Chapter 82
Herman reacted swiftly, firing off another round. This time, the bullet found its mark, landing straight in Fidelia’s heart.
After Fidelia fell to the ground, Herman quickly moved to the window to get a glimpse of what’s going on inside the house.
Fidelia’s body lay strewn on the ground, with Balch right next to her, silently taking in the scene. Underneath him was a chaotic mess of blood.
Seeing this, Herman quickly returned to Leandro and Seraphina, “How are you holding up, Leandro?”
Leandro held Seraphina tightly, his gaze fixed on her face. His body was stiff and his expression cold.
“She took a bullet for you?” Herman asked, while quickly dialing for an ambulance on his phone.
Suddenly, Seraphina in Leandro’s arms made a sound, “Ugh…”
Leandro looked down. Seraphina slowly opened her eyes, but the pain was clearly etched on her face, “It hurts so much…”
Herman leaned over to her, concern filling his voice. “Where are you hurt? Can you feel anything?”
“It hurts…” Seraphina managed to wheeze out before continuing, “Why does it hurt so much even with a bulletproof vest on…”
Upon hearing the words “bulletproof vest“, Leandro quickly unbuttoned her shirt to reveal the vest. His hand reached around to her back, feeling for something, and pulled out a bullet.
There was no blood, which meant the bullet didn’t penetrate the vest.
Herman watched in surprise, throwing Seraphina a perplexed look.
This lady was full of surprises. Who would’ve thought she was wearing a bulletproof vest?
Leandro silently looked at the bullet in his hand for a moment before finally shifting his gaze to Seraphina.
Seraphina was still gasping for breath, looking at Leandro with a forced smile. “Mr. Reynolds, were you actually planning to take a bullet for me just now? Am I really worth it to you?”
Hearing this, Leandro abruptly pushed Seraphina away, got up, dusted off his clothes with a cold expression, and walked towards his villa.
“Ouch…” Seraphina cried out in pain, still lying on the ground.
Edgar and Victor hesitated before stepping out of the house. As they headed towards the scene, Leandro simply walked past them and into his villa.
“Stay back” Herman warned while on the phone, “Don’t mess up the crime scene.”
Looking at Seraphina still on the ground, Edgar couldn’t help but raise an eyebrow, “This is a bit too dramatic…”
Meanwhile, Leandro went inside, removed his dark suit jacket, revealing his white shirt underneath.
The red mark on his arm was particularly noticeable.
Seeing him, Karan, who had come downstairs, was startled and immediately asked, “What happened? What was that sound just now? Gunshots? Were you hit?‘
“It’s just a graze Leandro replied, “There was a bit of trouble next door. Stay home and take care of Valerio, don’t worry about anything else.”
Ten minutes later, police cars and ambulances arrived at the scene.
Balch, who was critically injured, was rushed into the first ambulance. Shortly after, Seraphina was lifted i
into the second one.
In that moment, Seraphina spotted Leandro. He was looking clean and well–dressed in a fresh outfit, but his face was cold.
He seemed to be looking at her too, but he was too far away for her to see his eyes clearly.
Seraphina couldn’t help but remember the pair of eyes she saw when she woke up.
She had taken a bullet for him, but his eyes were so cold….
