He couldn't find a logical explanation, so he tried to evoke her empathy.

She couldn't fathom that these words were coming from Darwin.
She regarded Darwin with a bewildered stare, as if questioning his sanity.
Under the discomfort of Alexis’ gaze, Darwin mustered a smile and added, “Alexis, if you part ways with Leonel, the world is still your oyster. But Serenity is in a different situation. She only has Leonel.” Alexis responded with a faint smile. “I recall that you are Serenity’s ex-husband.” A subtle stiffness crept into Darwin's demeanor.
At that moment, Leonel returned from outside and spotted Alexis and Darwin in the hotel lobby, engaged in what appeared to be a tense exchange. A frown was etched across Leonel’s face.
“What's happening?” Leonel intervened, pulling Alexis close. Addressing Darwin, he continued, “If you have something to discuss, speak to me. Why involve Alexis?” The hotel lobby bustled with people, and the trio stood out among the crowd with their striking looks.

Witnessing Leonel and Alexis side by side, Darwin, in addition to empathizing with Serenity’s predicament, experienced a peculiar sensation.
The tableau before him seemed uniquely captivating. Darwin thought Leonel and Alexis were no longer an item, and he had divorced Serenity. In that moment, he believed he might still have a chance.
Masking his bitterness, he disclosed to Leonel, “Serenity is carrying your child.” Leonel responded with a smile.
He inquired, “Did she personally inform you of this?” Suddenly, a surge of anger overcame Darwin. Despite Serenity’s vulnerable state in the hospital and the near loss of her child, Leonel appeared unperturbed, sharing moments with Alexis.
Was Leonel devoid of compassion? Determined, Darwin decided to escort Leonel to the hospital, ensuring he attended to Serenity’s needs, even if it required physically guiding him there.
Darwin then found himself silenced as Leonel uttered calmly, “Serenity’s pregnancy stems from a traumatic incident-Kenneth's assault. The man who now faced legal consequences is the father of her child. Darwin, it should be evident why she wishes to keep this baby. What perplexes me is why our longstanding friendship is overshadowed by Serenity’s choices. Have you considered your feelings for her?” A sudden stillness overcame Darwin as if Leonel’s revelation had brought time to a standstill.
