Additionally, she yearned to observe the beautiful clouds outside.
As Leonel gazed at his innocent daughter, a sense of gloom lifted from his countenance. Upon Alexis’ return, he reverted to his customary appearance, exuding maturity and gentleness.
Presenting Evelyn’s lab results, Leonel assured, “She’s in good health.”
Alexis scrutinized the document attentively. Eventually, she tenderly hugged and ki*sed Evelyn, who reciprocated with a ki*s.
Later, Leonel had a scheduled meeting at the Exceed Group. Upon entering the car, he secured his seat belt and proposed, “Why don’t you and Evelyn come with me to the company? After the meeting, I’ll treat you to lunch.”
Excitedly, Evelyn applauded and exclaimed, “Daddy is taking Mommy on a date.”
Amused, Alexis inquired, “Where did you pick up these phrases?”
Gazing at Alexis with intensity, Leonel questioned, “So, what do you say? We’re heading to a French restaurant. They offer excellent options for children as well. Indeed, it’s the restaurant your mom owns.” Looking at Alexis in the eyes, he suggested, “Won’t you play the piano?”
Reflecting on the past, Alexis asserted in a straightforward manner, “I have no interest in playing it.”
As Leonel initiated the car, navigating the hospital’s exit, he wore a renewed smile. “How many years has it been? Why are you revisiting that? Frankly, her piano skills didn’t match up to yours.”
Alexis was taken aback.
She understood that when Leonel mentioned Serenity, it was a subtle attempt to gauge if she still harbored resentment.
However, at this juncture, Alexis didn’t attach much significance to it.
Perhaps Evelyn’s birth had consumed too much of Alexis’ time and energy over the years, leaving her with no energy to make a fuss about such matters. Alexis even believed that in situations where she caught Leonel cheating on her, she would stay calm and simply advise him to exercise caution and use protections.
A soft laughter escaped Alexis as her own thoughts amused her.

Turning his head, Leonel inquired about the reason for her amusement.
How could she really tell him? Realizing something, Leonel cast her a warning glance. “Mrs. Douglas, I won’t betray you. It’s in your best interest to abandon such thoughts.”
Alexis found it amusing.
Following a brief pause, Leonel posed a sudden question. “I didn’t spot you in the hospital earlier when I came back from breakfast with Evelyn. Where did you disappear to?”
Alexis mustered a smile and responded, “I experienced stomach discomfort and visited the restroom.”
Unperturbed, Leonel maintained his composure.
He advised in a gentle tone, “In that case, steer clear of spicy dishes for lunch later.”
Alexis concurred with a simple, “Okay.”
Within the hospital’s inpatient department, Serenity received a pleasant surprise when Darwin reappeared with $200, 000. Given their current circumstances, the money undeniably represented a substantial sum for them.
