Peter being attentive, immediately noticed her red eyes.


    He habitually asked, “What’s wrong? Did you two have another disagreement?”


    Cecilia, not wanting to be the subject of ridicule, said softly, “No.


    Peter, have youe to pick him up?”


    Peter skillfully replied, “I promised Mr. Evans. He misses you and Edwin greatly. Did he make Edwinte for school?”


    Cecilia forced a smile.


    Peter hastily assisted Mark, who was feeling quite weak, and supported him. He said softly, “You need to take better care of yourself. Mrs. Evans is going to be upset with you.”


    Mark started to walk out with Peter.


    He was still experiencing difort but still managing to pat Edwin’s head and said, “Be a good boy and listen to your mom, okay?”


    Edwin’s eyes welled up with tears.C0ntent ? 2024 (N/?)velDrama.Org.


    Cecilia silently watched them leave. Just as Mark was about to exit the door, she suddenly asked Peter, “What illness does he have?”


    Peter, who had seen much, remained calm and responded, “It’s just amon stomach ailment.”


    Cecilia trusted Peter.


    As they left, Mark clutched his abdomen, breaking into a cold sweat from the pain.


    Concerned, Peter asked, “Why go through the trouble? They’re not going anyway, and you can visit them anytime. What matters most now is taking good care of your health.”


    They entered the elevator.


    Mark immediately leaned against the wall.


    In that moment, he yearned for a cigarette to refresh himself, but all his cigarettes had been taken away.


    He smiled faintly.


    He knew that although Cecilia was around, he no longer had the privilege to be close to her.


    Upon Mark’s return to the hospital, Zoey reprimanded him.


    Cecilia didn’t feel any better. She spent a long time in the bathroom before emerging.


    Edwin watched her at the door and carefully hugged his mother.


    Although Cecilia didn’t say anything, Edwin could sense the presence of a baby in her belly.
