He quipped, âOh, you think Iâm good? Well, compared to Mr.
Evans, Iâm just an amateur in the art of charming ladies.
â
Cecilia bit her lip and remarked, âYes, heâs quite skilled in that department.
â
Her words carried a tinge of jealousy.
It didnât go unnoticed by Peter.
He awkwardly scratched his head, momentarily at a loss for words.
To his surprise, Cecilia added, âIâm just teasing.
Iâm going to go see him now.
â
Observing Ceciliaâs retreating figure, Peter couldnât dismiss the thought that her remark was far from casual; she was clearly feeling jealous.
However, he opted not to mention it, deciding to tread carefully.
Cecilia entered the VIP ward, where Mark was peacefully asleep.
She hadnât slept all night, unwilling to close her eyes even for a moment .
The thought that Mark might vanish in the blink of an eye haunted her.
She gently placed Markâs hand on her warm cheek and stared at him, her gaze unwavering.
Peter was on his way to the ward.
However, he changed his mind upon witnessing this intimate scene and quietly withdrew.
âMark, please get better.
â
Ceciliaâs voice was almost a whisper.
Mark had been in deep slumber for a long time.
An entire day had gone by, yet he showed no signs of waking up.
Ceciliaâs anxiety grew, and she persistently sought answers.
The doctor, in a patient tone, explained, âHeâs been under an immense amount of stress, and it seems he hasnât had a proper rest in quite some time.
This prolonged sleep is his way of catching up on that.
Heâll awaken when heâs had enough.
â
While Cecilia felt some relief at the doctorâs explanation, she remained worried.
Waylen came to visit Mark, accompanied by Rena.
Observing his sisterâs forlorn expression, Waylen couldnât help but sigh.
âHe really caught me off guard this time.
â
Mark had always been a meticulous and cautious individual.
In Ceciliaâs apartment, there was likely a supply of basic medications for the children.
The servant, overwhelmed with anxiety, couldnât make a decision of what to do at that moment.
However, sheâd ultimately calm down and resort to administering the medicine herself.
