Her voice was hoarse.
Paige crumbled instantly. She clung to Rosalynn, tears streaming down her face.
“Paige, let Rosalynn change her wet clothes first,” Baillie gently tapped Paige on the shoulder.
Paige nodded repeatedly, releasing Rosalynn, “Darling, you go take a bath and change your clothes. We’ll take care of everything here!”
Rosalynn glanced at Jaime, who was handing over a paper bag.
Jaime looked as if he was on the verge of tears. Rosalynn gave him a weak smile, asking, “Are you mad at me?”d2
Jaime thrust the bag into her hands and replied,, “Just go take a shower. Don't you know how sad you look right now?”
Rosalynn obeyed. She headed to the bathroom in another room, the warm water cascading down, briefly dispelling the chill that had seeped into her bones.
She stood under the water for a moment. The emotions that had been building up inside her finally overflowed.
Her shoulders were shaking as she cried silently under the streaming water.
When Rosalynn reappeared after changing her clothes, Paige immediately approached her, saying, “Jaime got you some candies for your throat. Have a couple to soothe your throat. Are you hungry? I brought some chicken noodle soup. Want some?”
Rosalynn took whatever Paige gave to her, but the more obedient she was, the more heartbroken Paige became.
“You two are here. Where’s Trista?” It seemed as if she suddenly remembered about Trista and hurriedly asked.
“Trista is home with Laura and Calvin, and a nanny is there too. Everything’s fine,” Paige comforted her, “Have some more soup.”
Rosalynn took another couple of sips, but she couldn't swallow anymore. She thought for a moment, then turned to Baillie, “Baillie, I need your help to look into someone.”
“Who is it?”
“Penn Lange,” Rosalynn continued, “The psychologist who was supposed to treat Wayne.”
