Mark raised his gaze to meet Waylen's and sneered.

“How dare you approach me?"

Waylen was accustomed to such hostility.

He entered resolutely and knelt before Mark.

Mark sneered again.

“Your kneeling means nothing to me, Mr. Fowler. I cannot bear witness to it. What now? What have you done this time that you need to kneel and apologize?"

Waylen conveyed the doctor's words to Mark.

Concern for Rena's well-being had been weighing heavily on Mark's mind and his heart sank upon hearing Waylen's words.

Mark asked Waylen, "What do you intend to do? Are you truly willing to watch your child perish? Can you be that merciless? If you dare to do so, I will end your life."

Waylen calmly laid out his plan.

An icy silence engulfed the room.

Even Mark, who had been present throughout, was stunned by Waylen's bold words. He was shocked and incensed. Without delay, he hurled the nearest object he could grab at Waylen...

It was a company stamp.

The stamp struck Waylen's forehead with force.

Waylen couldn't dodge at all.

A slender rivulet of crimson blood trickled down his countenance...

Undeterred, Mark positioned himself before Waylen and uttered with a quivering voice, “Waylen, have you pondered upon the repercussions of your actions? Can Rena endure it? What if... What if... If the baby really perishes, there will be no way back for you, Waylen. You will be doomed."

Waylen slightly closed his eyes and replied, "I know. I am well aware.”

Waylen found himself without alternatives.

Rena's loathing towards him was intense. He couldn't offer her anything. He could no longer bear witnessing her agonizing in pain either. If she had even the slightest chance recovering in a different setting, he was willing to... He was willing to... set her free.

Mark maintained silence for an extended duration.

However, Waylen understood that Mark concurred.
