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 Ceciliaâs 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.
Renaâs heart ached inexplicably upon learning about Mark and Ceciliaâs divorce, but she found it difficult to express her feelings.
Instead, she simply encouraged Mark to rest.
Gazing at the ceiling, Mark said gently, âIf someone suitable comes along, introduce him to her.
Sheâs a kind-hearted girl, so be sure to look out for her.
Waylen knows many people, so he can help.
â
Upon hearing Markâs request, Rena was overwhelmed with deep sadness.
âUncle Mark, please donât say that,â she implored.
Mark forced a smile.
But Renaâs 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.
âDonât cry.
This only means that they werenât meant for each other.
Itâs better to part ways now.
â
Gazing at Waylenâs handsome face, Rena mumbled, âNo, not at all.
Cecilia must be heartbroken.
â
Waylen leaned in and planted a ki*s on her, whispering in a husky voice, âPregnancy has made our dear Ms.
Gordon more sentimental.
â
He then gently rubbed her belly and playfully suggested, âYou might probably feel better once this little one is born.
â
Rena, however, pulled his hand away and softly said, âWaylen, weâre discussing something serious here.
â
But before Waylen could tease her further, his phone rang.
He picked up and found it was Korbyn.
He asked, âWhere are you, Waylen? Come home now.
â
Waylen replied, âOkay, Iâm on my way.
â
He then hung up the phone.
Turning to Rena, he said, âDad asked us to go home.
It seems that something urgent has happened.
â
Rena speculated, âThen it must be about Uncle Mark and Ceciliaâs divorce.
Waylen, he doesnât want us to talk about his illness.
When we get back homeâ¦â
