They stared at each other for a moment.
Then Alexis smiled and started the car.
After rolling up the window, she drove off.
“Alexis!” Leonel called out to her.
But she didn’t stop.
Leonel knew she wouldn't cto any harm, so what he should do was to go back upstairs and think about how

But all of a sudden, he remembered the maple tree in the backyard.
Ignoring the pain in his leg, he slowly walked towards the tree.
He could see the tender red leaves hanging onto the branches.
Since it was late summer, the tree had now started changing color.
Leonel’s lips trembled and his facial muscles twitched uncontrollably.
Now that the maple tree had changed color, would he really have a chance to start anew with Alexis again?
On her way back, Alexis took smedicine to stop the bleeding.
The wound appeared daunting, yet it was actually nothing.
By the tshe reached home, the bleeding had ceased.
The villa was silent.
In the drawing room, Waylen sat on the sofa, a financial magazine in his hands.
His attention, however, seemed elsewhere.
As Alexis entered through the doorway, Waylen looked up and noticed the cut on her wrist.
“What happened, Alexis?”
Hearing Waylen’s gentle voice, Alexis paused, taken aback.
Despite being a mother of three, in Waylen’s eyes, she remained the little girl who would snuggle on his lap,
listening intently to the fairy tales he read her deep into the night.
“I'm fine, Dad,” Alexis replied softly.
“Don’t lie to me, girl! It’s written all over your face... Did you find out about Leonel’s injury?”
Alexis blinked, giving Waylen a blank stare.
Seeing her response, Waylen didn’t press further.

He retrieved the medical kit, and then carefully bandaged the wound on Alexis’ wrist.
Initially, Alexis resisted, prompting Waylen to admonish firmly, “Be a good girl, Alexis.
As he dressed the wound, Waylen inquired, “Now that you know, what will you do? Reunite with Leonel to repay
him? | know it’s not easy for you to sever ties completely; after all, Leonel and you have grown up together, and
now he has sacrificed a leg.
But follow your heart before deciding anything, Alexis.
There are many ways to repay him.
| just don’t want you to get hurt, alright?”
Alexis understood what Waylen’s was trying to say.
She listened in silence, reflecting for a considerable tbefore responding quietly, “Dad, | can’t predict the
future, but I'm certain I'll regret it for the rest of my life if | don’t do this.
More than that, | can’t let him avoid facing it.
