Chapter 282
Seraphina reckoned, she and Leandro probably had a pretty clear idea of what each other wasthinking.
He decided to quit smoking because he wanted a kid, but she didn’t.
He respected her choice, but he might still be a bit pissed off, which made her feel tired that night.
The next day, Seraphina was supposed to accompany Conway Reynolds to the hospital for a check-up, but she didn’t get up when it was
time.
In the end, it was the housemaid who woke her up with a knock on the door. She dragged herself out ofthe bed and into the bathroom.
The maid tidied up her room a bit. When she finally came downstairs, Conway was all set to go andwas waiting for her on the couch.
“She just got up,” the maid told Conway, “She must have been exhausted last night.”
Conway just chuckled, “Looks like I might get a chance to see Leandro’s kid after all, huh?”
The maid hesitated before shaking her head, “I don’t think so.”
She then shook the trash bag she had just cleaned out from Seraphina’s room.
Conway understood right away and sighed heavily.
When Seraphina finally got ready and came downstairs, it was already half an hour later.
The moment she reached the bottom of the stairs and affectionately took Conway’s hand, she got awhack on the leg with a walking stick.
“Ouch.” She immediately covered her leg and looked at Conway, “Grandpa, what the heck? I was just alittle late.”
Conway grunted and left the house without asking her anything.
Seraphina’s plan wasn’t just to accompany Conway to the hospital. Since Maddox happened to be inthe same hospital, she planned to
check on him too.
Once at the hospital, all of Conway’s affairs were arranged by Lorenzo Reynolds. Seraphina took theopportunity to sneak into the ICU.
The good thing about a private hospital is the privacy, but for a reporter, it’s not so great.
As soon as Seraphina got upstairs and was about to enter the ward, she was stopped.
A cop was standing guard at the entrance of Maddox’s room.
Seraphina wanted to get close but couldn’t. Just when she was thinking what to do, Herman Garciahappened to walk towards the room from another direction.
“Herman!” She called out to him immediately.
Upon seeing her, Herman frowned slightly and then allowed her to come over.
She finally got close and looked into the room through the small window on the door.
Maddox was covered in medical tubes and seemed to be still unconscious.
“How’s he doing?” She asked Herman.
Herman crossed his arms and said slowly, “I’ve just spoken to the doctor. His condition is stable fornow. If there are no complications, he should wake up soon.”novelbin
Listening to Herman, she couldn’t help but grit her teeth, “Can you let me know when he wakes up? Iwant to come see him.”
“No way.” Herman Jooked at her again, “He’s under close surveillance. It’s already against the rules tolet you see him now.”
Seraphina was pissed at his habit of using and then discarding others, “Don’t forget who helped youfind out his information!”
Herman gave her a glance and said, “And don’t you forget, if I were to strictly follow the rules, I wouldhave taken you to the police station for questioning a long time ago.”
“Question me about what?”
“You know their identities, you had conflicts with them, and they’re getting into accidents one afteranother. What do you think I’ll ask you?” Herman said.
Hearing this, she couldn’t help but snort, “You finally figured it out. Yes, I’m the culprit.”
Herman rolled his eyes and decided to ignore her.
“The culprit could also be Leandro.” She said, “After all, he spoils me and does whatever I say!”
Herman couldn’t help but facepalm, “Can you please stop making things worse?”
“Why do you look down on me so much?” She said, “The most unlikely scenario often turns out to bethe truth.”
“Alright, detective, I get your point.” Herman said, “You should leave now. It’s not good if people seeyou around here.”
She huffed, took another look into the room, and then turned to leave.
She went downstairs. Conway’s check-ups were being carried out smoothly. Since she had nothing todo, she sat in Lorenzo’s office and waited patiently.
Again, the advantage of a private hospital shone through. Despite Lorenzo being a young doctor, hisoffice was spacious and comfortable, with windows overlooking the central garden.
Only two or three people were resting on the benches in the garden. As she was about to look away,something caught her eye.
She looked back at the garden and saw a white skirt swaying behind a big tree, as if someone washiding there.
She watched the tree for a while. After some time, a head finally emerged from behind it.
It was a teenage girl with long hair in a white dress. She was looking at the window where Seraphinawas.
When their eyes met, the girl seemed to get scared and quickly hid behind the tree again.
Seraphina couldn’t help but look in that direction a few more times.
But the girl never showed her face again.
Soon, Conway finished all his check-ups and returned to the office with Lorenzo. Seraphina was stillstanding by the window looking
out.
“Sera.” Conway noticed she was still standing there, “What are you looking at?”
Only then did she turn around and look at Lorenzo, “Lory, is there something off about your hospital?”
Lorenzo glanced at her and looked out the window as well.
Just then, the girl in white popped her head out again, exchanged a glance with Lorenzo, then quicklyretreated, even pulling her skirt back out of sight.
Lorenzo averted his eyes, closed the blinds, and finally sat down to discuss his current health conditionwith Conway.
He said Conway’s health had improved significantly since before.
“I knew it.” Seraphina eagerly reached out to hold Conway’s hand, “You’ll live a long and healthy life.”
Conway sighed, “I’m worried that even though I’ll live long and healthy, I still won’t live long enough tosee you and Leandro’s child.”
“You will!” Seraphina immediately said, “I’ll get right on it when I get home!”
Lorenzo, listening to her unabashed words, slightly frowned, while Conway reached out and pinchedher face.
When Lorenzo walk the two out of the hospital, Seraphina saw the girl in white again – this time shewas by a pillar of the hospital building, cautiously peering this way.
Seraphina and Lorenzo both saw her at the same time, and Seraphina finally couldn’t help but ask, “Doyou know her?”
Lorenzo shook his head blankly.
So Seraphina simply commented, “Either she’s up to something fishy, or she’s got a problem.”
Lorenzo slightly frowned and then abruptly closed the car door for her.
The news today was generally good, Seraphina was in a good mood and didn’t want to fuss with him.
In the afternoon, Seraphina was happily learning to make apple pie with the maid when she suddenlyreceived a call from Herman.
She initially thought Herman was going to tell her Maddox had woken up and was even preparing to goupstairs to change clothes, but when she clearly heard Herman’s voice on the phone, she froze on thespot.
Herman said, “Maddox didn’t wake up. He passed away.”
