There were too many uncertainties at that time.

He wasn't sure if Alexis would pull through.

He wasn't sure... if she would eventually forget him.

Waylen couldn't help but hold Rena tightly. He had never been one for sentimentalities but now he felt an overwhelming sense of gratitude... Grateful for all the people who had helped bring Rena into his life.

‘An hour later, Waylen brought Rena back to the Fowler family house.

The Fowlers were all ecstatic upon learning about Rena's pregnancy.

Korbyn was leisurely smoking but as soon as he spotted Rena, he promptly extinguished the cigarette, standing up to approach her.

"Juliette has been praying hard and it seems to have worked. She prayed every day and, finally, you're pregnant.”

He rubbed his hands together and eagerly looked at Rena's belly.

Waylen helped Rena sit down and added, "It's only five weeks. It's still early.”

Korbyn fetched a glass of water, placing it in front of Rena and inquired with genuine concern about her well-being.

With a smile, Waylen turned to Rena and remarked, "This baby is a big deal. I've never been doted on like this before by my father.”

With a warm smile, Korbyn playfully scolded, "Rena is the one | care about. What's all this talk about a baby?"

His smile faded slightly as he continued, "Having an additional child at home might improve Alexis’ condition.”

The subject matter weighed on their hearts.

Waylen casually sipped his tea and remarked, "Alexis has been doing much better lately.

Perhaps it's because Rena has been by her side every day, and she hasn't had time to dwell on anything else."

Korbyn nodded, feeling relieved.

As they conversed, Juliette emerged from her room, brimming with happiness.

Korbyn turned to Juliette and suggested, "Let's proceed with their wedding as soon as possible. Last time, it was unfortunate that they had a falling out and couldn't have a proper celebration. Now that Rena is pregnant... You should encourage Cecilia to spend more time with Rena and learn from her.”

Juliette readily agreed.

She had always adored Rena and longed to witness Rena walk down the aisle in a stunning wedding gown, marrying Waylen.
