Chapter 1184

She knew it. God wouldn't have her go through such a tough time these past two years for nothing.

In the room, Liam listened to the excited chatter of the family outside. A red mole near the corner of his right eye looked a bit evil under the light.

He smiled.

His fingers brushed against the pendant hidden under his thin sweater. It was made from his parents' melted wedding rings.

He knew this family would react this way when they found out he had saved a rich kid.

But their dream would only last till tonight.

Soon, they would face a nightmare.

He thought of Ivy, her smile so carefree.

He thought, I'll borrow your parents. I saved your life, so this is a fair trade.

The next morning, Rosalynn carefully examined Ivy's wound, making sure it wasn't infected. Only after confirming that, she let out a sigh of relief.

"Mom, I'm not in pain anymore, don't worry!" Ivy hugged Rosalynn's head and lightly patted her shoulder. "I'm really brave!"

Rosalynn laughed and allowed Ivy to hold her tightly. She gently embraced Ivy's small body and said, "Mom isn't as brave as you. I was terrified..." "It's okay! It's okay!" Ivy reassured Rosalynn. "You'll have to comfort Dad later too. He was even more scared than Mom," Rosalynn mentioned.

Ivy sighed helplessly.

"I know, he cried yesterday..."

"Yes, your dad is actually very fragile. Baby, could you call him dad from now on?" Rosalynn asked gently, "You called him dad yesterday. He was really happy." Ivy thought for a while.

"It's not my decision alone. I have to discuss it with my brother!"

Rosalynn laughed, "Okay."

"Are you going to work, mom?" Ivy asked.

Rosalynn had already dressed to go out when she came in.

"Yesterday, a boy saved you. Daddy and I are going to thank him," Rosalynn told Ivy, being transparent about the situation. Ivy blinked in response.

"I want to go too!" Ivy added after a moment. "I know him!"

"You do?" Rosalynn was surprised. "You mean... you know the person who saved you?"

"Yes," Ivy nodded.

She had seen Liam yesterday. He came out of the school and went against the crowd when he noticed what was happening. Ivy saw him take out a slingshot. After hearing Ivy's story, Rosalynn was still puzzled. "He's in fourth grade, how do you know him?"

"His picture is on the honor roll board at school. He's always the top student in the grade, so cool!" Ivy looked like she admired him a lot.

Rosalynn finally understood. By "knowing" him, Ivy meant she knew who he was.
