Evelyn burst into tears, her pain overwhelming her.

Only they understood the perilous situation they had faced. Had it not been for Alexis’ quick thinking in seeking refuge in the shaft, they might not have survived.

Leonel came over and wanted to hug Alexis, but she spoke softly.

"Don't. Stay back, Leonel."

Leonel's Adam's apple bobbed as he spoke. "Alexis, at least let me take care of you and Evelyn."

In the past, Alexis had always maintained a respectful demeanor towards him, especially in front of the children, upholding his fatherly image with great reverence.

However, at this moment, Alexis harbored an intense loathing for Leonel. Through gritted teeth, she questioned him coldly, “Leonel, do you even deserve to be called a father? I warned you about Anika's danger and urged you to handle her properly. Yet, what happened? Your reckless affair nearly cost Evelyn her life. Do you truly deserve to be called her father? When you were indulging with Anika in that apartment, did the thought of being a father ever cross your mind? Leonel, you're the real monster under her bed."

Leonel's face paled, rendered speechless by Alexis’ accusations.

Alexis clung tightly to Evelyn, yearning to whisk her away, but her own weakness caused her to collapse suddenly.

"Alexis! Alexis!"

“Mom! Mommy!"

In the ward, Alexis fell back into a coma, and the doctor said that she was exhausted.

Daniel maintained vigilance over his mom, his posture leaning over the edge of the bed, his expression stern. He hadn't exchanged words with Leonel since the accident.

Evelyn leaned into Rena's arms.

Leonel had donated 500 milliliters of blood for Alexis' transfusion.

Standing in the room, his face was pale with worry.

If only time could rewind, he would willingly sacrifice his life to bring Alexis back.

But in reality, there were no ifs.

Waylen summoned Leonel, breaking his silence 36 hours after the accident. In the cramped smoking room of the hospital, Waylen got straight to the point. “Where is that woman?"

Despite Anika setting the fire, she remained at large.
