Chapter 1460
Julian’s Stand-In Wife
Seeing Diana relax, Jim didnât pursue the matter further.
âI donât consider myself a petty person. Inviting you here is indeed to extend my hospitality.â
This so-called hospitality, apart from the daily food and drink, was the âgiftâ he had given her.
Dianaâs background.
That was the gift Jim wanted to present to her.
âYour mother is your real mother, but James is not your biological father.â
When Jim reached this point, he subconsciously glanced at Diana. She sat on the sofa quietly. She held Betty and stayed silent, like a perfect doll.
Suddenly, a strange sensation struck in his heart. He couldnât express the emotion, only feeling a slight pang of sadness.
It was this kind of sadness that made him say the next sentence:
âBut I donât know who your biological father is.â
James was the only one who truly knew this.
In short, Diana needed to help James recover his memory first. Or rather, it seemed that she needed to keep Jim happy so he would give James the antidote.
Jamesâs amnesia shouldnât be a coincidence.
However, Diana didnât bring up the topic for now.
âWhat about my mom?â
In comparison to the identity of her biological father, Diana was more curious about information regarding Kate.
âYou said sheâs my real mom, but sheâs been with James for so many years. Did sheâ¦â Diana choked up for a moment.â Did she know that James isnât my father?â
âShe doesnât know,â Jim said firmly. âEvery time my mom gave Kate medicine, a detailed process was recorded. It includes her thoughts and the information my mother wanted to tell her at that time.
Everything is thoroughly documented.â
He said this in a particularly flat tone. It was so detached that it made Dianaâs anger surge again.
She felt like grabbing something, anything, just to cut Jim down!
Her motherâ¦
So, it wasnât that Kate didnât love her.
Kate was just forced to go through so much, compelled to sever the emotional connection with her own biological daughter because Jim and his mother wanted a drug that could overcome the greatest and deepest maternal love in humans.
How ironic.
They seemed to be creating medicine, but it came at the cost of other peopleâs suffering.
Diana couldnât help but let a sarcastic smile spread on her lips.
âAnd then? In your experiment, did you manipulate my momâs memories and tell her that James is her lover? Make her live with James?â
âYes!â Jim was somewhat excited. âThis experiment can be said to be the part my mother was most satisfied with.
Twenty years ago, after my mom gave Kate the medicine, she told Kate that she had no emotional connection with her biological daughter.
âMy mom also informed Kate that her husband and lover was James. Unexpectedly, it really worked.
Kateâs life followed my momâs expectations completely.â
He looked at Diana, expressing his joy. âDo you see? What western medical genetics can achieve, traditional medicine can do the same!â
At this point, he still only thought about these things. In his eyes, human emotions seemed to be just a part of the experiment.
âJim.â Diana restrained the pain in her heart. âYou have no heart.â
Jim raised his hand, touched his heart, and then placed his right hand on his left wrist to check his pulse. âI do have one. My heartbeat and heart rate are normal.â
Diana couldnât get through to him. âIâm tired.â
Regarding Kateâs situation, she couldnât listen any longer. Continuing to listen would be particularly draining.
She didnât know what emotions to feel for this poor woman. She also didnât know how to face her mother the next time they met.
âDo you want to meet her?â
Jim wanted to leave. He brought a computer, and there was still data to monitor for the purification of medicinal herbs. He was eager to check the computer in the next room.
At this moment, he saw Diana sitting there in a daze.
