Ever since she went public with her relationship with Leandro, Seraphina found herself constantly pursued by eager paparazzi. While her day-to-day life remained largely unchanged, the one significantly affected was Valerio.
In an effort to shield him from the relentless media glare, Seraphina had to relinquish her role as his chauffeur. Naturally, Valerio was displeased. However, such was Seraphina's influence over him that a few comforting words from her would melt away any of his reservations. And so, after a heartfelt conversation, he begrudgingly accepted the change.
Despite the adjustments, Seraphina's priorities remained. She found herself continually shuttling between the hospital and her apartment, ensuring that she was present as much as possible for Conway.
One day, as Seraphina was at the hospital entrance, she caught a glimpse of a familiar figure out of the corner of her eye. But when she tried to get a better look, the figure had vanished.
Seraphina paused and then walked into the security room.
Not two minutes after she entered the security room, the familiar figure appeared again at the hospital entrance, constantly peeping into the hospital.
Caught in the act, he suddenly saw Seraphina in the security room. She was standing with her arms folded, watching him with amusement through the glass.
Terrell couldn't help but frown.
Finally, Seraphina came out of the security room and stood in front of Terrell. "What are you looking for? Need my help?"
Terrell glanced at her. "You should be busy these days, I don't want to disturb you."
"I'm not busy, I have time." Seraphina quickly said. "Just tell me what you're looking for. Maybe I can help. Unless it's about me, what can't you tell me?"
Terrell glared at her and finally said, "I'm investigating a case where a doctor has been abusing his patients for a long time. How can you help?"
Seraphina perked up. "The best way to investigate such cases is to have someone lure the suspect out. How could you not ask for my help? Don't I have the capability?"
Terrell looked at her and rolled his eyes. "You would have been perfect, but now the whole world knows you're Leandro's woman. Who would dare to touch you?"
Seraphina's spirits dampened by half. She sighed, then looked at him again. "You're not working in the entertainment industry anymore, right?"
"Yeah." Terrell grudgingly replied.
"Why?" Seraphina asked. "Isn't good working in the entertainment industry?"
"Why do you care?" Terrell replied irritably, then turned to leave.
"Hold on..." Seraphina hurriedly grabbed him. "I just want you to introduce me to some good jobs."
Terrell scoffed. "You're about to marry into the Reynolds family, and you still want to work as a reporter?"
Seraphina flicked her hair back and replied, "It's best to rely on oneself, especially for a beautiful woman..."
Ignoring her, Terrell turned and left.
Seraphina didn't bother him anymore and headed for the ward.
To her surprise, she saw another familiar figure just as she reached the entrance to the ward.
This time, Seraphina planned to pretend she hadn't seen him and walk past, but he unexpectedly reached out to stop her. "Sera."
Seraphina sighed a little helplessly when he grabbed her arm and looked at him. "Peterson Miller, what's the fun in this?"
Peterson, whom she hadn't seen for several months, seemed to have lost a lot of weight. Compared to his past glamorous image in Starhaven, he looked quite haggard now.
"I want to talk to you." Peterson said, and without waiting for her reply, he pulled Seraphina towards the cafeteria.
