Chapter 2056
Strictly speaking, it was only after Ayden's suicide that Natalie developed the habit of fostering children everywhere. Before that, there was only one, Osmond.
In Penn's words, she was looking for emotional compensation, transferring her feelings for Ayden to other children.
"Anyway, we all probably don't want the circumstances of Mr. Ayden's last moments to reoccur,' Rosalynn said seriously, looking at Penn.
It was only upon learning the truth about Betsy's death from a hospital worker that Ayden lost his last shred of will to live.b2 "Ms. Jared, rest assured", Penn responded solemnly. "I will be extremely meticulous. The same mistake won't happen twice"
"Good, Rosalynn nodded.This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org - ©.
"The medication you need is still in my lab..." Before Penn could finish, Rosalynn interjected, "I can arrange for a plane immediately. Would you prefer I send someone to retrieve it, or would you like to have it delivered?"
"Better to have it delivered" Penn responded.
Following his instruction, Rosalynn arranged for a private plane route.
"I'm sorry if I scared you today,' Rosalynn apologized as she saw Penn off.
"You were trying to intimidate me, weren't you? If I were frightened and started lying, you could tell, right?" Penn asked, his demeanor as composed as ever.
Rosalynn didn't lie, and she admitted it directly.
Penn chuckled, "It seerns like you've used this tactic on others too. It works well, doesn't it?"
"So far, it's been pretty reliable" Rosalynn said, a rare smile on her face.
"Ms. Jared," Penn began, "In addition to studying extreme conditions, I also offer regular counseling. If you ever feel overwhelmed, I'm always available for a chat." Rosalynn looked at Penn, "Don't worry, when I really need stress relief, I'll be sure to come to you first."
"Deal!"
"Deal."
Rosalynn asked Mike to personally escort Penn back to his place.
When they returned to the hospital, Rosalynn found that the trees that had been lushly green just a few days ago were now dropping yellow leaves.
Penn was thoughtful. He seemed to be worried that Rosalynn still had concerns. Before long, Rosalynn received an email from Penn.
He didn't send all of the diary videos, just the ones from the last few days when Osmond and Natalie had met.
There was also a letter that Natalie had written to Penn on his 18th birthday.
In the letter, besides expressing her hopes and wishes for Penn, Natalie also mentioned Wayne. She said that Wayne and Penn were brothers, and they should support each other after she was gone. But before Natalie could introduce Penn to Wayne, she forgot her dear Penn due to the eraser in her brain.
After watching the videos and reading the letter, Rosalynn messaged Penn, [When Wayne's condition stabilizes, you should let him know that he has a brother.]
A moment later, Penn replied with a simple OK.
When Rosalynn returned to Wayne's bedside, he was still unconscious.
By evening, Wayne slowly regained consciousness. Whether it was the after effects of the sedative or his mental state was already in turmoil, Wayne couldn't remember what had happened earlier. He didn't know why he was in the hospital.
Rosalynn took his hand, brushed it against her cheek, and gently said to him, "You accidentally fell into the lake.
We were worried the water might be dirty and cause a lung infection, so we checked you into the hospital. Don't worry, we'll be going home tomorrow. Your daughter has already prepared everything for the camping trip. We can go the day after tomorrow."
