Resting against the wall, he lit a cigarette, his voice a murmur,
âNo, I wouldnât want you.
Itâs not about your broken hand.
Itâs about me not having feelings for you anymore.
â
Cathyâs eyes held a burning anger.
Why? Cathy believed she and Mark were a great fit, but he didnât share the same feelings.
Nevertheless, she had Laura, and that was something.
Cathy stopped arguing with Mark and instead waited silently, resembling worried parents.
The doctor mistook Cathy for Markâs wife and addressed her as Mrs.
Evans when he emerged from the operating room.
âThe Little oneâs out of danger.
You must watch over her carefully in the future.
We canât allow this issue to happen again, especially since the child is still so young.

Mark offered his gratitude to the doctor.
Now, the nurse escorted Laura straight to the VIP ward.
Mark was about to visit Laura, and Cathy spoke slowly.
âMark, see how others believe we make a great pair.
â
Markâs gaze was icy and frigid.
He smirked, saying, âCathy, you havenât erased the memory of your fractured palm, have you?â
Cathy certainly hadnât let that memory fade.
For the sake of Cecilia, Mark intentionally harmed Cathyâs hand, causing her to remain unforgiving.
Thankfully, Cathy had Laura.
With this child, Mark would be shadowed by remorse.
Mark made his way to Lauraâs room.

Laura was two years older than Edwin, bearing a resemblance to Paul.
Laura stirred awake at the crack of dawn.
Her eyes widened, and with a voice as soft as a kittenâs purr, she gazed at Mark and uttered, âUncle Mark.
â
Mark caressed her hair.
In a soft and comforting tone, he assured her, âYouâre safe.
Laura, youâll feel much better after some rest.
â
Laura dutifully shut her eyes.
Her countenance remained tranquil and beautiful.
After Mark had another brief conversation with the doctor, his phone rang.
The call came from the landline at his house.
Mark guessed it was Zoey calling to give him an earful.
Mark planned to explain once he got home, so he didnât answer the call.
