Leandro was sitting quietly, letting her lean on him.
However, less than two minutes later, Seraphina suddenly opened her eyes, staring blankly ahead.
Leandro gently held her hand.
Feeling the warmth from his palm, Seraphina seemed to remember something and slowly said, "Leandro, I heard... you were in a severe car accident before, weren't you?"
Leandro didn't expect her to bring this up. He paused for a moment and replied softly, "Yeah."
Seraphina asked again, "Were you conscious then?"
Leandro understood why she asked this all of a sudden.
He learned from Herman that the accident was very serious. The car crashed through the railing and into the river. Added to the long surgery, Sandra's condition was extremely critical.
His condition during his car accident was also very severe.
She probably asked the question hoping to find some comfort from him who had experienced a car accident.
"Yeah," Leandro answered.
Seraphina looked up at him, "What was it like? Did you feel bad? Did you have the determination to pull through?"
Leandro was silent for a moment after hearing this.
During the years she was away, he had several close calls with death, the most serious one being that car accident.
At that time, he was competing for a highly potential and controversial piece of land in Sunburst City. He teamed up with Victor and Edgar, and after several bouts, defeated the competitor supported by multiple forces. As a result, the competitor saw him as an enemy and set up an ambush on the mountain road, trying to kill him.
He never fully recalled the scene at that time, but now as he thought about it, everything was clear.
What was he thinking then?
Actually, he wasn't thinking about anything.
The violent shock hit him and his mind went blank.
On the winding mountain road, the black car rolled several times, heading straight for the cliff.
The airbags deployed instantly, trapping him within the confined driver's cabin, unable to move.
During the several rolls, he caught a glimpse of the scene below the cliff from the corner of his eye.
Maybe if he fell, that would be the end of his life.
And that moment might be the last moment of his life.
But he couldn't remember anything, as if his more than 20 years of life did not exist.
The car stopped at the edge of the cliff, he lay in the car, blood from somewhere seeping into his eyes.
All he saw was a warm red color. He saw the car that hit him earlier stopped not far away, charging towards him again—
……
When he regained consciousness, he felt like he was in a sea of noise.
Was it heaven or hell?
He thought vaguely.
Then, he heard the voices clearly and felt a sharp pain.
"Brain hemorrhage, clavicle fracture... scapular fracture... multiple rib fractures, visceral damage... left tibia fracture... has already experienced one shock... immediate surgery..."
He looked at the glaring light above his head, everything was in chaos.
This time, he remembered a lot of people and events.
His constantly quarreling parents, his brother who died early, his grandfather who handed the Reynolds Group to him, and a crying child...
Repeated scenarios, endless memories.
Lastly, he suddenly saw a young girl's face.
She was looking at him, smiling shyly and brightly.
