Seeking solace, Rena went to see the fortune teller Mindy.
She desired to talk to her.
The place was located on a hillside, and despite her four-month pregnancy, she climbed it devoutly.
However, Mindy refused to meet her.

Rena watched the news of Waylenâs interview countless times, feeling a mix of emotions.
Alexis was beside her, seemingly absorbed in her thoughts.
The man on the screen was her dad.
She thought that he looked so good when he smiled.
âMom, is dad coming back?â Alexis asked softly, seeking reassurance as she buried herself in her motherâs arms.
âYes, sweetheart,â Rena replied, stroking Alexisâ head gently.
âBut dad is not feeling well right now.

When Waylen sometimes read her story books, the little girl noticed how his expression suddenly went blank in the middle of reading.
