    "Hang in there! The doctor will be here soon."


    Orion wanted to seize the opportunity to make some requests, but Seraphina''s phone rang suddenly.


    He caught a glimpse of the name on the screen.


    It was Wilson.


    His heart thumped a little.


    "It''s sote. What could he possibly want from you?"


    Orion couldn''t hide his emotions at all-jealousy, anger, and the urge to do something drastic surged within him.


    "Work, Seraphina replied nonchntly.


    She had no intention of exining further; there was no need.


    After that, she stood up and intended to take the call outside.


    Orion watched her stand up and leave the room.


    The mes of anger flickered in his eyes.


    He was consumed with jealousy,


    Without thinking, he remained silent and moved to the doorway to eavesdrop.


    Seraphina answered the call, but it wasn''t Wilson. It was Dani.


    "Ms. Lovely, it''s only been a few hours, but I already miss you. Do you miss me?"


    "Of course, I miss you. I miss you a lot."


    Her gentle voice dropped, soft and soothing, yet it only made the man behind the door more bitter. His expression grew even colder and hurt.


    After ending the call, she walked back into the room, only to see Orion standing there.


    His presence was heavy with a suffocating mix of sorrow and rage. The look in his eyes was a mixture of fury and deep pain.


    Stunned, Seraphina frowned and asked, "You...


    Orion cut her off and fixed his gaze directly at her. He asked, "You''re just pretending to be with him for business purposes, right?"

    The corners of his eyes turned red when the words left his mouth.


    He desperately wanted her response but was afraid of

    Seraphina remained silent for a few seconds, trying to steady her suddenly racing heart. But in the next moment, a realization hit her-Orion was standing! Hadn''t he fallen from the stairs and injured himself?


    Isn''t he supposed to be weak due to the fever


    Whatever sympathy Seraphina had for him vanished instantly, reced by disbelief and anger.


    This is ridiculous. Orion is full of lies.


    She raised her head and looked at him indifferently.Exclusive content ? by N?(v)el/Dr/ama.Org.


    Her voice was nonchnt and carried a hint of coldness. "Why would you think we''re pretending? We''re about to make it real."


    Orion''s pupils shrank, and his eyes reddened instantly.


    But she remained unmoved.


    One look at him, and her barely restrained anger bubbled up.


    "Alright, don''t interrupt my date. I''m leaving now."


    Seraphina gritted her teeth. She turned to leave, not wanting to stay a second longer.


    If she did, she feared she might lose control and cripple him.


    But before she could reach the door, Orion swiftly moved in front of her, blocking her path. His hands pressed her shoulders, pinning her against the wall.


    He smiled involuntarily, a mix of desperation and sorrow etched on his face. Despite his own torment, he gently stroked her hair, as though trying tofort a restless kitten. "Don''t leave, Seraphina. I was wrong. I''m still sick; I still have a fever. You can''t just leave me like this."


    His voice was tender, almost drowning her in affection as he coaxed her. But the redness in the corner of his eyes and the slight tremble of his hands gave away his panic. Orion was terrified.


    Terrified of losing her forever.


    He kept telling himself not to be mad and that it didn''t matter even if Seraphina really chose Wilson.


    He had a thousand ways to keep her tied to his life-forever.


    Seraphina was unimpressed. She pushed him away easily. She was much stronger than the feigning-sick Orion and let out a coldugh. "Well, you''d better stay in bed then. The doctor will be here soon. Without another werd che turned and left

    Had Seraphina not figured out Orion was faking his sickness, she might have found this strange.


    Seeing her approach, Ken hurried to meet her.

    You could be spending more time with boss.


    Seraphina shot him a cold, piercing nce, devoid of any warmth.


    Ken froze for a second. In the next moment, he saw Orion rushing down the stairs, moving swiftly and decisively. Instantly, Ken understood.
