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?”
