Seeing Oliviaâs distress, Leonel gently pinched her cheek to reassure her.
Olivia hugged him, tears streaming down her face.
Despite her previous strong dislike for Leonel a few years back, he had consistently evoked tears from her recently.
She couldnât understand how he could be both bad and good.
Feeling helpless, Leonel turned to Marcus, pleading, âHelp me comfort her.
â
Marcus remained seated nearby.
âSheâs your sister as well.
Whatâs more, her tears are now shed for you.
Why donât you try to comfort her?â He suggested it gently.
Feeling like a bother, Olivia sniffled and declared, âIâll comfort myself.
â
Marcus grinned.
Leonel mirrored the smile.
In that moment, Marcus placed a reassuring hand on Leonelâs shoulder and expressed gratitude, saying, âThanks once more for saving my sister.
â
Leonel met Marcusâ gaze with seriousness.
âSheâs not just your sister; sheâs mine too.
â
Rolling his eyes, Marcus questioned, âAnd what man makes a move on his own sister, Leonel?â
With a cheeky smile, Leonel inquired, âWhereâs Alexis? Is she alright?â
Rena gently dr@ped a coat over Leonelâs shoulders, her voice soft as she spoke.
âYouâve been in a coma for three days.
Alexis stayed by your side all night last night.
She went for a check-up and will be back soon.
â
Weakened, Leonel leaned against the headboard.

Just then, the door creaked open, revealing Alexis and Waylen.
Alexis appeared unharmed aside from a few bruises, while Waylen held a thermos container with nourishing chicken soup.
Noticing that Leonel had woken up, Alexis stood in the doorway, her lips moving silently.
Leonel met her gaze as she approached.
After a moment, he extended his hand and said, âCome here.
â
She slowly walked over, lowering herself to a half-squat in front of the bed and resting her face against his lap without saying a word.
Gently, Leonel encircled her with his arms, murmuring softly, âLetâs get marry after this, alright?â
He tenderly caressed her face, expressing his thoughts.
âWeâll go see a therapist together, as we discussed.
You have all those s@xy lingerie that you havenât showed me, and if possible, we might even have another child.
â
Silence filled the room.
Feeling a flush of embarrassment, Alexis lowered her head, whispering softly, âIâm willing to do all these things, Leonel, but I believe itâs better if you express these sentiments in private.
â
Without a word, Leonel simply held Alexis in a gentle embrace.
