If he didnât take her home, she would end up at the welfare house and her already pitiful life would probably be worse for her.
By the time Mark got back to the Evans Gardon, he still had blood stains on his shirt.
On his wedding day of all days, he was stained with blood.
It was very ominous.
With Laura in his arms, Mark went to the house.
It was quiet everywhere.
Only some domestic staff were around, taking off the wedding decorations.
This scene was quite unpleasant for him to look at.
âWhere is Cecilia?â Mark asked one of the staff in a hoarse voice.

With lowered head, the woman answered, âShe went back to Duefron with Mr.
and Mrs.
Fowler.
But Miss Rena and Mr.
Waylen are still here.
Mrs.
Evans is not feeling well.
The doctor has come to see her several times already.
â
Markâs heart tightened when he heard this.
Without another word, he carried Laura inside.
When he pushed Zoeyâs door open, he saw her lying on the bed.
Waylen and Rena were by her bedside comforting her.
Mark walked in quietly.
When Zoey noticed his presence, she immediately sat up and stared at him and the child in his arms.
She couldnât help but feel that her son was hopeless and stupid.
Yes, the child was really pitiful.
But wasnât Edwin also pitiful?
Edwin was old enough to go to school.
But Mark hardly spent any time with his own son.
Her finger pointing at him, Zoey snapped, âWhy did you come back here? You obviously donât care about your wife and son, or even your familyâs dignity.
So why did you still come back home?â
Mark gently laid Laura down on the sofa, before he went to the head of Zoeyâs bed and knelt down.
He didnât say anything to defend himself, because he knew he had failed to do right by Cecilia and had let her down.
Zoey didnât even look at him.
Mark had hoped that Zoey would go to Duefron, butâ¦
âYouâve made such an ugly scene today and embarrassed us all.
Iâm too ashamed to go to Duefron,â Zoey spat angrily.
