Chapter 1995


    “Why don’t you give him a call?” Rosalynn tugged at Wayne’s sleeve.c2


    Coming back to reality, Wayne nced at his daughter and son walking ahead)


    “You guys wait in the car for a bit.”


    “Alright.” Rosalynn nodded.


    There were too many people at Ivy’s school gate. Them showing up together already attracted a crowd,


    making it inconvenient to stop and make a call.


    Wayne moved to a quieter spot. He didn’t have the boy’s number saved, so he had to resort to his


    phone log, he dialed the boy’s number.


    The call rang for a long time, with no answer.


    Just when Wayne thought the boy wouldn’t pick up, the boy’s voice came through, “Mr. Silverman.”


    “Thank God, I thought you weren’t going to answer” Wayne sighed in relief, “How was your day? Is


    your injury better? Nobody else has been hurting you, right?”


    “She’s gone, now it’s just me and my grandma” The signal from the boy’s end seemed poor, filled with


    static.


    Wayne could hear the boy’s sadness and despair,


    Which child wouldn’t feel lost and upset after being abandoned by their mother?


    “The injury’s healing, my grandma’s been taking care of it. Mr. Silverman, you don’t need to worry


    about me.”


    “How could I not worry?” Wayne remembered the moment he thought he saw the boy while picking up


    Ivy from school.


    m sorry to have worried you. When I get back to H City, I’lle to see you” The boy said sincerely.


    Wayne subconsciously looked back at where the car was parked


    Rosalynn was standing by the car, seeing him look over, she gave him a gentle smile and a wave.


    Wayne’s expression softened, “Alright, my wife and I wille to see you when you’re back.”


    The boy agreed.


    Suddenly, the static from the boy’s end grew louder.


    “Mr. Silverman, I have a poor signal here, let’s n to meet when I get back…


    “Okay”


    The boy hung up.


    It was then that Wayne realized he forgot to ask the boy’s name.


    “I’ll ask next time we meet.” Wayne murmured, then walked towards Rosalynn.


    “What did he say?” Rosalynn asked.


    “The person who hurt him is gone. He’s now with his grandma, who treats him well.” Wayne answered.


    Seeing Wayne visibly relieved, Rosalynn squeezed his arm, “That’s good to hear.”


    “He said he’lle to find me when he gets back to H City. I’ll bring you along Wayne added.


    “Sounds good.” Rosalynn nodded with a smile, “Let’s head home and talk more about this. Ivy will be


    starving soon.”


    Ivy needed her food on time, and she would be upset if she didn’t get to eat.

    As Rosalynn and Wayne got into the car, Cory was helping his sister unwrap a chocte bar.


    The chocte wasn’t from their home, it was from Sarah, which he saved for his sister.


    “You always feed her the good stuff.” Rosalynnughed helplessly, “What if you turn her into a little


    piggy?”
