It had been nearly a week since they last met. She aimed to maintain a simple relationship with Calvin. Once he fully recovered, he could resume shooting, find a girlfriend, and eventually embark on the path to marriage.

What Calvin desired from her, she had long ago bestowed upon Leonel.

Alexis carried a bouquet and a basket of fruits.

She entered the hospital.

She gently pushed the door of the VIP ward open, finding Calvin seated by the window, gazing outside.

The untouched food on the nearby table caught her attention.

Alexis sighed softly as she approached and took a seat.

“Why haven't you eaten? Is it not to your liking?"

Calvin turned to face her.

He observed Alexis in silence for a prolonged moment before asking softly, “Are you with Leonel now?"

Alexis, not wishing to deceive Calvin, chose honesty.

She pondered for a moment before admitting, "I won't deny that I still have feelings for him."

Calvin's eyes showed a hint of redness.

Alexis gently took his hand and said softly, "Calvin, you should find a girl who suits you. Get married, have children, and build a family of your own.”

She had once considered a future with Calvin.

Yet, Calvin needed an all-encompassing love that she couldn't provide.

Thoughts of such a nature surfaced briefly in her mind, only to be promptly dismissed by Alexis.

To her, Calvin was akin to a little brother she had nurtured.

“Have something to eat, okay?" Alexis’ demeanor toward him was always tender.

Calvin's voice sounded hoarse.
