Chapter: 1772
�I� I�m fine !� Seraphina swallowed and averted her gaze in obvious guilt. Elijah tilted his head slightly, observing her closely.
�Why do I feel like something is weighing on your mind? Are you unhappy that the surgery was successful?�
�No! Of course I�m happy but�� Clenching her fists, Seraphina said, �It�s over between him and me once he regains his memory, so don�t expect me to celebrate this.�
�Is that the reason why you�re so disappointed?� Elijah frowned, finding her reasoning a bit strange.
She looked more panicked and helpless instead of gloomy and disappointed, so there was a possibility that Seraphina had done something without Stefan�s knowledge.
However, it wasn�t the time to investigate�all they could do was wait for Stefan to wake up.
Francine calmed herself, then looked at Seraphina and said directly, �Be frank with me, Seraphina-was the car accident involving Owen�s brother your doing?�
�What are you talking about, Madam Francine? I don�t understand.� Seraphina�s eyes grew wide in panic, not expecting Francine to ask her about it.
�You know exactly what I�m talking about.� At first, Francine didn�t plan to investigate the issue, but she felt that it was necessary to make some things clear.
�I know you�re worried that Stef will abandon you once he regains his memory, which is why you chose such an extreme method to prevent him from regaining his memories. I understand your intentions�� While speaking, Francine observed Seraphina�s reactions.
Seraphina remained silent and ducked her head, silently admitting to it. Although it had been a rather cunning plan, Seraphina didn�t see anything wrong with it. She felt her only mistake had been underestimating Owen since he had managed to distract and evade her successfully.
�I won�t hold you responsible for that because I know you only did it out of love for Stefan, but I hope you can understand my intentions too,� Francine said slowly.
Seraphina looked up, her eyes teary. �What are you saying, Madam Francine? What do you want?�
�Calm down�� Although Francine seemed to be reassuring Seraphina, she looked disapproving and solemn.
�I won�t force you to leave my son, but I�ll respect his choices. It�s his business if he picks you or someone else. However, I do have one request-that you stay away from Stef while he�s recuperating.�
�What?� Seraphina was stunned, and protested, �Isn�t that too much, Madam Francine? You know what I�ve suffered and sacrificed for Stefan, but now that he�s got his memories back, you want to get rid of me. You�re not even letting me see him! Don�t you feel bad doing this to me?� Seraphina wasn�t used to such treatment having been pampered and spoiled her whole life.
She was once the only heiress of the Murphy family before her father cheated on her mother and had illegitimate children. She had always been given everything she wanted and had been doted on her whole life.
�I can�t trust that you won�t do something extreme. This is the only way I can protect my son during this critical period.� Francine stayed calm despite Seraphina�s accusations.
After all, Seraphina dared to cause a car accident just to stop that surgery; there was nothing stopping her from doing something extreme to prevent Stefan from regaining his memories. Hence, Francine felt that it was the safest to separate Seraphina and Stefan for now.
