Waylen soon returned, handing the car key back to Cecilia.
He advised, âIn the future, let the driver take you when you go out.
â
Cecilia replied with a smile, âIâm just a few weeks pregnant.
I can manage.
â
âThis period is the most critical and unstable for the baby,â Waylen cautioned.
Cecilia agreed, respecting his advice.
Waylen actually wanted to drive her himself, but he couldnât leave Rena alone.
Cecilia stayed for a while before leaving.
Initially planning to leave directly, she remembered that one of Julietteâs medications had run out, and the doctor was at the in- patient department that day.
After some contemplation, she made a phone call.
A heavy silence fell upon the VIP area of the surgical department.
Ceciliaâs pregnancy wasnât very advanced, so she reached the elevator quickly and was surprised by what she saw when the doors opened.
There were two people standing there.
It was Mark and Peterâs wife.
Mark, dressed in a hospital gown, appeared much thinner with a pale face, as if he had been seriously ill.
After all, they had once loved each other.
Additionally, he was Edwinâs father, which made Cecilia reluctant to see him suffer.
She softly asked, âAre you sick?â
He had constantly been caught up in a hectic schedule and ended up in the hospital due to intoxication.
So she didnât dwell on it too much.
Following the surgery, Mark was immobile for several days.
Now he was struggling with boredom in his hospital room and wanted some fresh air.
He didnât expect to encounter Cecilia here.
She looked healthier with her rosy cheeks.
Mark couldnât help but think that perhaps their separation was for the best.
At least, one of them might find happiness.
He missed her, and his gaze lingered on her for a while.
With a faint smile, he replied, âYou know, itâs an old problem.
â
Lina wanted to say something, but Mark softly interjected, âLetâs return to the ward.
â
Lina stood there in a daze and Mark had to raise his voice.
