Then, with contentment in his gaze, he produced something from his briefcase.

It was an amulet necklace.

Gently, Mark fastened the necklace around her neck, his eyes imbued with depth.

"I got one for Rena as well. Promise me you'll wear it throughout this month.”

Unable to resist, Cecilia delicately caressed the talisman.

Mark affectionately patted her head and whispered, "I wish for both you and Rena to stay safe."

Cecilia murmured, "| want to give it to Lexi.”

The one who needed protection the most was her little niece Alexis.

Upon hearing this, Mark's expression saddened. He was unsure if Alexis was fortunate or not, given that Waylen had descended into madness and no longer cared if he had to destroy mankind just to save Alexis.

From his wallet, Mark produced an additional card linked to his account and placed it in Cecilia's hand.

Cecilia was taken aback.

What...

What did he mean by this gesture?

‘Stammering, she asked, "We... We..."

Mark didn't provide a straightforward answer but spoke tenderly, "It's an additional card to my account. Use it to buy whatever you desire.”

Overwhelmed with emotion, Cecilia appeared on the verge of tears.

Though he was about to leave, his concern for her compelled him to console, "I'll come to see you later. Cecilia, please take good care of Rena for me..."

Cecilia nodded obediently.

However, as he rose to depart, she couldn't help but grasp the hem of his attire, her voice trembling, "Mark."

He gazed back at her with gentleness.

Holding the centurion card, Cecilia felt uneasy. Summoning her courage, she asked with trepidation, "What do you mean by all of this?”

Mark smiled warmly.
