Chapter 1925
On the second morning, Rosalynn woke up to a light drizzle outside. She stretched lazily, only to find the space next to her empty.
“Wayne?” She called out as she got up. No response.
“That’s odd.” Rosalynn muttered. Usually, even if Wayne got up before her, he would lay with her until she woke up.
Just as she was about to go downstairs to find him, she heard a clinking sound from the bathroom. Puzzled, she walked over.
“Wayne, you in there?” Rosalynn knocked lightly on the bathroom door.
“I’m here.” Wayne’s voice came from inside.
“Why are you up so early? Are you feeling okay?” Rosalynn asked.
“Woke up from a nightmare, I’m shaving right now. Can you heat up some oat milk for me in the dining room?” Wayne answered.
“Sure.” Rosalynn replied.
A nightmare? It’s been a while since he last mentioned having one.
In the dining room, Rosalynn prepared a cup of oat milk for Wayne, just the way he likes it.
While waiting for Wayne to come down, she browsed the hot news. Overnight, the attention on Mary’s murder didn’t decrease. On the contrary, it sparked even more trending topics.
For instance, a woman named Jeannie went live to address netizens’ suspicions. When she failed to smear Mary, she ended the livestream and left.
Additionally, people started to suspect the numerous instances of her daughter’s episodes in Jeannie’s videos were due to her deliberately withholding medication to trigger them. Then, someone from Jeannie’s hometown posted a video. The video showed Jeannie and her daughter, who was chained up. It clearly recorded the whole process of Jeannie provoking her daughter.
Her attitude and words were just nasty.
Even more infuriating was that Jeannie carried out a conversation with the person filming while provoking her daughter.
“Isn’t this wrong? The kid was normal, why are you triggering her episodes?” The cameraman asked.
“What do you know?” Jeannie rolled her eyes, continuing to provoke her daughter, “The netizens are sympathetic. I made a few dozen bucks from the last video! If I make more videos, I can save up for her brother’s wedding!””
“Shouldn’t that money go to her treatment?” The cameraman asked. From NôvelDrama.Org.
Jeannie rolled her eyes again, “You really don’t understand anything! I post videos online every day, and maybe some rich people will see how pitiful I am and offer to help with her treatment! Just like that kid with leukemia online, his grandparents posted videos, and all these kind people donated, found hospitals and bone marrow donors…
Rosalynn felt disgusted by Jeannie’s actions first thing in the morning.
“What’s wrong?” Wayne’s voice sounded.
Rosalynn looked up, only to see Wayne had already come downstairs.
“What happened to your wrist?’ Rosalynn quickly walked over.
Wayne was wearing a long-sleeved robe, but Rosalynn still spotted a bit of a bandage sticking out from his sleeve.
“Oh that.”Wayne seemed relaxed, “I didn’t hold the razor securely and when it fell. I instinctively caught it and cut a bit of my skin, no biggie”
“Don’t use that kind of razor anymore. You hurt your face last time too.” Rosalynn frowned.
Wayne always preferred traditional razors over electric ones.
Even after his amnesia, that hasn’t changed
“Okay, I’ll listen to my wife and throw it away later!” Wayne smiled gently, coaxing Rosalynn, “Is the oat milk ready?”
