Chapter 448

When Seraphina finally made her way back to the hospital, Andrea was waiting at the main entrance, her eyes anxiously scanning each arriving vehicle. As soon as Seraphina’s car pulled up, Andrea darted forward, grasping Seraphina’s hands in her own.

Seraphina’s palms were icy, a stark contrast to the warmth of the summer evening. Andrea instinctively rubbed them between her hands, trying to infuse some of her own warmth into Seraphina’s chilled skin.

“What are you doing here?” It took a moment for Seraphina to find her voice, a quiet murmur against the buzz of the hospital.

Andrea’s gaze lingered on her face, a gentle tone softening her words, “Mr. Herman sent me a text.”

A brief laugh escaped Seraphina at the mention of his name. “You haven’t blocked him yet?”

The quip brought a more scrutinizing look from Andrea, revealing a disturbing calm in Seraphina’s eyes that sent a shiver down her spine.

“I’ll come in with you,” Andrea offered.

But Seraphina shook her head, her gaze drifting to the dark expanse of the night sky as she exhaled, “Time moves so slowly…”

Glancing at her watch, Andrea noted it was already ten in the evening.

“How’s Valerio?” Andrea attempted to shift the focus away from the unspoken topic of Leandro, “Is he still in Summitville, or did he come back too? Is everything settled?”

“You remind me…” Seraphina mumbled, reaching into her purse for her phone only to realize she’d left it in the car.

Fortunately, her driver had parked and was approaching with her bag in hand.
