Chapter: 1014
Waylen opened the car door and got in, glancing at Alexis in Rena’s arms. Alexis remained motionless, unresponsive. It was the first time Waylen had seen Alexis being autistic since he lost his memory.
He clenched his teeth in frustration and started the car.
The vehicle slowly glided away, leaving Mavis standing there, touching her face in bewilderment.
She had just experienced Waylen’s violent push.
Apart from that, she saw the disgust in his eyes.
How could he suddenly treat her this way?
Didn’t he like her face and adore her before? ©
Back at home, Rena attended to Alexis with utmost care.
She offered her daughter some medicine to calm her down and tried to lull her to sleep, but Alexis refused, her restless energy evident.
Alexis stood beneath a tree in the courtyard, pulling at its leaves.
Her curly brown hair had cascaded down her shoulders.
Rena’s heart ached at the sight of her daughter’s distress.
She hurriedly put a thick coat on Alexis and squatted beside her. The night seemed to stretch endlessly as Alexis continued to pluck at the leaves until there was nothing left on the tree.
Rena held Alexis’ soft little body close, and Waylen, who had followed them, noticed Rena shivering from the cold.
He said softly, “Put on a coat, Rena. It’s cold outside.”
Rena was filled with frustration and anger.
She tossed the down jacket away and pushed Waylen aside, wanting nothing to do with him.
Unprepared for Rena’s reaction, Waylen bumped into a stone pillar, and a small cut appeared on his forehead. ©
The darkness around them heightened the impact of the moment.
Waylen wiped the blood away with his hand, seemingly unfazed by the injury.
Holding back her emotions, Rena hissed sternly, “Alexis has been hurt twice because of Elvira. Mavis got close to Alexis just to please you, but her face scared Alexis, leading to her current autistic state. Do you even realize that Alexis hasn’t experienced an autism attack in a long time?” Waylen, this is the consequence of your actions. This is the price of your infidelity.”
Rena couldn’t fathom why she always had to bear the brunt of his past mistakes.
