"Think carefully before you answer me," Alex said casually. He glanced at me indifferently with a charming smile on his lips. However, his every move still revealed a trace of coldness.
Even though his voice sounded gentle, it gave people a sense of coldness, like ice and snow melting.
"I've thought it through," I replied without hesitation. "I won't leave."
Looking at Alex, the handsome man with an indifferent expression, before me, I sighed inwardly and thought, 'Could the reason he suddenly wanted to draw a clear line with me be that he knew Raphael had decided to change his heir?
'If I hadn't given Marvin the medicine to cure Alex's leg injury, Alex's leg would have healed.
'Samantha knew about Alex's physical condition, so I was sure the Herrera family would find out sooner or later.
'Raphael would never hand over Herrera Group to a disabled person, no matter what he had done for the company in the past.
'As long as Alex is a member of the Herrera family, he must give everything to the Herrera Group.'
Alex paused after hearing my answer. "Are you sure? Would you still be with me if I had nothing?"
I smiled faintly. "Even if something once glorious has declined, it is still stronger than ordinary things. You wouldn't cut off my allowance, would you?"
Alex gave me a meaningful look. "Don't tell me you married me just for my money."
"What else?" I looked at him with a sweet smile. After thinking it over carefully, I added, "Of course, your good looks are a big plus."
Alex frowned, and I sensed a hint of displeasure in his emotions.
'Is it wrong to compliment him on his looks?' I thought.
After a moment of silence, Alex said in a deep voice, "Would you mind if I were kicked out of the Herrera family?"
"No."
Alex let out a soft laugh. His voice was low and pleasant as he spoke again, "Good. I hope you remember what you said today."
I didn't want to leave him when he was facing setbacks.
After all, Alex before me chose to help me when I was at my most helpless.
And he risked his life to save me.
How could I abandon him when the Herrera family had cast him aside?
Moreover, Alex seemed to have sensed the incident in Javier's school was actually masterminded by me, with the intention wanting to send Javier abroad.
After all, with Alex's abilities, it would be easy for him to deal with a mere university professor. There was no need to send Javier abroad.
I didn't ask about Javier, just like Alex didn't ask about the wound on my neck.
Alex knew I wouldn't listen to him even if he told me to stop investigating Wilhelm's case.
He knew I was stubborn, and I understood his foresight.
It was just that sometimes we didn't seem to be on the same page.
"Are we not going to act anymore?" I asked softly, actually wanting to know if he had found out who wanted him dead.
However, I knew in my heart Alex would never tell me if it was someone from the Herrera family. Moreover, he wouldn't seek revenge.
I looked up at Alex sitting in a wheelchair. The shadows concealed most of his face, leaving only his hawk-like eyes radiating an intimidating coldness that seemed to warn others away. However, he was soft-hearted and foolish in fact.
I thought, 'It is true Raphael is Alex's biological father, but it seems to me he has never loved Alex, his youngest son.
'Instead, Raphael has a perverse need to control Alex.
Raphael treated Alex like giving a carrot after wielding a stick. Raphael never really cared about Alex's feelings.
'Otherwise, Raphael wouldn't have whipped Alex when he was a child until he couldn't get up.
'What kind of thing could a child have done wrong to be punished so severely?
'Do the Herreras care about Alex? When Alex was hurt, did any of them even bother to see him?
'Perhaps in the eyes of the Herrera family, only a whole Alex is worthy of being a descendant of the Herrera family.
'If Alex is no longer of value, he doesn't even deserve to appear in front of the Herreras.
'Perhaps deep down, the people of the Herrera family have always believed Alex is just the son of some woman outside.
'It's not easy for Alex, unloved by his father and uncared for by his mother, to have survived on his own until now.'
Thinking of that, a sense of pity arose in my heart.
I suddenly realized that perhaps it was the moment I saw Alex's biological mother or when I saw his childhood photos, that I felt pity for Alex.
Love arose from pity. It turned out it was quietly planted without me even realizing it.
"No, thanks," Alex said softly. "Just take care of yourself and don't lose your life. After all, your life is quite valuable right now."
"What doesn't kill one makes one stronger." My voice was firm. "Don't worry. I won't let you be known as a jinx."
Alex was silent, then glanced at me sideways and said coldly, "It seems like your injury is almost healed, and the project at the Industrial Park is about to start."
Before I could react, he remotely controlled the wheelchair and returned to his room.
Seeing his receding figure, I felt a pang in my heart.
I still couldn't get used to seeing him in a wheelchair.
I sat back on the sofa and couldn't help frowning. I thought, 'Alex has been discharged from the hospital, but I don't care about the company's affairs.
'I let Leah have free rein in the company.
The project at the Industrial Park?'
I sat up straight on the sofa abruptly. The project was a collaboration with the Parks family.
I thought again, 'I should go to the company and monitor the things. After all, entering the Parks Group's management team is not an easy task. The premise is to get Maddox's approval.
'It is just that with Leah in the way, she would never let me shine.'
Thinking of that, I couldn't help but smile. I took out my phone and glanced at the photos I received three days ago, then I logged into an alternate account and forwarded the photos.
Unsurprisingly, Leah would be a household name in Nifelheim City tomorrow.
After all, it was not uncommon for men to be playful, but playful women were often despised by everyone.
Especially since it was Miss Leah Herrera.
My phone suddenly rang less than a minute after the message was sent. I glanced at the caller ID and asked softly, "Are you too scared to post them?"
The man on the other end of the phone sneered. "I will naturally help with what you want me to do. But I don't think this kind of hurt is worth mentioning to Miss Herrera, is it?"
"This is just the appetizer!" I whispered.
After all, Leah was the one who killed the child in my belly. How could I let her off so easily?
Even though his voice sounded gentle, it gave people a sense of coldness, like ice and snow melting.
"I've thought it through," I replied without hesitation. "I won't leave."
