Recently, Rosalynn had been making trips back home, while Wayne had been sticking by the hospital like glue.
"Wayne, I've sorted everything out. Once Jacob's condition stabilizes, we'll move him to our own hospital. You can go home now, and get some proper shut-eye. Cory and Ivy were asking me this morning if Daddy's coming home today."
Wayne's eyes were a bit teary, "Alright, you've been working hard."
"Go home now; I'll go check on Erica."
Wayne furrowed his brows, "If she starts talking nonsense again and tries to wreck our relationship..."
Rosalynn laughed, "Why are you still hung up on that? She can't break us; off you go!"
Rosalynn gently nudged Wayne, who went ahead and hugged her once more, "Come back soon."
"Sure thing."
After Wayne left, Rosalynn went to Jacob's room and saw Erica sitting by his side.
"You're here." Erica looked much better and even managed a smile.
Rosalynn sat opposite her with a smile and glanced at Jacob.
"You two made up?" Rosalynn asked.
Erica looked a bit awkward, "Not entirely. It's more of an adult relationship. And your faking death really put me through the wringer. Wayne kept grilling me for years... He said that if it weren't for me, you wouldn't have died. Even though I didn't understand why, I knew he wasn't just picking a fight. I felt guilty for a long time; I even went to see a psychologist!"
Erica didn't have many friends and she considered Rosalynn one of them. And because of her prank, Rosalynn disappeared without a trace.
