Cecilia remained quiet, her thoughts drifting to another child.

Laura.

Currently, Laura was being raised by Peter and his wife.

Since Peter had a son of their own, most of their wealth would likely go to him in the future.

Laura...

Cecilia paused before delicately bringing up the subject.

“Has... has she received medical attention?"

Mark, initially taken aback, soon understood Cecilia was inquiring about Laura.

After a brief silence, he softly explained, “I've arranged for a doctor. Once her leg's better, she'll head overseas for treatment.

It's a four-year process, but Peter's wife will accompany her to provide care."

This news saddened Cecilia.

Laura, as well as Peter and his wife, were innocents in this situation.

Mark, deeply attuned to Cecilia's feelings, could sense the weight on her heart.

He stopped the car at a red light, reaching over to gently hold her hand.

"Don't worry too much. Peter and Lina adore Laura and treat her as if she were their own."

Cecilia managed a weak smile.

Mark hesitated, wanting to add more but eventually held back.

Cathy, Laura... these mames echoed the sensitive history shared between him and Cecilia.

Back at home, they found the kids well-behaved.

Edwin, having completed his homework, was busy teaching himself programming on the computer.
