Her voice was strained as she asked, “I thought we got rid of these last time?”
Leonel’s fingers tensed a little.
He understood that she had figured something out.
But driven by his pride, he replied in an even tone, “What does it matter to you?”
Alexis didn’t say anything.
She just slowly sat down next to him.
Leonel froze.

But there was turmoil inside his heart.
Alexis had just told him that she wanted to give him another chance.
He screwed his eyes shut for a long time.
Every fiber in his being wanted to say yes and admit that he too wanted to be with her again; to assure her that
he wouldn't disappoint her this time; to promise her that he would love and cherish her with all his heart forever
and ever.
But he just felt not worthy enough to be with her anymore.
His left leg was crippled.
He needed assistance even with the most basic things.
How would he be able to provide her with the means to live a normal life? He couldn't help but feel that he didn’t

As he spoke, his heart was aching badly.
Alexis listened quietly to him.
When he was done, they both remained silent for what seemed Like a long time.
“What if | don’t leave?” she suddenly asked.
“What if | insist on staying and taking care of you?”
Leonel clenched his fists when he heard this.
He stared at her for a moment with a sharp look in his eyes.
“Is that so?” he asked with a sneer.
The next second, without prior warning, he grabbed her and threw her roughly onto the bed.
Then he pinned her down with his weight.
