After a moment, she murmured softly, her voice filled with apologies, âWaylen, Iâm sorry, but I canât accept your offer.
â
Waylen frowned.
Before he could respond, his phone rang.
It was Lyndon calling.
Rena, no longer interested in talking to him, instructed, âAnswer the phone.
â
She stood up and made her way to the bathroom, ignoring Waylenâs attempts to stop her.
Left alone, Waylen sat on the edge of the bed and picked up the call.
On the other end, Lyndonâs voice was filled with urgency.
âWaylen, Elvira urgently needs RH-negative blood due to excessive bleeding.
The hospitals here in Braseovell donât have enough supply, so itâs impossible to obtain it quickly.
Waylen⦠I wouldnât ask for your help unless it was necessary.
Can you please come to Braseovell?â
Instinctively, Waylen glanced at Rena.
She was freshening up, and it was evident she had overheard the conversation.
She paused momentarily, and then continued brushing her teeth with a touch of force.
Then, she proceeded to make breakfast.
What had she heard?
Elvira, his first love, required the same blood type as him, making them a perfect match.
Renaâs inner turmoil dissipated.
She resolved to sever ties with Waylen completely and allow him to be with his precious Elvira.
Once he was able to think it through, he would surely go back to Elvira.
Waylen watched Rena enter the kitchen.
He could tell that she was unhappy and she still had feelings for him.
Hearing no respond from Waylen, Lyndonâs impatience got the better of him.
âWaylen⦠Waylen⦠Can you make it? I hope youâ¦â

In a cold tone, Waylen responded, âI know you saved Ceciliaâs life before and Iâm eternally grateful for that.
The thing is, Iâve been busy recently and unable to travel to Braseovell.
How about this? Iâll go to the hospital, have some blood drawn, and send it to Braseovell by plane.
â
Lyndon felt both disappointed and relieved.
He was disheartened because Elviraâs condition was grave, and if Waylen came, he could offer her comfort and readily provide blood when needed, a convenience that home couldnât offer.
Waylen hung up the phone after the exchange.
