Korbyn's eyes welled up.

Actually, he didn't want to engage in lengthy conversations with Mark.

After all, it wasn't only about Mark and Cecilia; both Edwin and Rena were also in a difficult position.

However, Korbyn felt sympathy for his daughter.

Korbyn contemplated for a while during the way there and eventually said, "You're Rena's uncle and Edwin's father after all. You and Cecilia should maintain a friendly relationship as family in the future. It would be good for both of you."

Mark's Lips trembled.

Korbyn also felt sad.

He pat Mark on the shoulder and said, “I wasn't against you two being together because Cecilia liked you. I couldn't sway her. Her mother introduced many accomplished young men to her, but she turned them all down, for you. In the end, it still didn't work out between you two."

Korbyn was genuinely saddened by the situation.

He refrained from saying much and headed to the corridor to have a smoke.

Shortly after, Waylen and Rena arrived.

Rena was heavily pregnant. Waylen had initially tried to dissuade Rena from coming, but she insisted on coming to see Edwin. Observing him on the drip, Rena was deeply concerned.

Rena stayed with Edwin for a while and then excused herself to use the bathroom.

Unbeknownst to her, Cecilia was in the bathroom as well.

Upon seeing Rena, Cecilia cried out, "Rena!"

Rena closed the door.

Cecilia had always been close to Rena. She leaned on Rena's shoulder and sobbed softly.

“All these years, I never regretted my choices.

But when Edwin disappeared, I truly wish I had never met Mark."

Cecilia lamented that if she hadn't fallen for Mark when they first met, she wouldn't be suffering like this today.
