Because Conway had a lot of tests to run, he stayed overnight at the hospital that night, and it was only natural 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 on her. Plus, Lorenzo was too busy to show up all day, so Seraphina ended up being a full-time company for Conway.
The next morning when Leandro came to check the report, Seraphina, the full-time companion, was still lying in the small bed in the partition.
Conway had already risen for his morning regimen. As Leandro swung open the door, he was greeted by 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 was jolted awake by the sudden change in temperature. Her eyes fluttered open to find Leandro, and she grumbled 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 fully awake 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 you need 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 room was suddenly pushed open again, 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 to greet Lorenzo, "Morning, Lory!"
Seeing the situation between the two, Lorenzo knew he came at the wrong time. Even if there was no emotion 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 come out? 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 past two 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 at Seraphina 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 more time with grandpa."
Seraphina couldn't help but laugh, "Actually, if you want to see more of me, you don't have to beat around 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 more like that of a doctor and a patient's family, and their conversations revolved around their grandfather's condition. So he didn't know Leandro very well. But even without knowing him well, he could still understand a person's character through daily interactions.
So he was a bit puzzled at this moment. How could Leandro tolerate a woman like Seraphina?
