Chapter 2102
Penn fell silent for a moment on the other end of the line.
Just as Rose thought she had finally gotten through to him, his calm and gentle voice came through, "Rose, if you don't like the job, think of it as a vacation in the H Country. I'll cover your expenses for the duration. The H Country is blessed with stunning landscapes and each season brings its own beauty. Just enjoy yourself."
"Penn, what are you saying?" Rose froze in place.
"You're not a professional psychologist, so let's not discuss my patients anymore, okay?" Penn's tone was still gentle, but Rose felt as if a fuse had been lit inside her.
"You like Rosalynn, don't you? You've treated her differently from the start!" Her voice grew agitated and shrill, "You never call her Rosalynn, always Gabriella. I know what you're up to! Rosalynn is a woman controlled by Wayne, but Gabriella is a free and independent heiress. Do you think by not calling her Rosalynn, you can change the fact that she's someone else's wife?"
"And you talk about carrying on your father's legacy, finishing the work he left undone!" Rose ranted on, "But now, you're ignoring the comfort of your patients all for Rosalynn!"d2
"Rose Albinia!" Even the usually mild-mannered Penn lost his cool, "Have you lost your mind?"
Standing there, Rose was gasping for breath. Then, without responding to Penn's question, she hung up the phone. When Penn tried calling back, Rose had already turned off her phone. Worried by Rose's abnormal behavior, Penn decided to call Rosalynn.
At that moment, Rosalynn had just gotten home and was helping her daughter, Ivy Jared, with her craft homework.
"Sweetie, mommy needs to take a call. You just focus on working, okay?" Rosalynn patted Ivy's head.
The girl was out of sorts today. She was listless. But thankfully, she wasn't fussing for her dad.
"What's up?" Rosalynn stepped out onto the balcony to take Penn's call.
"Did you check today's medical logs?" Penn asked.NôvelDrama.Org holds © this.
"Yeah," Rosalynn nodded, "I was planning to call you after I finished helping my daughter with her homework. Is there something specific not mentioned in the logs?"
"It's about Rose," Penn said reluctantly.
"Oh, her visa problem?"
"Yeah, she just called and made a scene," Penn admitted with a bitter laugh.
"Well, since you brought up Ms. Albinia, there are some things I've been curious about too," Rosalynn said, settling into a chair, "I personally think Ms. Albinia's fixation on Wayne is a bit excessive. Do you know why?"
"I suspect it has something to do with her mother," Penn mused before replying.
Rosalynn was familiar with most of Betsy Albinia's history. Rose had only been in her teens when Ayden and Betsy passed away.
"What do you mean?" Rosalynn inquired.
"I'm not entirely sure. After all, her mother had already died by the time I met Rose," Penn explained, "Regardless, the reason for my call is because I'm worried that in her current state of distress, Rose might do something rash. If possible, could you bring her back? I'll make sure she stays in line."
"You mean her potentially exposing Wayne's illness and the Silverman family's business?" Rosalynn asked bluntly.
"She shouldn't, in theory." But he had a nagging feeling that something was off with Rose...
"Leave her to me. You focus on your treatments," Rosalynn said calmly, "Don't worry, the secrets that have been kept for so many years by your families won't be spilled on my watch."
"Ms. Jared, Rose isn't a bad person. She's just a bit obsessive when facing certain issues and doesn't like being forced into things, so..."
Not giving Penn the chance to continue, Rosalynn interjected with a light chuckle, "Dr. Lange, by the way you're going on, one might imagine I'm about to hurt Ms. Albinia."
