Tangled in His Obsession (Seraphina)

Chapter 459

Given Leandro’s boredom while confined to his hospital bed, Seraphina took it upon herself to enliven his days, even going so far as to arrange for Valerio’s tutoring sessions to take place at the hospital.

Though he had company by day, the loss of freedom was a torment to a man like Leandro, who was accustomed to a bustling life. Forced to be idle, he was completely out of his element.

Three days post-op, once he was free of the myriad tubes, Leandro began trying to get out of bed with assistance.

On day four, he attempted to walk on his own.

By the seventh day, Seraphina had to leave to handle some matters at Carney Artful Reverie. Twenty minutes after her departure, Leandro, with Keen’s support, also made a temporary exit from the hospital.

Naturally, he was going to see Gloria.

Herman was already surprised when he got the call, but seeing Leandro in person left him utterly astonished.

“Leandro!” Herman rushed over to support him. “How did you manage to get discharged so soon?”

Fresh from surgery, Leandro was visibly pale and running on sheer willpower.

Herman guessed the reason immediately. “Does Seraphina know you’ve bolted from the hospital?”

Leandro shook his head, bypassing the concern. “Is everything set?”

Herman was worried about his health, but since Leandro had come all this way, they couldn’t let it be for nothing. He nodded, “But it can’t be long, you need to get back to the hospital ASAP.”

Leandro acknowledged with a nod.

Herman reached out to help him, but Leandro waved him off, “I’m not that fragile.”

Unable to argue, Herman let him be.
