Alexis woke up early in the morning.
However, Leonel beat Alexis to waking up.
Both he and Evelyn were already downstairs since Evelyn needed a fasting blood draw.
Consequently, he opted to skip breakfast with her.
Ollie intermittently observed them while consuming his dogâs food.
Upon realizing this, Alexis suggested gently, âLetâs head to the hospital and grab a meal together later.
â
However, Leonel declined, opting instead to prepare a glass of milk and a sandwich for Alexis to consume during the car ride.
Evelyn looked at Alexis with anticipation.
Leonel lifted Evelyn, planting a ki*s on her cheek.
âIsnât it sufficient that I stay hungry with you? Your mom is another story.
If sheâs hungry, we wonât be having a new baby.
â
Evelyn expressed a desire for a new sibling.
Scott constantly boasted that he would soon have a younger sister.
Observing Alexisâ belly, Evelyn whispered to Leonel, âDad, can you make it happen sooner? Iâd like to have a younger sibling before Scott.
â
Leonel found himself momentarily speechless.
Knowing about Lauraâs pregnancy, he realized Evelyn couldnât have a sibling before Scott did.
Besides, he couldnât get Alexis pregnant with just a snap of his fingers or something.
It wasnât that simple!
Noticing Leonelâs expression, Evelyn pouted and remarked, âWell, Scottâs father seems to be better than mine.
â
Leonelâs pride took a hit.
Placing Evelyn in the back seat, he glanced at Alexis and cleared his throat.
âLetâs put in some extra effort tonight, making sure we donât lag too far behind Edwin.
â
Alexis found Leonelâs comparison childish and questioned its relevance.
Despite this, Leonel, in high spirits, grinned.
Seated in the driverâs seat, he initiated the carâs engine.
Thirty minutes later, the car arrived at the hospital, where they already had a scheduled doctorâs appointment.
Evelyn received an injection and had blood drawn.
The little girl, being sensitive to pain, nestled her head in her fatherâs arms, resisting emergence.
Tears welled up as she received an intramuscular injection.
