“Of course,” Rena chimed in.
She placed the soup on the table and filled a bowl.
She brought it to Mark and asked, “Did Cecilia cry?”
Mark asked “Was it your idea to tell Cecilia about this? Or was it Waylen’s?”
Rena hugged Mark gently and replied, “It’s our idea.”

He took a few sips from the bowl of soup, but his appetite had vanished. He said, “I don’t want her to worry about me. I know her temperament the best.
Rena replied gently, “Then you should be strong for her.”
Mark remained in a daze, taking some time to grasp the meaning behind Waylen’s actions.
Waylen had been concerned that Mark might lose hope and gave up on himself, so he decided to confide in Cecilia about Mark’s condition.
Mark found himself on the verge of tears.
He ate the chicken soup methodically, even if he had little appetite, just to make an effort. Rena informed him that Zoey had prepared the soup herself.
Mark, lowering his gaze, admitted, “I failed my mom.”
Rena left the hospital with a heavy mood.
Waylen worked late into the night.
When Waylen returned, Rena knew that he had taken on most of the responsibilities for Mark’s company. She was worried about Waylen and personally cooked a bowl of noodles for him.
Waylen was hungry and devoured the noodles.

Waylen raised his eyebrow, puzzled.
Rena gently stroked Waylen’s gaunt face and murmured, “You’ve been taking care of the Fowler Group and the Exceed Group. Now you’re handling my uncle’s company. I’m concerned that you’ll work yourself too hard, Waylen. I worry about you.”
Waylen held her hand gently.
Rena continued, “Leonel and Alexis go to school during the day.
Marcus is quite well-behaved. I can spend half a day at the company and return to feed Elva.”
Waylen played with her hand while eating the noodles and said, “Mrs. Fowler, you’re quite considerate.”
