In silence, Waylen picked it up, his gaze then falling upon the fragile baby lying in the
incubator, her face wrinkled and pallid.
In a soft voice, Rena revealed, âThe doctor said
Alexisâ chances of survival are less than ten percent.
â
Waylenâs heart wrenched.
He and Rena had eagerly anticipated the birth of their child, yet now the baby lay alone in the incubator, deprived of her motherâs embrace, her very survival hanging by a thread.
Waylen gently wrapped his arm around Renaâs shoulder, whispering, âI willâ¦â
But Rena abruptly pushed him away before delivering a resounding slap across his face.
Consumed by fury, her chest burned with anger.
âWhat will you do? Will you find a way to save her? Waylen, where have you been when we needed you?â
He endured the sting of her slap.
He would willingly endure Renaâs blows and reproachâ¦
Yet, following the slap, Rena fell silent, fixated solely on Alexis.
The doctor permitted her a mere half-hour each day to gaze upon her child through the glass; the remainder of the time was agonizingly withheld.
Alexisâ¦
Rena would sacrifice her own life for her daughterâs without hesitation.

Once again, Waylen tenderly wrapped his coat around Renaâs trembling form.
When Renal attempted to struggle, he held her tightly.
âRena, please donât move.
â
Like Rena, he too fixated his gaze on Alexis.
Despite being premature, their daughter possessed a striking beauty.
Her delicate features mirrored Renaâs, with eyebrows that were light and graceful.
Held by Waylen, Rena, though not as physically strong as him, believed she needed to make her feelings clear.
âEvery time, Waylen.
Every time I needed you, you were always engrossed in Elviraâs affairs.
Your rare Rh-negative blood type, the divorce lawsuit⦠Does she depend on you entirely, or do you also wish to neatly conclude your first love? But our child shouldnât be dragged into this⦠Sheâs innocent! You never prioritized me.
So why did you claim you wanted to spend your life with me?â
Rena spoke with calm composure.
However, Waylen could sense the despair beneath her words.
Rena refused to succumb to hysteria.
She refused to create a scene with him.
With unwavering serenity, she continued, âYou love me and I love you.
But things just arenât that simple What more must I endure to be with you? If I continue down this path, I would be doing myself and our baby a disservice.
Waylen, this is where it ends.
