Rosalynn reached out her hand.

Without hesitation, Felix snatched the medical kit from Letho's grasp and handed it to Rosalynn.

She expertly punched in the code to unlock the case, revealing eight vials of a light pink solution.

Rosalynn extracted one, her delicate fingers lightly shaking it. "But I've heard rumors," she mused, "that this is actually poison."

"That's preposterous!" Sweat beaded on Letho's brow as he shot a frantic glance at Rose.

"There's no need for this back-and-forth," Rosalynn said with a smirk. "It's easy to replace out the truth." She turned to Felix. "Why don't we give Miss Rose a little shot and see if it's fatal?"d2

At her words, Rose's eyes widened in shock. "You want to inject me with a psychotropic drug?"

"Penn assured me it's quite harmless to healthy individuals. At worst, you'll be sleeping like a baby for a couple of days," Rosalynn cooed, passing the syringe to Felix.

Felix strode over, gripped Rose's arm, and was about to administer the injection when she screamed, "STOP!" Her voice was raw with terror as she struggled vainly, but against Felix's strength, she stood no chance. As the needle hovered over her skin, Rose finally caved in terror. "It's poison! It really is poison!!!"

Letho was in disbelief. "Rose, how could it be poison? You told me it was Dr. Lange's semi-finished medicine,. Have you deceived me?"

Felix let go of her arm. Rose collapsed on the ground like a ragdoll, her limbs numb with fear, tears streaming down her face, ignoring Letho's interrogation.

"Poison? You were giving me poison?" Letho knelt before her, shaking her by the shoulders. "You said you just wanted to get back at her for bullying you. Poison?! You wanted to kill Wayne and endanger me and Dr. Lange too? How could you, Rose?!"

"Get off me!" Rose shoved Letho away. He fell backward, landing hard on the floor.

"All men are the same," she hissed, disdain in her eyes. "You think I don't know why you helped me? You just wanted to get in my bed. You walked into the trap with your eyes wide open. How is that my fault?" Letho stared at her as if she were a stranger, the monstrous woman before him nothing like the woman he loved.

Rose turned away from Letho and looked up at Rosalynn, who towered over her. "My aunt's death was a warning!" Rosalynn remained silent, her face a mask of ice.

Rose rambled on, "He'll never be cured, not really. He might seem normal for a while, but who knows when he'll snap and kill you, kill your kids, or even kill your entire family? Rosalynn, I was helping you! Don't you see?" Before she could continue, a sharp slap landed across her face.

"Where did this lunatic come from, trying to kill someone's husband and calling it help?" Paige was livid, her slap leaving Rose seeing stars.

When Rose finally looked up again, almost everyone was there, even Jacob.

"No matter how sick Wayne may be, he's still better than you and your twisted mother! After destroying Ayden and Betsy's lives, now you aim to ruin my precious granddaughter's future?" Hilaria's face was etched with rage and disgust as she glared at Rose.
