Chapter 82

Herman reacted swiftly, firing off another round. This time, the bullet found its mark, landing straight in Fidelia’s heart.

After Fidelia fell to the ground, Herman quickly moved to the window to get a glimpse of what’s going on inside the house.

Fidelia’s body lay strewn on the ground, with Balch right next to her, silently taking in the scene. Underneath him was a chaotic mess of blood.

Seeing this, Herman quickly returned to Leandro and Seraphina, “How are you holding up, Leandro?”

Leandro held Seraphina tightly, his gaze fixed on her face. His body was stiff and his expression cold.

“She took a bullet for you?” Herman asked, while quickly dialing for an ambulance on his phone.

Suddenly, Seraphina in Leandro’s arms made a sound, “Ugh…”

Leandro looked down. Seraphina slowly opened her eyes, but the pain was clearly etched on her face, “It hurts so much…”

Herman leaned over to her, concern filling his voice. “Where are you hurt? Can you feel anything?”

“It hurts…” Seraphina managed to wheeze out before continuing, “Why does it hurt so much even with a bulletproof vest on…”

Upon hearing the words “bulletproof vest“, Leandro quickly unbuttoned her shirt to reveal the vest. His hand reached around to her back, feeling for something, and pulled out a bullet.

There was no blood, which meant the bullet didn’t penetrate the vest.

Herman watched in surprise, throwing Seraphina a perplexed look.

This lady was full of surprises. Who would’ve thought she was wearing a bulletproof vest?

Leandro silently looked at the bullet in his hand for a moment before finally shifting his gaze to Seraphina.

Seraphina was still gasping for breath, looking at Leandro with a forced smile. “Mr. Reynolds, were you actually planning to take a bullet for me just now? Am I really worth it to you?”
