Chapter: 1372
It was like being seated at an exclusive restaurant, about to take a bite of your delicious food, but before you could, it was taken away without warning.
It was terribly disappointing.
�Since she�s recovered, of course she has to be discharged. She has no connection to you, so she can�t be like me and take care of you throughout the day.�
Seraphina�s voice was filled with jealousy. She then crumpled up the medicine instructions into a ball before throwing it into the trash can. She thought, �Hmph, regardless of whether this medicine is a miracle or not, I will never use something that woman gave me!�
Stefan�s face fell, and he raised an eyebrow at Seraphina�s tone, feeling like he had crossed a line.
�Someone who has no connection to me doesn�t deserve my attention. I haven�t even seen her face! Only the person in front of me is worthy of my love and devotion!�
�Seraphina, you�re being petty. I was only dismayed at the loss of an attendant� Come here and give me a hug, don�t be mad,� Stefan cajoled her warmly, his arms wide open.
�That�s more like it!� Seraphina snuggled into his embrace, her heart flooding with happiness.
�Looks like Everheart had some sense of self-awareness. She knew it would be beneficial for our relationship if she disappeared!�
�Ahem!� Francine had entered the room and witnessed the scene before her, and her face was black as thunder. Behind her was the caretaker that she had personally picked out for Stefan.
Seraphina was mad that the happy atmosphere had been interrupted, so she was about to give the intruder a piece of her mind. However, when she angrily turned around, she was pinned by Francine�s sharp gaze.
She jerked away from Stefan immediately and stammered, �A-Aunt Francine, why are you here?�
She had been feeling guilty ever since she and Jovan had secretly bribed the neurosurgeon to give Stefan that brain surgery. She�d also been feeling paranoid and suspicious of everyone.
�My son is in a hospital bed, and you ask me, his mother, why I�m here?� Francine demanded, her voice tight with anger. She didn�t like how Seraphina had been going about this, so she started lecturing her.
�You certainly have your ways, don�t you? You hid the fact that my son was injured for a whole week. Do you know that I was going crazy looking for him?�
Even though Stefan looked alright, Francine was still worried about him. Seeing her son in bandages made her heart ache.
�I�m sorry, Aunt Francine, I was so shaken up that I didn�t think about that. I was afraid that you�d worry, so I-�
�Don�t give me excuses, unless� Is this guilt? Were you the reason why Stef ended up like this?�
Francine asked suddenly, staring at Seraphina suspiciously.
�I didn�t, I�� Seraphina had no idea how to explain, and it made her look even more suspicious. JrNovels.com
