As her words trailed off, she caught sight of the vibrant red in the sink.
“Good heavens!” Rosalynn hurried over, clutching Wayne’s hand, “What happened?”
“I cut myself here,” Wayne pointed out the spot on the ceramic tile.
Rosalynn glanced at it, and sure enough, there was a sharp corner, still adorned with some of Wayne’s skin.
“It’s alright, it’s just a long cut,” Wayne reassured Rosalynn.c2
Rosalynn remained silent. She picked up Wayne’s cell phone from the ground and said, “We need to get you to the hospital for disinfection and bandaging!”
Wayne tried to protest, but he could tell that Rosalynn was not in a good mood. He had no choice but to comply.
Ableson saw Wayne coming out with an injury, and his heart felt numb.
On the way to the hospital, Wayne tried to distract Rosalynn, “The kid called me. He got held up with something and asked me to apologize to you on his behalf. Next time we meet…”
“Is it because you were on the phone with him that you got injured?” Rosalynn looked at Wayne, her gaze piercing.
Wayne was taken aback, “I was just being careless.”
“Wayne, I don’t like him. Can we stop seeing him?” Rosalynn frowned, “Every time you meet him, you get hurt. The first time you got hit, then in that park you got cut, and the last time even you fell into the
lake…
“Honey…” Wayne quickly embraced Rosalynn, patting her back gently in a panic, “I’m fine, don’t worry so much.”
Rosalynn rested her forehead against Wayne’s chest, her mind a whirlwind of emotions.
Wayne’s injury wasn’t deep and didn’t require stitches, making Rosalynn’s worry seem excessive. After a simple disinfection and bandaging, and a prescription for some antibiotics, they were done.
“See, I told you I was fine, Wayne tried to soothe Rosalynn.
Just then…
“Mr. and Mrs. Silverman!”
Rosalynn and Wayne looked in the direction of the voice. It was Penn’s female assistant.
“Ms. Albinia,” Rosalynn greeted politely, “Are you feeling unwell?”
“No, it’s not me… Ms. Albinia’s gaze fell on Wayne’s bandaged hand, “Mr. Silverman, what happened…”
“I was a bit careless and got a cut. My wife insisted on bringing me here for bandaging,” Wayne replied.
“The bond between Mr. and Mrs. Silverman is really strong,” Ms. Albinia withdrew her gaze and put on a professional smile.
“Ms. Albinia, why don’t you go ahead with your work?” Rosalynn was afraid that she would pick up on something.
“I just finished my work. It’s Madeleine Winters who’s in trouble…” As Ms. Albinia’s voice trailed off, Penn emerged from around the corner. “Mr Silverman, Ms. Jared, what a coincidence!” Penn looked surprised, his gaze also sweeping over Wayne’s bandaged hand.
“Did something happen to Madeleine? The tension in Rosalynn’s nerves tightened, “What’s wrong with her?”
She tried to slit her wrists, Ms. Albinia replied, “She found out about her mother’s death and had a breakdown.* Rosalynn felt a knot in her chest, “How is she now?”
“She was found in time and is fine for now. Her father and brother have finally realized the seriousness of the situation. They are no longer insisting on Madeleine going home for the mourning period. She will be staying in my research institute for long term treatment, Penn sighed, “There’s an old saying Misfortune might be a blessing in disguise“”
Rosalynn nodded, “Just come to me for any expenses”
“Okay Penn nodded, then looked at Wayne, President Silverman, how did you get injured?”
I was just a bit careless Wayne lifted his hand, repeating what he had just told Ms. Albinia
Penn’s gaze seemed to hold a power that could pierce through anything and everything
As he turned his eyes towards Rosalynn, she suddenly felt a twinge of unease. “We have to get going. We’ll take our leave now.” Exclusive © content by N(ô)ve/l/Drama.Org.
“Alright.” Penn replied, nodding gently.
Without further delay, Rosalynn hooked her arm through Wayne’s and they made their way out of the hospital.
Seeing that it was almost time for Cory and Ivy to get out of school, Wayne suggested they pick up the kids on their way home. Rosalynn agreed.c2
Throughout the journey, she did her best to appear as normal as possible. But Wayne could still sense her unease.
Usually, they would pick up Ivy first, but today, Rosalynn and Wayne decided to pick up Cory first. Cory was surprised to see his parents waiting for him outside school, and he took a moment to process the situation.
Wayne gave him a warm smile and waved him over, “C’mon bud, let’s go pick up your sister together.”
