Chapter 128

Seraphina didn’t seem to care much whether Leandro had truly changed his attitude or not. All she had

in mind was getting out of the hospital. As soon as she was back in the ward, she changed into her

own clothes and prepared to leave.

Her car had been towed away by the police after the accident, so she had no choice but to return the

same way she came by hopping into Leandro’s car.

“Could you drop me off at the train station?” She asked Keen once they were in the car. “It’s not too late

to go back to Velvetwood.”

Upon hearing this, Keen glanced at Leandro in the rearview mirror but said nothing.

The traffic in Moonhaven was a mess. About half an hour later, they finally pulled up in front of an

apartment complex. Seraphina gazed at the tall building from the car window, taking in the view. She

couldn’t help but marvel at the expensive cost of living in such a place in Manhattan.

She turned her gaze back to Keen, “Would it kill you to drop me off at the train station first?”

Keen gave her a helpless look before getting out of the car and opening the door for her, “Ms. Bennett,

please.”

“Is this the train station?” Seraphina retorted.

Keen looked at her helplessly. Seraphina, however, was set on giving him a hard time, “Pineview

Station. If you don’t know the way, I can pull it up on the GPS for you!”

By this time, Leandro had gotten out of the car and was making his way over to Seraphina’s side, “Get

out.”

Keen’s face turned serious. Seraphina looked at him and saw the sweat on his forehead, which made

her burst out laughing.

Finally, she decided to stop tormenting him and obediently got out of the car.

Keen let out a sigh of relief. As Seraphina walked past him, she whispered, “Is your boss really that

scary? Aren’t you a bit too uptight?”

Keen looked at her, not knowing what to say. He was usually competent and therefore rarely

reprimanded by Leandro. However, he had seen how Leandro treated those who made mistakes and

he knew the consequences of messing up in front of him. But dealing with Seraphina always seemed to

leave him at a loss. Luckily, Leandro himself seemed to have no idea how to handle Seraphina, so he

was relatively lenient with Keen. But if Seraphina ever truly pissed Leandro off and made him lose his

patience, Keen would be the one to bear the brunt of it.

Of course, Seraphina had never considered any of this. How could she possibly worry about a jittery

little clerk like him?

In fact, she didn’t even bother to wait for his response. She followed Leandro into the building and

obediently went upstairs. Leandro’s apartment was both high–end and luxurious. It was equipped with

smart home technology, a living room, bedroom, study, and two bathrooms. The only downsides were

probably the high cost and the fact that there was only one bedroom. It was clear that even in

Starhaven, Leandro was still very busy. After returning to the apartment, he called for the housekeeper

and gave a few instructions before finally turning to Seraphina, “If you need anything, you can tell the

housekeeper.”

Seraphina was standing by the large floor–to–ceiling window, admiring the night view. When she heard

Leandro’s words, she casually agreed.

Leandro glanced at her before heading into his study.

After enjoying the view for a while, the housekeeper brought her toiletries, a bathrobe, pajamas, and a

set of high–end skincare products.

It was a rare experience to be able to stay in a place like this. Seraphina accepted the items and went

into the bathroom. When she came out after her shower, a plate of warm scrambled eggs, a slice of

toast, and a glass of milk had been placed on the table in the living room. Next to the food was a small

transparent bag containing the medicine she needed to take. There was a note on the bag that read,

“Eat first, then take your medicine“.

It was obvious that this was what Leandro had ordered the housekeeper to prepare. Not being one to

stand on ceremony. Seraphina sat down and polished off the food. She then went to brush her teeth

and headed straight for the lone bedroom and

settled into bed.

At midnight, Leandro came out of his study and saw that Seraphina was no longer in the living room.

He went over to the small table in the living room and saw the empty plate. Then he noticed the

untouched medicine.

His expression darkened as he picked up the bag of medicine and made his way to the bedroom.

In the bedroom, Seraphina was hogging the entire bed, sleeping soundly.

Leandro first felt her forehead before shaking her awake.

Seraphina groaned and refused to open her eyes until she heard Leandro’s voice, “Wake up and take

your medicine.”

Seraphina immediately pulled the covers over her head, mumbling. I’m sleepy…”

Leandro pulled back the covers and repeated, “Take your medicine.”

Reluctantly, Seraphina opened her eyes. As soon as she saw the medicine in his hand, she

immediately burrowed back under the covers, “It’s too bitter, I don’t want to…”

“If you don’t want me to grind the medicine into powder and force it down your throat, then get up and

take your medicine.”

His voice was so cold it could freeze someone. Seraphina shivered under the covers before slowly

crawling out.

She took the bag of medicine he handed her, but hesitated to open it.

Leandro stood by the bed, silently watching her. After a while, Seraphina finally looked up at him, “You

go do your thing, I can take it myself!”

Leandro just looked at the nightstand, “Take it now.”

Following his gaze, she saw that the housekeeper had prepared a glass of water, presumably for her to

take the medicine with.

Summoning her courage, she closed her eyes and put all the pills in her mouth at once before grabbing

the glass and pouring the water into her mouth.

Unexpectedly, the pills got stuck in her throat. She choked a couple of times before spitting out

everything, water and pills alike.

Leandro’s face turned stern. Seraphina choked until she was on the verge of tears. She threw the glass

onto the floor.

The glass cup hit the thick carpet without making a sound. She slumped back onto her bed, “I said I’m

not eating, and I meant it. Are you trying to choke me to death or what?”

Leandro pulled a long face, staring at her as she burrowed back under the covers. Then he turned and

walked out.

Two minutes later, he was back in the bedroom, placing another glass of water and a bag of pills on the

bedside table.

“Get up,” Leandro commanded. “This time, swallow them one by one.”

Seraphina lay still for a moment, realizing resistance was futile, she begrudgingly sat up. She glanced

at the water and pills by her bed, then slowly swallowed them one by one.

Leandro stood nearby and watched as she took all the pills, but his brow was still furrowed. Once she’d

swallowed the last pill, Seraphina stuck out her tongue at him, “There, it’s done. Are you satisfied?”

With that, she slammed down the glass of water and lay back on the bed.

Leandro, seeing this, turned to leave but paused after a single step.

Seraphina stayed under the covers, not looking at him and he didn’t look back. After a pause, he finally

spoke, “Being alive is a gift. You should cherish your life.”
