Chapter 1990
After a long day of running around, coupled with the earlier emotional outpouring, Rosalynn was extremely tired. Yet, sleep eluded her. Every time she closed her eyes, she saw the vicious scar on Wayne's wrist.
Half-asleep, half-awake, she subconsciously placed her hand on Wayne's wrist. Wayne, who had not slept last night and had been busy all day, found comfort and safety in Rosalynn's presence. He slept soundly and deeply, experiencing a series of strange dreams.
When he woke up, it was already broad daylight and Rosalynn was no longer by his side. Checking the time, he realized he had missed the school drop-off time.
Quickly, he changed his clothes and headed downstairs. Just as he reached the door, it opened.
"You are awake?" Rosalynn looked at Wayne, "I thought you were going to sleep until noon."
Wayne felt slightly embarrassed, "I slept too deeply."
"You didn't sleep the night before, went so far away yesterday, and then last night..." Rosalynn raised her eyebrows, then walked in past him, patting his waist, "You're tired, it's normal to sleep deeply."
Remembering last night, Wayne reached out to hug Rosalynn.
But she swatted his hand away, "Sit on the couch, I'll put some ointment on."
Wayne's smile faded slightly, and he subconsciously covered his wrist, "Didn't you put some on last night, is it necessary?"
"Yes." Rosalynn didn't look back but brought the first aid kit over.
Sitting down obediently, Wayne watched as she gently removed the bandage. The scar had stopped being red, but it was still vicious-looking.
"It looks like a twisted worm.” Rosalynn commented.
Wayne's face changed instantly, "Don't say that..."
He was afraid of soft, boneless worms, finding them extremely disgusting.
"Hmm." Rosalynn hummed, cleaned the scab carefully, then placed a new Band-Aid over the scar, covering it with a fresh bandage.
