Ivy tugged at Wayne's sleeve. Wayne looked away and played his move on the chessboard.
Who had left? He wondered, casting another glance upstairs.
Just then, Jaime's call came in.
Wayne stepped aside to answer it, "Jaime, what's up?"
"Wayne, I suddenly have severe stomach pain. I didn't want to scare Ivy and Cory, so I had my sister sneak me out to see a doctor."
On the other end, Jaime was trying hard to sound in pain.d2
Wayne frowned, "Is it serious?"
"I don't know, my sister asked you to keep an eye on the kids, and I have to go to the ER..."
"Alright." Wayne hung up, then he texted Rosalynn, "Honey, drive safe. Call me if you need anything."
Rosalynn gripped her phone tightly. Seeing Wayne's message pop up, her eyes stung.
The road was clear at night.
About twenty minutes later, Rosalynn arrived at Penn's research institute.
At this time, the institute was brightly lit.
With her fists clenched, Rosalynn strode towards the building.
Penn was swamped today. After handling Madeleine's business, he had a stack of research reports to write, plus an essay. Just as he was about to make a pot of coffee to help him pull an all-nighter, a commotion came from outside.
"Mrs. Silverman, you cannot go in without an appointment. Dr. Lange is busy..."
"Out of my way!"
"Ms. Jared?" Penn put down his coffee pot and hurried out.
Seeing an angry Rosalynn, Penn understood immediately.
