It's merely an unfortunate incident. | haven't experienced bleeding in quite a while.” He remained silent, simply cradling her in his embrace.
Time passed before Leonel, in a hushed tone, questioned, “Do you also desire to have a child with me?” Alexis, feeling a mix of embarrassment and irritation, asserted, “I'm being sincere.” His demeanor grew earnest. “I'm sincere too, Alexis. Don't you want to marry me? We could start our days together, sharing breakfast in the morning before heading to work separately. I'l even prepare dinner for you in the evenings. Doesn't that prospect excite you?” “Sounds delightful.” She smiled, adding, “However, compatibility is key. Familiarity doesn't guarantee smooth sailing.” Leonel bestowed a gentle kiss on her lips.
“Don’t we have a good rapport?” “Are you referring to our compatibility in bed?” Playfully patting her on the rear, Leonel advised, “Ladies should exude more elegance. Let's not always dwell on such matters.” Alexis enveloped him in an embrace.
Her hands roamed freely. “So, what? Are you partial to more reserved women?” Actually, what Alexis wanted to inquire about was whether that was the reason he went out with Serenity.
However, Alexis refrained from dampening the mood at that moment.
Knowing Alexis intimately, how could Leonel be oblivious? He simply smiled and turned to attend to the cooking. Awkwardly, Alexis retreated to the living room. After a while, she couldn't help but ask, “Is it really okay if we don't go back to Mr. Gibson's place?” “I'll pay them a visit on another occasion.” The sound of Leonel’s voice echoed from the kitchen.

Thirty minutes later, he completed the cooking and joined her for dinner.
Alexis suspected he harbored concerns. Perhaps her minor blood loss was the source of his lingering worry. This was a rare moment when she genuinely sought to cheer him up a little bit.
After the shower, she adorned herself in nothing but a white shirt.
Seated on the ebony leather sofa beside the window, Alexis delicately dried her hair. Her slender form exuded an air of purity.
Engaged in business matters, Leonel later returned and found her in this state.
ntally cut her finger, which was now bleeding.
Alexis had accidentally cut her finger, which was now bleeding.
Leonel gently held her hand and said, “You silly, why didn’t you apply pressure?” Given Alexis’ known clotting disorder, she was normally extremely cautious.
Seeing his concerned face, she pressed her lips together and said, “It’s really nothing. It’s just a tiny cut!” But Leonel couldn't shake off his worry.
Eventually, when the bleeding persisted, he had to put her coat on her and politely excused them, deciding to take her to the hospital.
While they were on their way, Alexis felt guilty and said, “Mrs. Gibson is almost done with the meal.” Leonel didn't say a word.
He opened the car door for her, and Alexis let out a gentle sigh.
“Okay, let's go.” At the hospital, the doctor gave her some medicine. Once she took a tablet, the bleeding ceased.

Leonel ignited the car’s engine. “We'll do it another time.” Alexis was slightly disappointed-Connie’s cooking had seemed enticing.
Once they reached Leonel’s apartment, he quietly shifted things around and began preparing a meal for her, but he was noticeably silent.
Feeling somewhat touched by his care, Alexis approached the kitchen and embraced him from behind. “What's bothering you? It was only a minor cut!” Leonel stopped for a brief moment.
Then he expressed his concern in a gentle voice. “Imagine if this had happened during childbirth. What if you couldn't stop bleeding then, Alexis?” It seemed he had momentarily overlooked her medical condition and was just preoccupied with the thought of having children.
His deepest desire was to have a child.
But he almost overlooked that fact that childbirth could likely get Alexis killed! His body was shaking when he realized this...
Alexis sensed Leonel’s body quivering.
After some time, Leonel pivoted and embraced Alexis, burying his face in her neck. His skin radiated an unusual warmth, bordering on abnormal.
Never had Alexis witnessed him in such a vulnerable state.
