His recovery journey persisted.
Amidst the storm, Mark ventured out to tend to his son. Despite Mark’s remarkable efforts, his son would resent him during his usual bouts of sickness.
Mark spent a week in the hospital.
Cecilia stood by his side for that entire week, but the Fowler family collected the two kids just forty-eight hours later.
Waylen cradled Olivia and Edwin tenderly when he took them away.
“Edwin must attend school. For now, Rena will assume responsibility for him.”
Mark let out a weary sigh.
He conferred with Waylen, “Edwin must attend school, but Olivia doesn’t need to.”
Waylen replied with a grin, “Rena has enrolled Elva in an elite preschool. I can take Olivia along and have her audit the class. If Olivia likes it, perhaps she can join too.”
Mark was left speechless.

He wondered if Waylen had said it on purpose.
Hadn’t Waylen promised to cherish Elva? Why had he enrolled her in preschool at the tender age of two?
Mark harbored doubts, but Waylen remained indifferent.
With both kids in tow, Waylen descended the stairs.
Rena occupied the car.
Leonel and Alexis were with her there.
Upon catching sight of Olivia, Alexis‘ eyes sparkled. She gently cradled Olivia and posed a curious question, “Why would great uncle allow Olivia to leave? He adores Olivia the most; he loves her more than you love me.”
Waylen playfully flicked Alexis on her forehead.
Seated in the driver’s spot, he secured his seatbelt and grinned.
“There’s nothing I can’t arrange.”
In truth, Mark hesitated to part ways with Olivia.
However, Cecilia was more willing. A stern glance from her, and Mark acquiesced.
As Rena cradled Olivia, her eyes met Waylen’s in the rearview mirror.
She understood his unspoken thoughts.
