After hanging up with Penn, a sense of unease began to creep into Rosalynn's mind.

On the drive home, she meticulously recalled the details of the time Wayne had candidly shared his past with her.

Wayne had spoken about it lightly, only hinting at the timing of when he discovered the truth about his background. Rosalynn had never really pondered over it.

But now, considering Wayne's usual temperament, would he really choose to remain silent after learning such a thing, avoiding any fuss or drama?

Rosalynn thought it was unlikely.d2

Thinking about the contents of the diary, Rosalynn was restless throughout the drive, even narrowly avoiding running a red light. At last, she arrived back at Moonlit Lake without any mishap.

After spending an entire afternoon in the vault, the sky was now completely dark.

Rosalynn parked her car. Slapping her cheeks to compose herself, she finally entered the elevator.

Arriving in the living room, she walked out with a smile.

"Mommy!!" Ivy had no idea that Rosalynn was coming home today. Upon seeing Rosalynn, she screamed in delight, ran towards her, and jumped into her arms without even bothering to put on her shoes. "Why didn't you tell me you were coming home? I've missed you so much I couldn't even enjoy my dinner!"

"Really? Let mommy see if you've lost weight." Rosalynn held her daughter's face to inspect it, "Your face does look a bit thinner!"

"Really?" Ivy was thrilled.

At this moment, Cory walked in from the living room.

Rosalynn stepped forward and embraced him, kissing him on the cheek, "How have you been these past few days?"

Cory nodded in response.

Just then, Ivy asked, "Mommy? Where's Daddy? Has he gone upstairs?"

Rosalynn didn't let her smile falter as she pulled her daughter closer, "There's something I need to tell you both."

"What happened?" Ivy was visibly tense immediately, "What happened to Daddy?"

"Daddy's fine." Rosalynn reassured, "Remember how Daddy was seriously injured and came back? He still hasn't fully recovered, especially his leg and his lost memory."

"Um..." Ivy nodded seriously, still looking scared.

"So this time, Mommy found the best doctor and took Daddy to Munich. Remember, baby? You've been there before for an art exhibition," Rosalynn gently stroked her daughter's cheek, "Daddy will need to stay in Munich for treatment for the next few months."

"Can I call Daddy? Can I video chat with him?" Ivy's tears started to fall as she pouted.

Rosalynn gently embraced her, patting her back, "Of course, but only if the doctor allows it. Daddy needs a quiet environment to rest and recover quickly."

"Mommy, are you lying?" Ivy suddenly burst into tears. She then looked towards her brother, who wore a serious expression.

"Cory, is mommy lying?" she asked through her tears, "Last time they also said Daddy was on a business trip... but that wasn't true..."

Cory stepped forward and hugged his sister, awkwardly patting her back, "Mommy isn't lying. Daddy and I talked about it."

"Why didn't you tell me?" Ivy asked through her sobs.

"Because you're Daddy's little princess, he can't stand to see you cry." Cory softly replied, "If you cried, he would surely not want to go for treatment. But it's not good for Daddy to always be unwell, right? You also don't want Daddy to forever not remember how you two met, not remember him being your Handsome Mister, do you?"

Ivy shook her head while sniffling.
