The Secret Heir's Return to Wealth and Love novel Chapter 2110

The effects of the medication were swift.

Penn called the nurse over to help escort Wayne back to his room.

He didn't rush to leave.

Standing by the observation window, he watched Wayne sink into a deep sleep.

It wasn't the first time in the past few days that Wayne had mentioned the holidays.

In Penn's memory, Natalie had often lamented that ever since Wayne discovered his true origin, his sense of family had waned. The holidays were meant for family reunions, yet he would always seclude himself in his room, as if unable to face Maddie Fuller.

This pattern had lasted a good five or six years before things started to improve.

So when Wayne happily talked about his memories of last year's holiday preparations, Penn was admittedly surprised.

Only moments ago had he understood why Wayne had been so looking forward to the last holiday season. Because He had never spent such a family-centric holiday with Rosalynn.

"Sick people tend to lose weight," Cory popped a grape into her mouth, "I lost weight when I was sick, right, Mommy?"
