When Seraphina posed the question, Andrea couldn't help but raise her eyes in curiosity toward Leandro.
The situation was dire - Seraphina's bodyguards had all been floored, and she herself had been whisked away to an unknown location.
In such a sprawling city, how could Leandro, despite his vast connections, have possibly located Seraphina in such a short span of time? And if he had been with Seraphina from the moment she was abducted, she wouldn't have faced such an ordeal.
So, the mystery remained: within a mere half-hour after she was taken, how had Leandro found her by that secluded pond on the outskirts of town and rescued her just in time?
The outcome was indeed thought-provoking.
The more Seraphina pondered, the more perplexed she became.
Her phone had been lost during the abduction, so Leandro couldn't have used it to locate her.
How then, could he have pinpointed her location?
With a piercing gaze, Seraphina pressed Leandro. "How on earth did you know I was there?"
Leandro didn't seem keen on answering, simply replying with a nonchalant, "It was luck."
Luck? Hearing this, Seraphina nearly blew her top. "So, if my luck had been just a tad worse, or if your luck had been just a tad off, I might be dead now?"
Seeing Seraphina getting worked up, Andrea sensed she should give them some space. She soothed Seraphina, "Hey, don't get all riled up. You've just come to and swallowed a ton of water... Are you hungry? I can whip something up for you."
"How can I eat with my stomach full of water and rage?" Seraphina responded irritably.
"Well, you gotta eat something," Andrea insisted. "I'll check with the doc and prepare some food for you." With that, Andrea slipped out of the room.
As soon as Andrea was gone, Seraphina reached out and grabbed Leandro by the collar. "Spill it! Did you plant a tracker on me?"
Leandro looked at her calmly and finally spoke up. "If I hadn't, how would you have been rescued today?"
Seraphina's eyes widened in shock at the implicit admission.
Swiftly, she pulled out her jewelry from the bedside drawer—rings, necklaces, bracelets, earrings—inspecting each piece closely under the light. Then she presented them to Leandro. "Is it in this one? This one? Or this one?"
After questioning him about every piece, Leandro's expression remained unchanged.
"That doesn't make sense," Seraphina suddenly realized, "I wear different pieces every day. Did you bug every single item?"
At that, she began frantically feeling her head and face, her skin prickling with the realization.
"Where exactly is it?" Seraphina, both curious and furious, once again grabbed Leandro by the collar.
Leandro then casually tapped her hip and said, "Right here."
Seraphina froze. He had actually implanted a tracking device in her body?
"It's a state-of-the-art global positioning chip, completely harmless," Leandro explained.
