Rena nodded.

She leaned on his shoulder in silence.

After a while, Waylen suddenly said, "If it ever comes to the point where things can't be reversed, I'll tell Cecilia everything."

Waylen had a deep understanding of his sister.

Cecilia might act tough, but she had a softer side.

While she had wanted to break up with Mark, if it became a matter of life and death, Waylen believed she would want to know and have closure.

Waylen didn't want Cecilia to have any regrets in her life.

However, that time was still in the distant future.

With a heavy heart, Rena went to visit Mark the next day.

Unfortunately, Mark was in the middle of a check-up, and Rena had other commitments, so she left first.

Peter saw Rena off.

Then he hurried to the examination center to pick up Mark.

Peter reached the ultrasound department.

He saw Mark, but he also spotted someone else--Cecilia.

Cecilia was visibly pregnant, her belly swollen.

She seemed to be five or six months along.

She had come for a prenatal checkup and coincidentally ran into Mark.

They locked eyes. Mark's gaze shifted to her belly, and he asked in a hoarse voice, “It's about five months, right?"

Cecilia's eyes welled up with tears.

She gazed at Mark, who was wearing a hospital gown.
