Tangled in his Obsession novel Chapter 99

No sooner had Leandro exited the emergency room than he was waylaid by Seraphina. A glance at her coincided with the ring of his phone, leading him to step aside for the call.

Seraphina, following his lead, accompanied him to the lounge, perching next to him as he engaged in conversation.

The hospital's private quarters were hushed and chilly. Now and then, medical staff would flit by, casting inquisitive looks at the duo: the inscrutable Leandro and the currently in-focus Seraphina.

Leandro's call was conducted in German, a language foreign to Seraphina. Impatience began to creep in, her fingers toying with his collar, tapping his sleeve.

Initially unfazed by her, Leandro finally reacted when her hand strayed towards his trousers, capturing it and casting her a quick glance.

Seraphina just laughed and pointed at a crease on his leg.

In fact, Leandro always maintained a dignified and serious image outside, his clothes perfectly neat, nothing that needed her adjustment. But Seraphina couldn't stand his serious demeanor and always wanted to tease him.

So when Leandro grabbed her hand, Seraphina started playing with his hand, making them look even more intimate.

Leandro kept his calm pace, talking to the person on the phone while trying to pull his hand out of hers.

But before he could even move, Seraphina suddenly let go of his hand and stood up.

He looked up to see Lorenzo coming out of the emergency room.

Seraphina immediately greeted him with a smile, "Hey there."

Lorenzo looked at her, then at Leandro, and gave a slight nod, "Hey."

"How's my grandpa?" Seraphina pointed at the door of the emergency room, "Is it serious?"

"His condition is stable for now, but we'll have to wait for the test results to be sure," Lorenzo replied.

"Oh." Seraphina looked relieved, then reached out her hand to him, "Thanks, I'm Seraphina, and you are?"

"Lorenzo Reynolds."

At the mention of his name, Seraphina raised an eyebrow and glanced back at Leandro.

Leandro was holding his phone, seemingly listening to the person on the other end, silently watching them, his gaze cold.

"You're a Reynolds?" Seraphina continued, "What's your relationship with the Reynolds family... I lived at Reynolds Manor until I was eighteen, but I've never seen you."

At this, Lorenzo shot Leandro another glance.

Seraphina's eyes were darting between Lorenzo's face.

He didn't resemble Leandro, aside from their similar thin lips that were reminiscent of Bruce Reynolds. However, they both carried a certain aura that demanded respect. The difference was that Leandro exuded a lofty indifference, while Lorenzo carried an academic aloofness.

"I only returned to the Reynolds family a few years ago," Lorenzo replied coolly, apparently unwilling to discuss the matter further. "I need to arrange some health checks for grandpa, I'll be leaving now."

Seraphina watched him turn and leave, his figure disappearing from her sight.

Leandro was positioned behind her, having ended his call unnoticed and silently observing her with the phone still clutched in his hand.

Jolted back into reality, Seraphina quickly scooted next to him, an excited query tumbling from her lips, "Is that... your sibling? He's exceedingly attractive... You two appear to have a good rapport, does he have a partner?"
