Chapter 2040


    Like a bolt out of the blue.


    At that moment.


    Felix stepped forward and knocked Wayne unconscious with a swift chop of his hand.


    “Madam, we should get you to the hospital as soon as possible, Felix said without missing a beat,


    helping Wayne to his feet.


    Rosalynn, at this moment, felt as fragile as a dried leaf, ready to be carried away by the slightest


    breeze. She swayed slightly as she followed them outside c2


    Seeing her shiver, Mike quickly retrieved his jacket he had thrown on the ground and draped it over


    Rosalynn.


    “What brings you here?” Rosalynn asked.


    “Let’s get to the hospital first, and then I’ll fill you in,” Mike said. His eyes were filled with concern as he


    looked at Rosalynn.


    In Mike’s eyes, Rosalynn was always a beacon of positivity and resilience, always involved in


    charitable works, whether it was helping animals or children. In Mike’s beliefs, good people like her


    should lead a smooth life, blessed by divine forces. But life had dealt Rosalynn some incredibly hard


    blows, and now, yet another misfortune had fallen upon her.


    Mike was filled with a sudden regret. He shouldn’t have let Rosalynn know about this. As a loyal


    servant of the Jared family, it was his duty to protect the family’s peace.


    After discovering Wayne’s strange illness, he should have quietly arranged an ident” to take care of


    Wayne. That way, Rosalynn might have had to endure some pain, but it wouldn’t be like now, where the


    pain seemed to have no end in sight.


    Alternatively, he should have let Felix take Rosalynn to safety He could have stayed in the water,


    waited for Wayne to drown, and then brought him ashore. That would have been better than the current


    situation.


    As soon as Mike arrived, he had called for an ambnce from the Jared Group Hospital.


    After Wayne was loaded onto the ambnce, he was given a sedative. Rosalynn sat next to him, and


    her bruised neck was a shocking sight,

    It was clear how much force Wayne had used, and Felix felt a chill thinking about it. Thankfully,


    Rosalynn was lucky enough to not have been strangled to death


    Felix was also puzzled.


    The couple seemed to have a good rtionship. Wayne had been the picture of a devoted husband


    since he came back. Why would he suddenly try to kill Rosalynn? And the way he looked at that


    moment was terrifying, as if he was apletely different person.


    At the hospital, Wayne was taken for some tests.


    He had a few minor abrasions on his body. Aside from a potential lung infection caused by nearly


    drowning, which needed further observation.


    His most severe injuries were the kick from Felix and a dislocated arm.


    It waste into the night when Wayne was finally settled into a hospital room, where he fell into a deep


    sleep under the influence of the medication.


    Rosalynn sat in the corridor outside the room, her face as white as a sheet, staring nkly at the floor.


    Footsteps echoed from the end of the corridor, and Rosalynn looked up instinctively.


    In a daze, she saw Paige, Jaime, and Baillie approaching.


    Paige’s eyes were red from crying, and it was clear she had been crying all the way here.


    Rosalynn’s eyes welled up with tears.


    Paige rushed over to Rosalynn, squatting down to look at the bruise on her neck, her tears starting to


    flow again. She reached out to touch it, but hesitated, afraid of causing Rosalynn pain.


    “It doesn’t hurt, Rosalynn said.


    Her voice was hoarse.
