Chapter 2569Chapter 2570 However, it's advisable not to delay beyond eight years, as an extended interval may adversely affect sperm quality.” However, it's advisable not to delay beyond eight years, as an extended interval may adversely affect sperm quality.” Leonel acknowledged it stoically.
The doctor couldn't refrain from commenting, “There's an increasing number of dual-income, no-kids couples nowadays." Surprisingly, Leonel admitted in a soft tone, “I genuinely desire to have a child.” The doctor was taken aback.
It dawned on the doctor that perhaps Leonel’s wife had reservations about having children.
Concluding the appointment slip, the doctor informed, “Our schedule is full for this afternoon. You can come back tomorrow to undergo the procedure. After your surgery, you're free to leave. It's convenient, though having your wife accompany you would be optimal.” In a husky voice, Leonel declined, “Not necessary.” Leonel opted to keep this decision from Alexis, sparing her any psychological burden and ensuring she didn't perceive it as a sacrifice for her sake.
His desire for a child was eclipsed by his longing for Alexis.
Stowing away the appointment slip, Leonel exited the building.
Surprisingly, he crossed paths with Serenity and Darwin.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtDarwin, in a reconciled conversation with Serenity while pushing her wheelchair, indicated they had resolved their differences somehow.
Without a word, Leonel swiftly departed.
However, Darwin intercepted him, urging, “Leonel, let's have a word.” Observing Serenity and then shifting his gaze to Darwin, Leonel casually remarked, “There's a company meeting awaits.” A furrow creased Darwin's brow.
Gesturing toward Serenity, veins pulsating on his forehead, Darwin asserted, “Look at Serenity. Shouldn't you take responsibility?” Leonel sneered. “Seriously? In what way should | take responsibility? Marry her? You were responsible for her when you initially decided to marry her. How did that turn out? Did you two genuinely Love each other? She divorced you and now wants to pester me. She should've discovered my fat Darwin stood in bewilderment.
Darwin stood in bewilderment.
Leonel’s words carried a veiled implication. What did he mean by those words? Upon reflection, a cold sweat broke out on Darwin's back. He questioned if Leonel had seen through him. Darwin harbored feelings for Alexis but had kept them a secret. He had contemplated pursuing Alexis when she and Leonel ended their relationship some time ago.
Darwin had even sought his parents’ help for a blind date with Alexis, but Waylen thwarted the plan.
To him, marrying his precious daughter to a divorced man like Darwin was out of the question.
Darwin appeared distressed.
Leonel adjusted his collar, choosing not to engage in a prolonged argument with Darwin. He entered the car.
Deliberately, Serenity spoke up. “Leonel, we used to be together, a thorn always in Alexis’ heart. You understand her, don’t you? How could she endure your betrayal?” “You needn't concern yourself with my affairs.” Observing the couple, Leonel couldn't shake the feeling that their history had been tumultuous.
Starting the car, Leonel departed swiftly.
Serenity’s lips quivered.
ANGELA'sLIBRARY Turning to Darwin, she queried, “You also believe | deserved this, don’t you? Yes, | took Kenneth back. He had nowhere else to go and | pitied him. Leonel never understood me. He believed | got what | deserved. Darwin, what's the purpose of my existence? I'd rather not live.” Following her words, Serenity wheeled herself towards the center of the street.
Embracing her from behind, Darwin pressed against her, murmuring, “Serenity, don't do this. It’s not your fault. You simply love someone.” Tears streamed down Serenity’s face as she questioned, “Do you genuinely believe that?” Darwin nodded affirmatively.
Serenity collapsed into his arms, seeking solace as she wept softly.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmSerenity refrained from divulging to Darwin that Kenneth, during the assault, hadn't used protection, leaving the possibility of pregnancy looming.
Since she refrained from taking any medication during her hospital stay, there was a possibility that she would get pregnant.
It was speculated that she might be carrying the child of the Douglas family, making the baby biologically related to Leonel. In such a situation, how could Leonel distance himself from her? Darwin, innocent and benevolent, would undoubtedly champion justice for her.
A wry smile played on Serenity’s lips.
Gently stroking her belly, she harbored a fervent wish for pregnancy.
In the evening, Alexis steered her car to Leonel’s apartment.
her’s true nature. She has only herself to blame. Am I really to be held responsible?” In a composed tone, Leonel added, “If responsibility is insisted upon, financial compensation is the only recourse.” Darwin swung a punch.
Leonel made no attempt to evade, resulting in a bruised eye.
Touching the bruise, he sneered. “Well done, Darwin. Take care of her properly. Don't harbor any other thoughts.”
