Chapter 3610
Leonel’s chest tightened with pain.
“I can’t bear the thought of losing you like that.
”
Alexis continued to cry silently.
She knew he had compromised, and it left her heart heavy with sorrow.
He struggled to speak through his sobs.
“Will you keep our baby? Please, I promise not to interfere your life.
Just, please keep our child…”

But Alexis remained silent.
Leonel decided to forgo further inquiries, opting instead to spoon—feed Alexis half a bowl of soup before placing her phone gently on the bedside table, a constant reminder of his vigil.
Alexis, weakened by her ordeal, delicately picked up the phone, her fingers trembling as she powered it on.
Almost immediately, the phone rang, Waylen’s voice breaking the silence.
“Alexis! Where are you?”
After a moment’s pause, Alexis replied in a hoarse whisper.
“I’m in Merblune.
”
Three days later, a private jet winged its way back to Duefron from Merblune, bearing the emblem of the Fowler family.
Meanwhile, Leonel boarded another private plane, trailing behind.
They returned to Duefron.
Waylen was taken aback by Al
xis’ fragility and the self-inflicted wound, but it was the news of her pregnancy that truly rocked him.
The doctor’s words hung heavy in the air.
“Miss Fowler’s current condition isn’t suitable for termination.
The best course of action is to carry the baby to term.
”
Waylen’s shock deepened.
With a stern expression, he instructed Marcus.
“Summon Leonel.
I have questions for him.
”
As Marcus prepared to leave, Leonel arrived.
A servant lingered outside the study, announcing carefully, “Mr.
Douglas is downstairs.
”
Narcus’ agitation was palpable.
“Finally, that bastard arrives.
Save me the trip! Dad, I’ll fetch him.
”
As Marcus finished speaking, he noticed Leonel lingering outside the study.
Unlike Marcus, Waylen was less impulsive and kept his cool.
He glanced at Leonel briefly before turning to his son.
“Marcus, go check on your sister and Evelyn.
Close the door behind you.
”
Marcus nodded, but as he neared the door, he couldn’t resist throwing a punch at Leonel’s gut.
“f@ck you! What does my sister owe you to deserve all this?”
Leonel stood firm, bracing for the blow.
He had anticipated this confrontation, ready to face whatever came his way.
Maybe he’d end up battered, or he’s lose everything.
