"How've you been lately?" Rosalynn asked gently.
Liam nodded, "I’ve been fine."
"Those guys got what they deserved." Rosalynn pulled out an IOU note, "This is for you."
Liam hesitated for a moment, then accepted it.
The weather had turned cold, and his hands were chapped, looking red and swollen.
Rosalynn felt a pang of pity.
"Thanks." Liam looked at the content of the note, whispering a low "Thanks".
He was too young at that time.
He had no idea how much money his parents had borrowed.
Was it really the amount that Abby told him?
"You should go back to school tomorrow, nobody will bother or bully you anymore..." Rosalynn paused, then said again, "Liam, I like you a lot, would you like to live with me?"
Liam was slightly taken aback.
He looked up at Rosalynn, his brows slightly furrowed, showing surprise, confusion, and... a bit of panic.
"I have another son, Ivy's twin, who's into physics, chemistry, math and the like just like you. You guys would definitely hit it off." Rosalynn continued.
"Cory Jared?" Liam asked.
"Yes, have you met him?" Rosalynn asked.
Liam shook his head, "He just arrived at school and solved a math problem I couldn't."
Rosalynn didn't downplay it, "Yep, his math skills are definitely something. You guys should hang out and learn from each other."
A gentle new mom.
A well-off new home.
Everything seemed so tempting.
But...
"Thanks for the offer. I saved Ivy, you helped me out, we're square now." Liam said, "You should go."
This outcome was within Rosalynn's expectations.
Liam was very strong.
How could he possibly be willing to rely on others?
