Tangled in His Obsession (Seraphina) novel Chapter 358

Chapter 358

Leandro wearily trudged forward and sat at the edge of Gloria’s bed.

He had said it many times before. He was never one to beat around the bush, but now, looking at Gloria lying on the bed, he felt compelled to repeat himself.

“You know he’s always been like this, why keep hurting yourself over it?” Leandro said slowly. “Is it really that hard to let go?”

Gloria laid motionless, taking a long time to respond.

Her face was expressionless, her lips slowly parting to speak in a weak voice, “I won’t let him go, not even if I die… I’ll make sure he suffers for the rest of his life…”

Leandro’s gaze hardened for a moment, then he quickly drew back the blanket covering Gloria.

The bed was soaked in blood, chilling shivers ran down his spine at the sight of the cutting wounds on Gloria’s wrists.

Leandro felt a sudden chill throughout his body.

This was Gloria’s second suicide attempt in short succession.

The previous time, she had swallowed half a bottle of sleeping pills. They didn’t send her to the hospital, didn’t tell anyone, and had been saved here at the Reynolds Vista Retreat.

This time, however, she absolutely had to go to the hospital.

Upon hearing the news, Seraphina hesitated for a moment, but eventually rushed to the hospital.

Despite the severity of the situation, the hospital was eerily calm. As Seraphina arrived at the emergency room, she saw no one from the Reynolds family, other than Karan standing guard at the door. Even Leandro was nowhere to be seen.

“Karan,” Seraphina approached and called her name, “How’s Gloria?”

Karan looked pale. She glanced at Seraphina and weakly said, “She’s still in critical condition.”

Seraphina took another look at the ER door and asked, “Where’s Leandro?”

“I don’t know.” Karan replied indifferently. “He left a while ago.”

Seraphina didn’t say anything more, sat with Karan for a while, then got up to find Leandro..

Under these circumstances, Leandro couldn’t possibly have left the hospital.

Seraphina had just taken a few steps when she saw Lorenzo Reynolds.

Lorenzo gestured to her, and Seraphina quickly approached and followed him into a resting room.

As expected, Leandro was in the resting room.

He was sitting on the sofa, his face cold and his eyes deep, holding a lit cigarette.

He had started smoking again.

Smelling the cigarette smoke filling the room, Seraphina could guess Leandro’s mood at the moment.

Lorenzo led Seraphina in, then quickly left the room.

Seraphina then went to sit next to Leandro, reaching out to hold the cigarette in his hand.

Leandro lifted his eyes to look at her, seemed to suddenly snap back to reality, paused for a moment, then put out the cigarette.

Neither of them spoke. They just sat in silence, waiting for the impending news.

About ten minutes later, Lorenzo opened the door and calmly said, “Her vitals have stabilized. She’s no longer in immediate danger.”

Upon hearing this, Seraphina let out a relieved sigh.

Leandro, however, showed no sign of relief. He got up and left the resting room.

Seraphina thought he was going to see Gloria, but Leandro didn’t stop at the ER. He walked straight out of the hospital’s emergency department.

“Leandro! Leandro!” Karan called out to him several times, but he seemed not to hear her.
