Chapter 1995
“Why don’t you give him a call?” Rosalynn tugged at Wayne’s sleeve.c2
Coming back to reality, Wayne glanced at his daughter and son walking ahead)
“You guys wait in the car for a bit.”
“Alright.” Rosalynn nodded.
There were too many people at Ivy’s school gate. Them showing up together already attracted a crowd, making it inconvenient to stop and make a call.
Wayne moved to a quieter spot. He didn’t have the boy’s number saved, so he had to resort to his phone log, he dialed the boy’s number.
The call rang for a long time, with no answer.
Just when Wayne thought the boy wouldn’t pick up, the boy’s voice came through, “Mr. Silverman.”
“Thank God, I thought you weren’t going to answer” Wayne sighed in relief, “How was your day? Is your injury better? Nobody else has been hurting you, right?”
“She’s gone, now it’s just me and my grandma” The signal from the boy’s end seemed poor, filled with static.
Wayne could hear the boy’s sadness and despair,
Which child wouldn’t feel lost and upset after being abandoned by their mother?
“The injury’s healing, my grandma’s been taking care of it. Mr. Silverman, you don’t need to worry about me.”
“How could I not worry?” Wayne remembered the moment he thought he saw the boy while picking up Ivy from school.
m sorry to have worried you. When I get back to H City, I’ll come to see you” The boy said sincerely.
Wayne subconsciously looked back at where the car was parked
Rosalynn was standing by the car, seeing him look over, she gave him a gentle smile and a wave.
Wayne’s expression softened, “Alright, my wife and I will come to see you when you’re back.”
The boy agreed.
Suddenly, the static from the boy’s end grew louder.
“Mr. Silverman, I have a poor signal here, let’s plan to meet when I get back…
“Okay”
The boy hung up.
It was then that Wayne realized he forgot to ask the boy’s name.
“I’ll ask next time we meet.” Wayne murmured, then walked towards Rosalynn.
“What did he say?” Rosalynn asked.
