Chapter 1927
Penn paused slightly.
In his mind, the fact that Rosalynn was willing to expend resources and energy to find him for Madeleine meant that
Madeleine was extremely important
to her.
“Got it.” Penn didn’t ask why. “Remember our last phone call? You promised to treat me to a meal when you got
back to H City.”
Rosalynn, “Sure thing, Dr. Lange. Just let me know when you’re free and I’ll set it up.”
“Alright.”
Before Penn could finish his sentence, he heard the sound of a door opening.
“I’ve gotta deal with something right now. We’ll catch up later.” Penn continued.
“Sure.”

Penn pocketed his phone and turned to face Faustina, who had just entered.
“So, Dr. Lange, how did it go?”
Originally, Madeleine’s treatment had been going well and Faustina had been quite happy about it..
But that very night, Faustina seemed to have aged twenty years, her hair had turned mostly white.
She’d never imagined that a slip of the tongue on her part would cause such a massive tragic.
When that kind hearted person she could always reach had called her the day before, she had no idea about the
horrifying events unfolding on the other end.
Only when her child at home saw news about Jeannie online and told her about it, did she realize what had
happened.
She immediately tried to call that kind–hearted person to apologize and explain, but she couldn’t get through.
Now that Madeleine’s treatment was showing results, Faustina was terribly worried that her daughter’s treatment
would be halted because of this incident.
She spent the whole night unable to sleep, slapping herself countless times.
After much thought, she had no choice but to seek Penn’s help.
“What happened between you guys?” Penn asked,
He wasn’t particularly interested in online gossip, so he had no idea what was currently a hot topic on the internet.
“It really had nothing to do with us! I never thought Jeannie would have such ideas!” Faustina burst into tears.
“When I told her about it, she said I was being duped. Who’d have thought she’d turn right around and take her
daughter to that monastery!!”
From Faustina’s intermittent sobbing, Penn managed to piece together the whole story.
“So, because you didn’t keep your promise and told others about your daughter getting the treatment, it led to a
child who was about to be adopted being killed on the spot by a crazy person. And the person who was about to
adopt this unfortunate child is one of the kind–hearted people helping your daughter?”
“That’s exactly it!”
“I see.” Penn nodded, his tone remained steady throughout, even after hearing such shocking news, he didn’t react

treatment will continue.”
Faustina was dumbfounded. Then, her legs gave way and she collapsed on the floor, covering her face and sobbing
uncontrollably.
“If I knew my loose lips would get that child killed, I’d rather sew my mouth shut than say a word!”
Penn stood up, went over to Faustina and squatted down, patting her shoulder. “Madeleine is still easily affected by
the emotions of those around her. It’s better to cry it out here with me, but make sure not to bring your emotions
outside.”
Faustina nodded repeatedly. With Penn’s consolation, her emotions gradually calmed down.
After drying her tears, she left, full of gratitude.
Penn stood up, looking at the door that had been left ajar. The thin woman had already left.
He went back to his desk, picked up a bottle of alcohol, sprayed a bunch on his hands, and slowly wiped them dry.
Then, he called his assistant.
*Check my schedule for me.” Penn said, glancing at his calendar, “Make sure to avoid the start of school term in H
Country.”
