Mark hadn’t seen her in a long time. He was always busy with his work, so when he saw Cecilia, he realized that he had missed her very much. Looking at her tearful eyes, he asked in a gentle voice, “What’s wrong, Cecilia? Is there something wrong with Rena or the baby?”
Then, he handed Peter the gift he got for Rena and told him, “Go on ahead. I’ll be there to see Rena and the baby in a minute.”
Peter knew that it wasn’t easy for Mark and Cecilia to meet, so he took the gift, nodded, and entered Rena’s ward.
Mark took Cecilia’s hand, led her to an empty passage, and shut the door behind them. He pulled her hand away from her eyes and said, “You’re a grown-up. Why do you always cry?”

Cecilia turned away, her eyes red.
Mark beamed and shook his head. Then, he took out a cigarette and lit it. He took a long drag, blew out a cloud of smoke, and asked, “You’re crying because of Rena, aren’t you?”
Hearing Mark speak her mind, Cecilia felt a little annoyed.
But sadness was eating at her more at the moment.
After all, someone in the world understood her, but no one understood Rena.
It was the first time in months that Cecilia had spoken nicely to Mark. She even cried in front of him, which was a little weird because she now hated him so much. “Everyone thinks that Rena is happy, but | know that she isn’t. Waylen is back, but he doesn’t remember Rena.
But she still loves him.”
If it wasn’t love, if it wasn’t nostalgia…
No woman could stand her husband’s cold shoulder.

He understood Cecilia’s worries, but what could they do?
Rena and Waylen had so much history. They used to love each other so much that no one who knew them could bear to tell Rena to give up, including Mark.
He worried about Rena. From the very beginning, nothing happened to Elvira was Rena’s fault.
Waylen just did what a husband should do to protect his wife and daughter.
But now Rena had to pay everything back with her whole life. It wasn’t fair at all.
Mark raised his head. He had tears in his eyes.
He thought of his sister, Reina, himself, and Rena. It seemed that the children of the Evans family were destined to have difficulties in love.
