Female NovelMark’s day was packed.
Sleep had been scarce for him over the past two nights, yet despite feeling exhausted, he made his way to the hospital without delay.
While on the way to the hospital, Cathy’s calls kept interrupting him.
He picked up and suggested she speak with the doctor instead.
After the call, Mark’s spirits were low. He knew he hadn’t handled the situation with Paul’s daughter well, likely causing Cecilia pain, and he felt awful for that.Contents belong to NovelDrama.Org
Cecilia was correct. Why should she try to comprehend him? Why should she linger and wait for him to sort things out?
The thought of Edwin’s condition weighed heavily on Mark, stirring up feelings of remorse.
He had the driver pull over so he could purchase a toy for Edwin.
Soon, Mark reached the hospital.
Edwin had awakened.
The doctor mentioned that Edwin was allowed to eat, and now he sat beside Zoey, savoring the porridge Zoey had prepared. The porridge was tasty and made his appetite soar.
Cecilia was engrossed in her work, sitting on the couch with a laptop.
Once collecting himself, Mark entered with a faint smile and said,
“Edwin. How are you feeling?”
Seeing Mark brought a smile to Edwin’s face.
Children had a remarkable capacity for forgiveness.
Mark placed the new toy on Edwin’s bedside table, which Edwin adored instantly. Stroking Edwin’s hair, Mark asked softly, “Is the pain still bothering you?”
“Just a bit.” Edwin’s voice was soft.
Guilt washed over Mark as he looked at his son.
Mark stayed by Edwin’s side for a time before turning his attention to Cecilia.
Cecilia seemed to pay him no mind, absorbed in her work, which left Mark perplexed. However, with the constant bustle, he understood it wasn’t the moment for personal conversations, so he refrained from bothering her.
It wasn’t until the clock struck ten at night that the ward quieted down.
By then, Edwin had drifted off to sleep.
Cecilia chose not to leave. She showered and remained beside the bed.
