Brian, having finished his conversation with the police officer, was silently relieved that he had left his wife at home.
Knowing her temperament, she might have ended up in harmâs way.
âMaggie.
â
Bart approached Maggie after having his wounds treated.
Maggie dried her tears and made introductions.
âRosalynn, this is my younger brother.
Bart, meet Mr.
and Mrs.
Hughes.
â
Taken aback by the stature of his sisterâs friends, Bart greeted them respectfully.
âItâs a pleasure to meet you, Mr.
and Mrs.
Hughes.

âNo need for formalities.
I consider Maggie a sister.
You can call me Rosalynn.
â
Bart glanced at Maggie, noticing her approving smile, and promptly addressed Rosalynn.
âRosalynn.

Observing the bandages around his arms and neck, Rosalynn deduced he was injured while trying to stop Yana.
Despite Maggieâs parents seeming unreliable, her bond with her brother was evident.
âBart, how are your wounds? Does it hurt?â
With concern in her eyes, Maggie turned to Bart.
âIâm fine, Maggie.
Donât worry about me.
Iâll be alright in a few days,â Bart reassured her nonchalantly.
Maggie ruffled his hair, hesitated, then asked, âHowâs Mom?â

She hadnât seen their mother since the incident and was unsure about her condition.
âMomâs alright.
She fainted after bumping her head, which triggered her old ailment.
The doctors said she could be discharged after a few days of observation,â Bart comforted her.
Feeling slightly relieved upon hearing this, Maggie asked, âIs Dad with her now?â
âYes,â
âThen where are you planning to sleep tonight?â
Only one family member could stay in the ward, but it was impractical for Bart to return home alone.
âI wonât sleep.
Iâ11l stay here with you,â Bart declared.
âNo, youâre still growing.
You need to get proper rest.
