The Secret Heir's Return to Wealth and Love novel Chapter 2024

"I feel much better." Rosalynn looked at Wayne, "Wayne, you once told me about your first encounter with that young boy, right? It was in Norhaven, correct? Where exactly was that?"

"Near the hospital where Paige was giving birth. The boy almost got hit by a cyclist, I saved him. I got a minor injury in the process, but I didn't tell you because I didn't want to worry you," Wayne confessed.

Rosalynn spent every day with Wayne. If he'd been injured, she surely would've noticed.

"Do you mean when I went to see Jacob?" Rosalynn continued.

"Uh-huh," Wayne nodded, "Why the sudden curiosity?"

"Well... the more I know, the more I can talk about when we meet," Rosalynn replied.d2

She wasn't a professional psychologist, and she wasn't sure if suddenly shattering a person's illusion would be harmful to them or not. So for now, she had to pretend she hadn't noticed anything. She needed to figure out when that boy had appeared.

As for treatment, she had to tread very carefully. After all, this wasn't a common psychological issue.

She didn't know Penn well enough. She might need to choose a more trustworthy and discreet team to treat Wayne.

Rosalynn's mind was a tangled mess. She forced herself to calm down and try to find a thread to pull, to unravel the knot.

After waiting for a while longer, the boy still didn't arrive. Wayne's calls to him remained unanswered. Finally, Wayne stopped waiting and ordered food from the waitress.

"We can't wait any longer. You're not feeling well, let's eat first," Wayne told Rosalynn, but Rosalynn could tell he was worried and anxious.

"He might have been held up by something," Rosalynn soothingly suggested.

"Tell me where you are, my wife and I will come to you," Wayne instructed, his voice brooking no refusal.

"There's really no need. Let's leave it at this for now. I'll get in touch with you later," the boy said, then abruptly ended the call.

In his anxiety, Wayne wasn't careful and his hand brushed against a broken piece of porcelain on the edge of the sink. A long cut appeared on his hand, blood welling up from it.

Wayne quickly turned on the water to wash the wound. But in his haste, he dropped his phone. It landed corner-first, and the screen shattered immediately.

Rosalynn, worried, had followed him to the restroom. Hearing the commotion, she didn't care that it was a men's restroom and rushed in.

"What happened?"
