Rosalynn listened to the conversation between the two kids.
She looked at Wayne.
Initially, she wanted to mention that Ivy was now taller than Cory.
However, she noticed that Wayne was lost in his thoughts.
"Why don't you give him a call?" Rosalynn tugged at Wayne's sleeve.
Coming back to reality, Wayne glanced at his daughter and son walking ahead.d2
"You guys wait in the car for a bit."
"Alright." Rosalynn nodded.
There were too many people at Ivy's school gate. Them showing up together already attracted a crowd, making it inconvenient to stop and make a call.
Wayne moved to a quieter spot. He didn't have the boy's number saved, so he had to resort to his phone log, he dialed the boy's number.
The call rang for a long time, with no answer.
Just when Wayne thought the boy wouldn't pick up, the boy's voice came through, "Mr. Silverman."
"Thank God, I thought you weren't going to answer." Wayne sighed in relief, "How was your day? Is your injury better? Nobody else has been hurting you, right?"
"She's gone, now it's just me and my grandma." The signal from the boy's end seemed poor, filled with static.
Wayne could hear the boy's sadness and despair.
Which child wouldn't feel lost and upset after being abandoned by their mother?
"The injury's healing, my grandma's been taking care of it. Mr. Silverman, you don't need to worry about me."
"How could I not worry?" Wayne remembered the moment he thought he saw the boy while picking up Ivy from school.
"I'm sorry to have worried you. When I get back to H City, I'll come to see you." The boy said sincerely.
