The Secret Heir's Return to Wealth and Love novel Chapter 2016

The assistant furrowed his brow.

"Perhaps, he's hiding another condition." the assistant suggested.

"We can't rule that out, so let's give it some more time." Penn glanced at his assistant, "I understand your concern, but patience is essential."

The assistant fell silent for a moment.

"You're right, after more than thirty years, a few more days won't hurt."

Penn didn't say anything else, he returned to his office and started reviewing Wayne's medical records thoroughly.d2

Meanwhile, Rosalynn and Wayne retreated to their car.

"Did Dr. Lange make you uncomfortable?" Rosalynn asked Wayne.

Wayne shook his head and replied, "He's better than the previous psychologists."

"That's good." Rosalynn squeezed Wayne's hand, "Penn's suggesting that your condition isn't severe. With proper intervention and treatment, you'll get better soon."

Wayne gave a gentle smile and nodded.

Rosalynn watched him. She couldn't suppress the sinking feeling in her heart.

Ever since she noticed something was off with Wayne, she realized that if Wayne was acting in a way that made her uneasy, it wouldn't be long before that behavior would disappear.

Like now, Wayne was cooperating with the treatment like never before, with no signs of resistance.

Rosalynn didn't know if he had genuinely come to terms with it. Or did he suppress another part of his personality because of her?

Rosalynn gently touched Wayne's cheek, the scar had healed significantly, but it was still rough to the touch.

Rosalynn pinched Wayne's earlobe, saying, "We have no other plans for today. Is there anywhere you want to go? I can accompany you."

Wayne looked at Rosalynn, his mind blank. He didn't seem to have a particular place in mind. He just wanted to be with his wife. The destination didn't matter.
