Later, she had her servants send a mountain of tonics to Rena’s ward.

After some time, Rena was able to leave her bed.

As she inspected the tonics, she said to Waylen, “There are many items suitable for pregnant women among the foods sent by grandma, but I’ve already given birth to our girl. Also, we won’t be having a fourth child.”

Waylen, changing Elva’s diaper, patted her chubby bottom gently.

Elva began to cry.

Rena scolded him.

Waylen quickly changed the diaper. Afterward, he picked up Elva, kissed her, and called himself a ‘Bad daddy.’

Upon lifting his head, he noticed Rena’s gaze on him.

He noticed she was focused on him with loving and gentle eyes.

Waylen responded with a smile.

The atmosphere in the room suddenly grew ambiguous. Rena wondered how they could maintain such enthusiasm even after three children and many years of marriage.

She had just given birth and wasn’t in the mood for intimacy.

Rena then whispered, “Don’t provoke me!”

Waylen smiled and put the baby in the crib. He said casually, “Did you mention those tonics earlier? People say pregnancy makes a woman acting a bit silly. True, our Ms. Gordon is indeed a bit confused.”

He liked to tease her by calling her Ms. Gordon.

Rena rolled her eyes at his playfulness.

Waylen, playing with the baby, said slowly, “Zoey still has sharp eyes. She’s probably figured out that Cecilia is pregnant, but she doesn’t want to delay her future because of Mark’s illness. So, she’s using your condition as an excuse to send tonics to Cecilia. Let’s wait and see, the baby will be born with blessings.”

Rena finally understood after he finished speaking.

She admired Zoey’s thoughtful approach.

At the same time, she worried about her uncle’s health. Waylen playfully added, “Don’t worry! He’ll be alright. He won’t dare to leave too soon with a baby on the way right now.”

Rena pondered the situation.

Zoey would surely tell Mark about Cecilia’s pregnancy.

Besides, it was impossible for Cecilia to hide it forever.

After soothing the baby, Waylen bent down to kiss Rena and whispered, “Stop thinking about it. It’s only been two days since you gave birth. You should care of yourself first.”

Rena smiled.

He hadn’t been close to her for days, and with no one else in the room, he couldn’t resist kissing her passionately.

After a while, he stopped and, in a hoarse voice, said, “Rena, thank you.”

He had been born into wealth and had been proud his whole life.

But without Rena and their children, his life would be dull.

He thanked her for bringing love into his life.

Rena was touched and gently stroked his handsome face. She couldn’t help saying his name passionately. Cecilia happened to enter the room at that moment and witnessed the scene.

She blushed and exclaimed, “Hey! This is the hospital!”

Then she placed something down.

Cecilia couldn’t resist adding, “Waylen, you’re quite cheeky!”

Waylen came over and pinched Cecilia’s cheek, teasing her, “We’re a legally married couple. We can do all the things legally married couples do.”

Cecilia scolded, “Rena has recently delivered!”

Waylen tugged her ear playfully and asked with a teasing tone, “What did I do? Am I really that obnoxious to you?”

Cecilia’s ears flushed.

Rena couldn’t resist coming to her defense.

“Don’t tease her all the time!”

Waylen shot her a meaningful glance and then casually said, “By the way, there are some tonics sent by Zoey here. Some of them may not be ideal for postpartum women, but they’re suitable for pregnant women. I can assist you in moving them to the car so you can have them.”

Cecilia gazed at the stack of tonics and ran her fingers over them thoughtfully.

“How can I finish all of them?”

Waylen let out a mischievous laugh and said, “Just go ahead and take them! They’re a gesture of love from Zoey after all!”

Cecilia believed Waylen’s words without a doubt.

As he busied himself getting the tonics into the car, she began conversing with Rena.

Their closeness to each other remained strong, unaffected by Mark.

Rena found comfort in this and grew fonder of Cecilia.

Waylen soon returned, handing the car key back to Cecilia.

He advised, “In the future, let the driver take you when you go out.”

Cecilia replied with a smile, “I’m just a few weeks pregnant. I can manage.”

“This period is the most critical and unstable for the baby,” Waylen cautioned.

Cecilia agreed, respecting his advice. Waylen actually wanted to drive her himself, but he couldn’t leave Rena alone.

Cecilia stayed for a while before leaving.

Initially planning to leave directly, she remembered that one of Juliette’s medications had run out, and the doctor was at the in- patient department that day.

After some contemplation, she made a phone call.

A heavy silence fell upon the VIP area of the surgical department.

Cecilia’s pregnancy wasn’t very advanced, so she reached the elevator quickly and was surprised by what she saw when the doors opened.

There were two people standing there.

It was Mark and Peter’s wife.

Mark, dressed in a hospital gown, appeared much thinner with a pale face, as if he had been seriously ill.
