Ivy thought it over, then she realized something.
She had survived because Max was going all out to save her, and so was Molly.
If it came down to Cain and Carney in a dangerous situation, Max and Molly would choose to stay by her side and protect her, not saving anyone else.
She remembered vividly the feeling of her breath being sucked away completely, a ton of water invading her body, the feeling of agony.
At that time, she thought she was going to die.
“They are gonna die.” Ivy said, then broke down crying.
Rosalynn let out a deep sigh.
“Lynn, why are you doing this?” Jaime felt very upset, “This hasn’t happened yet, aren’t you just stressing Ivy out?”
“Hold your tears for a sec, I haven’t finished.”
Normally, when Ivy cried like this, Rosalynn would usually give her a hug.
But not today, Rosalynn chose not to hug her.
Ivy, who was crying, immediately stopped crying. She looked at Rosalynn and nodded slightly.
“Let me ask you again, do you now know where you went wrong today?” Rosalynn's tone became more severe.
“I shouldn't have gone out on my own. When I saw the river bank was flooded, I should have taken everyone back!” Ivy said through her tears.
“That’s not the worst part, anything else?”
“I shouldn't have been fooled by the woman pretending to be pregnant, and dragged my friends along.”
Regarding the last thing, Ivy was truly heartbroken.
She never thought that someone would stoop so low as to pretend to be pregnant to trick people.
“So, if you encounter these problems again in the future, do you know how to deal with them?”
“I won't care anymore, I just won't!” Ivy immediately shook her head.
Seeing this, Rosalynn only then took her arm, gently pulling her into her embrace.
Ivy just couldn’t hold it in anymore.
She buried her head into her mom's chest, crying uncontrollably, “Mom, I just wanted to make Cain happy, wanted to help that pregnant lady, I don't know why it turned out like this......”
Seeing this, Jaime felt really sad. He quietly wiped away his tears.
He thought to himself, Ivy was just a six-year-old little girl, her thoughts so pure, always thinking about making those around her happy.
The one in the wrong was that crazy woman named Jennifer!
What has his precious little girl been through?
She almost died! And now she is being scolded!
Shouldn't they be holding her, comforting her right now!!
His sister is just too cruel!
He glanced subconsciously at Wayne.
He wanted to signal Wayne with his eyes, asking him to stop Rosalynn's cruel actions.
But, Wayne was looking at his wife and daughter, as if he was meditating, no matter what strange expressions Jaime made, Wayne didn't notice.
Jaime was speechless.
He knew, in this lifetime, there would never be any understanding between him and his brother-in-law.
“Lynn, it's dinner time now, aren't you hungry? Let Wayne take care of Ivy, let’s go eat!” Jaime hurriedly said, then nudged Cory lightly with his leg, “Right, Cory!”
“Uncle, excessive spoiling can ruin a child.” Cory didn't look at Jaime, but simply replied, “The same applies to you.”
At this moment, Ivy was crying hard in her mom's arms.
She let go of her mom, her eyes filled with tears, and said, "Mom, but I don't know, if I encounter the same situation again, what should I do. Can...can...can you teach me?"
