The Secret Heir's Return to Wealth and Love novel Chapter 2218

In a heartbeat, everything changed. The usually stoic Wayne was suddenly gripped by anxiety.

Clad in a hospital gown, he stood still, his pale face highlighting the redness creeping into his eyes. He scanned his surroundings frantically.

"Wayne." Penn's voice emerged from behind.

Wayne whipped around, his voice hoarse with urgency, "Is she here?"

Penn nodded gently, "She just left."

Wayne's eyes fell, sorrow written all over his face, "You should've told me she was coming. I didn't want her to see me like this."d2

"Mrs. Silverman was on a business trip and stopped by unexpectedly; I didn't know myself," Penn reassured him, supporting Wayne's arm. "Don't worry, you might look a bit thinner, but you're still looking sharp."

Wayne fell silent again.

Penn personally escorted him back to his room.

"Did you actually see her just now?" Penn asked, curious.

Wayne shook his head.

"Just a feeling then?"

Wayne paused before answering, "Her scent was in the wind."

Penn was taken aback. Rosalynn had come in without even applying makeup, and there was no trace of perfume on her.

"Penn, when can I see her?" Wayne asked, his voice strained.

Penn tucked him in, "When your hallucinations are completely gone. I believe it will be soon."

But Rosalynn hadn't left.

She was hiding nearby, her heart aching as she watched Wayne search for her.

Mike escorted a weary Rosalynn away.
