Tangled in His Obsession ( Seraphina )

Chapter 83 

Seraphina took in his words, didn’t ask any more questions, and just sat quietly for a long time. 

Back in the day, Wilbur had been the main suspect in the case and he was the one who ended up serving time However, Wilbur passed away due to illness just six months into his prison sentence. 

Balch said he only found out the truth a year later. By that time, Wilbur was already six feet under. Even if the truth came out now, it wouldn’t change a 

thing 

Besides, Fidelia was his lover. In a situation where he couldn’t change the past, protecting someone he once cared for might be the best option, right? 

Seraphina just sat there, her face looking quite glum. 

Balch reached out and gently held her hand, “Sera, all of this is water under the bridge for me. It’s all in the past that I want to let go” 

Seraphina slowly pulled her hand back, “I need some time” 

With that she got up to leave Balch made as if to stop her, but then he sucked in a breath in pain. When he let go of her hand, he was sweating bullets. 

Seeing this, Seraphina quickly checked his wound, “Are you okay? Your wound is deep, you can’t move around so much!” 

Balch took the chance to grab her hand again, and didn’t let go. 

His palm was sweaty and cold. 

Seraphina was so taken aback that she pressed the bell for the doctor. 

The doctor arrived quickly and started to check the wound on Balch’s back. 

Seraphina finally got a good look at Balch’s wound. 

It was the outcome of Balch stepping in without a second thought when Fidelia swung a knife at her. 

Fidelia had intended to hurt her, so the stab was deep. 

Balch let the doctor treat his wound and turned to look at Seraphina. She was staring at his wound, seemingly in shock. 

Balch gently squeezed her hand, whispering, “It’s okay, I will be okay” 

Seraphina just looked at him, her expression complicated, and didn’t say anything. 

After the doctor finished rebandaging the wound and gave a few instructions, he left. 

It was then that Seraphina spoke, “Let me go. I can’t think straight when I’m with you.” 

Balch stared at her for a long time, then sighed and slowly let go of her hand. 

Seraphina turned to leave. As she reached the door, she couldn’t help but glance back at him. 

Balch was watching her, his gaze steady. 

Seraphina hesitated for a moment, then confessed, “I didn’t tell the police everything… 

Balch’s gaze flickered. 

“About your wife… I didn’t say anything: Seraphina said. 

Balch gave a small smile, “I know If you had, the police’s questions just now would have been different.” 

“Why did you still tell me then?‘ Seraphina asked, “You know I was testing you!” 

“I wanted to tell you” Balch said, “I didn’t want to keep anything from you anymore. Whatever decision you make, I won’t regret it.” 

Seraphina took one more look at him, then turned and left. 

Balch watched Seraphina’s retreating figure until she disappeared from sight. Then he returned to the bed and sat quietly for a while, closing his eyes. 

Seraphina left the room and headed straight for the hospital entrance. As she reached the roadside, she took a deep breath. 

Just as she was catching her breath, a car pulled up in front of her. Seeing Herman, she swallowed her breath 

“Mr. Herman, what a coincidence,” she tidied her hair and greeted him with a smile 

Herman came oyer and leaned against the car door, arms crossed over his chest He looked at her, “Mr. Lawson is awake?” 

“Yes,” Seraphina nodded, her tone casual, “Your colleague probably finished taking his statement already. Are you here to question him again?” 

Herman looked at her and smiled, Ms. Bennett, you’re quite the optimist” 

Seraphina gave him a look, then grinned, ‘Mr Herman, what are you getting at?” 

“Even though you’re officially Leandro’s fiancée, in reality, you’re Balch’s girlfriend. Now, because of your boyfriend’s past, you were almost killed, and your boyfriend is seriously injured and in the hospital But you seem to be taking it all in stride, Ms. Bennett That’s quite something 

Seraphina touched her ear and slowly replied, “I m just like that. What can I do?” 

Herman straightened up and looked at her, “About the incident that night, are you sure there’s nothing else you want to add, Ms. Bennett?” 

Seraphina just smiled, “I’m sure.” 

Herman didn’t say anything else, just nodded and turned to walk towards the hospital 

Seraphina waved cheekily at him, watching him go inside. 

A black sedan drove out of the hospital, brushing past Herman. 

Herman stopped and looked into the car. 

The car window rolled down, and Seraphina saw Leandro in the back seat. 

He was wearing a black shirt, his features sharp and cold, giving off a strong aura 

Seraphina raised an eyebrow, and while he wasn’t looking, she turned and walked away 

But she had only walked about a few steps when the black car pulled up beside her. 

Seraphina stopped and rolled her eyes in annoyance, then got into the car.. 

The car continued to drive slowly, the atmosphere inside incredibly quiet. 

Leandro didn’t say anything. Bored, Seraphina began to check out the car, then turned to him, “Where are we going?” 

“You’ll know when we get there,” Leandro responded without looking at her. 

Seraphina made a face 

The car drove all the way to the nursing home where Conway was staying. 

When Seraphina walked into Conway’s room, he was checking his blood pressure. As soon as he saw her, his blood pressure shot up. 

Before the nurse could even open her mouth to read off the blood pressure, Conway had already ripped the cuff off and grabbed his cane to swing at Seraphina 

Seraphina yelped and quickly backed away, only to bump straight into Leandro behind her. 

Leandro glanced down at her before unceremoniously shoving her towards Conway. 

Sure enough, Conway’s cane came swinging down, smacking Seraphina’s arm with a heavy thud. 

“Ouch!” 

Pain shot through Seraphina, causing her to wince. When she turned to look, Leandro was casually lounging on a nearby couch, silently watching her get whacked. 

“Grandpa Grandpa“” After being hit a couple times, Seraphina finally managed to grab hold of Conway’s cane, whining, “Grandpa, I’ve just gone through hell, how could you still hit me?” 

“Gone through hell?” Conway’s eyes bulged in anger, “You brought this on yourself! Why did you have to mess with Balch? You almost got yourself killed! Is he really that great?” 

“He’s more than great!” Seraphina insisted, “When I was at death’s door, he blocked a knife for me!”
