Chapter 1453

Kate Renforth was her biological mother?

Diana couldn’t tell if she felt happy or disappointed.

She signaled for Jim to go on.

“Kate is my mother’s good friend,” Jim said. ‘They’ve been friends since young, but she doesn’t remember my mother now.”

He ignored the urgency in Diana’s eyes, and lifted his arms in a gesture to remind her to breathe.

“Relax. Otherwise, I won’t go on.”

He didn’t want Diana doing anything that might harm the babies.

Diana had to do her best to relax herself. She even pulled over two pillows and tucked it behind her.

That was when Jim finally went on, “Kate took the pill that erases one’s memories, like the one you took.”

He said it way too casually.

It immediately exposed the reason behind why Diana lost her memories back then. Yet, she didn’t recall ever telling Jim about this.

“I concocted the medicine you took,” Jim said with a smile. Diana realized that his smile now was very different from his usual warm and humble smile. This time, his smile was filled with extreme confidence—mockery, even.

A thought started forming in Diana’s mind. “Professor Hughes.”

Her voice remained unchanged. She was less agitated hearing about the medicine, compared to finding out that Kate was her biological mother.

She was indeed worthy of being the woman whom Julian loved.

She was also worthy of being the mother of the fetuses Jim selected.

Jim’s odd gaze didn’t stop Diana from talking.

“You don’t like me,” she said.

This was her answer after Jim asked her to make a guess.

Jim didn’t deny her claim. It seemed she had guessed it right.

“You don’t like me, but we seem to go way back, and you went to such great lengths to fool me into coming to Jacroaof. You treated me so well, and even booked the entire hotel for me. You even know about my biological parents, but only told me half of the truth in Richburgh. You also called James over, and made him stand guard outside the hotel. Why in the world did you do all these?”

She didn’t sound like she was questioning him. Instead, she seemed to simply be narrating what had happened thus far.

“Professor Hughes, please go on,” she urged.

She believed that Jim would tell her the truth today. She thought about her current plight, and the fact that both hers and Betty’s phones had no signal, and fell silent.

She was afraid he was confident that he had her confined and well within his control.

He would never release her until he got what he wanted.

‘Your genes combined with Julian’s would definitely result in excellent children,” Jim said, suddenly switching topics.

As a mother, Diana immediately became alarmed. “Are you doing all these because of my children?

Where is Sean?!”

She finally lost control, feeling as though someone had thrown her into hell. She glared at Jim, “Where is Sean?

What did you do to my Sean?!”

“He’s in the training camp,” Jim said doubtfully upon seeing Diana’s reaction. ‘You’re the one who told me that.”

He had no idea that Sean was the one helping Lucas out. He didn’t understand why Diana was so agitated.

“He’s not my target, and neither is Betty.”

He pointed casually at Diana’s stomach. He did it so naturally, but it was enough to make Diana break out in a cold sweat.

“My target, and what I want, are the two babies in your womb.”

He came clean with his motivation, not hiding anything.

“After your two babies are out, I’ll pick one and keep it by my side.”

Jim’s words were beyond shocking for Diana, who found it hard to process what he was saying.

‘You really like children, but don’t want to have any of your own?” This was the only possibility Diana could think of. “Do you have a health condition?”

Jim shook his head, clearly displeased. “Diana, I’m not done with my story.”
