Lyndon’s face turned aghast.

He gazed at his adopted daughter, his heart heavy with sorrow.

He had always regarded her as incredibly innocent, albeit occasionally willful. He could never have fathomed that she would partake in such immoral acts… Such licentious behavior!

Elvira gritted her teeth, retorting, “Nonsense!”

Cecilia rolled her eyes and retorted, “You know damn well it’s true! Perhaps you should visit a gynecologist, you might already be afflicted! And… spare me from your sickness, or I’ll call Mr. Evans!”

Cecilia felt a wave of relief after uttering these words.

She experienced a gratifying sense of satisfaction but when thoughts of Rena and Alexis crossed her mind, her eyes welled up with tears.

Inside the hospital room.

After everyone else had departed, Waylen attempted to initiate a conversation with Rena but she steadfastly refused to engage with him.

She merely presented him with her retreating back.

Waylen stared at her for a prolonged moment before silently withdrawing.

He proceeded to visit Eloise.

Eloise’s leg had suffered a severe injury, rendering her bedridden. Otherwise, she would have personally cared for Rena. Upon learning of poor Alexis’ condition, she wept incessantly, literally almost crying her eyes out.

Waylen gently pushed open the door, stepping into the room as he uttered in a hoarse voice,

“Mom!”

Eloise struggled to adjust her leg, her gaze suddenly rising to meet Waylen’s. Tears cascaded down her cheeks once again, seemingly without any cause. Her heart was too shattered to form any words.

Waylen extended a tissue to her and proceeded to pour a glass of water.

As Eloise wiped away her tears and composed herself, she began in a soft, subdued tone, “Waylen, I understand what you mean… You still long to be with Rena as a couple. But a fulfilling marriage is not easily attained and you’ve really done it wrong this time. I know you excel in your profession and have yet to lose á single lawsuit. I am also aware of your concerns for your career as you flew to Braseovell. But Rena was carrying your child, and you once had a history with Elvira. Regardless, you should never have left Rena alone like that to help Elvira!”

Waylen nodded in acknowledgment.

He slowly squatted down, resting his head. against Eloise’s legs. “It’s my fault, Mom! I don’t want to end things with Rena. I need an opportunity to make amends for her pain.”

Eloise couldn’t help but cry once more.

Amends…

How could Waylen possibly make amends to Rena while their daughter lay in the incubator?

Waylen had deeply wounded Rena, a wound that couldn’t be simply mended with another pregnancy or another child.
