Chapter 656
Jarrett already knew that Elliana was the legendary Milena, so he opened his heart completely to her.
Elliana listened intently, absorbing every painful word, and then nodded gravely.
“This devastating phenomenon is indeed directly related to taking the Psychephrenia suppressant.”
After a weighted pause, she continued with brutal honesty, “Psychephrenia is a genetic mutation-induced disease, extraordinarily difficult to cure. My mother devoted countless years to researching it and only managed to develop that suppressant, but it remains imperfect and carries significant, life-altering side effects.”
“The most catastrophic side effect of that suppressant is the irreversible damage to the reproductive system?” Jarrett asked.
Elliana nodded solemnly. “Yes, although the suppressant carried these major side effects, your wife had absolutely no other choice but to take it and accept the consequences.”
Hearing this, Ruben pondered deeply and said, “Could Sophie’s sudden, mysterious disappearance be connected to Elliana’s mother’s death? Was Sophie terrified of relapsing without anyone to provide the life-saving suppressant, so she chose to vanish completely?”
Cole and Jarrett both nodded, their minds embracing this logical hypothesis.
“My mother didn’t actually die. She simply disappeared without a trace,” Elliana explained quietly.
Upon hearing this shocking revelation, both Ruben and Jarrett turned to stare at Elliana with identical expressions of pure astonishment.
Cole had been privy to this but had kept it buried deep within himself out of profound respect for Elliana. Now that she had chosen to reveal it, it demonstrated her complete trust in his grandfather and father. She loved him deeply enough to trust his closest family members with her most guarded secrets.
This profound realization moved Cole to his very core, and he held Elliana’s hand tightly within his own, wishing desperately that they would never be apart again.
Elliana returned his fierce grip and continued steadily, “My mother was forced to fake her death to flee Ublento due to a deadly pursuit that threatened her very existence. I strongly suspect she spoke with Sophie before making her escape.”
Ruben and Jarrett nodded thoughtfully, their minds accepting Elliana’s careful speculation.

Elliana looked at them and added with quiet intensity, “A bolder theory would be that they’d planned to disappear together, leaving everything behind.”
This stunning conjecture shook both Ruben and Jarrett to their foundations.
Ruben furrowed his weathered brow in deep thought and asked tentatively, “Elliana, where does your mother originally come from, and why was she being hunted so relentlessly?”
Elliana answered with complete truthfulness, “My mother fled from overseas territories. No one knows her mysterious background. After arriving in Ublento, she remained utterly reclusive, barely interacting with anyone and never daring to appear in public spaces.”
This secretive behavior was remarkably similar to Sophie’s patterns, Jarrett exclaimed with sudden excitement. “Elliana, do you think your mother and Cole’s mother might originate from the same place?”
