This bedroom held their most cherished sweet memories.
When Ceciliaâs eyes were getting teary, Markâs phone chimed.
He gazed at the phone and eventually picked it up.
His tone was very gentle and loving.
âLaura?â
It was that lovely girl whose parents were Cathy and Paul.
Mark and Laura had a brief conversation over the phone.
Then, Cathy grabbed the phone and whispered, âLauraâs running a fever.
Mark, could you help find a reputable doctor for her?â
Markâs brow creased.
Why would Laura suddenly become feverish?
Cathy spoke gently.
âCould you come over for a bit? Laura likes you deeply and wishes for your company.
â
Without hesitation, Mark responded, âIâll arrange for a doctor to see her.
â
Mark then made a call to a doctor.
All this time, Cecilia observed with a detached gaze.
Once Mark finished the call, she questioned him calmly, âMark, do you plan to look after them forever? Itâs not your duty, and that child is not yours.
â
Approaching her, Markâs hand brushed Ceciliaâs hair tenderly.
He hushed his voice, saying, âHowever, that child belongs to Paul.
Due to my self-centered desires back thenâ¦â
Ceciliaâs eyes grew wide.
âMark, you shouldnât let personal feelings interfere with business!â
Mark implored Cecilia to stay composed.

Cecilia inhaled deeply and remarked, âYouâre the one who canât stay composed.
Mark, who is it that weighs on your conscience? Paul, the child, or Cathy? Are you merely using that child as an excuse to let Cathy stay in Czanch, and whatâs your plan? Will you use the visits to the child to establish an ambiguous relationship with Cathy and create a separate family outside of our marriage?â
Ceciliaâs unkind words left Mark somewhat irritated.
âI have never considered such a thing.
â
âFine.
I believe you.
â
Cecilia continued softly, âCould you refrain from getting involved in Cathyâs affairs from now on? Mark, Iâm not as remarkable as Rena, who can wait for someone for so many years and endure so much pain.
