With a composed demeanor, he continued, "I've recently consulted an expert, and after some treatment, | seem to remember many things.”

Korbyn's eyes widened, momentarily thinking that his son might have regained his memory.

However, upon observing Waylen's current condition, he quickly understood something. He snorted disapprovingly, "You're just backing yourself into a corner! How could you come up with such a reckless idea?"

Meanwhile, Rena had arrived in the southern region.

Perhaps the climate didn't agree with her, as she developed a fever during the night, causing her to appear a bit absent-minded during her video chat with Alexis.

Ever the caring child, Alexis rushed back to fetch a toy stethoscope, attempting to diagnose and treat her mother.

Gazing at her little angel, Rena felt her heart melt with affection, missing Alexis greatly.

She even regretted going on the business trip.

Waylen picked up the phone and saw Rena lying on the hotel's white bed, her face unusually red from the fever. It was evident that she was unwell.

In a soft whisper, he expressed his concern, "You're a woman. Why do you have to push yourself so hard?"

With Alexis not around, Rena didn't need to hold up a facade.

She closed her eyes slightly, her long eyelashes fluttering, and replied, "Waylen, you're biased against women.”

Waylen fell into a moment of silence.

Speaking in a low, husky voice, he expressed, "Rena, | just want to protect you. The reason | handed the group to you was to offer you a backup, not to burden you with the role of a strong woman."

Rena was taken aback by his words.

This was the second time he had said something ambiguous, making her feel like her old Waylen was back!

She closed her eyes, her face flushed and her breath caught in her throat.

Just then, there came a knock at the door. Waylen could even hear Hector's faint voice from the phone.

"Ms. Gordon, I brought you some medicine."

Hector's arrival seemed to fluster Rena and she murmured, "I'm ending the call.”

With that, she hung up, leaving Waylen with a darkened screen.

Waylen’s expression turned grim. How could Hector enter her hotel room? Where were Rena's secretary and assistant? Why was Hector taking care of Rena himself?
