Wayne's head started to throb all of a sudden.
Osborn immediately turned to him and said, "Alright, stop overthinking. I won't let my mom hurt you anymore."
Wayne didn't respond.
Osborn poured him a glass of water and placed it on the bedside table.
Then he was quiet for a moment.
"Once we leave the island, I'll do everything I can to help you recover. After that, you can decide whether you want to stay or not. Right now...my sister and mom are a bit off their rockers. You have to be extra careful."
Without waiting for Wayne's response, Osborn quickly left the room.
As he went downstairs, Viola was comforting Zenobia.
"If I had found out any later, he would've been by Rosalynn's side. I almost lost Alan!" Zenobia, hugging her mom, was bawling her eyes out.
Osborn was watching.
In fact, just now, when Rosalynn was praying, he was standing behind her, wearing a mask.
Osborn clearly saw that Rosalynn was praying with deep sincerity, even shedding tears.
Osborn knew what she was praying for.
She was praying for her loved one to return to her and her children's side sooner.
What was Zenobia crying about?
She had stolen someone's husband and father, what was she grieving about?
Osborn's conscience was eating at him, knowing that Wayne almost gave up on life and seeing Rosalynn's tears.
"Mom, come with me. I need to talk to you," Osborn said, his throat dry.
Viola seemed to sense that Osborn wanted to talk to her.
"Mom?" Osborn stood up.
He looked at Viola in disbelief.
In his memory, Viola was always a gentle and kind person.
"So, you wanted to turn him into a bedridden person?" Osborn's hand was shaking.
He didn't understand.
Why did Zenobia become so paranoid, turning Viola into a heartless person?
"Zenobia just got over the pain of losing her dad. She can't lose Alan. Without Alan, she wouldn't survive!" Viola said without hesitation, "I love you and Zenobia dearly. Protecting you, making you happy, is my instinct! For you guys, I could do anything!"
Osborn felt a pang in his heart.
"I made a mistake. I should have returned Wayne to Rosalynn, not selfishly brought him back. This forced them to separate, the kids couldn't see their dad. Now the karma's here, my sister and mom have turned into devils because of my selfishness!!"
