Leonel’s voice dropped even lower.
“You should worry about yourself, not me.
He quickly rummaged through her bag and found the hemostatic medicine.
Noreen handed him a bottle of water without a word.
Leonel unscrewed the cap and handed it to Alexis.
“Take the pill,” he said firmly.
Alexis didn’t budge.
Leonel, unsure what was going on, fed her the medicine himself.

His warm hand brushed against her lips, and both of them flinched at the touch.
In the dark car, they locked eyes, their expressions complicated.
Leonel cleared his throat and said in a raspy voice, “You're a grown-up now.
You can’t keep acting this careless.
From now on...”
He couldn’t go on.
He remembered they were divorced.
He remembered he couldn't offer her a normal life.
And he remembered she might be with someone else now.
Tears sparkled in Alexis’ eyes.
She leaned in and pressed her lips against his palm.
The tiny pill was swept away by her tongue, leaving a damp mark on Leonel’s hand.
Leonel’s hand gently curled as he handed her the water bottle.
“Take a sip,” he said.
Alexis took a drink and Leonel got the first aid kit to patch up her wound.
While wrapping the bandage, he couldn’t avoid touching her skin.
As he held her slender wrist, he noticed she seemed more delicate than before.
Leonel muttered, “Looks like someone’s not taking good care of you.

She just pulled her hand away after he finished bandaging her palm.
She leaned back into the seat and kept quiet.
Leonel didn’t say a word either.
Occasionally, lights from the street outside flickered across their faces, casting shadows that made it hard for
them to see each other's expressions.
When they reached the hospital, Leonel said, “Alright, let's get your wound properly treated.
The driver and Noreen got out of the car to give them space.
Only Alexis and Leonel stayed in the back seat.
She didn’t move.
