Chapter 1365:

Hanley stopped, puzzled by the discussion. Shaun appeared troubled. “I was almost married once. Why were you so harsh to her?”

“Almost married? To whom? Tracy?”

Hanley immediately caught on, seeing Shaun’s serious expression. He retorted with a sneer, “You’re suggesting I drove your fiancée away? You were the one who drove her away, not us.”

Jayden bit his lip and added, “That’s the reality. You didn’t value or respect her, so why would your family?”

Shaun fell silent, then asked, “What’s her name?”

“Tracy Bernard, I think,” Hanley replied uncertainly. He never really approved of Tracy as a daughter-in-law; she didn’t seem right for Shaun. Shaun sought a powerful alliance to ensure his family’s ongoing strength and prosperity.

After a brief pause, Hanley added instinctively, “Tracy isn’t right for you. She offers no benefit to our family. You might want to look for a different wife. If Dolores isn’t to your liking, there are plenty of other affluent women.”

He realized Shaun hadn’t replied. Sitting on the hospital bed, Shaun visibly shuddered at the mention of Tracy’s name.

Seeing this, Jayden asked tensely, “Are you alright? Do you feel ill?”

Shaun raised his hands, gazing at his palms. His lips trembled as he stuttered, “Tracy? Who is Tracy, and why does the name sound so familiar? Have we met?”

Jayden responded, “Tracy was the love of your life. You almost married her.”

Shaun’s lips quivered. He whispered faintly, “Tracy… my love…”

Suddenly, he cried out in agony, clutched his head, and started banging it repeatedly against the wall.

Hanley froze in horror as Shaun smashed his head against the wall. The bandages around his forehead darkened with fresh blood, each impact soaking through another layer.

“Shaun, stop! Please, stop!” Hanley snapped, lunging forward and gripping his son’s shoulders.

But Shaun didn’t respond. He kept going, as though he couldn’t feel the pain—or perhaps welcomed it.

Jayden, standing at a distance, jabbed the emergency call button. Within moments, the door burst open, and a flurry of white coats swarmed in, restraining Shaun and administering a sedative.

Shaun stopped resisting. His body slackened, his head drooping before he collapsed onto the bed, slipping into a heavy, drug-induced slumber.
