The little girl, being sensitive to pain, nestled her head in her father's arms, resisting emergence.

Tears welled up as she received an intramuscular injection.

The nurse, noticing the resemblance to her father, commented with a smile, “The little girl strongly resembles her father.”

Leonel offered a subtle smile, causing the nurse to blush. Aware of his status as Duefron's most sought-after young affluent individual, who recently married, the nurse was surprised to learn that his child was already almost three years old.

During the wait for lab results, Leonel treated Evelyn to breakfast, with Alexis opting not to join them.

Instead, Alexis stayed to talk to the doctor, got Evelyn's prescription and waited on a bench within the hospital.

After a considerable wait, a shadow appeared in front of her.

Assuming it was Leonel and Evelyn returning, Alexis looked up. To her surprise, the person standing before her was none other than Darwin.

Since her return, Alexis had maintained no contact with him.

Deep down, she harbored a dislike for Darwin.

Darwin appeared more disheveled than in Alexis' last encounter with him, with unkempt clothes and unwashed hair. Wiping his face, he asked Alexis, "May I take a seat?"

Alexis remained silent, prompting a bitter smile from Darwin.

He glanced at his worn and tattered clothes, acknowledging the current disparity between their worlds.

Initially reaching for a cigarette, Darwin reconsidered and extinguished it.

He then inquired, “Could you lend me some money?"

Alexis found herself genuinely surprised—-not by Darwin's predicament, but by the unexpected request he made.

Acknowledging her attention, Darwin spoke with self-deprecating humor.

“You're the wealthiest acquaintance I've ever encountered, Alexis.

Truthfully, Serenity is facing an incurable disease. Additional funds would ease her passing. I have no ulterior motives; I simply wish to ensure a dignified farewell for her."

Abruptly lowering his head, Darwin expressed remorse, saying, “I failed everyone I've ever cared about. If I can now do something nice to at least one person, it's a positive deed."
