Chapter 123 - confession (1/2)

Seraphina proceeded with all the arrangements for her that day. By the time she got home, it was past dinner time. For some reason, she felt unease by the unusual quietness of the Yue family manor, thus, she decided to look for her beloved grandfather first.

She went to look for him in his study and his bedroom yet, there is no sign of Sebastian Yue. When she bumped into one of their servants, she inquired.

”Where's Gramps?” However, before the young maid could even answer her inquiry, Ace's figure was spotted at the corner of her eyes. Slowly making his way towards her, Seraphina arcs her brows in skepticism.

”Young Miss, Chairman wants to talk to you. I came to pick you up.” Ace politely spouted.

”Pick me up? Where's my grandpa?” the air surrounding her suddenly became wild and unsafe. It was as if one wrong word and she'll go on a killing spree. Alas, Ace was unfazed and kept his stoic front under her intimidating tone.

”Chairman Yue was admitted to Jin Medical Group. Chairman Yue doesn't want to bother you with your work, so he ordered me to pick you up instead, Miss.” Ace explained calmly. He felt the dangerous aura Seraphina emitted just now and could tell that it was unsafe if she can't control herself.

”Is he fine?” Seraphina breathes slowly, trying to get herself together. Thinking of rational things, she earnestly waited for Ace's response. Ace slightly nodded in reassurement. Without a second delay, Seraphina started walking towards the Yue Family driveway.

”Gramps!” Seraphina almost kicks the door when she reached Sebastian Yue's room. God knows how anxious she was and could not help but overthink.

The moment the door opened, Sebastian Yue was reading a book in an almost sitting position with the hospital bed's slightly inclined. There were few IV drips injected on the back of his hand, a nasal cannula for his breathing and a machine that was monitoring his heart rate.

Hearing Seraphina's anxious yet melodious voice, he turned his head to her direction -- meekly smiling as a welcome greeting.

Seraphina hastily rushed to his side, she spoke anxiously.

”Gramps! Are you fine? Where does it hurt? Why didn't you call me earlier? I almost had a heart attack when Ace came to pick me up! What happened?!” Seraphina showered Sebastian Yue with her inquiries and complaints as she checks him thoroughly.
