Tangled in His Obsession (Seraphina)

Chapter 99

No sooner had Leandro exited the emergency room than he was waylaid by Seraphina A glance at her

coincided with the ring of his phone, leading him to step aside for the

call

Seraphina, following his lead accompanied him to the lounge, perching next to him as he engaged in

conversation.

The hospital’s private quarters were hushed and chilly Now and then, medical staff would fit by, casting

inquisitive looks at the duo the inscrutable Leandro and the currently in focus Seraphina

Leandro’s call was conducted in German, a language foreign to Seraphina Impatience began to creep

in, her fingers toying with his collar, tapping his sleeve

Initially unfazed by her, Leandro finally reacted when her hand strayed towards his trousers, capturing it

and casting her a quick glance.

Seraphina just laughed and pointed at a crease on his leg

In fact, Leandro always maintained a dignified and serious image outside, his clothes perfectly neat,

nothing that needed her adjustment. But Seraphina couldn’t stand his serious demeanor and always

wanted to tease him.

So when Leandro grabbed her hand, Seraphina started playing with his hand, making them look even

more intimate.

Leandro kept his calm pace, talking to the person on the phone while trying to pull his hand out of hers.

But before he could even move, Seraphina suddenly let go of his hand and stood up

He looked up to see Lorenzo coming out of the emergency room.

Seraphina immediately greeted him with a smile, “Hey there.”

Lorenzo looked at her, then at Leandro, and gave a slight nod, “Hey”

“How’s my grandpa?” Seraphina pointed at the door of the emergency room, “Is it serious?”

“His condition is stable for now, but we’ll have to wait for the test results to be sure, Lorenzo replied.

“Oh.” Seraphina looked relieved, then reached out her hand to him, “Thanks, I’m Seraphina, and you

are?”

“Lorenzo Reynolds.”

At the mention of his name, Seraphina raised an eyebrow and glanced back at Leandro

Leandro was holding his phone, seemingly listening to the person on the other end, silently watching

them, his gaze cold.

“You’re a Reynolds?” Seraphina continued, “What’s your relationship with the Reynolds family… I lived

at Reynolds Manor until I was eighteen, but I’ve never seen you”

At this, Lorenzo shot Leandro another glance.

Seraphina’s eyes were darting between Lorenzo’s face

He didn’t resemble Leandro, aside from their similar thin lips that were reminiscent of Bruce Reynolds.

However, they both carried a certain aura that demanded respect. The difference was that Leandro

exuded a lofty indifference, while Lorenzo carried an academic aloofness.

“I only returned to the Reynolds family a few years ago, Lorenzo replied coolly, apparently unwilling to

discuss the matter further. “I need to arrange some health checks for grandpa, I’ll be leaving now”

Seraphina watched him turn and leave, his figure disappearing from her sight.

Leandro was positioned behind her, having ended his call unnoticed and silently observing her with the

phone still clutched in his hand.

Jolted back into reality, Seraphina quickly scooted next to him, an excited query tumbling from her lips.

“Is that your sibling? He’s exceedingly attractive. You two appear to have a good rapport, does he have

a partner?”

“To the best of my knowledge, he doesn’t, responded Leandro.

Seraphina’s eyes sparkled, “How could such a striking man, moreover a doctor, not have a partner?”

Leandro clearly had no inclination to entertain her query. Catching sight of his unresponsive gaze,

Seraphina swiftly adjusted her approach. Fiddling with his tie, she chuckled, “I was merely jesting. His

relationstup status is of no concern to me. Let’s return to Valerio- who is his mother?”

“Are you that interested? Leandro asked, “Why don’t you put your skills to good use and find out?”

Seraphina moved closer to him, “Why bother if I can get the answer from you? Just tell me, I won’t be

jealous just because you’ve had a good relationship with another

woman…”

Just as she was pestering Leandro, Keen suddenly ran in from the doorway. Seeing the two of them,

he let out a sigh of relief and asked, “Mr. Reynolds, is Mr. Conway alright?”

“Yeah” Leandro simply replied

“That’s good” said Keen, Then the meeting with the Martin Group…”

Leandro immediately stood up, “Let’s go

“Hey Seraphing was pulling at his arm while following him to the door, “You still haven’t told me about

Valerio’s background. It’s not a complicated matter, just tell me…”

Hearing het question, Keen couldn’t help but shiver and quickly lowered his head, heading towards the

car

Leandro looked down at her and spoke again, but he only said one sentence, ‘I’m not interested in

such pointless matters.”

Before Seraphina could pursue her line of questioning a vehicle abruptly halted before them. The door

swung open to reveal a stormy–faced Gloria emerging

She had spotted Leandro and Seraphina in each other’s company from within the car On exting, she

bore down upon them, delivering a stinging slap to Seraphina, “Why are you hounding my son?”

The forceful impact immediately reddened Seraphina’s delicate skin, causing her to withdraw her hand

Swiftly intervening Leandro intercepted Glona’s hand mid au, halting a second stuke with a simple

reminder, “We’re in a public place.”

Bruce then exited the vehicle, paying no heed to Gloria, and approached Seraphina ‘Sera, are you

alright?”

Seraphina, cradling her hand, maintained an innocent demeanor At Bruce’s query, she merely bowed

her head in silence

Leandro gave her a glance, then led Gloria away

Bruce spoke again: “Don’t let Gloria get to you. You know she has a temper. How’s grandpa?”

Seraphina watched Leandro leave, then cracked a smile “Grandpa’s fine, Bruce, no need to worry”

Bruce nodded, turning to see that Leandro had already helped Gloria into the car. Then Leandro got

into his own car, and the two vehicles departed one after the other.

Seraphina watched as Leandro’s car left the hospital, then turned to Bruce “Mr. Reynolds, can I ask

you a question?”

“Shool”

“How was Valerio born? She asked bluntly.

Bruce hesitated for a moment. “Your grandpa didn’t tell you?”

“No” Seraphina replied “Grandpa lied to me, said he was picked up by Leandro from the streets!”

Bruce couldn’t help but laugh at this, then clarified, “In truth, your grandpa wasn’t completely lying.

Valerio was indeed found by Leandro… but, he’s also a child of the Reynolds family”
