Seraphina had just left the Wilsons. As soon as she got into her car, she saw Farrah approaching her from a short distance away. Farrah stopped in her tracks upon seeing her, and then quickly ran over, "Seraphina!"
Sitting in her car, Seraphina just glanced at Farrah and then drove off quickly.
Farrah was left hanging, fuming, she chucked her purse at the car Seraphina was driving away in.
Regaining her composure, Farrah quickly headed home. As soon as she walked in the living room, she saw Nadine sitting on the couch, clutching her chest, looking in pain.
"Grandma!" Farrah rushed over, "What's wrong? Chest discomfort? Did Seraphina piss you off?"
After a moment, Nadine reached out her hand to hold her and said slowly: "We have to find a way to save your dad—"
"I know, I know..." Farrah nodded repeatedly, thinking of the recent events, she bit her lip.
After leaving the Wilson family, Seraphina went to the Adams family.
She used to meet Cooper frequently, so the Adams family was familiar with her and let her in directly, leading her to Cooper's room.
Cooper was reading by the window. Hearing the noise, he looked up and saw Seraphina.
Outside the window were a few maple trees. Against the fiery red Sandra, Seraphina stood in the corridor smiling at him.
She was always charming, as was her smile. But at this moment, Cooper thought he saw a hint of fatigue in her eyes.
He was suddenly reminded of the first time he met her.
It was probably four years ago when he had just graduated and was heading back to school to handle some things. He was walking while looking at his phone and bumped into her.
The main road of the university was lush with trees, casting dappled lights and shadows. She looked up and smiled at him, the sadness in her eyes quickly disappearing in her smile.
He always remembered that smile. He wanted to ask her what was bothering her, but never got the chance.
Coming back to his senses, Cooper smiled back at Seraphina outside the window.
Seraphina came in and sat on his couch, "I came uninvited, hope I'm not disturbing you."
"Of course not," said Cooper, "I'm always happy to have you here. When did you get back?"
"Just now." Seraphina said, "I went to see the old lady of the Wilson family, then I came to see you."
Cooper seemed to sense something, "Something happened?"
"I exposed some of SAM's underhanded dealings, and now Parker has been taken away for questioning."
Cooper was a bit surprised, then laughed, "That sounds like something you'd do."
Seraphina looked at him, "I chose to be with you again of my own free will. But I don't like being threatened, nor do I like being victimized."
Although Seraphina never mentioned the real reason why she appeared at the Adams family, Cooper had guessed more or less. Now that Seraphina said this, it confirmed his guess. He wasn't surprised, just a bit heartbroken.
"Is there anything I can do to help?" Cooper asked.
"Nothing." Seraphina replied with a smile, "I can handle this myself, no need to bother you."
After hearing this, Cooper pondered for a moment before saying, "Sera, I really hope I could do something for you."
"Don't worry, if I need help, I'll definitely come to you." Seraphina said and continued, "Actually, I came today to tell you about the musical. I might not be able to go with you."
