In a soft whisper, he expressed his concern, âYouâre a woman.
Why do you have to push yourself so hard?â
With Alexis not around, Rena didnât need to hold up a facade.
She closed her eyes slightly, her long eyelashes fluttering, and replied, âWaylen, youâre biased against women.
â
Waylen fell into a moment of silence.
Speaking in a low, husky voice, he expressed, âRena, I just want to protect you.
The reason I handed the group to you was to offer you a backup, not to burden you with the role of a strong woman.
â
Rena was taken aback by his words.
This was the second time he had said something ambiguous, making her feel like her old Waylen was back!
She closed her eyes, her face flushed and her breath caught in her throat.
Just then, there came a knock at the door.
Waylen could even hear Hectorâs faint voice from the phone.
âMs.
Gordon, I brought you some medicine.
â
Hectorâs arrival seemed to fluster Rena and she murmured, âIâm ending the call.
â
With that, she hung up, leaving Waylen with a darkened screen.
Waylenâs expression turned grim.
How could Hector enter her hotel room? Where were Renaâs secretary and assistant? Why was Hector taking care of Rena himself?
Waylen felt a sense of urgency; he had to go to her!
Moreover, Rena appeared to be seriously ill.
Caressing Alexisâ head, he spoke softly.
âDad is going to find mom.
Alexis, be a good girl and stay with grandpa.

Alexis picked up her toy medical set and generously offered, âTake this and use it to treat mommy.
â
Her cuteness melted Waylenâs heart and he held her in his arms, planting a gentle ki*s on her forehead.
âDad will not only cure momâs illness but also bring her back.
â
Alexis wrapped her arms around his neck and giggled.
Waylen then took her to Korbynâs bedroom, requesting them to take care of Alexis.
He then contacted Jazlyn to arrange a private plane for him.
As he tended to his granddaughter, Korbyn playfully teased his son, âMr.
Fowler, itâs quite a scene of you to chase after your wife now!â ©
In a hushed voice, Waylen responded, âRena has a fever.
â
Korbyn stopped his teasing, empathizing with Renaâs condition, and said, âThen go! Your mother and I will take care of Alexis and Marcus!â
