Chapter 360

Ivy was hella hungry.

After lunch, Wayne went with her to a nearby pet hospital.

The little kitten was pretty jittery and meowed miserably non-stop.

Ivy's heart ached as she listened, and she paced around near Wayne.

After the examination, the little cat's condition turned out to be not so good. Under normal circumstances, for this kind of stray cat, many people would give up on treatment.

But...

"Do your best to treat it," Wayne said indifferently after hearing the diagnosis, looking at Ivy who was nearly in tears. "Money is not an issue."

In the end, the kitten had to be hospitalized.

After they put the kitten in the glass partition for oxygen, Ivy spoke with it for a while before reluctantly leaving with Wayne.

Shortly after leaving the pet hospital, a strange number called Wayne's phone.

He took one look and had a gut feeling it was Ivy's brother, so he answered it.

"Sir, can you please take my sister to the gate of Bane Corp Center?" A childish yet calm voice came from the other end of the phone. "Alright," Wayne replied.

The call ended.

"Are you busy with work, Uncle?" Ivy asked.

Wayne smiled and shook his head, "Your brother is coming."

Ivy froze, then drooped her ears, "I told him I could go home by myself."

"He's just worried about you," Wayne patted her head, "Ivy's brother seems to be another genius kid."

"Yeah!"

Mentioning this, Ivy naturally beamed with pride.

"My brother is freaking awesome, he's got tons of scholarships!"

"Really?" Wayne smiled, "Your parents must be pretty proud then. Ivy is a great little artist, and your brother is just as amazing."

"Yeah, Mommy always says Ivy and Cory are her life!" Ivy was still quite proud, "Uncle, my mommy is awesome too!"

"I always hear you mention Mommy, what about your dad? Is your dad awesome too?" Wayne asked.

Ivy hesitated for a moment and thought about it.

"He should be awesome too, right?"

Laura had said that a mother who could give birth to kids like her and her brother was awesome, the dad shouldn't be far off either, even though that jerk didn't want them anymore! Wayne just nodded, it seemed Ivy wasn't exactly satisfied with her dad.

Hand in hand, the two of them strolled leisurely to the west gate, chatting all the way.

Along the way, they passed quite a few Bane Corporation employees.

Laura, her eyes swollen from crying, stood nervously beneath Bane Corp Center, waiting.

When she saw the two figures, one big and one small, appear, she almost burst into tears again.

"Ivy!" Laura called out loudly, running towards Ivy.

Getting to Ivy, she hugged her tightly, "How could you run off without giving me a heads up?! At least take me with you! I was sooo scared!"

Ivy patted her head, "Laura, I already know you're on my mommy's side, you wouldn't run away with me."

Laura was speeechless.

That was true, indeed.

"Sir..." Laura, wiping her tears, looked towards Wayne.

Wayne's gaze pierced through Laura, seemingly peering into her soul.

What were Ivy's parents thinking, leaving her unattended like this?!

"Thank you for looking after Ivy," Laura said, her expression composed. "I will... I will take her home now."

She gestured towards a nearby nanny van parked just a short distance away.

Wayne deduced that the boy, Cory, must be inside that van, right?
