Alison gave a nod, then stood up tearfully.
She had to pass the ward where Pauline was staying.
Alison took a peek inside.
Pauline was also looking at her, filled with malice and fear.
Wiping away her tears, Alison straightened her always hunched back and strode forward.

After the performance, taking advantage of everyone being at home, Baillie booked a fancy private chef. Of course, the most important thing was that Paige really wanted to eat from this chef last night, so much so that she couldn't sleep.
Everyone got into their own cars and headed to the destination.
Rosalynn checked the message Morgan had sent her earlier.
The moment she saw that Pauline almost strangled Alison, Rosalynn's brows furrowed involuntarily.
Wayne looked at her.
Rosalynn handed her phone to Wayne while she grabbed Ivy who was nattering on and on with Cory.
"Mommy, what's wrong?" Ivy asked, looking puzzled.
"Nothing, you just smell so good, I want a hug."
Ivy chuckled, then wrapped her arms around Rosalynn's neck, even giving her a peck on the forehead: "I've grown up, you've become smaller, now it's you who's acting like a baby with me!"
The cloud over Rosalynn's heart instantly lifted, she nodded with a smile: "and I like it."
After reading the message, Wayne also thought it was quite absurd.
His two children, let alone laying a hand on them, even a minor bump would make him nervous.
He couldn't believe that Pauline treated Alison like this.
