Tangled in his Obsession novel Chapter 156

Upon hearing this, Conway said, "I can ignore other stuff, but your matters, I gotta care... Over the years, I've let many things slide, but only you and Leandro's matters, they won't let me be."

Hearing this, Seraphina, although she knew Conway was intentionally leading the conversation, couldn't help but hold him tightly, "Grandpa..."

"Forget it, forget it." Conway said, "If you don't wanna hear it, then I won't say it."

As Conway spoke, he closed his eyes.

Seraphina could tell something was off with his color. Remembering he needed rest, she quickly suggested, "Grandpa, if you're tired, please take a nap. Valerio and I will be right here."

"He rarely gets a break," Conway responded, "He probably wants to spend time with you. Don't stay on my account. Take him out for a walk and come back later in the afternoon."

Seraphina glanced at Valerio. Although he was always obedient, his eyes lit up with excitement upon hearing Conway's suggestion.

Feeling a bit cornered, Seraphina waited. Once Conway was asleep, she quietly left the ward with Valerio.

They got to the hospital entrance, the driver just happened to drive the car over, Seraphina opened the car door to let Valerio in, but as soon as she got in, she smelled smoke.

Something seemed off with the driver. As she peered closer, her expression shifted sharply. The man in the driver's seat wasn't their previous driver!

Before Seraphina could process this shock, another man appeared from the passenger side, putting her in a car with two unfamiliar faces.

She instinctively reached for the car door, but it was locked tight. Neither doors nor windows would budge. Taking a deep breath, she pulled Valerio close and studied the men up front. Both had their faces concealed with hats and masks, making identification impossible.

"What do you guys want?" Seraphina asked.

"Just wanted to invite Ms. Bennett and Valerio over to our place." The passenger turned his head to look at Seraphina, his voice was low, "No need to panic, Ms. Bennett."

Seraphina coldly looked at them while glancing at the car window—wondering how likely it would be for her to kick the window open and throw Valerio out?

As she was thinking this, the car suddenly came to a screeching halt, Seraphina looked up, there were suddenly two more cars in front, blocking their path!

Seraphina saw that one of the cars contained a person that looked like Abbot whom she had met before!

Just now, she was facing two against one in the car, but now, more than one person was on her side.

Thinking of this, while the two men in front were distracted, Seraphina quickly lunged forward, swiftly hit the central lock, and shouted, "Valerio, open the door and get out! Quick!"

Valerio had already reacted when they were talking with the two men, when Seraphina called him, he decisively opened the car door and turned to pull Seraphina out.

However, half of Seraphina's body was still in the front seat and couldn't get back in time, Valerio was obviously hesitating, Seraphina gave him a strong kick and kicked him out of the car!

Just as Valerio hit the ground, the people from Abbot's car quickly got out and rushed over here.

Seeing this, the passenger immediately grabbed Seraphina, jumped to the back seat, held her down, and closed the car door at the same time.

The car quickly reversed, after a few adjustments, successfully shook off the two cars behind, and quickly drove in the opposite direction.

Seraphina didn't know if Abbot's two cars could catch up and save her, but now that Valerio was not in the car, she felt completely relieved.

"Let go of me!" She glared at the man next to her.

Seeing her look, the man involuntarily let go of his hand, but he quickly reacted, his hands still around Seraphina, ready to prevent her from resisting again at any time.

"Don't worry, I won't resist if I'm not sure I can." Seraphina tidied her hair and clothes, and calmly asked, "Who are you guys after? What do you want?"

The man looked at her, was stunned for a moment, then suddenly started laughing.

......

When Keen received Abbot's call, he was so scared that he almost dropped his phone, he immediately rushed to Leandro's office.

Leandro, engrossed in a phone call by the window, turned sharply at a sound to find Keen, whose face drained of color. Without waiting for Keen to speak, Leandro asked, "What's wrong?"

"It's Ms. Bennett," Keen stammered, pale. "Abbot called. They took her. We tried... but we couldn't stop them."

The weight of the news hung heavy. Leandro immediately ended his call, his face hardening with concern.

Thirty minutes later, he arrived at the hospital to find Valerio. The boy had been tossed out of the car by Seraphina. Cuts and bruises marked his limbs, now cleaned and bandaged by the medical staff. Remarkably, Valerio had been brave, showing no sign of pain or distress. But the moment he saw Leandro, his small face crumpled with worry and fear. Without a word, he rushed into Leandro's protective embrace.

Leandro held him with one arm and turned to look at the doctor.

"He's fine." The doctor answered, "No head injury, no concussion, just some scrapes on his hands and feet, he may be a bit shocked."
