He sat silently in his car.
The rain continued to pour, and the windshield wipers swayed back and forth.
He had heard the most heartwarming words.
She said she would come to him.
After being away for so long, he could finally see her alone.
Yes, he was a scheming man.
He knew that Cecilia still loved him and couldnât move on, and he took advantage of it.
Half an hour later, Ceciliaâs car slowly pulled up next to Markâs and stopped.
She got out of her car and entered Markâs vehicle.
Mark turned to look at her.
Cecilia stared straight ahead and said softly, âThereâs an alley near the main road ahead and thereâs this store.
They should have milk powder from this brand we need.
â
Mark reclined in his seat.
He stared at her and whispered, âCan you drive?â
Then he gently held her hand and added, âI might have a fever.
â
Cecilia furrowed her brow.
She touched his forehead and found that it was indeed a little warm.
She couldnât help but scold, âAre you out of your mind? Youâre not in good health, and yet you ventured out in the rain like this.
Arenât you afraid that⦠thatâ¦â
Cecilia choked on her words.
She couldnât bring herself to say them.
Mark couldnât resist touching her hand again.
He said gently, canât go back like this.
My mother will be upset if she finds out.
Take me to a hotel and book a room for me.
Iâll be fine after a good nightâs rest.
â
Cecilia couldnât go to a hotel with him.
It was inappropriate.
Also, he needed a doctor.
