Tangled in His Obsession (Seraphina) novel Chapter 460

Chapter 460

When Leandro sneaked back into the hospital after his little escapade, he found Seraphina lounging on the couch, one foot propped up as she leisurely flipped through a magazine.

Keen escorted Leandro back to his room, and upon seeing Seraphina’s relaxed posture, he instantly sensed trouble brewing. Compared to Keen, Leandro was much more composed, yet when he spoke, his voice was notably gentle, “Back already?”

Seraphina lifted her gaze from the magazine, her eyes casually drifting over to Leandro.

“Well, look who’s returned,” she drawled, “Managed to come back without passing out in the streets, did you?”

“Just went for a little stroll, nothing drastic,” Leandro replied, beginning to change out of his clothes to get back into the hospital bed.

But no sooner had he finished speaking than the attending doctor and the nurse on duty burst into the room.

The doctor, clearly anxious, couldn’t help but scold him, “Do you have any idea how serious your injuries are? It’s only been a few days since your surgery, and here you are sneaking out of the hospital for three whole hours! What if something had happened? Who would be responsible then?”

“Yeah, Mr. Reynolds,” the nurse chimed in while preparing to check his vitals, “You’re making it tough for us, and Mrs. Reynolds, she’s been worried sick.”

Hearing the nurse mention her, Seraphina finally spoke up, her tone nonchalant, “Me? Worried? He is a big boy; he knows his own body better than anyone. It’s not our place to fret over him.”

With that, she stood up and sauntered out of the room.

“See what you’ve done,” the doctor said to Leandro. “You’ve upset her. You’re not just being irresponsible with your health; you’re being irresponsible to her as well!”

Leandro merely smiled faintly, “Don’t worry, doc. I assure you, you won’t be the one shouldering the blame.”

After giving Keen a knowing look, Keen sighed deeply, bracing himself as he followed Seraphina out.

She was outside chatting with a janitor when Keen appeared, causing her to roll her eyes at his approach.

Keen, on the verge of tears, could only explain, “Mrs. Reynolds, he went to see his mother… After all this time, he hadn’t seen her. He didn’t even know how she was doing… The son’s connection to his mother is deep, he couldn’t simply stay put and not know.”

Seraphina nodded, seeming to agree, “Fair point.”

“So don’t be mad at Mr. Reynolds. He wasn’t trying to risk his health on purpose.””

“I know,” Seraphina said. “I’m not mad at him.”

Upon hearing it, Keen suddenly had a sinking feeling.

Sure enough, Seraphina added, “His concern for his mother is natural, and I have no reason to be mad about that. But his reckless escape from the hospital, that’s on you. As an assistant, it’s your job to manage these things, and you failed!”

Keen was aghast, “Me?”

Seraphina’s lips curled into a smirk, “Any objections?”

Keen’s shoulders slumped, “No, it’s my responsibility, it’s my fault. If this happens again, I’ll inform you immediately…

She nodded, giving him a stern look before asking, “How’s the situation over there?”

“Mrs. Reynolds is stable, no changes,” Keen replied. “But she refuses to see Mr. Bruce and… she’s asked for a divorce.”

Seraphina paused at that. Gloria, after decades trapped in a nonsensical marriage, had finally come to her senses with such clarity./

Just when Bruce realized his lifelong debt to her and sought to make amends, she had decisively chosen to walk away. She had lived in confusion for decades, looked pitiful for decades, yet in this final moment, she reclaimed her pride and dignity.

This was unexpected for Seraphina as well, and upon hearing the news, she felt a twinge of melancholy.

Upon returning to the hospital room, Leandro had finished some tests. The nurse was reporting his blood pressure to the doctor, and the readings were not promising.

The doctor’s expression was grim as he admonished, “Look at you, just starting to recover and now this. Are you trying to run yourself into the ground?” Leandro, leaning back in the hospital bed, was compliant, “This won’t happen again.”
