Her lips quivered as she confessed, âI only loved one man in my Life.
â
Mark didnât want to say anything more.
He headed straight for the elevator.
He took the wheel and quickly made his way to the hospital.
Upon entering Edwinâs ward, he found the nurse tidying up, but Edwin and Cecilia were nowhere in sight.
Mark questioned urgently.
The nurse informed him, âThis afternoon, Mr.
Folwer assisted your wife with the discharge process.
Sheâs likely at the airport by now.
â
Mr.
Folwer? Mark had a hunch that it might be Waylen.
Without delay, Mark dashed downstairs and dialed Ceciliaâs number once in his car.
Cecilia picked up the call, and after a brief pause, he gently inquired, âWhy didnât you wait for me to give you a ride? Are you at the airport now? Iâm on my way.
â
âThereâs no need.
â Ceciliaâs voice came through, âWeâre about to board the private plane.
â
As Mark massaged his eyes, fatigue washed over him.
âCecilia, be sensible.
If somethingâs bothering you, letâs discuss it.
Letâs talk it through.
Please, donât act rashly, alright?â
A soft exhale could be heard from the other side of the call.
Then, after a pause, Ceciliaâs voice, thick with emotion, carried over, âMr.
Evans, maybe you canât see it, being so close to it all.
However, I developed a fear of death a few years ago after my own experience.
And Cathy was the cause of all that turmoil.
Now, you want me to look after her child and even request that I be mature and forgiving.
â
Ceciliaâs voice cracked as she spoke.

Mark whispered an apology in return.
With logic in her tone, Cecilia urged, âThink it over.
â
And with that, she ended the call.
Mark set his phone down slowly, then settled into his car, lighting a cigarette and taking slow, deliberate puffs⦠Once the cigarette was finished, he continued his drive to the airport.
Cecilia had already flown away.
Mark purchased a ticket and settled into the departure area.
He sat there silently, observing the airplanes as they took off and landed.
Waylen had brought Cecilia and Edwin to his home.
