Tangled in His Obsession (Seraphina) novel Chapter 265

Chapter 265

Seraphina sat stiffly in her chair. After a moment, she realized that it was her phone that was ringing. She snapped back to reality, snatching up her phone quickly. After a glance at the screen, she immediately answered, “Hello?”

“Mrs. Reynolds, this is Sunburst City Hospital,” a calm female voice came from the other end. “Mr. Reynolds instructed us to inform you immediately if there’s any news about Ms. Sandra. Just now, Ms. Sandra woke up-”

Before Seraphina could respond, she had already jumped to her feet.

She moved so abruptly she knocked into her desk, but she managed to bolt out of the room.

The security guards at Carney Artful Reverie saw Seraphina rush out and immediately got on their toes.

Seeing Seraphina about to head out, Abbot and others quickly followed her.

Once in the car, Seraphina ordered the driver, “To the hospital.”

Upon hearing the destination, the driver and Abbot exchanged a glance. Abbot looked at Seraphina’s expression, then cautiously asked, “Mrs. Reynolds, has Ms. Sandra’s condition improved?”

Seraphina had been quiet these past few days, but this time she answered him, “She’s awake.”

“That’s great,” the driver echoed. “Don’t worry, Ms. Sandra is a fighter. She’ll pull through.”

Sitting in the backseat, Seraphina pressed her hand to her chest at the driver’s words.

Her heart was beating fast and irregular, completely unstable.

By evening, city traffic was congested, and the car slowly made its way through the traffic.

Seraphina stared at the slowly receding scenery outside the window. Although her face remained calm, her restless hands betrayed her inner anxiety.

The driver was also anxious, but no matter how urgent, the car can’t just sprout wings and fly.

Suddenly, the ringtone of a cell phone in the car went off again. Seraphina was about to reach for her phone when she saw Abbot had already answered the call.

After a brief conversation, Abbot turned to look at her, “Mr. Reynolds is nearby. He plans to go to the hospital with you.”

Upon hearing this news, Seraphina only managed a simple acknowledgment.

The car moved another few hundred meters before stopping at the side of the road. Leandro emerged from a nearby building and got into the car.

Feeling restless, Seraphina initiated conversation to divert her attention, “What are you doing here?”

“I had a meeting nearby.” Leandro responded, “I got the news of Sandra waking up right after it ended.”

The topic immediately brought back Seraphina’s uneasiness. She simply responded with a hum and turned her face away.

Leandro seemed to sense something. He reached out and held her hand, “What’s wrong?”

Seraphina didn’t know.

Sandra waking up should be a good thing, but her heart was filled with unease.

“I’m fine.” Seraphina exhaled softly, then looked up at him. “I was just thinking about what I’m going to say to scold her when I see her.”

Leandro looked at Seraphina, gently pulling her hand to his lips for a kiss, then said, “You’ll have plenty of time to scold her later. Let’s not do it today.”

Hearing Leandro’s words, Seraphina’s eyes welled up with tears. After glancing at him, she nestled into his arms.

“Okay.” Seraphina said, “I’ll take your advice. I’ll let it slide for today. But I’ll scold her three times a day until she’s fully recovered.”

Leandro wrapped his arms around her and simply said, “Alright.”

Seraphina snuggled closer to him, tightly holding his hand.

By the time the car finally arrived at the hospital, it felt like a long time had passed for Seraphina.

As soon as the car entered the hospital, she rose from Leandro’s arms. The car hadn’t even stopped before she pushed open the door, ready to get out, but she suddenly felt the strength in Leandro’s hand.

“Take it easy,” Leandro said.

So Seraphina was restrained by him, preventing her from getting out of the car too hastily.
