Chapter 233 Regret
Seraphina asked, “Your last name is Dros? Are you related to Orion?”
Kaveh paused for two seconds before replying, “How could I be related to someone as wealthy as him? I’m just an independent explorer, trying to make a living.”
Seraphina nodded in understanding.
In all the wealthy circles she knew, none of the rich kids would risk their lives coming to a place like this.
When Seraphina heard that name, she couldn’t help but think of him.
What’s he doing now?
A thousand nautical miles away, aboard a luxury cruise ship.
Numerous helicopters roared overhead, and drones scoured the ocean depths for any sign of life or debris.
Even military–grade equipment was deployed, but there were no results at all.
Justin received a call from Sivir.
“Orion had gone home.”
“Understood.”
At the Dros Estate.
Orion’s private doctor stepped out of his room. Ramona hurried over and asked, “How is Orion?”
The doctor sighed and spoke in a serious tone.
“Mr. Dros has been running himself ragged without rest for days. His body is exhausted, and he’s reached his limit. What he needs now is plenty of rest and proper nutrition.”
Ramona nodded and quickly ordered the preparation of a variety of rare and valuable medicinal supplements.
Theresa, standing nearby, couldn’t contain her anger. She cursed, “That jinx! She did nothing but cause trouble for my son. It’s a blessing she’s dead. If she wasn’t, I wouldn’t let her off so easily.”
Ramona shot her a furious glare.
“Shut up! If word of this spreads, do you think the Crosses will let you off?”
Theresa mumbled awkwardly and said, “But we’re at home…”
Ramona’s mind was heavy with thoughts. Theresa seized the opportunity to speak again.
“Dad, can we bring Hannah back now that Seraphina’s gone?”
Ramona didn’t even look at her. He found her foolishness almost laughable.

“The Crosses just suffered a major incident, and you’re already doing this? Do you want to send the message that we’re celebrating Seraphina’s death? If Sivir targets our family, are you going to step up and fix it?”
Theresa’s face turned pale, and the disappointment in her eyes was impossible to hide.
“Mr. Ramona, your grandson has awakened.”
Everyone perked up at this. Ramona quickly walked into Orion’s room. “Orion … ”
Orion opened his eyes and looked at his familiar surroundings. A flash of panic crossed his face as he abruptly sat up. Orion disregarded the IV that tore into his skin and was ready to leave.
“Where are you going?”
Ramona’s voice was stern, and his anger was barely concealed.
The butler and maids moved to restrain Orion. Everyone was too afraid to speak.
Orion’s expression was grim, his tone resolute.
“I need to find Seraphina.”
“She’s dead.”
Ramona’s words hit Orion like a thunderbolt. Everyone knew about this, but he refused to accept it.
That word touched the deepest, most painful part of his reality.
It made him nervous.
Finally, the last shreds of his nerves snapped.
When he looked up, his bloodshot eyes filled with a cold determination.
“She’s not dead. She can’t be!”
His voice was chilling and filled with an icy resolve. How could he leave Seraphina alone in the ocean?
No matter what, he had to bring her home.
