Chapter 283

Seraphina doubted her own ears for a moment.

“Come again,” she said to Herman.

Herman, too, seemed reluctant to accept the fact. After a while, he repeated, “Maddox is dead.”

Seraphina blurted out an expletive, unable to control herself.

“He’s dead?” She was nearly out of control, “You told me this morning that he would wake up soon, now you’re telling me he’s dead. How did he die? How could he just drop dead like that?”

Herman lit a cigarette on the other end of the phone, and after a while, he said. “His injuries were severe what’s so surprising about him dying?”

Seraphina hung up the phone in anger.

She hadn’t lost her cool in a long time, but the news of Maddox’s death had indeed struck a nerve. She was completely dazed for a

moment.

On the other end of the phone, Herman stood at the end of the hospital hallway, a cigarette in his hand, silently staring into the distance.

Knowing she was not in a stable state of mind and not wanting to affect the people at home, Seraphina quickly returned to her room and paced back and forth in her bedroom.

Maddox’s injuries were indeed severe, and sudden death was possible under such circumstances. But when she was about to find out the identity of the fourth member of their criminal team, he suddenly died. Wasn’t that strange?

Thinking about this, Seraphina suddenly stopped pacing, and after a while, she changed her clothes and went straight to the hospital.
