Chapter 2052


    During that period. Osmond seemed to age a decade overnight in his video logs, his demeanor


    drastically agitated.


    He said, “Madam has nourished my entire family. I must protect hers”


    He also said, “Ayden is like a younger brother to me. He’s smart and kind. I must cure him”


    From these videos, Penn could sense the gratitude and affection his father had for Natalie


    A bond that wasn’t blood-rted but was even stronger c2


    He remembered Natalie’s words, how she considered his father as another son. Would a mother ever


    harm her own child?

    The day Ayder died, Osmond sat in front of the camera, looking defeated like never before. He rubbed


    his face and hung his head, taking a long time to finally say, “Ayden’s gone. He left decisively… I


    couldn’t hold him back. What good are all my studies, all my research papers? I couldn’t even save my


    little brother. Then, Osmond harshly pped himself on the face.


    The next record involving the Silverman family was from four yearster, it was the year Osmond and


    his wife died in a car ident.


    In the video, Osmond exhibited a distress that had long been absent, “I’ve already told her, Ayden’s


    sickness was inherited. How could she… How dare she keep Ayder’s descendant?!”


    “Today.. I went to see the Madam, and we had a fierce argument. She firmly believes that Wayne is


    healthy, that Ayden’s sickness was her fault because she pressured him too much. She says she won’t


    pressure Wayne, so he won’t get sick.”


    Today.. I went to see her again, and we had another fierce argument. She says Wayne is her only hope


    and warned me not to tell anyone about this, or it would be a betrayal to her. How could I betray her? I


    was just…” He sighed heavily, looking exhausted, and then wordlessly turned off the video.


    Two months passed, and the topic was brought up again in the videos.


    But, Osmond didn’t seem as troubled. He yfully shook a small toy in his hand, “Today, I went to visit


    the Madam again. We didn’t fight this time. She introduced me to Wayne. What a beautiful child, even


    more so than our Penn… He seems perfectly fine. Perhaps I shouldn’t be so fixated on what hasn’t


    happened yet. Instead of feaning. I should focus more on my research. Even if history repeats itself, as


    long as I make progress, as long as I make enough progress, I won’t let the tragedy happen again”


    Osmond paused, his expression softened, “The Madam has changed a lot. She seems to have


    stepped out of the shadows of Ayden’s death.


    Thest video was the day of the ident. As soon as the video started, Penn broke down into tears.


    Osmond, d in a suit, and his wife, in an elegant dress, stood in front of the camera together, “Today


    is a workaholic’s day off. Our son has been protesting, so-”


    His wife, all smiles, raised her hand high and excitedly said, “So we’re not working today, we’re going


    home to surprise Penn!”


    “What kind of surprise?” Osmond asked, looking adoringly at his wife.


    “Of course, it’s the ind trip Penn has been looking forward to!”


    The image before him blurred, and his parents’ excited voices were the only things left
