Alexis stared blankly at her reflection for what felt like an eternity.
At dawn, Leonel stirred from his sleep to discover a petite figure on his bed.
Cordelia, her tiny legs tucked and her cherubic cheeks cradled in her hands, gazed at him intently.
Upon noticing him awake, she snuggled up to him like a puppy, peppering his face with ki*ses and drool.
Leonel’s heart brimmed with affection.
He scooped Cordelia into his arms, checking her temperature and discovering that her fever had subsided.
Cordelia giggled, snuggling deeper into his embrace, her sweet voice calling out “Daddy” repeatedly.
He chuckled, sensing that if he stayed a moment longer, his resolve might crumble immediately, making it
difficult to leave at all.

Alexis was sipping milk when she heard Leonel’s words, her keen intuition picking up on his unspoken
sentiments.
Quietly finishing her milk, Alexis said in a subdued tone, “I have smatters to attend to at the office this
morning.
| hope you can take care of her for the tbeing.
I'll return this afternoon to arrange for her discharge.
Leonel nodded in agreement.
Perhaps due to the events of the previous night, they didn’t seem to get along very well that morning.
After breakfast, Alexis cradled Cordelia in her arms once more.
Cordelia, aware that her mother was leaving, didn’t want to let go.
Alexis ki*sed Cordelia tenderly, offering comfort.
“Your dad will be here with you.
Passing Cordelia to Leonel, she reassured, “I'll return around four.
There will be assistance available, and meals will be delivered to you.

Leonel nodded with an indifferent attitude.
Alexis regarded him silently for a moment before breaking into a smile once more.
Descending the stairs, she climbed into her car and drove away from the hospital.
Contrary to her usual routine, she didn’t head to the law firm.
In fact, there were no urgent matters awaiting her attention.

She simply wanted to grant Leonel and Cordelia salone time.
Sensing Leonel’s reluctance to hold Cordelia in her presence, she chose to give them space.
The car pulled over to the side of the road.
Leaning back, Alexis rested her head against the seat.
Chasing after Leonel had becan ingrained instinct for Alexis, cultivated since childhood; setbacks were mere
bumps on her path, her optimistic spirit undeterred.
But they both failed to realize that Alexis was no longer the sperson she once was.
She had been through too much.
She didn’t know how much more of Leonel’s rejection her newfound courage could endure.
She wandered outside for a long while.
When she returned to the hospital at half past three in the afternoon, Leonel was no Longer there.
