Chapter 1991
“His family is complicated. When there’s an issue, he reaches out to me. I don’t want to call him and cause trouble,
Wayne gently stated. “I’ll see how things go this afternoon. If he still doesn’t get in touch, I’ll try to reach him.”
‘Sounds good, Rosalynn nodded.
Wayne leisurely enjoyed his breakfast. He looked incredibly different from his disheveled appearance the day
before it was as if he was a different person altogether. Rosalynn even wondered for a moment if the events of
yesterday had been a dream.
After breakfast, they headed out. The park was in a remote area. They parked the car and Wayne, leaning on his

But when they found it, the entrance had been blocked by wooden planks. A sign hung above with large red letters:
No Trespassing!c2
“They’re not letting anyone in Wayne informed Rosalynn.
Rosalynn peered through the cracks in the wooden planks. There was indeed a passable space, but it was obscured
by thorny vines, just as Wayne had
said.
“How did you manage to think of following the boy into such a tight space?” Rosalynn asked, a hint of exasperation

entrance. He wondered if he’d been caught the last time he snuck in with the boy and they had sealed the entrance
as a result. Would the boy still be able to sneak into the park to sleep?
The restaurant wasn’t far from the park, so Rosalynn suggested they walk. As they passed the park’s main gate,

some recommended dishes.
“Have you heard about what happened at the park?” a diner asked.
Those dancing ladies have been spreading the news like wildfire!” another replied.
“There was a death? I heard the bathroom was covered in blood!”
Rosalynn and Wayne exchanged glances. No wonder the entrance had been sealed…
“Yeah, word is it was a young man who hurt himself under the pressure of his job,” one person added.
“The poor young people nowadays, dealing with high housing prices, low wages, and so many mouths to feed at
home. It’s no wonder they’re stressed!” another sympathized.
