hearing this, Gerard’s expression shifted, "Mr. Yeager, which of these possibilities do you think is more likely?"

Was it the shock of seeing his mother remarried that drove his father back to Capital City, or was it his father's deteriorating health?

Nanson sipped his drink, "I think both are quite likely. It's been nineteen years; it's natural for your mom to remarry. If she was still waiting all this time, she'd be an exceptionally rare woman."

Gerard took a sip of his drink too. "But are there really people like that? Who wouldn’t marry for nineteen years?"
