Tangled in his Obsession novel Chapter 283

Seraphina doubted her own ears for a moment.

"Come again," she said to Herman.

Herman, too, seemed reluctant to accept the fact. After a while, he repeated, "Maddox is dead."

Seraphina blurted out an expletive, unable to control herself.

"He's dead?" She was nearly out of control, "You told me this morning that he would wake up soon, now you're telling me he's dead. How did he die? How could he just drop dead like that?"

Herman lit a cigarette on the other end of the phone, and after a while, he said, "His injuries were severe... what's so surprising about him dying?"

Seraphina hung up the phone in anger.

She hadn't lost her cool in a long time, but the news of Maddox's death had indeed struck a nerve. She was completely dazed for a moment.

On the other end of the phone, Herman stood at the end of the hospital hallway, a cigarette in his hand, silently staring into the distance.

Knowing she was not in a stable state of mind and not wanting to affect the people at home, Seraphina quickly returned to her room and paced back and forth in her bedroom.

Maddox's injuries were indeed severe, and sudden death was possible under such circumstances. But when she was about to find out the identity of the fourth member of their criminal team, he suddenly died. Wasn't that strange?

Thinking about this, Seraphina suddenly stopped pacing, and after a while, she changed her clothes and went straight to the hospital.

When she arrived at the hospital, Herman hadn't left.

Even though Maddox had been declared dead and his body had been taken away, Herman was still standing at the door of his room, quietly looking at the empty bed.

Seraphina walked up and nudged him.

It seemed to bring Herman back to his senses. He turned to look at her, and after a while, he found his voice and said, "What are you doing here?"

"I couldn't explain everything over the phone," Seraphina said, "I just want to know, why did Maddox suddenly die? Did he have any complications? Or did a part of his body suddenly mutate?"

Herman was silent for a while before answering, "We'll have to wait for the autopsy results to know the exact cause."

"What if he didn't die suddenly because of his severe injuries?" Seraphina asked.

Herman suddenly glanced at her, "What are you getting at?"

Seraphina was firm, "He was murdered again."

Herman immediately looked away, "How is that possible? How many people do you think knew he was still alive?"

"Yeah," Seraphina looked at him, "You would know best how many people knew. So, who among them came here? Who entered this room?"

"We've had people guarding the door of the room at all times." Herman's voice was hoarse and his eyebrows were furrowed, "Do you think someone could have done it under our watch?"

Looking at Herman's tired and angry face, Seraphina suddenly seemed to realize something, "You already have a suspect in mind, don't you?"

Herman's eyes suddenly became tense. He looked away and replied somewhat rudely, "No!"
