Peter comforted Mark until he fell asleep.

Exiting the ward, Peter found Cecilia engrossed in a call, likely with her film crew.

Eager to reassure her, Peter began, "When Mr. Evans is on the mend, you can continue your work. He'll be in high spirits when you return.”

Cecilia shook her head determinedly.

She had sacrificed a coveted film role to stay in Duefron, prioritizing Mark's well-being, along with Edwin and Olivia's needs.

Mark had a point. As parents, their foremost responsibility was to their children.

Cecilia made her intentions clear.

After a thoughtful pause, Peter's face Lit up with optimism.

“Indeed, it's the best choice. With you by Mr. Evans' side, he's sure to recover swiftly."

Upon hearing Peter's remark, Cecilia couldn't help but blush.

She responded in a soft tone, "You really have a way with words."

Peter breathed a sigh of relief, his usual playful demeanor returning.

He quipped, “Oh, you think I'm good? Well, compared to Mr. Evans, I'm just an amateur in the art of charming ladies."

Cecilia bit her lip and remarked, "Yes, he's quite skilled in that department."

Her words carried a tinge of jealousy.

It didn't go unnoticed by Peter. He awkwardly scratched his head, momentarily at a loss for words.

To his surprise, Cecilia added, “I'm just teasing. I'm going to go see him now."

Observing Cecilia's retreating figure, Peter couldn't dismiss the thought that her remark was far from casual; she was clearly feeling jealous.

However, he opted not to mention it, deciding to tread carefully.

Cecilia entered the VIP ward, where Mark was peacefully asleep.
