With a faint smile, Mark replied in a hushed tone, “Isn't she already angry with me? I didn't want to add to her anxieties."

Zoey hesitated and asked, "Did you really sign the divorce agreement?"

Mark remained silent but fixed his gaze on Zoey.

Zoey held her son's hand with her wrinkled ones and couldn't find it in her heart to blame him any longer.

Afflicted by this illness, even though the surgery had been successful, there was no guarantee that he would fully recover in the future.

She understood Cecilia's situation and was unwilling to witness her getting entangled in any more trouble. After all, Cecilia was still young, and there was no reason to forgive Mark after all he had done to hurt her solely because of his illness.

After their conversation, Mark shifted his attention to Rena.

Rena's heart ached inexplicably upon learning about Mark and Cecilia's divorce, but she found it difficult to express her feelings.

Instead, she simply encouraged Mark to rest.

Gazing at the ceiling, Mark said gently, “If someone suitable comes along, introduce him to her. She's a kind-hearted girl, so be sure to look out for her. Waylen knows many people, so he can help.”

Upon hearing Mark's request, Rena was overwhelmed with deep sadness.

“Uncle Mark, please don't say that," she implored.

Mark forced a smile.

But Rena's sorrow lingered even after leaving the hospital.

Once in the car, she leaned against the back seat and silently cried.

Waylen sympathized with her.

He held her shoulder, offering comfort while carefully wiping her tears with a tissue.

"Don't cry. This only means that they weren't meant for each other. It's better to part ways now."

Gazing at Waylen's handsome face, Rena mumbled, “No, not at all.

Cecilia must be heartbroken."
