Chapter 740

Rosalynn pushed the door open and walked in.

Ivy was stunned for a moment, then her mouth drooped down, not moving at all, looking at her sadly.

Seeing Ivy like this, Rosalynn couldn't help but feel heartbroken. She quickly approached and asked, "What's wrong? Your nose is all red from crying."

Ivy weakly jumped from Paige's arms into Rosalynn's, saying, "Mommy, poor Max."

"I know," Rosalynn said softly, patting her back and nuzzling her head. "Are you hungry? Your big brother brought your favorite snacks in the car outside."

Ivy looked listless, not in the mood for snacks, but she wanted to see her brother.

So she immediately went to say goodbye to Max.

Looking at Max's current state, Rosalynn felt a mix of sadness and anger.

After a while, Ivy stood at a distance from Cory outside the car.

"Come on, it's fine," Cory said.

Ivy shook her head. "Brother, Max will be all right. My godmother said dad's like Superman, even the Grim Reaper has to kneel before him. He'll save Max, don't worry." Rosalynn glanced at Paige. "You said that?"

Paige touched her nose. "What else could I do? She was crying so hard, and my heart almost shattered. I had to pass the pressure to President Silverman."

Rosalynn looked at Wayne again. "Did you agree?"

Wayne nodded.

"What if Max can't be saved?" Rosalynn whispered.

Paige shrugged, indicating it wasn't her responsibility.

Wayne was calm. "Impossible."

Rosalynn shook her head helplessly.

Looking back, Cory had already unbuckled his seatbelt, gotten out of the car, and walked over to Ivy, scooping her up in his

arms.

"Cory!" Rosalynn exclaimed.

She hurriedly jogged over, trying to pull the two apart.

But Cory didn't want to let go, looking at Rosalynn. "I took an allergy pill."

Rosalynn was even more confused. "Why didn't you tell me before you took it? You can't just take random medicine now, you know that, don't you?"

"Mommy," Cory looked at Rosalynn firmly. "Ivy's really sad right now. Can we talk about this later?"

Even though he was only five, and many people thought their family favored his sister more, only Cory knew that it was actually his sister who wasn't favored.

When he was sick, his sister had to give up things she liked. Usually, it was okay if he was fine, but if something happened to him, his sister's needs were never prioritized. Just like now.

Would hugging really kill him? Definitely not. If it wouldn't kill him, then why couldn't he give his sister the hug she needed?

Cory rarely spoke like this to Rosalynn, so Rosalynn was also taken aback.

"Brother, don't be mad at mommy," Ivy said through her sobs.

"Okay, Cory said, releasing Ivy's hand. He took a piece of chocolate from his pocket and handed it to her. "Here, have some." Ivy sniffled a few times

She raised her head to look at Cory, unable to resist asking. "Max won't die, right?"
