Chapter 678

A phone call suddenly came in.

Seeing the caller ID, Rosalynn's smile gradually disappeared.

She answered the phone. "What's going on?"

"Are Cory and Ivy asleep?" Wayne's voice came from the other end,

"It's almost eleven, what do you think?" Rosalynn retorted.

"I'll come up now" There was the sound of a car door closing on Wayne's end. "Just want to take a peek at them and then leave."

Rosalynn hesitated for a moment, but didn't stop him.

A short while later, Wayne appeared sharply dressed at the door of the hospital room.

Upon seeing him, Rosalynn frowned.

By her calculations, Wayne shouldn't have recovered completely yet. Just a few days ago, he had been coughing up blood...and now he was back to work already?

"What's wrong? Annoyed by seeing me?" Wayne asked sarcastically when he noticed Rosalynn's change in expression.

Rosalynn rolled her eyes at him and said, "Just be quiet, if you wake Ivy up, there's suffering waiting for you."

"Got it."

Wayne took off his watch and coat, washed his hands in the bathroom, and then gently pushed open the door to the ward. Cory and Ivy's personalities could be easily seen just by observing the way they slept. -Even when he was sick, Cory was very well-behaved in his sleep.

As for Ivy...

The kid was already sprawled across the bed, nearly rolling onto her brother.

Wayne's smile was warm as he approached Ivy, gently kissing her cheek and tenderly caressing her face, before carefully covering her round belly with a small blanket.

After that, he went over to Cory.

Cory's pale face was heartbreaking.

Wayne gently held his son's hand, which was swollen and bruised blue from blood samples and IVs.

Wayne looked down and kissed his hand.

Over the past few days, he had tried every possible ways to replace a bone marrow match for Cory.

Results would take about a week.

"Cory, don't be afraid. I promise I'll make you healthy again." Wayne's voice was affectionate as he kissed Cory's forehead. He didn't notice that Cory's eyelashes had trembled gently at his touch. Wayne stayed in the ward for about half an hour before Rosalynn nudged him out.

As the ward door silently closed, Cory opened his eyes. He stared at the back of his hand for a while, then raised it to touch his forehead.

Finally, he turned to look at his sister, who was sound asleep like a little kitten, and no one knew what was going on in her tiny head.

Outside the door, Wayne put his watch back on, his gaze subconsciously turned to Ivy's drawings.

"Did she draw so much today?"

"Her mood was bad. She spent all her time drawing, except for eating and sleeping." Rosalynn paused before adding, "Tve told her about you being her father." Wayne's eyes dimmed, "What...did she say?"

"She didn't say much. I guess she's still deciding whether she wants you or not." Rosalynn replied.

Wayne frowned, "Alright."

"Anything else? Rosalynn asked.

Wayne glanced at her, "I've already dealt with the Jared Group's trouble and gave Granny Jared a piece of land as financial compensation."

"I already know," Rosalynn replied.

Wayne acknowledged, "Let's go."

"Are we going back to the hospital?" Rosalynn asked.

Wayne was a little stunned, and when he looked at Rosalynn again, his eyes were noticeably less gloomy than before.

I'm feeling alright now, no need to go back to the hospital, Wayne answered.

Rosalynn's eyes dropped, and she calmly yet helplessly said, "Wayne, you're now Cory and Ivy's father. I hope that when you make any decisions, you'll always remember this. It's better to have never had something than to have it and then lose it. Don't mess yourself up too much."

After saying this, she went straight into the inner room.

Wayne stood in the same spot for a while.

Today's events made him feel exhausted and annoyed. But looking at Cory and Ivy, he felt completely at ease even though his Rosalynn didn't give him a good look and scolded him at the end.
