The Secret Heir's Return to Wealth and Love novel Chapter 2159

At that time, Rosalynn knew her place as an understudy in this grand drama of life, and she would never dare to question it.

It was during a casual chat with Maddie that she heard about Wayne's troubled sleep. "That boy's been a restless sleeper since he was a tadpole," Maddie shared, a hint of worry in her tone. "Once I overheard him calling out his uncle Ayden's name in his sleep. Next morning, he snuck out behind Natalie's back to have Father O'Malley come over and bless the house. It's gotta be Ayden's restless spirit, God rest his soul. Poor kid met such a tragic end. Probably envies our Wayne, smart as a whip and with more potential in his little finger than Ayden had in his whole body."

Rosalynn's skin crawled upon hearing this.

She made it a point to find out how Ayden had died. For the following week, she too was plagued by insomnia, fear gripping her heart.

Wayne, on the other hand, seemed to sleep peacefully, especially after they'd been intimate.

Now, as she pieced together the stories, a picture began to emerge.d2

"He had a bout of asphyxiation today due to emotional distress. Mr. Mike will fill you in..." the voice on the phone trailed off.

"Asphyxiation?" Rosalynn's heart skipped a beat.

"Yes, it's not uncommon for patients with his condition to experience such episodes. We have highly skilled nurses monitoring him around the clock. Now that Wayne's biggest issue has come to light, I suspect these episodes will cease."

Rosalynn clutched her chest, steadying her breath. She wasn't the type to cause a scene at the hospital, naturally, she wouldn't stress Penn with this.

"Dr. Lange, how long do you estimate Wayne will need for his treatment?" Rosalynn paused, a hopeful note in her voice, "Might he be home by Christmas?"

"He's expressed a strong desire to be home for the holidays, and both his care team and himself are committed to making that happen."

"I appreciate all your efforts." After another brief pause, Rosalynn continued. "I'll arrange for someone to bring some of his favorite fruits to the clinic in Munich tomorrow."

"Wayne will be thrilled."

Once the call ended, the ache in Rosalynn's heart lingered.
