In response, she murmured, “I’m carrying your child; why would you be jealous?”


    Waylen’s smile deepened.


    He rested his chin on Rena’s head and said, “Every time I think about the questionable things I’ve done in the past, I worry about losing you. I fear you might leave me.”


    Rena responded with a faint smile.


    As she teetered on the edge of slumber, her tranquility was interrupted by a call she remembered from Flora earlier.


    “Miss Holt called this afternoon and mentioned that Harrison is scheduled for a second surgery. Waylen, I want to visit him.” Waylen didn’t oppose the idea. While it was true that Harrison loved Rena, he had also saved her life.


    Though Waylen wished to apany her, Rena declined. Nestling against his neck, she whispered softly, “You have a busy schedule. I can ask Wendy to apany me. Moreover, I have bodyguards for protection.”


    Rena was an adult and didn’t need to be confined at home due to an ident.


    So, Waylen consented. The next day, Rena arranged to visit Harrison with Flora.? 2024 N?v/el/Dram/a.Org.


    Observing Rena’s improved condition, Flora sighed in relief. She spoke with enthusiasm.


    “Though Harrison’s face was disfigured, Mr. Fowler has employed a foreign expert for him. It’s expected his face can be restored to about seventy or eighty percent.”


    Rena remained silent.


    Even if his face could recover to that extent, it would be challenging for him to return to his acting career.


    Flora patted Rena gently andmented, “His aspirations go beyond acting, actually.”


    A forced smile yed on Rena’s Lips. Wendy ushered then in and saw Aline already present.


    Adept at socializing, Aline appeared to have established a close rapport with Nora Moore, Harrison’s mother. The anxious mother wiped her tears intermittently, the bond between the two women seeming genuine.


    Observing this, Flora frowned. She whispered in Rena’s ear, “I don’t believe her intentions are sincere!” Rena was aware of it.


    She knew Aline had likely anticipated her visit and disgusted her on purpose. While Rena wasn’t concerned about Aline’s interactions with the Moore family, she regarded Aline as a potential threat.


    Rena lowered her eyes and hatched a n. Approaching Flora, she whispered her idea.


    Amused, Flora chuckled and remarked, “You’vee up with quite a clever n. No wonder Mr. Fowler remains captivated by you.”


    Rena replied with a faint smile.


    Aline, observing Rena’s apparent obliviousness, rxed her guard. She acknowledged her role.


    She had orchestrated the unfortunate events that befell Rena and Harrison. And she was unbothered by it; after all. Rena was unaware of the truth, and Nora had shared family secrets in her naivety.


    It seemed that Nora trusted her. A hint of difort lingered in the air as Nora met Rena’s gaze. After all, her son’s disfigurement was a direct consequence of saving Rena.
