Rena raised her head, her gaze inscrutable.

Waylen uttered no further words. Instead, he simply stared back at her.

Finally, Rena whispered softly, “Wishing you a safe journey."

"I was waiting for you to say that."

Waylen leaned in, planting a tender kiss on her Lips, and mused, “I'LL go first. You... Stay here for a while longer?"

Rena remained silent.

Waylen departed, leaving behind a much quieter ward.

Rena couldn't discern how much Eloise knew about the events that transpired in the bathroom that day. In the days that followed, Eloise unintentionally mentioned Waylen on multiple occasions, and her words revealed her satisfaction with him.

Rena could understand why. After all, Waylen hailed from a wealthy family and was exceptionally sophisticated.

It was challenging for any mother not to harbor appreciation for such a potential son-in-law.

Subsequently, Harold visited the ward twice.

Darren did not let Harold in though. Harold then refrained from reappearing.

Darren's condition remained stable. Rena resumed her work at the music studio and seized the opportunity to catch up on the available courses.

Waylen remained silent.

Ever since uttering those enigmatic words, he seemed to have vanished from her world. However, she could still catch glimpses of news about him.

He was immersed in a legal battle concerning the Carson Group in Heron.

The Carson Group, renowned as the wealthiest and most prominent enterprise in Heron, conducted substantial business operations.

However, due to past involvement in illicit transactions, the group found itself entangled in perpetual troubles.

Approximately two weeks later, Waylen made headlines.
