Ryan was undeniably handsome, and it was rumored that he had attended a prestigious university. After his recovery from illness, he had diligently worked his way through college. After paying for his medical bills, the remaining money he received from Melissa had been used by him as a down payment for an apartment.

Alexis sighed, contemplating the complexities of human nature.

Alexis had heard about Melissa's departure from Duefron and her breakup with the man standing in front of her. She couldn't help but empathize with Melissa, knowing that she must be going through a difficult time.

However, the young man standing before Alexis appeared remarkably youthful and full of energy. There was no outward sign that he had ever battled a serious illness.

There was even less indication that he had ever been the object of affection of a young lady.
