On the second morning, Rosalynn woke up to a light drizzle outside. She stretched lazily, only to find the space next to her empty.
"Wayne?" She called out as she got up. No response.
"That's odd." Rosalynn muttered. Usually, even if Wayne got up before her, he would lay with her until she woke up.
Just as she was about to go downstairs to find him, she heard a clinking sound from the bathroom. Puzzled, she walked over.
"Wayne, you in there?" Rosalynn knocked lightly on the bathroom door.
"I'm here." Wayne's voice came from inside.d2
"Why are you up so early? Are you feeling okay?" Rosalynn asked.
"Woke up from a nightmare, I'm shaving right now. Can you heat up some oat milk for me in the dining room?" Wayne answered.
"Sure." Rosalynn replied.
A nightmare? It's been a while since he last mentioned having one.
In the dining room, Rosalynn prepared a cup of oat milk for Wayne, just the way he likes it.
While waiting for Wayne to come down, she browsed the hot news. Overnight, the attention on Mary's murder didn't decrease. On the contrary, it sparked even more trending topics.
For instance, a woman named Jeannie went live to address netizens' suspicions. When she failed to smear Mary, she ended the livestream and left.
Additionally, people started to suspect the numerous instances of her daughter's episodes in Jeannie's videos were due to her deliberately withholding medication to trigger them. Then, someone from Jeannie's hometown posted a video. The video showed Jeannie and her daughter, who was chained up. It clearly recorded the whole process of Jeannie provoking her daughter.
Her attitude and words were just nasty.
