"It's only temporary," she replied coldly.

His face neared hers, his body trembling slightly as he gently touched her. He cherished every inch of her.

“In case you forget, I just gave birth."

Leonel's demeanor sank.

He held her close, no more touching, just embracing. Eventually, he murmured, “Let's head to the hospital. I think your dad got a blood transfusion."

Turning her face, he planted a gentle kiss.

"I'll treat you right, Alexis."

They left together, Noreen watching closely, feeling the tension.

Leonel sure knew how to push Alexis' buttons.

He was stuck with the Fowler family for life.

Returning her phone, Noreen said, “Here you go, Miss Fowler."

Alexis stayed quiet, hurrying to the elevator. Because she'd just had a baby, she was still weak.

Leonel held her waist, whispering, "Your dad's awake and okay."

“Thank you, Mr. Douglas," Alexis said politely.

Leonel smiled wryly.

In the car, Alexis’ phone rang. It was Marcus.

She asked softly about Waylen, casually mentioning she was on her way.

In her mind, nothing mattered but her father at that moment.

Alexis and Leonel soon pulled up at the hospital.

Waylen had already received the transfusion and was up. When he opened his eyes, he went straight to Rena, asking, "“Where're Alexis, Marcus, Elva and Leonel?"
