Seraphina yanked her hand out of Sandra's tight grip, turning around and heading for the door.
"Sera, Sera!" Sandra fell to the floor behind her, calling out to her with a hoarse voice, but Seraphina didn't look back, she just opened the door and left.
Sandra clutched at her chest, breaking down into uncontrollable sobs.
After exiting the therapy room, Seraphina immediately removed her nurse's cap and stripped off her uniform, tossing it emotionless into the trash can just outside the door.
Abbot came over quickly, taken aback by Seraphina's actions but still asked, "Ma'am, the man and woman have been temporarily restrained, would you like us to escort the lady out?"
"No need," Seraphina said, "Let those two go. They can come back and take her."
Abbot was taken aback again.
Things had spiraled way out of his predictions, but seeing how Seraphina was, he couldn't help but ask, "Isn't she the one?"
"She is," Seraphina slowly replied, then let out a scoff, "But from now on, she has nothing to do with me."
With that, Seraphina turned around and headed towards the hospital's main building.
Seeing all this, Abbot didn't dare to ask anymore. He quickly followed Seraphina while making a phone call.
When the man and woman who had been accompanying Sandra hurried back to the therapy room, they found Sandra curled up in a corner of the room, tightly clutching her own arm, unable to stop her tears from flowing, completely broken.
...
After leaving the hospital, Seraphina directed the driver to head back to the Reynolds family.
Abbot, sitting in the passenger seat, hesitated for a moment before sending a message to Leandro.
Seraphina sat quietly in the back seat of the car, staring out of the window with no expression on her face.
Not until they arrived back at Reynolds Manor.
As Seraphina was about to get out of the car, she saw Valerio sitting on the steps at the entrance with the nanny. Next to them was a broken flower pot and a pile of soil, the nanny was applying some medicine to Valerio's hand.
Seeing this, Seraphina immediately got out of the car.
"What happened?" Seraphina quickly walked over and grabbed Valerio's hand.
The nanny quickly explained, "For homework, the teacher asked each of them to plant a flower. He just filled the pot with soil when he accidentally dropped it, causing a small cut on his hand."
Seraphina immediately started inspecting Valerio's body carefully.
"It's nothing serious," the nanny quickly reassured her, seeing her concern. "Just a small cut on his hand. There are also some bruises on his arm and leg, but he wasn't bleeding. Valerio's skin is thin, even a slight bump will leave a mark for a day or two, but it's nothing to worry about."
Seraphina looked at the wounds on Valerio's hand and leg, and fell silent for a moment.
Suddenly, Valerio pulled his hand out of hers, hugging it to his chest and turning his head to look away, his lips pouting.
Seraphina slowly lifted her eyes, taking in his profile that looked so much like Leandro's, remaining silent.
"He’s somewhat upset." the nanny softly said to Seraphina, "You haven't been home these days, and he's been missing you. He hasn't been very happy recently..."
Upon hearing the nanny's words, Valerio, who had been keeping his emotions in check, suddenly had red-rimmed eyes.
"You're such a brave boy, you didn't cry when you fell just now, why are you about to cry now?" the nanny teased, "You can't cry, you're a boy, you should be brave and not shed tears."
Hearing this, Valerio suddenly took a deep breath, forcing back his tears.
The nanny couldn't help but let out a soft laugh at this, but when she turned to look at Seraphina, she suddenly looked surprised, "Sera, what's wrong?"
Valerio's tears didn't fall, but Seraphina's tears were uncontrollably welling up.
