Penn was oblivious to the fact that his birthday gift wasn't just a birthday cake stained with blood, but also a planned family trip.

"That night, I cried all the tears I had in my lifetime," Penn told Rosalynn, his eyes rimmed with redness but his gaze steady. "I spent two days at home, not eating, not drinking, before I took a flight to H Country on the third day, to see Natalie for the second time."

When he dropped everything to see Natalie, Penn sensed her anxiety. Natalie had no intention of hiding it from him.

"Wayne found out about his lineage," Natalie's voice trembled. "When he confronted me, I was so scared... I couldn't help but slap him."

I'm scared... scared that Wayne will follow in his father's footsteps! Medical advancements have come a long way since then, Penn. Can you tell me if what your father said about genetics was true? For years, I've worried about this, so I had someone covertly investigate my own family's lineage..."d2

Before that was a period of war and chaos, so there was no way to trace back further.
