This question kept bouncing around in Seraphina's head. Just as she was about to blurt it out, she suddenly turned her head away and held her tongue.
Leandro had a deep look in his eyes. After a while, he calmly asked, "Did you have something you wanted to ask me?"
Seraphina stayed silent for a moment, then slowly shook her head.
She averted her gaze, no longer looking at Leandro, and didn't utter another word.
Seeing her reaction, Leandro didn't continue the conversation either.
The car journeyed back to Reynolds Manor. Seraphina got out and went in, while Leandro stayed put in the car.
Seraphina looked back at him, "Are you heading back to the hospital?"
"Yeah." Leandro replied.
Seraphina simply smiled faintly, "Go ahead then, be with your mother. I'll take care of Grandpa and Valerio."
Hearing her indifferent tone, Leandro took another look at her before slowly nodding and telling the driver to head to the hospital.
Seraphina stood at the doorway, watching his car pull away.
As the car gradually moved away from the main gate, Leandro looked at Seraphina's retreating figure in the rear-view mirror, his gaze growing even more intense.
Leandro's car left the estate, but Seraphina remained stationary at the entrance.
It was only when Conway Reynolds came out of the house and called out to her, "Sera."
"Grandpa." Seraphina finally turned her head.
Conway frowned slightly, asking cautiously, "How is she doing?"
"She's out of danger." Seraphina said, "But she'll likely need time to recover."
Hearing this, Conway closed his eyes and let out a long sigh.
Seraphina turned around and helped Conway into the house, then said, "Don't worry too much, Grandpa. She’ll figure it out one day.."
Conway sighed once more, "I’m afraid that’ll be hard..."
Seraphina stayed silent for a while, not picking up the conversation.
Conway sat quietly for a moment, then looked at her again, "Are you scared?"
"Scared? Me?" Seraphina chuckled, "You know me, Grandpa. I don't scare easy."
With that, she suddenly stood up, "Grandpa, I have to head out for a bit. You rest up and stop worrying, alright?"
Hearing this, Conway gave her a long, hard look, "What's going on? Are you guys hiding something from me?"
"If we told you about Gloria, what else could we possibly hide?" Seraphina said, "Don't overthink it."
After reassuring Conway, Seraphina headed out to Reynolds Vista Retreat.
