Rosalynn stared at Penn in shock. "And then?"
"In this world, there's no secret that can't be uncovered. He found out while he was still in treatment," Penn shook his head, a deep regret in his eyes, "Imagine, realizing that the one you loved died by your hand...those memories of the murder, charging through his mind...what do you think he would choose?"
"Death," Rosalynn blurted out.
Penn nodded.
Rosalynn looked terrible. "But Wayne only has schizophrenia, it's not that severe."
"Ms. Jared, you're a smart woman, I believe you understand what I'm saying," Penn said gently, "The decision is in your hands."d2
Rosalynn held the report in her hands. Her back stiff with tension.
"I understand. I'll think it over at home," she said.
"This is the prescription," Penn handed her a piece of paper, "It details the medication for his insomnia and hallucinations."
"Thank you." Rosalynn took it, her throat bitter.
"About my father's patient, that happened decades ago. Nowadays, with advanced technology and medical treatments, as long as the patient cooperates, they can get better. Look at Madeleine, her condition was quite severe, but she's improved significantly recently," Penn comforted.
Rosalynn nodded at him. Penn didn't push further. He personally escorted Rosalynn downstairs.
Once she got into her car, she took several deep breaths to steady her nerves. She was about to call Wayne when her phone rang. It was Mike.
With a weary sigh, she picked up. She was about to tell Mike that he could stop investigating the boy's whereabouts when she heard him say, "Ms. Gabriella, where are you? I'm at Moonlit Lake, but I can't find you."
"What happened?" Rosalynn asked. The last time Mike sounded this serious was when Calvin disappeared.
