Chapter 464
Adrian almost called home to have them set the infirmary up with all that was needed.But then he knew the general would get reports about the reason.Since he didn’t want the man to be anxious for nothing or Seraphina uncomfortable, he arranged for a different hospital entirely.One known for its discretion.The doctors were waiting for them when they arrived.And they immediately ushered Seraphina in for the test, while Adrian anxiously waited outside the door.He soon received a call.He picked it up as soon as he recognised the number.“Is it done?” Dahlia asked anxiously.He had taken her to get a phone before taking her right back to the hospital.A way to prevent her from getting another nurse to make another call for her.“They are currently on it,” he responded, his gaze returning to the door of the examination room.Dahlia sighed heavily on the other end. “Are you sure they will really get a result today?”“That was the promise.”Dahlia tutted. “Too many promises go unfulfil

The officers gaped at her fleeing figure before the one swinging his hands in pain suddenly stopped and glared at them.“What are you waiting for, morons? Get her!”“Ah, yes. Yes, sir.”He took to his heels too, outrunning them as he closed in on the woman trying to flag down random cars.A cab suddenly pulled over just ahead.The woman jerked the door open and raised her leg to enter.He jerked her back by the nape of her baggy dress.He was in plain clothes and flashed his badge at the cab driver, saying, “You would have been in serious trouble.”The ma

Adrian watched her eyes narrow, and he could only imagine how ridiculous the request sounded to her.“Did I just hear you say…?”He nodded. “Yeah.”“But why?” She spread her arm. “I mean, I know the reason for the rest. I mean, why that particular one? Why so specific?”“It’s the closest to what Patricia said. Something about children.”Seraphina paled.“You really think she would do something like that?”Adrian wanted so badly not to cause her any pain, yet he could only give her the truth.“I know she can do anything.”She nodded once and turned to carry her bag.“Let’s do it.”“I…” Adrian stood and tucked his hands in his pockets.He pulled them out when she looked at him in question.“I know you have things you want to do at the office today. I can wait for you to wrap things up, and…”“No.” Seraphina’s voice was strong and her gaze direct. “This is important. This is probably life-threatening. Every other thing can wait. Just give me a moment, please.”“Okay.”Adrian watched in a

Adrian was waiting outside GLENCOE when Seraphina arrived.He walked to her door as she parked and held it open for her.“Morning, fiancé,” Seraphina greeted him brightly, even as she scrutinised his face.Something was up. She could feel it.Still, his face gave nothing away as he raised his brow, saying, “Slacking off, fiancée? Arriving at work late is not like you.”She felt warmth from the brisk kiss he gave her on the corner of her lips, even as her brows shot up.“Maybe I am just a slacker. How do you know this isn’t the normal time I resume work daily?”“I know all that I need to know about you, Seraphina,” Adrian said as he offered her his arm. “Tardiness is not one of them.”“I could say you’re stalking me,” Seraphina said as she waved at the guards on their way to her office.“I could argue that I take note of everything that concerns my beloved.”His unexpected statement made her turn to him with a sweet smile creeping onto her face.Their gazes lingered in a warm, drawn-ou
Chapter 460
Geoffrey had held off telling them what he swapped for their freedom because he wanted Helena in a better frame of mind first.He hated that Seraphina was trying to force his hand now.He glared at her and turned to Helena. “We can talk later. Go and have your bath first and…”“Not in my house,” Seraphina said firmly.Helena turned to her in confusion.“When did this become your house? A woman's house is her husband's place, so if you're so eager to claim a house, go to the Jenkins.”Seraphina smiled. “Are you sure you want to go there?”Helena blinked nervously.

Seraphina was still upstairs when the car drove up the driveway.In truth, she had deliberately stayed back, pushing her meetings to later in the day.After all, what was the point in besting your enemies when you couldn't see their faces when they realised it?For a moment, Seraphina wondered if she was becoming too vengeful.“What would you say about this new me, Mama?” she mused in thought.Then she remembered she didn't even have her mother's urn to keep close to her.Geoffrey had known that her mother wanted to be cremated after her death.Helena, who had made herself right at home even before Glenda's body was fully cold, had said, “It's bad luck to have the ashes of your dead wife in my house. She's dead anyway. What's the difference?”Geoffrey had buried her mother's body in the farthest cemetery from time.The memory made Seraphina's hand tighten against the plain silver necklace she most often wore beneath her clothes. Her mother's keepsake.The little doubt she had felt ear
