Yet Alexis did not cry.

She clung to her father, cherishing his warm presence…

Three days had later, Mark came to visit.

As the car came toa stop, the driver courteously opened the door for him.

Mark’s countenance betrayed his inner turmoil.

Initially, he held little regard for Waylen, but over the years, he had witnessed Waylen’s genuine love for Rena.

Now, Waylen faced a physical ailment, yet he still made every effort to care for his wife and daughter when sober.

Compassion overwhelmed Mark as he couldn’t help but worry about them deeply.

Upon entering the hall, Mark spotted Waylen sitting on the sofa, engrossed in an old newspaper.

Approaching him, Mark inquired with gentle curiosity, “Is Rena not here?”Contents belong to NovelDrama.Org

Waylen glanced up, displaying a hint of surprise before rising to his feet and answering, “She went to attend to some matters at the company.”

Mark knew that Waylen had entrusted the Exceed Group to Rena.

A sense of uncertainty shrouded Mark’s thoughts, rendering him speechless momentarily.

Eventually, he said in a hushed tone, “Well, that’s for the best. I happen to have something important to discuss with you alone.”

Mark’s sudden arrival made Waylen suspect the gravity of the conversation ahead. He smiled warmly and suggested, “Let’s talk in the study on the second floor.”

They ascended to the study on the second floor.

Seated across each other, Mark occasionally glanced up while smoking. “How are you feeling?”

Waylen busied himself preparing tea.

Pausing for a moment, he responded softly, “My health isn’t great.”

Handing a teacup to Mark, he settled into his seat.

The weight of Mark’s concerns led him to extinguish the cigarette and said hesitantly, “I received some news. It seems that Elvira’s acquisition of the reagent may be linked to her ex-husband. Surveillance footage indicates that her ex-husband, the producer, had contact with her at the hospital… The police interrogated him, but his cunning evasions and the lack of substantial evidence led to his release, thanks to his influential status.”

Waylen sipped his tea deliberately.
