Tangled in his Obsession novel Chapter 452

Chapter 452

Leandro exhaled slowly, regaining his composure before he spoke. “Thought you didn’t want to take care of me?”

Seraphina suddenly lifted the handkerchief in her hand, “Aren’t I taking care of you right now, Mr. Leandro?”

Hearing this, Leandro closed his eyes and took a deep breath, a faint smile playing at the corners of his mouth. After a moment, he asked, “How’s… my mother doing?”

Seraphina had anticipated this question first thing in the morning, yet it was the very topic she least wanted to discuss with him. The doctors said his injuries were severe and required rest. But how could he rest if he started worrying about Gloria?

Clear as day, Seraphina knew this was a conversation that had to be had for Leandro to truly rest. So, after sending the nurse away, she sat down beside his bed to address his concern. “I gave her a piece of my mind.”

“Uh–huh,” Leandro acknowledged, prompting her to continue.

“I made her cry,” she added.

Leandro seemed mildly surprised by this, watching Seraphina quietly, waiting for her to continue.

“Then-“Seraphina hesitated, but on glancing up, she caught sight of Herman outside the hospital room. She resumed, “She agreed to go with Herman.”

Leandro closed his eyes again upon hearing this.

“Don’t worry just yet,” Seraphina advised, “I asked Herman to come and talk to you.”

After saying this, she stood up, walked to the door, and gestured for Herman to come in. Herman approached promptly, asking, “How’s Leandro doing?”

“Tell him about his mom first, then we can decide how he’s doing,” Seraphina replied.

Herman nodded and made to enter the room.

Yet Seraphina pulled him back, asking, “It’s something he can handle, right?”

Herman gave her a reassuring look, “Don’t worry, I know what to say and what not to.”

Relieved, Seraphina let him into the room.

“Leandro,” Herman called out.

In the half minute it took Herman to enter, Leandro had rested his eyes again. He opened them hearing Herman’s voice and responded softly.

“How are you feeling?” Herman asked in a low voice.

“I’m not going to kick the bucket,” Leandro replied curtly, then pressed on, “What’s the situation?”

Herman let out a breath and exchanged a glance with Seraphina before saying, “Gloria’s confessed to everything, including pushing Vivian Smith down the stairs years ago-”

Leandro’s expression remained unchanged.

“But don’t worry,” Herman quickly added, “because Gloria was very calm, very stable. She was lucid when she talked about the past, and I think she’s truly come to her senses.”

Herman knew all too well the state Gloria had been in over the years, as the Reynolds family’s close ties made such news known. After the recent incident, he was all the more familiar with Gloria’s mental condition.

But the Gloria he saw today seemed like a completely different person–composed, serene, clearly articulating each mistake from her past without any sign of distress.

“Her only concern was about you,” Herman continued, “But this morning, Bruce came and told her you were out of danger- The memory of Bruce and Gloria’s meeting was still vivid in Herman’s mind.

Aware of their rocky marriage and mindful of the receiit accident, Herman had been on edge, fearing a confrontation the moment they met.

Unexpectedly, the moment Gloria saw Bruce, she sat up–straight and immediately asked, “How’s Leandro? Is the surgery ove)? Is be out of danger?
