Chapter 2053
The accident was horrific, their bodies shattered upon impact, their planned plane tickets and itinerary overlooked in the chaos.
Penn was oblivious to the fact that his birthday gift wasn’t just a birthday cake stained with blood, but also a planned family trip.
“That night, I cried all the tears I had in my lifetime,” Penn told Rosalynn, his eyes rimmed with redness but his gaze steady. “I spent two days at home, not eating not drinking, before I took a flight to H Country on the third day, to see Natalie for the second time.”
When he dropped everything to see Natalie, Penn sensed her anxiety. Natalie had no intention of hiding it from him
“Wayne found out about his lineage, Natalie’s voice trembled. “When he confronted me, I was so scared. I couldn’t help but stap him c2
“Penn, you know, right? My oldest son… I drove him to his death. I thought I could change it, and I could raise a normal child. But now I realize, I’m the abnormal one. I’m scared… scored that Wayne will follow in his father’s footsteps! Medical advancements have come a long way since then, Penn, Can you tell if what your father said about genetics was true? For years, I’ve worried about this, so I had someone covertly investigate my own family’s lineage…”
A deep fear surfaced on Natalie’s face. She discovered that at least four of her close relatives had developed mental illnesses over the past decades, which led to their deaths
Before that was a period of war and chaos, so there was no way to trace back further
Penn knew that Natalie was not looking for comfort, and he should not lie.
Before he came here. Penn used a key from his briefcase to open his father’s safety deposit box at a bank. Inside, he found Ayden’s medical records and files, including genetic maps of Ayden and Natalie.
He spread the map out in front of Natalie, and carefully explained the latent imperfections in Ayden’s genes, “Therefore, perhaps there were issues with your parenting, but genetic defects are an objective factor too.”
“Penn!” After a long pause, Natalie suddenly grabbed Penn’s hand. “You’re studying this now, you’re even better than your father. Can I entrust you with something? I’m getting old. I don’t know when I’ll die. The Silverman family are all heartless, once I’m gone, Wayne will be all alone.” Natalie’s hands trembled, her eyes welling up with tears “You need to help him. If one day he ..
“You helped my father, and you helped me. It’s only right that I do the same. If that day ever comes, I’ll do everything I can to cure him.” Penn replied.
“But since Natalie entrusted you with this, why did you never appear in Wayne’s life? Even when Wayne was hospitalized due to my fake death, you only visited him through Olivia Whaley? Rosalynn asked with a stern voice.
“The possibility of Wayne going mad cannot be discovered by anyone. You should know very well that there were threats lurking around Wayne during those years. If I were to frequently appear in the Silverman family, someone would inevitably trace it back to who my father was. No secret can be kept forever. No matter how well Natalie covered it up, as long as someone determinedly investigates, they will find clues about Ayden’s cause of death….
It’s like a domino effect. Once Ayden’s cause of death is revealed, it’ll set off a chain reaction
Once someone realizes that Wayne could potentially follow in Ayden’s footsteps, and that I am the key to curing him, Ms. Jared, do you think I would still be alive today?” Penn paused for a moment, hisnovelbin
expression became somewhat sorrowful. “As for later… I did visit Natalie, but she no longer recognized or remembered me.”
