Since Alexisâ birth, she had had problems falling asleep.
Her fervent hope clung to the possibility of a doctorâs sudden arrival, bearing news of the babyâs recovery and the resumption of normal feeding.
She knew it was an audacious desire, yet she yearned ceaselessly.
In these past two days, her frail form had withered even more.
Lyndon arrived with Elvira.
Observing Renaâs emaciated state, guilt overwhelmed him.
âRena, 1 never intended for this to happen.
Neither did Elvira.
We both only wish for you to find happiness.

A soft chuckle escaped Renaâs lips.

Lyndonâs countenance underwent a dramatic change.
Elviraâs lovely face contorted.

Rena glanced at Waylen and smirked.

The mere sight of you makes me sick.
â
Mark subtly touched his nose.
Lyndon couldnât help but cry out, âRena, itâs not Elviraâs fault!â
Waylen calmly interjected, âMr.
Coleman, itâs time for you to leave.
Donât come back here again.
â
Elvira, unwilling to accept defeat, persisted, âWaylen⦠I donât believe you cease to care about me.
If you truly donât care, why did you leave her and come to Braseovell to assist me with the case?
Lyndon slapped Elvira across the face.
With a hint of sorrow, he stated, âWaylen is helping you out of a sense of obligation.
How could you interpret it otherwise?â
