Rena's eyes welled up with tears.

Waylen placed a comforting hand on her shoulder, fully understanding that no woman could remain strong in such circumstances.

The therapist looked at them both and offered a _ sincere suggestion, “If neither of you is currently seeing anyone, consider living together again. It will greatly benefit Alexis' mental health and may resolve her psychological issues completely."

Waylen nodded in agreement, stating, "We will take it into consideration."

The therapist then shared additional information with Rena and handed her Alexis' medical records.

Rena sat there, turning the pages, her emotions teetering on the edge.

During Alexis’ early years, they had frequented this clinic almost weekly.

At that time, Alexis had exhibited autistic tendencies every other day...

Rena closed the medical record, feeling overwhelmed by the weight of the information.

She finally understood why Waylen had kept the truth from her.

She might not have been capable of providing the necessary care for Alexis during her most difficult moments.

Rena's tears flowed freely, as they had for the past few days.

Waylen held her tightly, his voice a soothing murmur as he whispered, "She's much better now. The therapist even mentioned the possibility of her making a full recovery. You heard him, right?"

Resting her head against his shoulder, Rena whispered back,

“Waylen, I've made a decision.”

His heart skipped a beat, but he restrained his excitement, asking in a soft tone, “What decision have you made?"

Rena straightened herself, her teary eyes meeting his.

“Let's pretend to be a Loving couple for now."

Waylen was left speechless, unable to believe what he had just heard.

“Is that all? Rena, think about the kiss we shared last night.

Do you really think we need to pretend? We... Do you no longer desire me?"

Had it not been for Alexis' treatment, his words would have been far less restrained.
