Chapter 2801 Darwin was mildly taken aback.

He hadn't anticipated that Alexis would really be willing to help him.

Without further words, she proceeded to the ATM near the hospital, withdrawing $200, 00 from multiple bank cards. Whether or not he expressed gratitude didn't concern her.

The wealth of the Fowler family could sustain them for countless lifetimes, rendering $200, 000 insignificant.

Darwin gazed at the money, sighing with a mix of emotions.

He believed Alexis now saw him not with sympathy but with disdain.

Once an heir to a wealthy family, he cast it all aside for Serenity, losing both family and dignity. Borrowing money marked a further descent.

“Alexis, am I useless?” Alexis responded plainly, “It's not that you're useless. You tend to be a pushover and but also a male chauvinist. If you were more discreet, perhaps the Larson family wouldn't be in such dire straits.” This constituted her entire response.

As she strolled back from the bank to the hospital, sunlight bathed her, causing Darwin's eyes to sting.

In a hoarse voice, he thanked her, and Alexis casually waved her hand.

Darwin and Serenity became collateral damage in Alexis and Leonel’s relationship. While Alexis and Leonel emerged unscathed, Darwin and Serenity endured considerable suffering in their interactions.

A sigh escaped Alexis.

Ultimately, Darwin lacked the cruelty exhibited by Leonel.

(thanoss.com) If Darwin possessed even half of Leonel’s ruthlessness, his circumstances might not have unfolded in this manner.

On the hospital's second floor, Leonel silently observed the scene from a window.

Darwin sought financial assistance from Alexis. Naturally, Leonel comprehended the purpose behind the borrowed money since he ensured continuous surveillance of the couple. Leonel also wondered if Darwin might be too ashamed to disclose the lack of privacy with Serenity to Alexis.

In fact, Alexis lending money to Darwin took Leonel by surprise.

Did Darwin hold a place as a friend in her heart? Leonel grappled with the thought of him pushing her friend too far.

Would she harbor resentment against him for it? Was there a possibility of renewed contact between Alexis and Darwin? A soft pull on Leonel’s pants drew his attention downward, revealing Evelyn's desire for him to pick her up.

Chapter 2802 Additionally, she yearned to observe the beautiful clouds outside.

As Leonel gazed at his innocent daughter, a sense of gloom lifted from his countenance. Upon Alexis’ return, he reverted to his customary appearance, exuding maturity and gentleness.

Presenting Evelyn's lab results, Leonel assured, “She's in good health.” Alexis scrutinized the document attentively. Eventually, she tenderly hugged and kissed Evelyn, who reciprocated with a kiss.

Later, Leonel had a scheduled meeting at the Exceed Group. Upon entering the car, he secured his seat belt and proposed, “Why don't you and Evelyn come with me to the company? After the meeting, I'l treat you to lunch.” Excitedly, Evelyn applauded and exclaimed, “Daddy is taking Mommy on a date.” Amused, Alexis inquired, “Where did you pick up these phrases?” Gazing at Alexis with intensity, Leonel questioned, “So, what do you say? We're heading to a French restaurant. They offer excellent options for children as well. Indeed, it's the restaurant your mom owns.” Looking at Alexis in the eyes, he suggested, “Won't you play the piano?” Reflecting on the past, Alexis asserted in a straightforward manner, “I have no interest in playing it” As Leonel initiated the car, navigating the hospital's exit, he wore a renewed smile. “How many years has it been? Why are you revisiting that? Frankly, her piano skills didn't match up to yours.” Alexis was taken aback.

She understood that when Leonel mentioned Serenity, it was a subtle attempt to gauge if she still harbored resentment.

(thanoss.com) However, at this juncture, Alexis didn't attach much significance to it.

Perhaps Evelyn's birth had consumed too much of Alexis’ time and energy over the years, leaving her with no energy to make a fuss about such matters. Alexis even believed that in situations where she caught Leonel cheating on her, she would stay calm and simply advise him to exercise caution and use protections.

A soft laughter escaped Alexis as her own thoughts amused her.

Turning his head, Leonel inquired about the reason for her amusement.

How could she really tell him? Realizing something, Leonel cast her a warning glance. “Mrs. Douglas, I won't betray you. It's in your best interest to abandon such thoughts.” Alexis found it amusing.

Following a brief pause, Leonel posed a sudden question. “I didn't spot you in the hospital earlier when I came back from breakfast with Evelyn. Where did you disappear to?" Alexis mustered a smile and responded, “I experienced stomach discomfort and visited the restroom.” Unperturbed, Leonel maintained his composure.

He advised in a gentle tone, “In that case, steer clear of spicy dishes for lunch later.

Alexis concurred with a simple, “Okay.” Within the hospital's inpatient department, Serenity received a pleasant surprise when Darwin reappeared with $200, 000. Given their current circumstances, the money undeniably represented a substantial sum for them.

Chapter 2803 Initially anticipating death, her glimmer of hope for life now resurfaced.

The infusion of $200, @0@ fueled optimism that, with another attempt, the doctor might successfully treat her illness.

Urgently, she clutched Darwin's hand, pleading, “Darwin, please, let's give it one more shot. How about exploring another session?” Darwin exhibited indecision.

Eventually, he ambled toward the French window, engaging in silent contemplation while toying with a cigarette.

Acknowledging the incurable nature of Serenity’s illness, he grappled with the realization that further treatment would only intensify her suffering.

In truth, he harbored resentment toward her.

Yet at present, they find themselves relying on each other like two destitute individuals trying to survive.

A distorted and unsettling sentiment compelled him to believe that if Serenity perished, life held little purpose for him. Despite Lacking genuine affection for her, his emotions towards her were tangled in a web of confusion and negativity.
