Tangled in his Obsession novel Chapter 361

"I've made up my mind." Seraphina lifted her chin slightly, her gaze steady and solid. "But I don't know if it's the right decision."

Karan was silent for a moment, her eyes lowered, avoiding Seraphina’s gaze.

But Seraphina stood there, patiently waiting for her response.

After a while, she finally heard Karan’s voice.

"I know you’ve had it rough these years," Karan said. "But it’s all in the past now. You and Leandro have patched things up, and he's making up for all the wrongs you've been through. Why can't you just let bygones be bygones?"

Hearing this, Seraphina was silent for a moment, then finally burst into laughter.

All these years, every time Vivian came up, she was always tagged as a "murderer."

Although Leandro had said he believed her before, he never revealed more.

And now, finally, someone acknowledged the injustice she faced.

At this moment, Seraphina felt a sense of relief from the guilt she’d carried for eight years.

But there was no joy or excitement in her heart. She didn't even know why she was laughing.

Soon, Seraphina stopped laughing, said nothing more, and walked past Karan, leaving the place.

Karan didn't stop her. After a moment of silence, she took a deep breath and began packing the stuff Gloria needed for her hospital stay.

When she got back to the hospital with the stuff, Leandro was at Gloria's bedside, looking down at some documents.

Karan knew Leandro’s habits well as she’d taken care of him for a long time. So, she could tell from the speed Leandro was flipping through the documents that his mind wasn’t really on them.

Karan walked over, put her stuff aside, looked at Gloria and asked quietly, "Is she asleep again?"

"Yes." Leandro replied without lifting his head.

Karan sighed softly, dipped a cotton swab in some water, and gently applied it to Gloria’s lips.

"Has your father still not come yet?"

"Nope." Leandro answered with just one word.

"Seraphina went to your house earlier." Karan said casually as she repeated her actions.

Hearing this, Leandro finally lifted his head, his gaze falling heavily on her.

Karan tossed away the cotton swab, paused for a moment, then turned to look at him. "She went to question Aggie about whether your mother was on the balcony the day Vivian jumped off the building. That woman is so smart. Aggie was no match for her and spilled the beans when she got scared."

Leandro listened quietly, then slowly closed his eyes.

She had guessed it.

She had suspected it from the moment she saw Leda.

On the way home, she wanted to ask him about it. But in the end, she didn’t. Instead, she chose to seek confirmation elsewhere.

"She has indeed suffered a lot over the years." Karan continued. "I don't know what decision she will make... Given your mother's current situation, what if she doesn't want to forgive your mother?"

Leandro remained silent.

"You two are so close now..." Karan said. "Maybe you should talk to her. For your sake, she might back down..."

It was a long while before Leandro finally said, "The fact that she didn't ask me, that's her backing down."

With her character, she should’ve put the question to Leandro directly, demanding an answer.

But she didn't.
