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.”c2

“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.
Yesterday, the people from Bane Corporation couldn’t find you, they came to me. I took care of the things I could,”
she paused, “Do you want to use your old phone?”
This wasn’t the first time Rosalynn had asked Wayne.
Just like last time, Wayne shook his head, “No, I’ll just get a new SIM card and a new phone.”
“Why don’t you want to use your old phone?” Rosalynn asked, puzzled.
“It’s full of unfamiliar and unrecognizable things, I don’t like it,” Wayne said, looking down, “But, if you want me to
use the old phone, I can.”

Wayne looked pitiful.
“Go downstairs for breakfast, the new phone has been bought, and the SIM card is ready. After eating, take me to
the park.”
“Okay” Wayne obediently nodded.
They went downstairs together.
The phone was the same model that Wayne had dropped into the river, even the color was the same.
While eating breakfast, he activated the SIM card.
There were many missed call notifications.
Wayne checked, but the little boy had not called after he left.
“Did the kid contact you?” Rosalynn asked.
Wayne shook his head, replying, “I guess he sorted things out.”
“Why don’t you call him to check?” Rosalynn suggested.
