Chapter 98

Having just delivered a momentous revelation, Seraphina raised her gaze to meet that of Leandra

Leandro offered her a sidelong glance, his comportment preserving its typical icy tranqiality

It seemed that Seraphina had an epiphany, her words having lacked the expected impact. Rising to her feet, she initiated her departure towards her chambers, uttering. “I ought to cross–verify the airway tickets”

Mid–stride, a recollection seemed to hit her Wheeling around, she made her way back to the diminutive table, retaking her seat “Prior to my departure, I’m entrusted with a query to Mr. Reynolds from a friend”

“Which friend?” Conway’s forehead crinkled “What’s the matter?”

“Valerio Reynolds!” Seraphina fixed her gaze on Leandro “Mr. Reynolds, after you ushered Valeno into the fold, did you not investigate his lineage?”

Conway’s countenance subtly shifted at her inquiry

Leandro, absorbed in perusing Conway’s medical dossier, didn’t so much as flutter an eyelash “And in what manner does this pertain to your acquaintance?”

“Valerio is my friend” Seraphina said, “He really wants to know about his mother I promised to help him out.”

Having finished reading the document in his hand, Leandro placed it on the table and looked at Seraphina “What do you want to know?” “Everything about his past of course” Seraphina replied “As his foster father, no one would know this better than Mr. Reynolds, right?”

No sooner had the words left her mouth, Conway started coughing violently, flailing and grabbed Seraphina’s hand

“What’s wrong, grandpa?” Seeing his panicked state, Seraphina was taken aback.
