Chapter 1749: Chapter 1749

Afflicted by this illness, even though the surgery had been successful, there was no guarantee that he would fully recover in the future.

She understood Cecilia’s situation and was unwilling to witness her getting entangled in any more trouble.

After all, Cecilia was still young, and there was no reason to forgive Mark after all he had done to hurt her solely because of his illness.

After their conversation, Mark shifted his attention to Rena.

Rena’s heart ached inexplicably upon learning about Mark and Cecilia’s divorce, but she found it difficult to express her feelings.

Instead, she simply encouraged Mark to rest.

Gazing at the ceiling, Mark said gently, “If someone suitable comes along, introduce him to her.

She’s a kind-hearted girl, so be sure to look out for her.

Waylen knows many people, so he can help.

”

Upon hearing Mark’s request, Rena was overwhelmed with deep sadness.

“Uncle Mark, please don’t say that,” she implored.

Mark forced a smile.

But Rena’s sorrow lingered even after leaving the hospital.

Once in the car, she leaned against the back seat and silently cried.

Waylen sympathized with her.

He held her shoulder, offering comfort while carefully wiping her tears with a tissue.

“Don’t cry.

This only means that they weren’t meant for each other.

It’s better to part ways now.

”

Gazing at Waylen’s handsome face, Rena mumbled, “No, not at all.

Cecilia must be heartbroken.

”

Waylen leaned in and planted a ki*s on her, whispering in a husky voice, “Pregnancy has made our dear Ms.

Gordon more sentimental.

”

He then gently rubbed her belly and playfully suggested, “You might probably feel better once this little one is born.

”

Rena, however, pulled his hand away and softly said, “Waylen, we’re discussing something serious here.

”

But before Waylen could tease her further, his phone rang.

He picked up and found it was Korbyn.

He asked, “Where are you, Waylen? Come home now.

”

Waylen replied, “Okay, I’m on my way.

”

He then hung up the phone.

Turning to Rena, he said, “Dad asked us to go home.

It seems that something urgent has happened.

”

Rena speculated, “Then it must be about Uncle Mark and Cecilia’s divorce.

Waylen, he doesn’t want us to talk about his illness.

When we get back home…”
