Meanwhile, Peter hurried back to the hospital, where Mark awaited his surgery.

Peter passed the agreement to Mark, who was propped against the head of his hospital bed. He gazed at Cecilia's signature for an extended period, and a faint smile slowly graced his parched Lips.

He said, "She comes from a wealthy family and is beautiful. It's not too late for her to find someone else in her early thirties."

Upon hearing Mark's words, Peter was overcome with emotion, and tears welled up in his eyes.

Lina, wiping the sweat from Mark's forehead with a towel, was also in tears. She said, "Mrs. Evans will be here soon. You have to come out of the operating table well, or she will be sad."
