\u201cYes,\u201d Haskell confirmed. \u201cWe\u2019re going straight there.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
He noticed she was carrying a larger backpack instead of her usual small shoulder bag. A slight smile touched his lips. \u201cIt looks like you\u2019ve come fully prepared for the\u00a0<\/p>\n
interrogation.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Larissa hugged the backpack to her chest and patted it. \u201cOf course. You can\u2019t go easy on someone like him.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
After a moment\u2019s thought, she added, \u201cThough, given his lack of backbone, I doubt all of my tools will be necessary.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Haskell didn\u2019t dispute her assessment. \u201cEither way, I\u2019ve already ordered lunch to be delivered to the asylum. We\u2019ll eat first and then get down to business.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Larissa\u2019s face lit up. \u201cPerfect. We\u2019ll need our strength for what\u2019s to come.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
An hour later, they arrived at the Regal City Asylum, a quiet, slightly dilapidated facility located in a remote suburb. Since they had an appointment, the director and a nurse were already there to greet them and show them to the dining hall. After their meal, they were personally escorted to Thatch\u2019s private room.\u00a0<\/p>\n
CRASH!\u00a0<\/p>\n
As they approached the door, they heard the sound of shattering porcelain from inside.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cGeorge! I told you to call my son! Are you deaf?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWhy isn\u2019t he here yet? Did you even tell him I asked for him?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Inside the room, the world\u2013renowned psychologist, George, calmly observed the overturned meal tray without a hint of annoyance.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cMr. Palmer,\u201d he said with a slight smile, \u201cgetting angry like this every day is bad for your health.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Thatch looked furious. He glared at George. \u201cGeorge, don\u2019t you forget, I\u2019m the one who hired you to treat my son!\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cBut Mr. Palmer,\u201d George replied patiently, \u201cyou are the one who currently requires counseling. Your son is psychologically sound and does not need my services. If you continue to refuse treatment, it puts me in a very difficult position.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cMy mind is perfectly healthy!\u201d Thatch roared.\u201d don\u2019t need any treatment! I\u2019m warning you, George, if you cross me, you\u2019ll be dead the day I get out of here!\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Just then, Larissa pushed the door open and walked in. Both George and Thatch turned to\u00a0<\/p>\n

11:00\u00a0<\/p>\n
Chapter 555\u00a0<\/p>\n
look.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The moment Thatch saw his son, his face lit up with crazed delight. He tried to leap from the bed, but two nurses held him firmly in place.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cHaskell! My dear boy! You\u2019re finally here to see me! You\u2019ve come to take me home, haven\u2019t you? Look at me! I\u2019ve become a wreck since I was brought to this place! I\u2019m your father. How could you let me suffer like this?\u201d Thatch cried, his voice filled with anguish.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Larissa shot back without mercy, \u201cYou remember you\u2019re his father now? Where was that thought when you sent your illegitimate children to try and kill him?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Thatch\u2019s face darkened, and he glared at Larissa. \u201cDon\u2019t you spout your nonsense here! I never wanted to harm Haskell! He\u2019s my most brilliant child! What would I gain from hurting him? That was all Draven and Valeria\u2019s doing, a foolish act born of their own\u00a0<\/p>\n
resentment!\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Haskell had Crispin wheel him into the room.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m here to give you one last chance,\u201d he said, his voice flat. \u201cWhen you swapped my brother with your bastard son, who did you sell him to?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
