While Alexis continued to sleep, Cordelia stirred awake in the crib beside her, her big eyes wide with curiosity. Leonel set down the tray and approached Cordelia, eager to interact with her.

To his surprise, Cordelia reached out and grabbed his finger, eliciting a smile from Leonel.

She kicked her legs happily, seeming to recognize him as her father.

Bending down, Leonel planted a gentle kiss on Cordelia's forehead.

"You stay here and rest. I'll wake your mom up for dinner."
