Alexis was seated by her bedside, still wearing the white shirt and black trousers that she wore to the law firm earlier in the day.

Her coat, on the other hand, was casually dr@ped over the arm of the nearby sofa.

Leonel felt she looked good in this attire.

The high-waist pants made her legs look long, and her waist slim and toned, showing no sign that she had given birth to three children.

By now, Alexis had also seen Leonel and was looking back at him.

This was the first time they were seeing each other after she declared that she was going to move back.

After staring at each other for a while, they both spoke up at the same time.

“You’re here.

“How’s Cordelia?”

Alexis stood up and touched Cordelia’s forehead.

“It’s not that hot,” she said in a low voice.

When she checked her temperature, she found that it was 100.

4 degrees.

Knowing the limits of Leonel’s legs, she knew it was not right to keep him standing for long, so she pointed at the sofa beside the bed and told him, “Take a seat.

Let me go get you a glass of water.

Leonel didn’t refuse.

Frankly, even before he got to the hospital, his leg had begun to act up.

After sitting down on the sofa, he gently stroked Cordelia’s face.

Cordelia was still fast asleep, but her warm face looked adorable, and it emitted a faint fragrance.

Leonel wanted to hold her close.

Among all the children, Cordelia was the one who looked the most like Alexis.

Looking at her was like catching a glimpse of Alexis in her childhood.

“Here.

Drink some water.

Leonel quickly looked up when he heard this.

Alexis was standing right in front of him, blocking the view of the light in the room.

She looked a lot more composed than before.

Leonel took the glass and was about to thank her when he heard her seemingly casual questions, “Where’s your girlfriend? Didn’t you bring her along?”

Leonel’s heart skipped a beat.

He was certain that Alexis was aware of Hester’s true identity, and her deliberate mention of Hester now only confirmed her intention to provoke him.

As he took the glass, he mulled over how to reply.

The following moment, his body trembled slightly.

Alexis placed her hand on the back of his, a soft touch he hadn’t felt in a long while, especially from the woman he deeply loved.

Any excuse or rebuttal became lodged in his throat, rendering him speechless.
