"I had a sandwich," Rosalynn replied. "Anything else?"
"After Cory and Ivy take a nap, we're going to pick out furniture for the kids' room. I'll send you pictures then," Wayne said.
"No need, just let Cory and Ivy decide."
After she said that, there was an awkward silence.
"When you go out, remember to bring Ivy's water bottle and always pay attention to Cory's condition. He never showed us what he really felt. I have another meeting, so I'll hang up now."
The call ended.
Wayne and Rosalynn stood in silence for a few seconds. Then Wayne made another call to arrange things for Max. Rosalynn, on the other hand, acted as if nothing happened and returned to the conference room.

After their nap, Ivy and Cory came downstairs, and the three of them left the house with a goodbye to Hilaria.
On the way, Ivy happily chatted with her brother about Max: "I told Max that you're my brother! When he barks at you, he's saying 'hi'!"
"When will you recover? Max wants to play with you too," Ivy muttered.
"I'm happy just watching you guys play," Cory comforted her.
"Don't worry, I'll become a doctor and cure you for sure!" Ivy promised.
Cory looked at her, deeply moved, and then asked: "How many new words did you learn today?"
Ivy instantly dropped her head. Her newfound confidence in becoming a doctor vanished.
Ivy was a fascinating child.
She possessed incredible talent in color and line, but it took her three days to learn ten words.
She recognized some complicated words in the Bible, when there was a 60% chance she'd get her own name wrong. She never messed up her brother's nickname though.
