Abandoned Luna Now Untouchable (Cecilia) novel Chapter 362

Cecilia ’s pov

I didn’t wake until noon.

My body had finally given in to the exhaustion that had been building for days.

Sebastian was sitting on the sofa in my room. He was typing quietly on his laptop with one hand and speaking into his wireless headset with the other.

His voice was low and steady, barely disturbing the calm.

When lunchtime came, someone knocked gently on the door.

Outside, the others were already stepping out of their rooms, drifting downstairs one by one.

I looked… better.

The dark circles under my eyes had faded a little, and the haunted look I’d had since last night had softened into something more composed.

Lunch was already set on the table, everything arranged neatly in polished golden dishes.

But Daisy wasn’t there.

Before Sebastian could say anything, one of the staff stepped up.

“Miss Riley’s fever came back,” she said. “Mrs. Daisy stayed upstairs with her. She said to start without her.”

Sebastian didn’t say a word. He simply turned and left the dining room, his expression unreadable.

Naturally, we all followed, leaving the untouched meal behind.

Upstairs, we gathered outside Riley’s bedroom.

Sebastian knocked softly.

Daisy’s tired voice came from inside. “Come in.”

The room was dim. Heavy curtains blocked out the sunlight.

Riley lay in bed, her small face flushed with fever, a cooling patch stuck to her forehead. She looked fragile and too quiet for a child her age.

Daisy had been sitting beside her but stood the moment we entered.

“Sebastian, you’re here. Have you eaten yet ? I can ask the kitchen to…”

She didn’t get to finish.

Sebastian had already moved to the side of the bed, leaning down to check the girl’s temperature with the back of his hand.

His brow creased instantly. “Why is she burning up again ?”

“I don’t know… I’ve already called Dr. Harlan. He should be here any minute.”

“Take her to the hospital,” Sebastian said. His tone left no room for discussion.

“It’s just a cold…”

“She needs a full examination. At the hospital.”

His voice was calm, but the weight behind it was unmistakable.

Daisy hesitated, then nodded. “All right. If you think that’s best.”

She paused, then seemed to remember something.

“I’ve sent people to look into the butler issue. Still no updates yet… I really am sorry about what happened, Cecilia.”

I kept my tone neutral. “Don’t worry about it. Right now, the child matters more.”

My response was perfectly appropriate.

Daisy looked grateful for my understanding.

Just then, a voice came from the hall.

“Mrs. Daisy, Dr. Harlan has arrived.”

Daisy turned to the door, about to tell him to come in.

But Sebastian spoke first. His voice was sharp.

“Tell him to leave. We don’t need him.”

Daisy frowned. “Sebastian ?”

“A doctor who can’t even treat a mild fever properly ? He’s wasting our time. Find someone else.”

“Thank you, Harper,” Daisy said, her voice soft and a little too careful.

“Don’t mention it,” Harper replied, offering a calm smile as she gave Daisy’s shoulder a gentle pat. “You’re exhausted.”

On the way to the hospital, we split into two cars.

Sebastian, Tang, and I rode together. Daisy, Harper, and Sawyer took the other one.

It felt like a strange choice.

Most people would expect the uncle to ride with his sick niece, but Daisy didn’t say anything. It was like she didn’t care.

When we arrived, Riley was taken in right away for a full check-up.

Daisy insisted on going with her, and no one objected.

Sebastian nodded once. “Harper and Sawyer, go with them.”

Then he looked at me and Tang. “Come with me.”

He led us down a long hallway into a private waiting room.

The whole place felt cold and clinical.

The lights were too bright.

The chairs were stiff and uncomfortable, like they were designed to keep people from settling in too long.

We didn’t talk.

Sebastian sat across from me.

Tang stood near the door, arms behind his back, silent as always.

Twenty minutes later, his phone buzzed.

He answered immediately.

Sawyer’s voice came through, hushed and regretful. “Alpha… Mrs. Daisy and Harper got into it. Badly. Harper walked out.”
