The Secret Heir's Return to Wealth and Love novel Chapter 2169

"Are you familiar with your father's skill as a psychiatrist?" Rosalynn didn't respond directly but posed her own question instead.

"He was one of the best in the world at the time," Penn replied without a moment's hesitation. It wasn't just a son's high opinion of his father; it was the consensus in the professional community.

"So, it's strange, isn't it? If he was able to help Ayden get back to a normal life, what are the chances he'd suddenly snap and commit murder?" Rosalynn's voice was heavy with implication.

Penn was smart and, piecing together Rosalynn's persistent questions about the medication, said, "You suspect there was something wrong with the medication Ayden was taking? My father had the same suspicion at first, but he carefully checked the meds himself. There was nothing wrong."

"But what if someone switched the medication back to the correct ones before your father arrived?" Rosalynn asked, emphasizing each word.

That thought sent shivers down Penn's spine.d2

"As far as I know, Ayden's medication was always handled by Ms. Albinia. She was meticulous because she worried he might take too little or accidentally overdose. She would measure out the doses my father prescribed and then give them to Ayden," Penn said, his voice betraying a rare hint of agitation. "Ms. Albinia would never harm Ayden!"

"Of course, Ms. Albinia wouldn't harm Ayden. She was carrying his child, dreaming of their future together. She'd only want his condition to improve," Rosalynn said, as if talking to Penn and yet also to herself. "So who could it be?"

"Why are you so certain about the medication bottles?" Penn asked, trying to calm himself.

Rosalynn's next words hit him like a ton of bricks.

If it truly was foul play...What were his father's last years of agony for?

"Some time ago, I had people look for Brisa to find out more about you and Ayden. They found her, but she was in a state of confusion, not saying much of use. However, after my people left, she suddenly started clutching a medicine bottle, muttering over and over that something wasn't right."

"I see. I'll go and check the packaging of the medication Ayden was using right away."

"Well." Rosalynn hung up the phone.

As evening fell, a chilly breeze picked up. The temperature seemed to drop suddenly.
