Tangled in His Obsession

Chapter 422

Upon seeing this, Conway turned to Herman, giving him a knowing look.

Herman was busy trying to figure out what was going on with Andrea, who was sitting at the bedside. Just as he was about to ask, he caught Conway’s signal and immediately shifted his gaze. After exchanging a glance with Conway, he walked out of the room.

Conway quickly followed him out, whispering, “What’s going on? You came with Leandro, right?”

“His mother’s been taken to the police station.” Herman replied. “But Leandro has everything under control. She shouldn’t be there for too long. She’ll probably be brought to the hospital soon… After all, her mental condition isn’t the best.””

Hearing this, Conway slowly nodded. “As long as he has a plan… I just hope that Sera can get through this.”

Upon hearing this, Herman couldn’t help but think of Andrea. “When did Andrea and Seraphina become so close?” he asked Conway.

“What?” Conway paused for a moment before replying. “They get along well, naturally they became close. With Andrea by her side, I hope Sera can

recover soon.”

Herman scoffed, “If she was genuinely trying to help, that would be one thing. But who knows what she’s really up…” Before he could finish his sentence, Andrea emerged from the room and caught his words.

Their eyes met. Herman didn’t feel guilty and didn’t avoid Andrea’s gaze. Andrea, however, quickly averted her eyes, saying to Conway, “I’m going to grab something from the store.”

Conway simply nodded, giving her a small smile. “Go ahead.”

Standing beside Conway, Herman watched Andrea walk away before saying, “Ms. Martin, I’ll accompany you.”

Andrea paused, giving him a quick glance before continuing towards the elevator.

Herman followed behind her, his expression solemn.

Back in the room, Leandro asked about Valerio’s condition, and Seraphina answered all of his questions. Valerio was scared and the two of them didn’t bring up any sensitive topics in front of him, focusing most of their attention on him.

Seraphina was relieved to see Valerio calming down, and he even showed them his hungry belly.

I’ll have the driver get something to eat.” Leandro offered, then turned to Seraphina, “Have you eaten? What would you like?”

“I’m not hungry.” Seraphina replied, “Just get something for Valerio.”

Leandro nodded, “I’ll take care of it.”

Valerio was a sensitive child, and he picked up on the tension between Leandro and Seraphina.

Leandro, still watching Seraphina, called the driver while Seraphina watched Valerio.

Valerio’s eyes filled with sadness.

“What’s wrong?” Seraphina asked, gently touching Valerio’s head. “Your dad’s getting you food, don’t worry.”

Valerio didn’t respond until Leandro finished his call and returned to the bedside. He looked back and forth between Seraphina and Leandro.

Seeing Valerio’s reaction, they both understood what was on his mind.

Leandro spoke first, “Your mom and I aren’t fighting. We’re just worried about you. When you feel better, we’ll be okay, okay?” As he said this, he took Seraphina’s hand in his own, and Seraphina didn’t resist.

Valerio, after a moment, placed his hand on top of theirs.

Seeing it, Seraphina felt a rush of emotion.

The previously awkward atmosphere in the room seemed to lighten. But then, the sound of voices came from outside the room. Seraphina recognized the voices of the Reynolds family- Leonard, Billy, and Nanette- all seemed to be outside.

Hearing these voices, Valerio quickly pulled away and hid into Leandro’s arms.

Seraphina took Valerio from Leandro, covering his ears with her hands. She looked at Leandro, saying, “I don’t want Valerie to be disturbed at this time.”

Leandro met her gaze before standing up and walking towards the door.

Outside the room, Leonard and the others were indeed there, all talking to Conway at once.

The silence hung heavy in the air as Leandro emerged from the hospital room, only to be broken by the clamor of accusatory voices.

“Leandro, what the hell is going on? Why did the police take your mother away?” This content © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

“I heard that you were there, too. How could you just let the cops take her? Have you thought about how damaging this could be to the reputation of the Reynolds family?”

“This was a spectacular failure on your part! No matter what happens, it should’ve stayed within the family. Why did you involve the police? What were you thinking?

As the last words echoed in the room, the door swung open once more, and Seraphina walked out.

Inside the room, Valerio, following Seraphina’s advice, slipped on his headphones and stared blankly at the video playing on his tablet.

Only after glancing at him did Seraphina finally turn her attention to the crowd gathered in front of her. In a calm voice, she announced, “I was the one who called the police.”

“You?” Nanette gasped, before adding, “I knew it. Only someone who isn’t a true Reynolds would do such a thing. What were you thinking? Haven’t you

caused enough trouble for the Reynolds family? Are you not happy until you bring down the entire family?”

Seraphina listened, a faint smile playing on her lips after a long silence.

“I don’t care if the Reynolds family falls apart,” she said. “But if anyone dares to hurt my son, they will pay the price.”
