The Secret Heir's Return to Wealth and Love novel Chapter 2032

As if grasping at a lifeline, Ayden held Betsy so close, as if trying to physically meld her into his own body.

It was written in Osmond's case files.

That day, Betsy asked him countless whys, and her tears were almost dry.

Osmond even provided her with a counseling session.

The scene of their reunion was so emotional, so touching, that even Natalie, with her usual icy demeanor, didn't stand in their way anymore.

In order to encourage Ayden to accept his treatment, Betsy promised him that she would be there with him every day, as long as he cooperated with his therapy.d2

The psychological treatments of thirty years ago were not as advanced as today.

Rosalynn read through the treatment plans listed in the case files, the yellowing paper only enhancing the feeling of pain and suffocation that was evident all those years ago.

But Ayden persevered, motivated by the promise of seeing Betsy each day.

Half a year passed. Spring was in full bloom when Ayden's condition was finally brought under control. The case files noted his discharge from the hospital on April 8th.

Turning the pages of the file, the next record was a year later.

Betsy was dead. Because Ayden had relapsed, attacking Natalie at their home before being sent back to Osmond.

Upon his return, Osmond noted: "The patient is unusually agitated, a significant change from before."

Underneath this was a transcript of Osmond's sessions with Ayden.

"Natalie is heartless, she knows Betsy saved my life! She should be grateful, shouldn't she? But she's not. She told me that Betsy was a good girl, that she agreed to let us be together. But she said I must still marry another woman and that Betsy could be kept on the side. She promised Betsy wouldn't be mistreated!"

"What does she think Betsy is? She not only said these things to me, but she even went to Betsy! Betsy is in pain! I won't get married with another woman, I won't, not even if they kill me. I only want Betsy, I can't live without her!"

"Betsy's dead, she's dead! It was Natalie! Natalie must have hired someone to kill her! I was so close, so close to killing Natalie and avenging my Betsy! Dr. Lange, I'm in so much pain. Every cell in my body aches. Stop treating me, let me be!"

"What kind of professor are you? Did Natalie's dirty money make you forget your ethics and your duty?!"
