Heavy rain was rare in Duefron during the late autumn.

Alexis had only walked a few steps when she became completely drenched, yet she seemed unfazed. Her arm bled more profusely, the rain thinning the blood to a pale red.

As the rain intensified, driving conditions worsened.

The servant, anxious, tried to discourage her from leaving. Alexis climbed into the car, buckled her seatbelt, and said calmly, “Take care of him."

The servant, startled, felt a surge of sadness.

Unable to persuade Alexis to stay, she hurried back inside to find Leonel. Inside the bedroom, broken glass littered the floor, and Leonel was propped against the bed with a vacant look. However, the servant noticed tears glinting in his eyes.

Brushing this aside, she blurted out, “The rain is pouring, but Miss Fowler is set on leaving! I noticed her arm was bleeding. Doesn't she have a clotting disorder? What if something happens? Mr. Douglas..."

Leonel, shocked, asked in disbelief, "Alexis is bleeding?"

The servant nodded and replied, “Yes, Miss Fowler has several cuts on her arm. Weren't you aware, Mr. Douglas?"

Leonel was caught off guard.

The room had been too dark earlier, and they had just finished a heated argument. He genuinely hadn't noticed her injuries.

If he had seen them, he would never have let Alexis leave.

In his panic, he hurried downstairs.

His movements were clumsy. As he stepped onto the pebble path in the courtyard, the slick stones nearly made him slip. A servant held an umbrella with one hand and supported him with the other. In that moment, Leonel set aside his pride and dignity.

Struggling, he made it to the gates of the villa.

Alexis was being held up by the guards.

She sat silently in the car. The rain pounded heavily, and although the windshield wipers moved back and forth, they couldn't keep the rain at bay.

Her vision blurred.

It was hard to distinguish whether it was because the rain or tears in her eyes.

Limping forward, Leonel tapped on the car window, his voice barely audible over the storm. “Get out!"
