Tangled in his Obsession novel Chapter 188

In this world, time had the ability to water down everything.

No matter how deep or heavy the pain was, given enough time, it'll eventually heal.

But what if she hid this pain?

Never talked about it, never shew it to anyone, and even pretended to forget it herself.

This kind of wound will never heal. One day, when it openedup again, it’ll still be bloody and getting deeper.

Just like right now.

Sandra once said that when Betty passed away, she barely cried, as if she weren’t that sad.

But how could she possibly not be sad?

She was just too afraid to be sad.

"Betty wouldn't blame you." Leandro whispered, "If she were to blame anyone, it would be me."

Seraphina was crying uncontrollably, as if she couldn't hear his words.

"Give me Betty's old photos." Leandro said.

Those pains and sorrows she dared not face, he's willing to bear for her.

Even though he knew some pain cannot be shared, it's still better for two people to suffer than one.

Seraphina's emotions didn't calm down for a long time.

It's been a long time since she had such a breakdown, and this time, it was in front of Leandro.

She could bear it, but ever since she returned to Sunburst City, Betty's matter kept coming up again and again, making her unable to find peace in another world.

The guilt in her heart finally had nowhere to hide.

This was originally none of his business, but he said he was the child's father.

Betty was only three years old when she passed away, and if not specifically mentioned, she couldn't really understand the meaning of parents.

But Betty had playmates living in the same apartment; her playmates had dads and moms, so the little guy would occasionally ask her, "Mom, where is my dad? Why do my friends have both a mom and a dad, but I only have a mom?"

Her curious dad, was him.

Seraphina gave Leandro a cloud disk account, where all traces of Betty's past were stored—traces she dared not look back on.

Leandro went to the video room alone, while Seraphina sat alone in his office, lost in thought for a long time.

She didn't know how long Leandro was gone until Yasmina cautiously came in, changed her cup of ice water, and then whispered to her: "Ms. Bennett, it's almost two o'clock; you haven't eaten anything; would you like me to order something for you?"

Seraphina shook her head.

Yasmina hesitated for a moment, then said again: "Mr. Reynolds instructed me not to be disturbed when he went to the video room. He's sick and has been working for several days in a row; we're all worried Mr. Reynolds won't be able to handle it."

Seraphina didn't answer her.

Seeing her expression, Yasmina didn't know what else to say, so she quietly left.

After sitting for a while, Seraphina slowly stood up and left the office.

The Reynolds Group specially allocated a floor as an employee recreation area with six video rooms, all like cinemas.

Seraphina pushed open the doors of the first five video rooms; all were empty.

She stood at the door of the sixth room for a long time, then finally gently pushed it open.

As soon as the door was slightly opened, she heard familiar laughter.
