A Second Chance With My Billionaire Love

Evelyn looked up at him, her voice cautious.

“Can Mommy goes home if she wakes up?”

Tears welled up in Leonel’s eyes.

At that moment, he could hardly keep his composure.

There was one candy left in Evelyn’s hand, and she hesitated to eat it.

Instead, she placed it in her mother’s hand and closed her fingers around it gently.

After a moment, she whispered, “One for Daddy and one for Mommy.

Daniel will stay with Mommy, and I’ll stay with Daddy.

”

Leonel closed his eyes briefly.

In his heart, Alexis held a special place, but so did Evelyn.

He hadn’t wanted to let Alexis go, but faced with Evelyn’s plea, he couldn’t refuse either.

In the quiet of the ward, every little noise stood out, even the slight movement of Leonel’s Adam’s apple as he swallowed nervously.

He sank down beside Evelyn, his hand finding hers.

Tears welled in her eyes as she looked at him.

Leonel pulled her into a gentle hug, taking a moment to compose himself before whispering, “You’ll stay with Mommy, too.

”

Evelyn rested against him, her sobs muffled against his shoulder.

Despite being infused with a liter of blood, Alexis remained unconscious until the next morning.

By then, Leonel had moved Evelyn to a nearby room for some much-needed sleep.

She was still in deep slumber when Alexis woke up.

Despite feeling drained from the blood

donation, Leonel stayed by Alexis’ side all night.

He feared she might wake up and find no one to take care of her.

“You’re finally up.

”

Leonel’s voice was rough as he reached out to touch Alexis’ forehead, but she instinctively turned away, avoiding his gaze.

His hand hovered awkwardly for a moment before he withdrew it.

His tone was soft as he suggested.

“Are you hungry? How about some chicken soup.

It should do you good.

”

Alexis stayed silent.

Leonel watched her in silence for a moment before rising to fetch the soup.

His hand trembled as he ladled it, a few drops spilling onto his skin unnoticed.

He wiped them away slowly, his voice barely audible.

“Once you’re better, I’ll arrange for you to go back to Duefron.

Evelyn and Daniel will both stay with you, and I’ll also arrange for the medical team to fly to Duefron for Evelyn’s follow-up treatments.

”

Lost in her thoughts, Alexis listened quietly.

A single tear slipped down her cheek.

Setting the bowl of soup on the bedside table, Leonel attempted to help her eat.

His touch lingered, pulling her into a tight embrace.

He whispered into her ear, “You chose death over staying by my side.

”
