Chapter 300

Herman eyed Seraphina, sensing some plot brewing in her head. “Don’t stir the hornet’s nest with the Martin family,” he warned, frowning.

“No worries, Seraphina reassured him with a smile. “I’m a very simple and direct person. I won’t mess with anyone unless they mess with me first.”

Herman wanted to continue, but was interrupted by Mrs. Garcia standing nearby, “Watch your tone, Herman. Can’t you be more polite when you’re talking to Sera?”

Seraphina smirked at Herman, clearly relishing the moment. Herman, abruptly silenced, didn’t know how to respond. He knew arguing with Seraphina would lead nowhere, so he let the matter rest.

It wasn’t until the elder members of the Garcia family gradually dispersed and the room cleared out a bit that Seraphina had the chance to discuss Naylor with Herman.

Since Naylor had shot himself in the arm that day, he too was in the hospital. The police hadn’t been able to interrogate him properly during his hospital stay, so until now, Naylor hadn’t said anything yet.

“Has he been informed that Keeley has spilled everything?” Seraphina asked anxiously.

“What do you think?” Herman retorted.

Seraphina knew she had asked a redundant question, but she couldn’t help but worry. And asking had only made her more anxious.

His crimes were already public knowledge. What else could Naylor possibly be hiding?

Unless he was still protecting someone behind the scenes!

Seraphina suddenly thought of Simon, who had just arrived here.

If Naylor had truly been manipulated by him, then Simon would naturally be implicated once Naylor said everything. Simon’s visit to see Herman to prove his innocence would be pointless.

But would a man like him do such a useless thing? A sense of foreboding crept over Seraphina.

That day, she stayed in Herman’s room the entire day, waiting to hear about Naylor. But till the night, the news was still that Naylor hadn’t talked.

By the time Leandro arrived at the hospital, it was already 9 PM.

There was likely no progress to be made today, but Seraphina was reluctant to leave. Valerio had already claimed Herman’s bed for a nap and Herman was stuck on the couch.

Herman’s injuries weren’t serious, so sitting on the couch was fine. But when he saw Leandro, he couldn’t help but say, “Leandro, you’re finally here.”

Leandro glanced at the sleeping Valerio but didn’t see Seraphina, so he asked, “Where’s she?”

Herman nodded towards the bathroom, “She’s been here all day, said she was waiting for you…”

Leandro immediately got the gist, “Naylor hasn’t confessed yet?”

Herman sighed softly.

Just as Seraphina emerged from the bathroom, she saw Leandro sitting by the bed, watching Valerio./

Leandro scooped the stirring Valerio into his arms. Seeing Seraphina, Valerio relaxed again, and nestled against Leandro’s shoulder, falling back to sleep.

Herman made a gesture of assurance. Only then did Seraphina reluctantly leave.
