Leonel blurted out, anxiously.

“Alexis, I won’t find another woman.

I won’t hurt you.

That woman at the hospital was just an employee from the PR department.

I fired her.

No one else will get close… I swear.

He spoke earnestly.

Alexis listened in silence.

She listened quietly, unmoved by his words.

Leonel caught on soon enough.

He hesitated, and then asked softly, “You’re over it, aren’t you? There’s no chance for us then?”

Disappointment shadowed his expression.

Alexis sidestepped the topic, nonchalantly.

“We’re talking about the kids, right? If you want more time with them, weekends are yours.

They can crash at yours overnight.

Seeing Alexis so accommodating tugged at Leonel’s heart.

Deep down, Alexis adored Evelyn and Daniel so much so that she was willing to swallow her resentment for their sake.

He thanked her, his voice heavy.

Feeling the conversation winding down, Alexis spoke gently.

“I’m heading back to the ward.

If you’ve got stuff to do, go ahead.

I’ve got Daniel.

Alone time with Alexis was rare and Leonel wasn’t ready to let her slip away so fast.

Once more, he gripped her wrist, meeting her gaze.

Alexis tried to pull away.

“Let me go, Leonel! Remember what you said earlier?”

His anxiety surged at her words.

He loosened his hold a bit, but then tightened it, fearing she might vanish.

Staring at her, he finally spoke hoarsely.

“Why did you keep the baby? Do you still feel something for me, Alexis?”

His words betrayed his emotional turmoil.

The dining hall, usually bustling, quieted down as Alexis and Leonel drew attention.

Their rollercoaster romance had kept tongues wagging for months, especially with rumors of Alexis’ pregnancy swirling.

Embarrassed, Alexis scanned the room nervously, unable to shake the prying eyes.

Turning to Leonel, she mustered a faint smile.

“My physical condition forbids me to terminate the pregnancy.

You knew that, right?”

Leonel’s expression soured at her words.

Alexis continued softly, “I’m done with us.

But I’ll raise this child alone.

For the kids’ sake, we have to keep the peace.

But if you can’t handle it…”
