Tangled in his Obsession novel Chapter 153

Conway lifted his hand and gently touched Seraphina's nose and eyes, then said, "Stop your crying, you silly girl."

Just for a moment, Seraphina's tears seemed about to fall, but she held them back. She closed her eyes, and when she opened them again, her tears had stopped.

"I’m fine now," Seraphina looked at Conway. "As long as you're healthy, I wouldn't cry."

Conway gave a small smile. "Alright, I'll stay healthy."

Hearing this, Seraphina buried her head in Conway's arm again, staying silent.

Conway watched her, then lifted his head to look at Leandro, who was sitting at the foot of the bed.

Leandro's gaze remained fixed on Seraphina, cold as ice.

Seeing this, Conway said, "Go wash your face. You've been crying so much, your makeup is all over the place."

Seraphina lifted her head to look at Conway, touched her face, then got up and left the room.

Conway turned to Leandro, but found that Leandro's gaze was still fixed on Seraphina.

Conway sighed inwardly, then said, "Come here."

Leandro tore his gaze away from Seraphina, looked at Conway, then walked over and sat down by the bed. "What do you want to say?"

"I want to know what you're thinking."

"Grandpa, what are you referring to?" Leandro countered.

Conway sighed slowly, then said, "I don't have much time left, you can't make me spend the rest of it worrying about you."

Leandro looked at Conway quietly, not saying a word.

"Just now... you saw how Sera was acting," Conway sighed again. "Do you still have doubts? She might have changed, but she's still Seraphina. A person's nature doesn't change."

"How do you know I have doubts?" Leandro spoke slowly.

"If you didn't have doubts, why are you guys still stuck in the same place with your personality?" Conway asked. "Even if she has truly changed, no matter what she becomes, you have to accept her, understand her. Because if it weren't for you insisting on her leaving, she wouldn't be like this now. She has lost everything, I don't want to be her only reliance... knowing that you will take good care of her even after I am gone, will put me at ease."

Leandro looked at Conway calmly. "You just want me to make my stance clear, so why use such words to pressure me? You know I won't be influenced by such words."

Hearing this, Conway gave him a helpless look.

Not long after, Seraphina returned to the room, obviously having freshened up, looking like her usual self.

Conway looked at Leandro again. " go tell the driver to get the car ready. I want to have a few words alone with Sera, then you guys can go home and rest."

Leandro got up to leave, but stopped at the door. He said to Conway, "I've let Lacy go. I've already found a new secretary and caregiver to take care of you. If there are any issues, they'll call me directly."

Upon hearing this, Conway furrowed his brow. "Why did you let Lacy go? My fall was my own fault, not his."

"Because he didn't fulfill his duties," Leandro said. "You don't need to worry about these things. I'll take care of everything."

Conway couldn't counter his decision, nor did he have the energy to say much else. He just closed his eyes and said, "Alright, you can go now."

Leandro got up again, his gaze falling on Seraphina. But she didn't look at him, instead she walked over to the bed and looked at Conway. "Grandpa, do you have something to tell me?"

Leandro turned and left the room.

Conway watched Leandro's retreating figure, then sighed and reached out to grasp Seraphina's hand. "Can you promise me something?"

Seraphina had calmed her emotions and her thoughts were clear. Upon hearing this, she immediately became alert and asked, "promise you what?"

"Can you... take good care of Leandro and Valerio?"

Seraphina gave a light laugh and said, "That's something I can't do."

"But I only trust you to do this."

Seraphina sighed with a smile, then said, "How about this, I'll help Valerio find his mother, and let his biological mother do this. That should be most appropriate, right?"

Conway stared at her, "Can't you just consider yourself as Valerio's mother?"

Seraphina, with a smile on her face, answered: "No."

Conway suddenly started coughing. Seraphina was startled and tightly held his hand, soothing his chest to comfort him, "Grandpa, don't get agitated, take it easy..."

After a while, Conway calmed down, then said: "Leandro has been under the pressure of the Reynolds family for years, he's become cold... Ever since I handed the Reynolds family business to him, I've never seen him smile... Sometimes, I wonder, was it the right decision to give him the Reynolds family business?"

"I think he quite enjoys this life," Seraphina replied. "So, you don't need to blame yourself."

Conway looked at her and slowly shook his head.
