Darwin stood in bewilderment.

Leonel's words carried a veiled implication. What did he mean by those words?

Upon reflection, a cold sweat broke out on Darwin's back. He questioned if Leonel had seen through him. Darwin harbored feelings for Alexis but had kept them a secret. He had contemplated pursuing Alexis when she and Leonel ended their relationship some time ago.

Darwin had even sought his parents' help for a blind date with Alexis, but Waylen thwarted the plan.

To him, marrying his precious daughter to a divorced man like Darwin was out of the question.

Darwin appeared distressed.

Leonel adjusted his collar, choosing not to engage in a prolonged argument with Darwin. He entered the car.

Deliberately, Serenity spoke up. “Leonel, we used to be together, a thorn always in Alexis' heart. You understand her, don't you? How could she endure your betrayal?"

"You needn't concern yourself with my affairs."

Observing the couple, Leonel couldn't shake the feeling that their history had been tumultuous.

Starting the car, Leonel departed swiftly.

Serenity's lips quivered.

Turning to Darwin, she queried, “You also believe I deserved this, don't you? Yes, I took Kenneth back. He had nowhere else to go and I pitied him. Leonel never understood me. He believed I got what I deserved. Darwin, what's the purpose of my existence? I'd rather not live."

Following her words, Serenity wheeled herself towards the center of the street.

Embracing her from behind, Darwin pressed against her, murmuring, "Serenity, don't do this. It's not your fault. You simply love someone."

Tears streamed down Serenity's face as she questioned, “Do you genuinely believe that?"

Darwin nodded affirmatively.

Serenity collapsed into his arms, seeking solace as she wept softly.

Serenity refrained from divulging to Darwin that Kenneth, during the assault, hadn't used protection, leaving the possibility of pregnancy looming.

Since she refrained from taking any medication during her hospital stay, there was a possibility that she would get pregnant.
