“Honey, it’s no problem.” Rosalynn said in a gentle tone.
“When I get busy, I sometimes overlook the small stuff too.” She walked ahead, looping her arm through Wayne’s, “This isn’t the shirt you had on this morning”
“I got that one dirty” Wayne replied, “Honey, today was an exception, no matter how busy I get in the future, I promise I’ll keep in touch with you”
“Alright.” Rosalynn’s hand softly caressed Wayne’s back, “If you say so, I’ll do the same.”
The couple continued their conversation as they headed towards the elevator.
Ivy loved seeing her parents being affectionate. She happily trailed behind them.
Suddenly, she noticed something.
“Dad”
Wayne and Rosalynn both turned their heads towards her.
“What is it, sweetheart? Wayne asked.
Ivy glanced at Wayne’s leg, then looked up. “Dad, where’s your walking stick?”
Wayne was caught off guard.
Ableson, who was following behind vy, was also taken aback.
He’d been sensing something off about Wayne.
His walking stick!
Wayne hadn’t been using it since he got out of the cab.
He looked perfectly normal while walking, nothing seemed amiss
“Right, where’s your walking stick?” Rosalynn instinctively looked at Ableson, “In the car?”
“I think he left it at the meeting place.” Ableson responded quickly
“Dad can walk just fine without his stick, he’s gotten better” Ivy shouted with joy, “I saw it, Dad walks just fine now!”
“Really?” Rosalynn turned to Wayne
Thinking back… she hadn’t seen him limping earlier.
In Wayne’s mind, memories of his walking stick began to rewind
His last memory of the walking stick, was in the restroom at the park.
“Let me give it another shot.” Wayne said and tried to lift his leg.
But the leg that was able to walk normally just moments ago, suddenly wouldn’t budge.
“It’s okay” Rosalynn quickly reassured him, “Even a temporary recovery means our treatment is working, right? Ivy, isn’t it great how quickly your dad is getting
better?”
“Yes! My dad is the absolute best!” Ivy gave two thumbs up. Seeing her dad’s health improve made her very happy.
Wayne gave his daughter a tender smile, but inside, he was feeling more and more desolate
It felt like his body was being enveloped by dampness, and he started hearing dripping sounds again.
Once they got home, Wayne excused himself and headed to his room to change into a fresh set of clothes
The living room was bustling
The Orvals were over, bringing Enca along, who was playing games with Cory and Jaime
Hilaria Jared was watching from the side, holding a wooden box full of gold beans, rewarding a few to the winner.
Standing on the stairs, he listened to the laughter.
The persistent sound of dripping water slowly faded.
“Mr Silverman Larkin’s voice echoed from the bottom of the stairs
Wayne shifted his gaze
He was carrying a bunch of milkshakes he had just bought.
formally Larkin wouldn’t let Enca have these drinks.
But now Enta’s happiness was more important than anything so Larkin let it slide
“Want one?” Larkin lifted his hand in offer
Wayne politely shook his head
Larkin looked at Wayne but didn’t immediately leave. “Mr Silverman, an you hurt?”
Wrapne expasuondass, waved his hand a bit. T just nicked myself shaving, no big deal Why?
“four injury haul fully healed, you need to take it easy You look a bit pale” After Larkin finished, he pointed towards the living room, TB head over there now?Têxt © NôvelDrama.Org.
