House Of The Torres...
Wesley, usually a master of retorts, found himself speechless in the face of Marco's solemn demeanor.
Not one to surrender easily, he squinted and scoffed, “You're already an ex-husband. Isn't it a bit late to play
hero now?”
Humbled, the usually prideful Marco dipped his head, responding earnestly, “Still, it's better than sitting idle.”
At Marco's comment, Wesley was at a loss for words. Try as he might, he couldn’t pinpoint a valid criticism
against Marco.
Loraine was equally confused.

Marco's candidness in front of Rowan and Wesley was unexpected. She had assured Rowan she would not repeat
past mistakes, yet she could feel her connection with Marco strengthening.
Her instinct was to flee. Yet her need for Marco's assistance shackled her. Escape seemed impossible...
Just as Loraine was grappling with her thoughts, Rowan, growing impatient, intervened, “My father doesn’t need
an army of caretakers.
Let one person look after him. Stop this needless squabble. ALL of you go home. I'll stay with him tonight.”
As a respected military figure, Rowan’s command was not to be disobeyed. They exchanged glances before
obediently nodding their agreement.
Upon exiting the hospital, Marco immediately offered, “Loraine, letescort you home.”
Before Loraine could respond, Wesley eyed Marco with suspicion, warning him, “Marco, you've done plenty for
our family, and we are grateful

But if you have ulterior motives, I'm telling you now, it's not happening!”
Marco held his peace. The Torres family’s Love for Loraine was evident.
They repeated their warnings, attempting to shield their Loved one from any harm.

Of course, Marco had no intention of leveraging their gratitude to manipulate Loraine. However, he couldn't deny
his desire to beccloser with her and thus didn’t rebuff Wesley's accusations.
This infuriated Wesley even more. He spun around to face Loraine, a look of outrage plastered on his face. He
seemed to be silently warning her about Marco’s supposed scheming!
With a nervous cough, Loraine quietly nudged Wesley.
“Wesley, Marco's meeting with the Solar Company's science team is scheduled for tonight.
Shouldn't we understand what's going on?”
Caught off guard, Wesley was visibly distressed.
He was backed into a corner because they were depending on Marco!
