Female NovelChapter 2504 Cecilia said gently, “It's heartbreaking to see Alexis like this. Maybe you should go and see how she's doing? They grew up together and all. Even if romance is off the table, they still share a connection.
They're just too proud to admit it.” Mark nodded in agreement.
He glanced at Leonel, who lay there unconscious, and murmured under his breath, “He is such a fool!” Cecilia nodded.
As the doctor administered treatment to Leonel, she gently wiped his forehead. She was concerned about him.
Mark left the room.
Alexis quickly composed herself and wiped her eyes. “How's his condition?” Mark closed the door and patted her head. “Still concerned about him, huh? Well, here's an idea. Since he laid a hand on you, hit him back a hundred times. I bet he wouldn't dare retaliate or he'll have to answer to your father and I.” Alexis softly shook her head. “That's not really the issue.” She went on, “This never should've happened at all! Things might still be fine if I hadn't given in. It wasn't supposed to go this way! This isn't about whether I can forgive him or not; it’s about our completely opposing values.” Leonel had spent a long time abroad.
Thus, he considered his past with Serenity to be unimportant.
But for Alexis, their history carried considerable significance.
Undoubtedly, she couldn't just overlook that slap.
She wasn't willing to belittle herself, nor did she want to bear seeing Serenity constantly around her husband, making her feel sick all the time.
Mark showed understanding and respect for her decision.
In this time, numerous young women decided to remain single. Alexis had her family to look out for her even if she decided not to marry for life.
He took Alexis to the kitchen to make something special, showing her how much he was fond of her.
He prepared small wontons and added chopped cilantro which was her favorite.Contents belong to NovelDrama.Org
“When my mother was still alive, she used to prepare these for Cecilia, who was very dear to her,” Mark said with a tender and loving voice.
Alexis rested comfortably on her great-uncle and paid close attention as he shared.
Mark served two bowls, one for Alexis and the other for Leonel.
Aware of Leonel’s dislike for cilantro, she deliberately added a lot to his portion.
