Not long after, she was coaxed back to bed by her mother.
Before going to sleep, Ivy asked somewhat puzzled, "Mom, can I call him if I miss him?"
"Not this time, honey. Daddy's gone on a really important mission. We won't be able to contact him until it's all done and dusted." Rosalynn gently replied.
"Will you miss him, mom?" the little girl asked.
Rosalynn felt a twinge of pain in her heart. She nodded, "Of course, I will."
"He'd be over the moon to hear that. Mom, can I tell you a secret? My brother and I were planning to start calling him dad from the next year!"
Hearing this, Rosalynn's emotions went haywire.
She soothed the little girl a few times, then got up and left her room.
Upon reaching the door and closing it, she covered her heart, and tears just wouldn't stop rolling down her cheeks.
"Mrs. Silverman..."
Molly approached her, looking a bit lost seeing Rosalynn like this.
Rosalynn looked at her and managed to pull herself together.
She squatted down and gratefully told Molly, "I heard you saved Cory and Ivy. Molly, I can't thank you enough."
"It's part of my job," Molly replied. Hesitating a bit, she carefully wiped away Rosalynn's tears, "Is it because my dad was too late?"
Molly had already learned about Wayne from Felix.
Rosalynn shook her head, "Molly, go rest a bit. We're safe now," she softly said, "Let me handle things in the coming days, then I'll reward you, okay?"
"Okay," Molly nodded, then slowly made her way downstairs, looking back every few steps.
Felix was standing at the staircase. Seeing Molly coming down, he quickly asked, "How is she?"
"She's crying," Molly replied, head down.
