A Futile Attempt to Make Up


    #Finished


    As soon as Justin saw Orion, he quickly hung up the phone and warned, "What are you doing here? There''s no one to back you up this time."


    In the past, Orion had always relied on his group of people to throw out Justin whenever he refused to leave. It was sheer bullying and deep humiliation! Orion''s dark eyes flickered. He said, "I have a friend who''s a psychologist. I came to make the connection."


    Any psychologist rmended by Orion wouldn''t be just anyone.


    However, Justin immediately rejected the offer.


    He said. "No need. Sivir has already arranged everything. You don''t have to worry about it."


    Orion wanted to say something, but Sergio also agreed with Justin. He politely refused his help.


    After all, seeing a psychologist involved personal privacy and vulnerabilities.


    Seraphina surely wouldn''t want Orion to know her weaknesses.


    Late at night, Justin rested on the couch outside Seraphina''s room.


    Orion sat by Seraphina''s bedside, silently watching her. Her expression shifted between tension, fear, and calm...


    He was wide awake and had a growing ache in his heart.


    She appeared so strong on the outside, but the aftermath of fear was too much-what she had been through was more than he could bear to watch.


    The night air was cold. Seraphina groaned softly, her eyes flicking open with a misty gaze. She muttered faintly.


    "Water..."


    Quickly, a cup of warm water was pressed to her lips and a straw ced near her mouth.


    After quenching her thirst, her awareness slowly returned, and she saw Orion.


    She opened her mouth to speak. Orion leaned closer, his movements gentle, in an attempt to catch her words.


    "Orion..."


    She called his name.


    He felt as though someone had dropped a stone into his heart, sending waves of warmth and softness throughout.


    It had been so long since shest called his name.


    Seraphina, what do you need?"

    In the stillness of the night, under the shadowed room, his voice was impossibly tender.


    Seraphina was half asleep, and her voice was weak.


    She whispered, "Orion, go away."


    With that, she had no strength left to say anything more and fell back into unconsciousness.N?velDrama.Org holds text ? rights.


    Naturally, she didn''t see the change in Orion''s face when he heard her words-the light that had flickered in his eyes, now dimming into darkness.


    His gentle expression slowly shattered, piece by piece.


    For a long time, the silence consumed the night. It leaves the room full of gloom and suffocating pressure.


    Finally, he reached out slowly and touched her hair.


    His voice was low and hoarse as he said, "Alright...


    Two dayster, the cruise docked, and Justin and Sergio hurriedly brought Seraphina back to the city on a private jet.

    With the best doctors and top-tier equipment, Seraphina''s physical wounds quickly began to heal under careful attention.


    Very few people knew she had returned safely.


    During this time, apart from the Crosses and the medical staff, no one came to disturb her.


    To ensure she got the rest she needed, Emeris decided not to announce her return for the time being and kept the news hidden.


    A psychologist came by daily to monitor Seraphina''s mental recovery. Her resilience was strong; her psychological defenses hadn''t copsed, and she was steadily improving.


    Sergio returned to his research at the university, continuing his secret project.

    Sivir, meanwhile, juggled his responsibilities at the hospital and thepany, tirelessly moving between both withoutint.


    Everyone at thepany could sense a shift in the atmosphere. The gloomy, oppressive mood caused by Seraphina''s ident seemed to lift as Sivir''s smiles grew more frequent. Thepany''s atmosphere slowly uplifts. Justin and Emeris spent their days by Seraphina''s side eating, chatting, and watching shows with her.


    Especially Justin-this celebrity, who had people waiting on him hand and foot, now found himself fetching tea, serving water, and exining the gossip of the actors they were watching on TV.
