Occasionally, he would receive an urgent call in the dead of night, compelling him to depart for a day or two without return.

Rena remained oblivious to his whereabouts and she did not seem to care either...

In this manner, their relationship soured, yet they clung to each other for half a month. Later, Waylen reflected that this might have been the most heart-wrenching half month he had ever endured.

She stood right before him, but he could discern no glimmer of hope in her eyes.

Two days prior to Rena's discharge from the hospital, Waylen had a preexisting legal matter to attend to promptly at ten o'clock in the morning.

At eight o'clock, he specifically requested Cecilia to keep a watchful eye on Rena and notify him if any issues arose

Cecilia nodded gracefully, assuring him, “I will provide utmost care for my sister-in-law."

Waylen glanced at Rena once again.

She leaned against the headboard, engrossed in a book, emanating an improved appearance with a slightly fuller countenance.

Although he was aware of her indifference, he said tenderly, "I shall return to share Lunch with you at noon."

Rena offered no response.

Waylen wore a bitter smile and departed from the ward.

Jazlyn patiently awaited Waylen's emergence outside. Observing his appearance, Jazlyn expressed concern, asking, “How is Rena faring?"

Waylen took the documents Jazlyn handed over, whispering, “She's doing better. The doctor mentioned she could be discharged from the hospital."

Jazlyn offered a few words of solace.

Upon reaching the ground floor, an assemblage of media personnel swarmed around the black limousine, eagerly vying to interview Waylen brandishing their microphones

“Mr. Fowler, this is your first court appearance since your wife's accident."

“Will your wife's situation impact your performance?"

"Do you still possess the confidence to uphold an unbeatable record?"

Silently, Waylen entered the back seat of the vehicle.

Jazlyn intervened, restraining the media while extending a few polite platitudes, eventually joining Waylen in the back seat. Internally, she berated the unscrupulous media.

Apprehensively, she cast a concerned gaze upon her boss, fearing that he might not perform well today.
