"Dad always said to take care of you." Cory gently patted Ivy on the back, "If he knew you were crying and I couldn't soothe you, he'd be upset with me."
"I won’t keep crying! I'll cry just for today!" Ivy was heartbroken. She had been missing their parents terribly these past few days, counting the days on her fingers until they returned, but now that their mother was back and their father wasn't. She was inconsolable.
Rosalynn crouched down, guiltily meeting Cory’s gaze.
Their eyes locked, emotions unreadable.
At night, Rosalynn put Ivy to bed after a lengthy bedtime routine.

Exiting Ivy’s room, Rosalynn went straight to Cory's room and knocked.
"Come in."
Rosalynn opened the door.
She smiled at her son, still sitting in front of his computer, "Still awake?"
"I knew you'd come to see me." Cory, mature beyond his years, switched off his computer screen, swivelled his chair to face Rosalynn, "What's up with him?"
"He's really getting treatment." Rosalynn replied, "But it's a bit complicated."
"Due to the Stein family's history of frequent inbreeding, their genes have defects, which can lead to inherited mental illnesses." Cory dropped the bombshell as he sat there.
