Chapter 101

Because Conway had a lot of tests to ruh, he stayed overnight at the hospital that night, and it was onlynatural for Seraphina to stay with him, hoping to get to know Lorenzo better

However, Conway seemed genuinely worried that she might stir up trouble, so he kept a close eye onher Plus, Lorenzo was too busy to show up all day, so Seraphina ended up being a full–time companyfor Conway.

The next morning when Leandro came to check the report, Seraphina, the full time companion, was stilllying in the small bed in the partition

Conway had already risen for his morning regimen. As Leandro swung open the door, he was greetedby her slumbering figure, prompting him to cast a glance at Keen.

Understanding the situation, Keen promptly vacated the room

Only then did Leandro approach and peel back the blanket cocooning Seraphina

The room was comfortably cool, courtesy of the air conditioning As the blanket was lifted, she wasjolted awake by the sudden change in temperature. Her eyes futtered open to find Leandro, and shegrumbled slightly before wrapping her arms around his legs, then his waist, clinging to him like a koala

“Refrain from clinging” Leandro’s frosty voice echoed.

But Seraphina, a naturally affectionate girl, held onto him, adamant about not letting go, “I’m not fullyawake yet… Why are you here so early? Can’t we snooze a bit longer?”

Suddenly, Leandro tilted her chin upward, his gaze penetrating her half awake expression, “Should youneed me, I’ll be there for you”

Hearing this, Seraphina opened one eye to look at him, showing an expectant look, “Really?”

Leandro stared at her deeply without saying a word. The door to the roorn was suddenly pushed openagain, and Lorenzo walked in.

Catching a glimpse of Lorenzo’s figure, Seraphina instantly woke up, immediately letting go of Leandro,even quickly fixing her hair, and regained her elegant demeanor in an instant, extending her hand togreet Lorenzo, ‘Morning Lary!”

Seeing the situation between the two, Lorenzo knew he came at the wrong time. Even if there was noemotion on Leandro’s face, he still sensed something and turned to leave, “I’ll come back later.”

“No” Seraphina quickly got up from the bed and went over to stop him, “Did grandpa’s test results comeout? Let’s look at it together!”

Lorenzo was forcibly brought back, glanced at Leandro, and then handed over the report directly.“Although his old ailments are still there, his overall condition is much better than it has been in the pasttwo months Judging from grandpa’s mood these past two days, he’s been in good spirits”

As soon as he finished speaking. Lorenzo looked at Seraphina, and Leandro lifted his eyes to glance atSeraphina as well

Seraphina was not modest. She patted her chest and said to Lorenzo with a smile, “This is my doing,compliment me!”

“I must say Ms. Bennett deserves a lot of credit” Lorenzo said, “If possible, I hope you can spend moretime with grandpa

Seraphina couldn’t help but laugh, “Actually, if you want to see more of me, you don’t have to beataround the bush!”

After hearing this, there was no expression on Lorenzo’s face, but he glanced at Leandro

Because of his background, he was not close to Leandro. Most of the time their relationship was morelike that of a doctor and a patient’s family, and their conversations revolved around their grandfather’scondition. So he didn’t know Leandro very well. But even without knowing him well, he could stillunderstand a person’s character through daily interactions

So he was a bit puzzled at this moment. How could Leandro tolerate a woman like Seraphina?

Seraphina noticed his gaze and also looked at Leandro, she smirked and said. “Of course I’m willing tospend more time with grandpa, but whether I can actually do it or not. That’s not for me to decide…”

Seeing this, Lorenzo didn’t stay any longer, “I have to make my rounds in the ward, I’ll leave first.”

Seraphina waved goodbye to him reluctantly, then sat next to Leandro, “Your brother seems to like mequite a bit, huh? We haven’t known each other for long and he’s already suggesting that stay”

Leandro focused on the report in his hand and ignored her.

Seraphina looked up at him, “Even if it’s to take care of grandpa, Mr. Reynolds, you have no intentionof letting me stay, right?”

Leandro closed the report in his hand and looked at her, “Don’t say such contrived things, and don’talways do weird things. It’s no use to me!

“Alright then Seraphina shrugged, “If that’s the case, I won’t insist, I won’t bother you anymore, okay?”

After saying this, she gathered her expression, pushed him away, and then walked into the bathroom.

Leandro put down the report in his hand, got up and left.

At noon, Seraphina took an hour to do an interview arranged by Bruce

Though the interview was brief, the issues addressed were of significance, marking Seraphina’s firstresponses. Consequently, the media promptly edited and aired the interview footage at eight o’clockthat evening

Simultaneously, within the Reynolds Group, employees still engaged in overtime were just commencingtheir dinner.

Yasmina, stationed at her desk, sighed at her monotonous bento box. Upon stumbling uponSeraphina’s interview video, she instantly brightened, beckoning Keen to join her in watching it

In the footage, the reporter posed a question to Seraphina, “So, all the headline–grabbing newssurrounding you and Balch was simply a part of your investigative process,

correct?‘

Seraphina offered the camera a composed smile, “Truthfully, you don’t require my affirmation for this.All I can express is my respect for and dedication to my profession.” The reporter then inquired, “So,has your investigation into this case influenced your relationship with Mr. Reynolds in any way? Afterall, your investigation involved substantial risks, resulting in a considerable societal uproar

In the video, Seraphina’s face suddenly livened up “About that, I need to clear the air. First off, I gottaapologize to Mr Reynolds, cause this whole thing has been casting a pretty dark cloud over him and hiscompany, secondly, I gotta give a big thanks to Mr. Reynolds for his understanding and support. Duringmy investigation, the guy really had my back, lastly, for the record, I’m still flying solo

“That’s just one of the ways Mr. Reynolds supported me. Seraphina replied with a smile, “Fact is, I’vegrown up with the Reynolds family. To me, Mr. Reynolds is like a big brother. Knowing about my

investigation, Mr. Reynolds backed me up without any reservations, and protected me in this way. He’sreally been a stand–up bro So here, I gotta express my gratitude, thank you, my dear brother!”

Seraphina winked and smiled at the camera, leaving Yasmina completely stunned in front of thescreen.

“Brother?” Yasmina turned to Keen, “You buyin‘ what she’s selling?”

Seeing Seraphina gave Keen a headache, “None of my business, no comment.”

Yasmina remembered what she saw in Leandro’s office that day and sneered, “As if I’d ever believeher!”
