Since her health was not in good shape, it was clear that she would be in greater need of the baby's company. In other words, Leonel would have no choice but to give Cordelia up and let Alexis have her.

He stared at the baby for a long time before finally walking away.

He went directly to the cloakroom and picked up a set of clean clothes. Then he went over to the guest room to take a shower. When he returned to the master bedroom, he saw Alexis there. From where he stood at the door, he said to her in a gentle tone, “I'll be in the guest room tonight. I might come over to check on Cordelia if she wakes up later in the night, so don't lock the door."

“Okay," Alexis replied flatly.

When he was on his trip, Leonel had pondered about it many times. He tried his best to convince himself that Alexis no longer loved him like she used to and he came to the conclusion that he shouldn't touch her or share a bed with her anymore. But no matter what he thought, he just couldn't control himself.
