With a heavy heart, Rena went to visit Mark the next day.

He saw Mark, but he also spotted someone else–Cecilia.
Cecilia was visibly pregnant, her belly swollen.
She seemed to be five or six months along.
She had come for a prenatal checkup and coincidentally ran into Mark.
They locked eyes. Mark’s gaze shifted to her belly, and he asked in a hoarse voice, “It’s about five months, right?”
Cecilia’s eyes welled up with tears.
She gazed at Mark, who was wearing a hospital gown.
He still looked frail and pale. Why hadn’t he recovered yet?
Following her gaze, Mark looked at his own attire and said with self-mockery, “I had a bit too much to drink at the party and ended up in the hospital for a week. You…”
Peter stepped forward with a smile and suggested, “There are many people here. How about we find a quieter place to talk?”

If he could come to terms with it, there was nothing for her to miss.
Cecilia forced a smile.

The hospital was exceptionally upscale, complete with a coffee shop on the lower floor.
