Chapter 266
Seraphina thought she was seeing things.
Flashing through her mind were past images that mirrored the straight line she was looking at right now.
The first time, she was ten, standing at her father’s deathbed.
She didn’t understand what the line meant then, only that her mom fainted the moment she laid eyes on it.
In front of her, her dad lost consciousness and so did her mom.
From then on, she was without a dad and essentially, without a mom.
The second time was when Betty drew her last breath.
Betty was seriously ill by then and Seraphina, who was in denial, slowly couldn’t deny reality anymore.
When the flatline showed, she held Betty’s cold hand calmly, planting a gentle kiss on it.
Only when Sandra behind her broke into tears did her own tears finally fall.
Now, it was Sandra laying on the hospital bed, the straight line appearing before her eyes once again.
She thought she had nothing else to lose, but it seemed she still did….
Seraphina bit her lip, struggling to calm her breath and heartbeat. When she looked at the monitor again, it was still a straight line.
She couldn’t believe it, turning to look at Leandro, hoping for a different answer from him.
Leandro was expressionless, a hint of pity in his deep eyes.
