Tangled in His Obsession Series

Chapter 457

Seraphina, attempting to switch topics and inadvertently digging herself into a hole, was left seething with irritation at Leandro. Wanting nothing more than to avoid him, she took their son Valerio to the lounge to freshen up.

Back in the hospital room, everyone chuckled as she walked away. Leandro then turned to Dr. Daniel and inquired, “If I’m healing up nicely, is there any chance I can get an early discharge?”

“You’ve been through major trauma, and the surgery was a big one. We need to keep an eye on your vitals and run all the necessary tests. There’s still a recovery process to go through,” Dr. Daniel explained. “So, you just focus on getting better. You’ve got your wife and kid here for support. What’s the rush?”

Leandro paused for a moment before asking, “Did she cry in front of you that day?”

“Sure did,” Dr. Daniel confirmed. “She was pouring over your old medical records, tears streaming down her face, and nothing! said could comfort her.”

Leandro fell silent. Karan had mentioned that Seraphina cried when she went to see Gloria;

Dr. Daniel had just said she cried looking at his past medical records.

In his memory, Seraphina was never one to cry easily. And after seven years away, the Seraphina who had returned to Sunburst City seemed even less likely to shed tears.

Unless it was something that truly touched her heart, she wouldn’t let even a single tear fall.

But now, she had cried twice because of his condition.

As Leandro lay there, he felt as though the Seraphina he was waking up to was somewhat different from the past, but he couldn’t quite put his finger on whether this change was real or imagined.

It seemed now he might have found his answer.

When Seraphina returned to the room with Valerio, freshly washed and brushed, Dr. Daniel and the others had already left. Leandro was quietly lying in his hospital bed, aimlessly watching a mundane TV show.

Seraphina glanced at him, her expression still sour. “They left.

so soon?”

Leandro glanced back and replied, “Did you want to see them? Why did you run off then?”

“Who ran off?” Seraphina retorted, gripping Valerio’s shoulder. “It’s your son who needed looking after.”
