Tangled in his Obsession novel Chapter 299

At first, Seraphina just wanted to retreat to her room for a relaxing shower, but she didn't expect to be caught up in this drama of people fighting for her attention.

She could only blame her own impulsive actions for hurting the little guy's feelings.

With Valerio still sick, she had no choice but to comfort him.

So, Valerio got a free pass from school that day, sticking to Seraphina like a shadow.

When Seraphina decided to visit Herman in the hospital, Valerio naturally tagged along.

Herman, after all, was a man from a well known family, and when something happened to him, he was able to hide it at first, but by the second day, there was no way hiding it. So when Seraphina arrived at the hospital, Herman's room was buzzing with activity.

She was familiar with most of the Garcia family elders, so when she entered Herman's room with Valerio, they immediately drew everyone's attention.

With all the elders fussing over Herman, Seraphina had no chance for a casual chat with him, and could only communicate with him through glances.

Herman shrugged helplessly in response.

Seraphina shot him a glare, then resigned herself to making small talk with the elders who had come to visit.

Valerio obediently stayed by Seraphina's side, doing whatever she told him to do. His good behavior attracted the admiration of the Garcia elders, who even started nudging Herman to tie the knot.

This prompted Herman to glare at Seraphina.

Just as the two were locked in a staring contest, the door to the room was suddenly pushed open again. A man in his fifties, dressed in a crisp suit and gold-rimmed glasses, with a gentle gaze and kind smile, walked in.

The atmosphere in the room seemed to cool down instantly at his arrival.

Seraphina looked up to see a somewhat familiar face.

If she remembered correctly, this man was Simon Martin from the Martin family.

In Riverside Haven, everyone was aware of the Martin family's notorious past, but over the years they had gradually cleaned up their act, thanks in no small part to the seemingly kind but crafty Simon.

But a family like the Garcias would never associate with the Martins.

Yet, here was Simon, suddenly appearing in Herman's hospital room. The Garcias were perplexed, but Herman and Seraphina knew what was going on.

Though Herman was injured because of Naylor, they knew exactly who was behind Naylor.

Naylor's crime syndicate seemed to take on any job, but most of their cases were related to the Martin Group.

So, Naylor was definitely connected to the Martin Group, and it was very likely that he was taking direct orders from them, with other business ventures merely a front to benefit others in the group.

And now, with Simon personally visiting Herman, it confirmed their suspicions even more.

Baillie Garcia, who was of the same generation as Simon, quickly stood up to welcome him, "Mr. Martin, hello."

"Hello, Mr. Garcia," Simon smiled, shaking hands with him. "I heard Herman was injured and hospitalized while I was in the hospital for other matters, so I thought I'd drop by."

After finishing his sentence, Simon walked over to Herman's bed to inquire about his condition.

Herman, always careful in his words and actions, and this time was no exception. He was meticulous in his answers.
