Chapter 2210 Both Jim and Sean were stunned by Samuel’s words.
Sean gazed at Jim, then at Samuel. “E-Father Samuel, there must be a mistake! How could I and Mr. Landry be…”
“That’s right.” Jim frowned. “My mother died twenty years ago, and I can’t possibly have a brother. Did my mother
rise from the dead?”
“She didn’t rise from the dead. She didn’t die.”
Samuel sighed, took out a disk from the box, and gave it to Malcolm. “Play the video.”
Malcolm frowned and hesitated before accepting the disk. He found a laptop in the room and turned it on, wanting

Frowning, Lucas passed a small projector to Malcolm, which Malcolm accepted and connected to the laptop
Seconds later, a video started playing on the white wall in front of them, revealing a woman with a pale face,
smiling at the camera.
“Hello everyone, I’m Lucy Hamilton.”
Jim, still seated, felt his whole body freeze as he stared in disbelief at the woman in the video. He felt like all the
joints in his body had gone stiff.
‘How could that be?’
The woman in the video looked just like his mother, Lucy, but the face he was staring at looked older than the one
in the photo he had seen; she seemed at least 20 years older.
Despite that, he could recognize with the first look that this was his mother. The way her eyes looked, and her

this video.

“He was afraid that people from the Landry family would find me, afraid that the Quinn family would seek revenge
on me, but I insisted on staying here in Merchant City just so I could secretly see jim more often.”
Having said that, she took out a stash of photos. They were all photos of Jim from when he was about five until he
was a grown man. Each photo was taken from a candid angle.
“These were taken by Richard for me.”
The woman’s lips curled upward. “I’m not a heartless mother, Jim. I wanted so much to hug you, to tell you that I’m
still alive, but I was too weak.”
