Raelynn still wasn't entirely lucid yet.
So when Ian hugged her, she was momentarily confused, completely forgetting how to react.
Those few seconds of hesitation.
Looked almost like quiet acceptance.
Outside the door.
Sebastian stood silently, his eyes fixed through the small glass window, watching the scene unfold with crystal clarity.
A man and woman, having survived a nightmare, realizing the preciousness of life and holding each other tightly, celebrating the fact that they hadn't lost one another.
It was the most disgustingly sweet kind of romance in the world.
His face was completely impassive.
His dark eyes reflected a faint, chilling glint.
He didn't push the door open.
He simply lowered his gaze to his left shoulder, currently immobilized in a brace. It wasn't too severe—a fracture and a dislocation—but it would take some time to heal.
Sebastian pulled his gaze away.
And turned to leave.
Coincidentally.
He ran into Cordelia Hudson, who happened to be in Seaport City and had rushed over the moment she heard the news.
Cordelia gave him a look of surprise.
Sebastian paused for a second, gave a polite nod, and walked away without looking back.
Cordelia couldn't help but turn to watch him go.
She narrowed her eyes thoughtfully, then finally stepped up to the hospital room door.
That was when she spotted the tender moment inside.
She raised an eyebrow with a smirk.
And decided not to interrupt just yet.
Thankfully, Ian knew not to push his luck. He patted Raelynn's shoulder lightly and let go before she could say a word, sitting back down. "The most important thing is that you're not hurt. That's all that matters."
"I'm fine."
A memory suddenly flashed in Raelynn's mind.
A figure diving toward her in the dead of night, locking her in a tight embrace to absorb the brunt of the impact as they tumbled down the hill.
She instinctively scrutinized Ian.
"Are you hurt?" Raelynn looked at Ian with deep gratitude. "Did you have a doctor check you out?"
Meeting her concerned gaze, Ian furrowed his brows slightly, but chose not to elaborate.
"I'm fine."
Cordelia smiled and shook her head. "Don't worry about him. Right now, your main priority is taking care of yourself. When we get back to Kingsford, you must come over. I'll personally cook you a feast to build your strength back up. I asked the doctor—you're barely a hundred pounds at five-foot-seven! If you had fallen all by yourself, you would've broken bones everywhere."
"True," Raelynn chuckled.
If someone hadn't acted as her human shield, she definitely would have ended up with multiple fractures.
Thank God for a physically robust man like Ian.
Cordelia smiled warmly at the two of them, thoughtfully pushing the thermos closer to Raelynn. "Alright, I won't overstay my welcome. I'll leave you two alone. Call me if you need anything."
She knew exactly how this worked.
This was the absolute perfect moment to heat up their romance.
Why stick around and ruin Ian's progress?
Cordelia swept out of the room as quickly as she arrived.
"Want some?" Ian pointed to the soup.

No, no, no! Sebastian needs to nip the Zella situation and win Raelynn back! Also, Leo, he is a wildcard for Sebastian's master plan... Sebastian- we know you know, what we know, win your family back!...
I thought now Sebastian and Raelynn will be together now that seraphina is not but you are not letting them to be. Two new female around Sebastian 😭...
I think Ian is sly. He is not what he seems. Sebastian loves Raelyn and they have a daughter together. Besides he has no family to even take care of him. I feel Raelyn should realise that Sebastian is only her true love and go back to him....
The croix family is evil...
