Suddenly, she lifted her head and called out his name sharply.

Leonel tenderly kissed her lips.

She trembled uncontrollably, repeatedly calling out his name as every fiber of her being quivered. She wrapped her arms around him, the man who gave her pleasure.

Leonel continued to kiss her, his heart breaking with each tender touch.

He was aware that he had stolen this moment of intimacy.

When Alexis woke up, perhaps she would completely forget it, or maybe she would look at him with those calm and distant eyes again. He continued to kiss her until she grew calm.

She was sweating, and he gently wiped her clean.

Likely exhausted, she drifted into a deep sleep.

She remained passive to his touch, lying there obediently without any reaction.

Leonel's gaze was profound.

Soon, the servant arrived with the doctor. Sensing that there might be something happening inside, the servant knocked on the door before announcing, “Mr. Douglas, Dr. Hall has arrived."

Seated on the edge of the bed, Leonel gazed at Alexis’ sleeping form and calmly invited, “Please come in."

The servant ushered Egbert Hall into the room.

Egbert approached cautiously, aware of Alexis’ status. He meticulously checked her temperature and examined the thermometer.

"Slightly over 100 degrees. It's going down."

Nonetheless, he gave Alexis an injection to lower her fever and prescribed some medication for her. Finally, he examined her closely and remarked, “Illness is inevitable for human beings, but Mrs. Douglas appears to be particularly frail. She should regularly consume tonics to bolster her health first, or she'll just continue to fall ill easily."

When Egbert referred to Alexis as Mrs. Douglas, Leonel didn't refute a Despite their known divorce, Alexis was currently lying on his bed, indicating a deeper connection between them.

Egbert left soon after.

Leonel instructed the servant to escort Egbert out before he gingerly lay down beside Alexis on the bed. She slept peacefully, rarely displaying such obedience.

He couldn't resist pressing his face softly against hers and whispering, “Mrs. Douglas."
