After a busy afternoon, Viola felt a headache coming on, so she went back to rest.
Half-awake, she heard some noise outside, so she got up and went out.
Once outside, she saw Zenobia closing the door.
Then she saw Wayne, who was supposed to be upstairs, sitting in the living room.
"What's up?" Viola asked, "Alan, why are you down here?"
"Mom, he came out with me. It's so lively outside. He wanted to see how we pray." Zenobia quickly explained.
Osborn kept silent.
He thought carefully about Wayne's symptoms.
Not only was he physically weak, but it seemed like... he was showing signs of poisoning.
"Why did you close the door then if he just wanted to watch?" Viola asked.
"McGill's wife suddenly came in and almost saw Alan... she's seen Alan before." Zenobia lowered her eyes, her legs still shaky, still frightened.
Viola's face changed: "McGill's wife?"
"Yes, but I don't think she saw Alan, Osborn and I reacted quickly." Zenobia spoke, looking timidly at Wayne.
Wayne's eyes were half-closed, he seemed distracted. She didn't know what he was thinking.
Wait...
She knew what he was thinking...
He was thinking about that shameless woman Rosalynn, wasn't he?
Just because she was prettier?
Zenobia's heart was in turmoil.
"Alan, you look tired, take your medicine and go to sleep." Viola lovingly walked over to Wayne.
"He won't take his medicine tonight, after leaving the island, we'll go to the hospital for a check-up, then decide whether to continue the medication." Osborn suddenly said.
"You actually wanted to die before? Why?" Osborn was shocked.
"I've always remembered, I had someone I loved very much, but she seemed to not love me, she was afraid of me... When I was rich and healthy she didn't love me, now that I've become like this, she would hate me even more, she would never love me. So, what's the point of living?"
Osborn didn't understand Wayne’s mindset, but he was greatly shocked.
Because she didn't love him, so he didn't want to live?
"Life isn't just about love, you can do many other things. Life is so long, you'll find a new love!" Osborn said urgently.
He had never considered letting Wayne die.
"That's impossible." Wayne's eyes were half-closed, "Even if I lose my memory, my heart always tells me, I can only love her. I can't love anyone else."
So he felt desperate.
So he thought, he didn't need to live anymore.
"So, what has changed your mind?” Osborn asked.
