Chapter 1327 Finn’s Illness (Twelve)

• With Finn so painfully sensitive—and his autism only just starting to ease up—saying something like that could mean he’s blaming himself for tearing Samantha Wembley and Chadwick Fullner apart. How could a kid carry that? Penrose’s face changed right away. “No, Finn. None of this has anything to do with you…” She was terrified he’d spiral again and undo the tiny progress he’d made, maybe even crash harder, so she rushed on, “Mommy and Daddy… Daddy worked all day. He’s wiped. So he went home to rest, and he’ll come back tomorrow to be with you…” For the moment, it was the only way she could steady him.
• Finn only opened his eyes wide and asked Chadwick Fullner, “Then is Daddy still Finn’s daddy? Is he still Mommy’s husband? Did Mommy and Daddy split up before? Will you get back together?”
• The question hit like a hammer. Both of them went silent. The room fell into a scary hush.
