Chapter 1811
Nobody told Paige about the incident when Ivy was injured, worried she’d freak out unnecessarily during her
postnatal recovery period.
By the evening, their initial plan to go crabbing with friends fell through due to Ivy’s Injury.
Everyone was on board with the cancellation.
Everyone, except Ivy.
“Larkin did a great job, I’m totally fine now!” Ivy waved her arm around, “Seriously, mom, let’s go have fun!”
“No way.”
Rosalynn didn’t say anything, but Cory rejected her.
“Cory!” Ivy was about to throw a tantrum on the spot.
She just couldn’t sit still.
Cory said firmly, “You need to rest for at least two days.”

“I won’t play with you anymore, I’ll go find dad!”
Then, Ivy huffed, walked out the door, yelling for her dad as she ran towards Wayne.
Hearing Ivy’s voice, Wayne came out from his room.
“Dad, I want to go play by the river, but Cory and mom refused!” She hugged Wayne’s leg pitifully, looking up at
him with her beautiful eyes full of pleading.
Wayne looked at her.
An image suddenly flashed through his mind of her lying in a field, her head covered in blood.
He quickly averted his gaze.
“Be a good girl, you got hurt today, you really can’t go play in the water. How about wait a couple of days? Dad will
go with you then.” Wayne squatted down, gently holding her and patting her back.
Her skin was so delicate.
Wayne’s hand lingered on her back, feeling her heartbeat.
It was strong.
His worried heart was greatly comforted by the feel of his daughter’s heartbeat.
What’s happening…
What’s happening to him…
Wayne thought reproachfully to himself.
“Okay.” Ivy rested her chin softly on Wayne’s shoulder, “Dad, you’re shaking.
Wayne’s body stiffened.
“It’s okay, I’m fine.” She hugged Wayne, her small hand patting his back, comforting him in a soft voice, “Dad, you
want to protect me, I know. I don’t blame you at all. I even like you more now!”
Wayne held his precious little girl tightly.
“Baby, I will never let you get hurt again.” Wayne whispered.
“Okay!” Her sweet laughter echoed in his ear.
To some extent, it eased the anxiety in Wayne’s heart.

Beside her stood her serious son.
“It’s secret!”
Ivy let go of Wayne, turned her head back to her mom and brother, “It’s a secret between dad and me!”
Rosalynn laughed helplessly.
Out of the corner of her eye, she noticed the doghouse.

Max had somehow come out from the doghouse, standing straight and watchful of her husband and daughter.
She thought she was seeing things.
She was about to take another look.
“Max!”
Ivy called out cheerfully, jumping out of Wayne’s arms and running towards Max.
Max immediately relaxed from his vigilance.
He lowered himself gently, his ears flipped back, and his tail started to wag.
