The Secret Heir Return To Wealth And Love

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.

Paige jogged up to Rosalynn, concern etched on her face. "You're holding your chest, are you okay?"

Rosalynn shook her head gently and then glanced up at the sky, "I'm just looking forward to Christmas coming early this year."

Erica wasn't feeling well and had retired directly to her room at Moonlit Lake after leaving the chapel.

Rosalynn, for once, had some time to herself. She suddenly remembered she hadn't visited Natalie's grave since the funeral. With all the recent revelations swirling in her head, she took Felix and headed straight for the quaint riverside town.

Leaving H City, the weather took a grim turn, and though the heater was on in the car, Rosalynn felt a chill seeping into her bones. Perceiving Rosalynn's melancholic state, Felix chose to remain silent, effectively blending into the background.

Midway, Rosalynn suddenly remembered something. "Have you heard about the recent events with the royal family of R Country?"

Felix nodded. "It's been all over the news."

Simon's death had left his family with a grudge against the queen. Last month, they even attempted to assassinate her during a family dinner.

The queen was gravely injured but survived after a desperate struggle for life.

Simon's family was ruined by the scandal. They were all thrown in jail, and rumors had it that Simon's mother and brother, the masterminds, were executed in secret.

"They say it was for Simon," Felix scoffed with disdain. "They just wanted to burn their boats and install a monarch who'd support them, as if we didn't know they'd alienated several magnates from H Country. The queen was fed up with them."

"At least you and Molly are safe now," Rosalynn said flatly, a cold comfort in the midst of turbulent thoughts.
