Eloise responded lovingly, “I'll go get it for you. Just wait here.

Eloise left the room, Leaving Waylen and Rena alone.

Waylen approached Rena slowly, standing by her side. He was so close to her, yet he dared not touch her.

The proximity only intensified his inner turmoil.

With calmness and politeness, Rena spoke up.

"I heard that you helped me find doctors. Thank you, Mr. Fowler."

"It was my pleasure," he replied, his voice hoarse as he stared at her greedily.

Rena looked back at him, and then she said slowly, "However, there's no need for any of this between us. You don't have to take Vera's words to heart. It's all in the past. From the moment we broke up, my problems ceased to concern you."

Waylen was a skilled and articulate lawyer in the courtroom.

However, he found himself at a loss for words right now.

He had believed their breakup had been amicable, not realizing the extent of Rena's pain.

Leaving the ward, Waylen didn't Leave the hospital premises.

He sat in his golden Bentley Continental GT, smoking silently.

The attraction between Rena and him had blossomed during their adult years, not in their youth. He had always managed their relationship with ease. While he had cared for Rena, he had never thought he loved her deeply. When they had broken up, he had even given her a check directly.

Yet, when Rena had walked out of his life with that check, Waylen realized the unbearable truth. He couldn't bear the thought of Rena belonging to someone else someday.

He couldn't bear the idea of her falling in love with someone as she had fallen in Love with him.

Leaning back in his seat, Waylen raised his head slightly, his Adam's apple bobbing in his throat. He had always claimed that Rena couldn't afford to play, but now he was the one unable to bear it.

Waylen remained in the car throughout the night.

At dawn, he extinguished his cigarette and strode out of the car.

He ascended the stairs and arrived at Rena‘s ward.

Rena was awake, sitting on the bed and taking her temperature. She wore a loose hospital gown, and a thermometer was nestled in her mouth. She appeared pitiful, like a wounded creature.

When she saw Waylen approaching, a cold gleam flickered in her eyes.
