Chapter 2008
Without a moment’s hesitation, Rosalynn freed up a hand to call Sean.

“Mr. Sean, Wayne is suddenly feeling unwell. I need to take him home, so please clear the venue.”
Sean had felt something off about Wayne earlier.
On hearing this, he immediately agreed without a second word.
Fifteen minutes later, Rosalynn got Wayne in the car c2
She didn’t let the driver drive, she did it herself.
Once home, Rosalynn took Wayne straight to their room.
She had him sit down on her favorite sofa in front of the French windows.
“Don’t worry, it’s okay, haven’t I told you? We can deal with sickness. It’s not a big deal, we have plenty of money, we can hire the best specialists” Rosalynn crouched in front of Wayne.
Her soft yet somewhat cold hand gently brushed over his pale cheek.
Wayne’s eyes were very red, which made him look pitiful and sickly.
Thinking about what he had said and the other Wayne, it felt like her heart was being stabbed over and over again, the pain was unbearable. “Can you tell me when he first appeared?” Rosalynn gently asked.
Wayne looked at her, “The earliest time was when I first arrived in Norhaven, he was just standing there watching me, not speaking or approaching. I could hear the sound of dripping water.” Wayne’s voice trembled, “I know it’s a hallucination, I can distinguish it clearly!”
“Good.” Rosalynn smiled, gripping his hand. “Although I’m not a professional, being able to distinguish is definitely good, it shows that the symptoms are
not serious.”
Even though Rosalynn said this, but the fact that Wayne suddenly rushed to find her today clearly showed that he was beginning to blur the line between hallucinations and reality.
He changed at the day Ivy fell into the water, and he started talking to me, started mocking me…” Wayne gripped Rosalynn’s hand tightly. “I know what he is. He is the part that I peeled off from my body, the part I don’t want! Selfish, narrow-minded, brutal… causing you to suffer grievance and pain, I don’t like him, I don’t want him! I just want him to disappear!”
Rosalynn watched and listened.
The words her grandmother had said to her in Norhaven suddenly flashed back in her mind like a curse.
“Take me to see the doctor. I want him to disappear!” Wayne looked at Rosalynn, his gaze almost pleading.
“Wayne, calm down.” Rosalynn soothed him.
“You don’t understand, he’s getting stronger and stronger, he used to not be able to touch me, but that day he almost pushed me down the stairs, if it wasn’t for Jaime Jules appearing in time…
Rosalynn was shocked.
“He can knock me down, that means he can hurt you and Ivy and Cory!” Wayne looked anxious and pained.
Rosalynn tried to suppress her surging emotions.
“Wayne, he’s a hallucination.” Rosalynn looked at him, speaking gently and seriously, “Have you forgotten? Since he’s a hallucination, how could he possibly hurt you or me and the children?”
Wayne paused, then lowered his eyelids, muttering to himself, “Yes, it’s a hallucination… how… how did I forget about that?”
