Ken handed the bowl of oatmeal to Seraphina and quickly found an excuse to leave the room.
Orion glanced at the oatmeal. Then, with a slight tremble, he extended his hand, still attached to an IV.
Seraphina furrowed her brow, Orion's expression remained calm, but there was a glimmer of anticipation in his eyes. She looked at him, feeling a twinge of vulnerability and helplessness in a man who was usually so cold and indifferent. Her heart softened; he was a patient after all.
She couldn't be too heartless.
She handed the bowl of oatmeal to him. There was a spoon already inside, which allowed him to feed
himself.
That was as much patience as she could muster.
Orion looked at her quietly. He raised his other hand, which revealed clear puncture marks.
This hand, too, was trembling.
"This hand has no strength left."
Today had been rough on him.
Seraphina fell silent slightly before slowly retracting the bowl
Orion thought she might use the other hand to feed him, but he suddenly heard her call out.
"Ken-"
The air froze for a few seconds, silence stretching through the room.
Orion's expression stiffened.
His heart thumped a little as he suddenly realized what she was about to do.
No, absolutely not!
I'd rather starve!
Next, Ken appeared at the door.
"Ms. Cross, do you need something?" Ken asked, having been standing outside to ensure no one disturbed. Seraphina and Orion's time together. Seraphina handed him the bowl of oatmeal and said, "Come over here and feed Mr. Dros."
She made it sound so natural.

Ken's expression frozen. He had carefully created this opportunity for the two of them, but she wanted. him to do this. Was this even appropriate? Especially when he caught the warning glare from Orion, Ken grew even more afraid.
He was concerned that if he took that bowl from Seraphina, the next day someone might find his body covered in concrete at the bottom of the Thyness River "What's the matter? Are you unwilling to serve your boss?" Seraphina asked, her eyes twinkling with mischief.
Before the nervous and sweating Ken could reply, Orion snatched the oatmeal from Seraphina. Without hesitation, he gulped it down in one go.
His narrow eyes, sharp with a flicker of anger, seemed mad.
""Get out!"
That was directed at Ken.
Ken felt as though he had just brushed off death.
He hurriedly bolted out of the room, determined to get as far away as possible. Ken wouldn't give Seraphina the chance to call him back again. Now, only the two of them remained in the room.
The atmosphere was cold.
Seraphina chuckled softly and said, "Now that you've finished eating, I'll take the empty bowl out. Get
some rest.
She gracefully stood up and was ready to leave.
She didn't notice the way Orion's sharp eyes flickered with a fleeting hint of hurt before that mist of vulnerability faded away.
Everything felt so close, yet he couldn't grasp any of it.
*Seraphina."
His voice came out hoarse, weak.
She halted and cocked her head to look at him.
"What?"
"Why did you post that photo on Instagram?"
Orion's lips pressed into a thin line. His gaze was dark and unreadable, as though shadows of unresolved emotions swirled in his eyes.
There was something he anticipated, but he was frightened of something.
He hadn't asked before not because he didn't care hut because he feared what the answer might he

Seraphina smiled faintly, brushing her hair back as her smile deepened.
"Because he's my new boyfriend."

If one lie could make Orion give up and reconcile with her, Seraphina was willing to use this excuse to push him away.
In that moment, Orion's face paled even further. The hurt in his eyes was undisguised; he was incredibly
upset.
It felt like a bolder had lodged in his chest and suffocated him.
The corners of his eyes had turned red as he struggled to suppress the overwhelming sadness and grief in
his heart.
His fists c
clenched tightly. Ultimately, they loosened powerlessly.
He had no idea where to begin or where to go next.
Seraphina was free. It was he who had let her go. He was now experiencing the bitterness of that decision, feeling every drop as hopeless as before. The room fell silent.
Seraphina glanced at him and spoke indifferently, I've had many boyfriends. Haven't you known that for a while, Mr. Dros?"
It was time for them to start their new
