Wayne nodded.
Just before he came downstairs, he made sure to check himself in the mirror.
He didn't feel any different from usual, but Larkin noticed at once that he had lost some blood.
After a game, everyone at home was back.
Hilaria had someone take away the game controller and shepherded everyone towards the dining room.
As Wayne was heading over, his phone buzzed twice.
He checked it. It was a message from the boy.
"Mr. Silverman, how's your injury? My grandma just got home, I'm home too."
Wayne switched off his phone, didn't respond immediately.
With Orval and Jaime around, dinner was a blast.
Even Erica, who hadn't been able to eat for days, managed to eat a little more tonight.
During dinner, Rosalynn also chatted with everyone.
But most of her attention was on Wayne.
For some reason, she felt that he seemed a little off today.
After dinner, Rosalynn received a message from Penn.
"Ms. Jared, can I trouble you for lunch tomorrow?"
Rosalynn thought about her schedule.
She was also quite interested in meeting this psychologist, so she agreed.
"Sure, I'll be the host, I'll pick the restaurant. Let me know if you have any dietary restrictions."
Penn replied quickly, "I'm vegetarian, just need some veggie dishes on the table."
Vegetarian?
Rosalynn went ahead and booked a well-known vegetarian restaurant in H City, and sent the details to Penn.
"Whose message was that?" Wayne handed Rosalynn a cup of juice, asking.
Rosalynn put down her phone, made some space for Wayne to sit next to her, took the juice and said, "It's the psychologist who is treating Madeleine. I promised him I would treat him to a meal."
"When?" Wayne asked.
"Tomorrow." Rosalynn answered.
Wayne said, "I have a meeting tomorrow, are you planning to go alone?"
"You don't like meeting these kinds of people, right?" Rosalynn gently stroked Wayne's head, "I won't push you. I made this promise, I can go alone."
"I don't mind meeting him." Wayne looked down, "You can go and see if he really is that good."
Wayne's attitude towards psychologists had changed.
Rosalynn was pleasantly surprised, "Alright."
"You're so happy?" Wayne asked with a smile, then paused, lowered his eyelids, turned his palm up, held Rosalynn's hand, fingers intertwined lightly, "What if I really do have a mental illness?"
"First of all, at most you have some post-traumatic stress disorder. And secondly, if you're sick, we treat it. What's there to worry about?" Rosalynn answered without hesitation.
Wayne looked at her and then laughed, "Why so serious? That won't happen, I'm fine right now."
Right.
He just has some post-traumatic stress disorder.
As long as he follows the psychologist's advice and takes his medication on time, he will definitely get better.
At that moment, Jaime urgently called Rosalynn over.
Rosalynn replied, squeezed Wayne's hand, and then got up to leave.
The cloud in Wayne's heart cleared.
He pulled out his phone and responded to the boy's message.
"I'm fine, don't worry."
