Chapter 159
When Seraphina spotted the commotion, she instantly realized this was about her.
She hurried over and grabbed Conway’s hand “Conway, what’s the hell is going on?”
Conway, gripping her hand and clutching his chest, was immediately attended to by a nurse who pressed the call button.
The doctor was there in no time, and a series of organized checks followed.
Seizing the moment, Seraphina turned to Lacy “What the heck is happening?”
Lacy looked at Seraphina for a while before finally letting out a sigh of relief. ‘Ms. Bennett, thank God you’re okay”
Getting the hint, Seraphina asked, ‘Does Conway know?”
She didn’t have time for more questions and rushed to comfort Conway, who looked devastated. “Conway, why are you freaking out? Look at me, I’m perfectly fine, not a scratch! Look! Look at me!”
As she spoke, she brushed her hair back and took off her coat to show Conway she was unhurt.
Conway just stared at her, his expression eased a bit, but he still looked pale.
After the doctor finished his check–up, he turned to Seraphina “Conway’s okay for now, but his health is fragile. He can’t take any more shocks. So, watch
it”
Seraphina nodded in agreement.
Once Conway calmed down, he asked, “Are you really okay?”
“I’m fine, Seraphina reassured him I’m standing right here, aren’t I? Don’t you trust your own eyes?”
“Did they find out who did it?” Conway asked.
“Don’t worry about that, Conway,” Seraphina said. “Someone’s on it.”
But Conway seemed unsatisfied, he turned to Lacy “Give me my phone. I need to make some calls.”
Seeing Lacy’s hesitation, Seraphina quickly intervened. “Conway, what are you up to? The doctor said you need to rest. Stop fussing about this!”
“No can do!” Conway protested. “How can I rest knowing something like this happened? I won’t rest in peace until this is cleared up.”
He started coughing violently as he spoke.
Seraphina comforted him by gently touching his chest. “Leandro’s handling it. You trust him, don’t you? So, stop worrying!”
“Leandro?” Conway looked up at Seraphina. You two…”
Seraphina paused before revealing. “He saved me this time.”
Hearing that, Conway lit up. “So, you two…eh?”
Looking at Conway’s childlike smile, Seraphina was at a loss for words.
Conway seemed to have his own conclusions and didn’t press further. He perked up and held Seraphina’s hand. “Leandro’s trustworthy. As long as you believe in him, I’ll be at ease.”
Seraphina held his hand back, saying nothing.
Exhausted, Conway soon fell asleep again. Even in sleep, his grip on Seraphina’s hand remained firm.
In a quiet voice, Seraphina asked Lacy, “What exactly happened? How did Conway find out?”
Lacy explained, “The incident had a big impact and involved the police. The Reynolds Group, being a public company, had to address it. Conway has many connections, and he somehow got wind of it. He insisted on seeing you safe with his own eyes”
Seraphina turned to look at Conway, falling silent for a while.
Valerio stood by her side quietly, patting her gently when she didn’t say anything.
Seraphina turned to him, then back at Conway, and silently hugged Valerio.
Around noon, Valerio was getting hungry. But with Conway still holding Seraphina’s hand. She didn’t want to disturb him and asked Lacy to take Valerio out for food
Just as Lacy and Valerio left, the door was pushed open. Seraphina turned around, expecting Lacy had come back for something, but was stunned to see Magdalen.
Magdalen had lost some weight after the turmoil but still looked splendid and striking.
She didn’t expect to see Seraphina either. After pausing for a moment, she walked over to Conway’s bedside, ignoring Seraphina.
Seraphina watched her quietly, then said, “It’s been over a decade since you last saw Conway, hasn’t it?”
From the time she was ten, Magdalen sent her back to the Reynolds family and moved to Starhaven. For all these years, she never returned to Sunburst
City Bruce managed to see her occasionally when flying to Starhaven, but Conway, due to his health, rarely left the city, so they seldom met.
Seraphina thought to herself, if it weren’t for Conway stepping in to handle this mess, she might not have returned.
