Tangled in His Obsession (Seraphina)

Chapter 495

Abbot, flanked by a few bodyguards, stood at a measured distance from Seraphina as per her instructions. Ever since Simon arrived, however, all eyes had been fixed upon them, and at the slightest hint of physical contact between the two, the guards briskly approached.

"Are you alright, ma'am?" Abbot inquired, his gaze shifting cautiously towards Simon.

Although word had reached him that Simon posed no real threat to Seraphina anymore, a hint of vigilance remained.

Perhaps to avoid irritating Seraphina, Simon had come to the graveyard alone, thus he simply instructed Abbot, "She's twisted her ankle. Fetch a pair of comfortable slippers from the car."

Upon hearing the command, Abbot promptly dispatched someone to retrieve the slippers and then suggested to Seraphina, "Madam, perhaps we should visit the hospital for a check-up?"

Seraphina didn't respond, prompting Simon to offer, "I know an old healer in Summitville, excellent at treating sprains and bruises. Shall we take you there?"

"No need," Seraphina declined coldly, "My bodyguards will take me to the doctor."

With that, she sidestepped his offered support and, leaning on Abbot's arm, began to descend the hillside, step by painstaking step.

Simon didn't follow but stood still, watching until Seraphina's figure disappeared from view.

Once Seraphina slipped on the comfortable footwear and settled into the car, they barely left the cemetery when her phone buzzed with a call from Andrea.

"You're hurt?" Andrea's voice exuded concern the moment the call connected.

Without needing to guess, Seraphina confirmed and then asked, "Where are you?"

"Wandering around the alleyways," Andrea replied, "How bad is it?"
