Celestine felt her breathing go off rhythm, like the air had been knocked out of her. “Wait,” she said quickly. “That’s too much. I can’t process this. I need a moment. I’m hanging up.”

She ended the call immediately.

She sat there, stunned.

Her dream had finally come true. Her son, who had never shown interest in women, finally had someone,

“Gregory,” she called out. “Gregory, something huge just happened.”

Cassian put his phone away and returned to the private room. It was empty.

The server told him Seraphina had gone to the restroom.

At the same time, Seraphina had just finished washing her hands and was about to turn when a cleaning woman rushed in, clearly in pain.

They collided.

A thermometer slipped from the woman’s hand and shattered on the tile.

Tiny silver beads scattered across the white floor.

The woman wanted to apologize, but the pain was unbearable. She rushed straight into a stall.

She had been working with a headache all day and tried to check her temperature. Instead, her stomach cramped violently, forcing her to find a restroom immediately.

“I’m sorry, miss,” she called weakly from inside the stall. “Are you hurt?”

“I’m fine.” Seraphina looked at the beads on the floor. “That stuff is toxic.”

Afraid of making things worse and getting into trouble, the woman hurriedly said, “It’s okay. I’ll clean it up right after. Please go ahead if you’re busy.”

Seraphina frowned.

Mercury was toxic and evaporated easily. It needed proper handling.

The woman came out of the stall, saw Seraphina still there, and panicked, thinking she was about to be scolded. “I’m really sorry. I didn’t mean to…”

“Cotton swabs. Eggs. An empty plastic bottle,” Seraphina cut in calmly.

“What?”

“Go get them. Now.”

The woman froze, then nodded rapidly. “Okay. Okay,”

She returned quickly with the items.

Seraphina dipped the swabs into egg white and carefully picked up each bead, placing them into the bottle.

The woman finally understood and crouched down to help. The two of them worked on the floor, collecting the beads one by one. At that moment, Lyanna slipped in behind a delivery worker.

She had wandered around the restaurant for a while before reaching the restroom area.

She thought she heard Seraphina’s voice. She leaned closer to look.

Her mood instantly lifted.

So Seraphina works here? As a cleaner? Cleaning bathrooms? She’s that broke? Wow. This is almost too satisfying.

She almost went in to show off, but her phone vibrated. The delivery staff was leaving.

She couldn’t stay behind.

Lyanna had no choice but to turn around. As she did, she brushed past Cassian, who was looking for Seraphina.

Her eyes lit up. Who is he?
