It turned out that it was all because he was sick.
Running back to her room, Alexis fetched a plastic stethoscope from her toy basket.
“Ill treat him,” she said softly, her determination evident.
Moved by her daughter’s innocent gesture, Rena hugged Alexis tightly.
Tears welled up in her eyes, for Alexis was the most precious gift Waylen had ever given her.
As autumn settled in, the once-lush phoenix trees began to shed their leaves, while the maple trees adorned the landscape with fiery red hues, painting the skies like burning clouds.
The airport was abuzz with people.
There were also countless reporters waiting at the entrance.
All of them were eagerly waiting for Waylen’s return.
Waylen was pretty well-known in the legal circle who suddenly quit years ago. It was only natural for the reporters to be eager to get a shot of his return.
Rena stood among the crowd.
‘She was accompanied by Ross Carson, a seasoned driver of the Fowler family.
As time passed, her hands grew sweaty with anticipation and nerves.
Waylen… She wondered how it would feel when she saw Waylen again, and if he would remember her.
Suddenly, the reporters rushed in one certain direction, their cameras flashing continuously.
Waylen had appeared, flanked by bodyguards.
Calm and collected, he answered a few questions before leaving the airport.
The bodyguards kept the reporters at bay, but Rena’s heart raced as Waylen walked past her without any sign of recognition.
Rena’s heart finally sank, her hands and feet turning cold, and her strength seemed to abandon her.
The realization hit her hard – Waylen truly didn’t remember her.
But just as she was about to accept the cruel reality, Waylen suddenly stopped in his tracks and looked directly at Rena.
His eyes were cold and unfamiliar, leaving her heart in turmoil.
