Tangled in His Obsession (Seraphina)

Chapter 453

Seraphina never did spill the beans about what she told Gloria, or what was eating at Leandro so badly that he couldn’t resist her. After a short while, he was overcome by exhaustion and drifted back to sleep.

The hospital was a revolving door of faces that day, most of whom Leandro had never laid eyes on, and Seraphina had no time for those who didn’t matter. She had bigger fish to fry.

In the afternoon, while Leandro was snoozing, Seraphina slipped away to the Reynolds Vista Retreat to cover for Keen for a bit, and then sent Keen off to sort out the legal and medical teams needed for Gloria’s situation.

Keen was more seasoned in these matters. Seraphina only needed updates on the progress; she didn’t need to get her hands dirty with the details.

Then there was the matter of Valerio’s schooling.

It seemed unlikely they’d be returning to Summitville anytime soon, but Valerio’s education couldn’t be put on hold. Unwilling to drag him through the ordeal of switching schools repeatedly, Seraphina decided to hire a few tutors for some home–schooling. No sooner had she put the word out than a flood of recommendations and applications came in. After a quick sift through the prospects, she set up interviews for the next day, hoping to find the right fit for Valerio’s trial lessons.

Come evening, Seraphina returned to the hospital, only to be swarmed by a pack of reporters at the entrance.

“Mrs. Reynolds, we heard Mr. Reynolds is injured. Is it true?”

“Is it serious? Is Mr. Reynolds out of danger now?”

“What caused Mr. Reynolds‘ injury? Rumor has it, it’s related to you, Mrs/ Reynolds. Can you comment?”

“We heard you’re at the police station. Is the Reynolds family planning to take legal action regarding this accident?”

Questions bombarded Seraphina, but she strode through the reporters, shielded by her bodyguards, as if she hadn’t heard a thing, making her way inside.

Leandro’s injury had been kept under wraps until now, but the sudden siege of reporters–and their knowledge of Gloria’s situation–meant someone had been spreading the word.
