After a moment of silence, he added, "I've brought in some experts from abroad. I'll have them check on Mark later. Our family and the Evans family are still related as long as you're with Rena. What's more, Cecilia is carrying a second child. Her baby must have a living and healthy father. Mark has to be fine. But as for their relationship, that'll be their own problem. There's nothing I can do about it."

Waylen felt so too.

He lowered his head and asked his wife, “What do you think, Rena?"

Rena felt like she was caught in the middle, but Korbyn had explained everything frankly.

She agreed with his assessment and decisions.

Later that night, Rena couldn't fall asleep. She kept tossing and turning in bed.

Waylen, who was lying beside her, put his arm around her shoulder and asked gently, "Are your breasts making you feel uncomfortable?"

As he spoke, he put his hand on her chest and gently massaged her.

"It's okay," Rena said, not bothering to stop him. She leaned on his chest and said in a low voice, "My uncle is not in a good condition, is he?"

She only gave birth a few days ago and was still recovering.

She spent most of the time in bed and still hadn't had the chance to see Mark.

But she knew the situation. Hence, she was very worried, but she could only try to comfort herself.

Meanwhile, Waylen kept quiet for a while.

Then he whispered, “His condition is indeed not very good. Otherwise, Dad wouldn't have made such a move. He's still angry about the whole thing, you know."

But what could they do to help?

Mark was Rena's uncle and also Edwin's father.

Hence, Rena was very upset to hear this piece of news.

Scared that she might worry too much, Waylen tried to comfort her, “It's mot like this is a new thing. Such problems have been solved before. Medicine has become more advanced than ever. If he's taken good care of, he will soon be fine."

Rena didn't say anything in response. She just held Waylen's waist and laid in silence.

The next day, Cecilia came to visit Rena.

But to her surprise, Mark was also present.

The atmosphere surrounding the two of them was quite subtle.

Mark looked self-absorbed while Cecilia looked as if nothing was going on between the two of them. In fact, she treated him quite politely. After saying a few words to Rena, she got up and left.

Even after Cecilia closed the door behind her, Mark couldn't get her out of his head.

He stared at the closed door, lost in thought.

Rena poured him a glass water without him asking for it.

With a faint smile, Mark looked at her and said, "It's been a while I'm sorry it took me so long, but I'm finally here to see the child."

After saying this, Mark presented a gift to Elva.

Rena thanked him in a trembling voice. When Mark saw her hesitant look, his eyes became red.

But he suppressed his emotions and said in a low voice as he stared at the baby, “I know what you're thinking, Rena. You want the best for me and Cecilia. But I'm very sick now and I can't make any promises."

Mark wanted very much to take care of Cecilia.

But the most he could do for her right now was being a good father to their children. Zoey wouldn't allow him to stepped further and hold Cecilia back.

He himself didn't want to do that to her either.
