In response, she murmured, âIâm carrying your child; why would you be jealous?â
Waylenâs smile deepened.
He rested his chin on Renaâs head and said, âEvery time I think about the questionable things Iâve done in the past, I worry about losing you.
I fear you might leave me.
â
Rena responded with a faint smile.
As she teetered on the edge of slumber, her tranquility was interrupted by a call she remembered from Flora earlier.
âMiss Holt called this afternoon and mentioned that Harrison is scheduled for a second surgery.
Waylen, I want to visit him.
â Waylen didnât oppose the idea.
While it was true that Harrison loved Rena, he had also saved her life.
Though Waylen wished to accompany her, Rena declined.
Nestling against his neck, she whispered softly, âYou have a busy schedule.
I can ask Wendy to accompany me.
Moreover, I have bodyguards for protection.
â
Rena was an adult and didnât need to be confined at home due to an accident.
So, Waylen consented.
The next day, Rena arranged to visit Harrison with Flora.
Observing Renaâs improved condition, Flora sighed in relief.
She spoke with enthusiasm.
âThough Harrisonâs face was disfigured, Mr.
Fowler has employed a foreign expert for him.
Itâs expected his face can be restored to about seventy or eighty percent.
â
Rena remained silent.

Even if his face could recover to that extent, it would be challenging for him to return to his acting career.
Flora patted Rena gently and commented, âHis aspirations go beyond acting, actually.
â
A forced smile played on Renaâs Lips.
Wendy ushered then in and saw Aline already present.
Adept at socializing, Aline appeared to have established a close rapport with Nora Moore, Harrisonâs mother.
The anxious mother wiped her tears intermittently, the bond between the two women seeming genuine.
Observing this, Flora frowned.
She whispered in Renaâs ear, âI donât believe her intentions are sincere!â Rena was aware of it.

She knew Aline had likely anticipated her visit and disgusted her on purpose.
While Rena wasnât concerned about Alineâs interactions with the Moore family, she regarded Aline as a potential threat.
Rena lowered her eyes and hatched a plan.
Approaching Flora, she whispered her idea.
Amused, Flora chuckled and remarked, âYouâve come up with quite a clever plan.
No wonder Mr.
Fowler remains captivated by you.
â
Rena replied with a faint smile.
Aline, observing Renaâs apparent obliviousness, relaxed her guard.
She acknowledged her role.
She had orchestrated the unfortunate events that befell Rena and Harrison.
And she was unbothered by it; after all.
Rena was unaware of the truth, and Nora had shared family secrets in her naivety.
It seemed that Nora trusted her.
A hint of discomfort lingered in the air as Nora met Renaâs gaze.
After all, her sonâs disfigurement was a direct consequence of saving Rena.
