Lying in bed, Mark felt tears streaming down his face.
He remembered the day they met, when she saw him in the hospital and greeted him with gentleness.
She had always been so caring.
After a long while, Mark replied, âI understand.
â
After that, neither of them spoke.
At dawn, Mark had vanished from the ward.
Zoey and Lina were both filled with anxiety.
Peter hurried to the ward from the company and was startled when he questioned them extensively about the specifics of Markâs disappearance.
After a moment, he slapped his forehead and said, âHe must have gone to see Cecilia!â
Lina asked, âHow could Mr.
Evans go out in his condition?â
Zoey replied, âNow that he knows he has a child on the way, heâll do whatever it takes to see Cecilia!â
Zoey was absolutely right.
Mark changed his clothes and managed to get into a taxi.
He was drenched in cold sweat due to the pain he felt.
He told the driver the address.
The driver replied with a smile, âThatâs an upscale neighborhood.
Many wealthy people live there.
â
Though he was usually good with words, he couldnât even muster a simple polite smile in response.
Half an hour later, the taxi came to a stop.
Mark struggled to make his way upstairs and rang the doorbell.
Cecilia was at home.
As she was about to take Edwin to school, she heard the doorbell and was stunned when she opened the door.
Standing outside was Mark.
She couldnât help but wonder why he was there.
Markâs gaze was fixed on her, and he made a concerted effort not to focus on her pregnant belly.
He had come here solely to see her.
He didnât want to cause her any trouble.
