Chapter 1663


    In hushed tones, Mark queried, “You really don’t want to talk to me?”


    Cecilia paused, momentarily taken aback.


    Releasing Edwin’s hand, Cecilia approached the ward window and whispered, “Edwin will recover in


    three days, and then I’LL bring him back to Duefron.”


    Mark’s heart felt a subtle squeeze.


    He approached her slowly and gently grasped her slender shoulder from behind.


    “What are you implying?”


    Cecilia smiled faintly and remarked, “Mark, perhaps I’ve been overly optimistic. It’s be clear to me


    that Edwin and I are mere extras in the screeny of your life, taking a backseat to your career.”


    In a gravelly tone, Mark protested, “That’s not true.”

    undertaken truly worry me. I… I’m utterly insecure.”


    Perhaps Cecilia was better off not being in a rtionship filled with such insecurity.


    Mark enveloped her in his embrace.


    Cecilia attempted to wriggle free, but in vain.


    She buried her face on his shoulder, weeping uncontrobly.


    Mark was filled with regret. In a hoarse whisper, he assured her,


    “Believe me, Cecilia. My heart isn’t with Cathy. You’ve been the only one in my heart all these years.”

    Cecilia seemed lost in thought.


    Her eyes appeared slightly puffy as she gently shook her head.


    Finally, she softly nudged him aside and hung her head low, saying,
