Chapter 225 - keep your distance (1/2)
After he stole a kiss from her, Dragon's wicked grin disappear and slowly turned to a bitter smile. Ezt who was silently on the side witness his Master's 360-degree change of persona.
”Why does she have to always lie?” Dragon murmurs bitterly. The sole reason why he showed himself to Seraphina was to confirm something. Since he had a shared history with Seraphina, he vaguely knows her train of thought and her twisted mentality yet, he can't understand why would she always keep everything to herself.
”Ezt, she does hate me just like how she hated that person,” Dragon added in a ridiculing tone. That fact is confirmed by the way Seraphina looks at him and cursed him deeply in her heart. It was as if he could hear swearing loudly -- screaming on his ears which give him an awful feeling.
Even so, though she does hate him to the core, Dragon was somewhat relieved that she wasn't just playing around and knows where she was heading. Alas, he was concern about using Liam Jin as one of her pawns. After all, Liam Jin knew the fact that she was pregnant since Max had a mishap about that particular information and didn't tamper her medical reports due to the other parties meddling.
But, Seraphina's medical record now was clear of pregnancy which made Liam Jin a suspicious person around her.
”Ezt, leave this note to one of her trusted men, tell him about her condition and leave Liam Jin's name behind. Let him have his other eye on that man.” When Dragon spat his order to Ezt, he stood from the bed and glance at Seraphina for the last time before retracting them and wordlessly left.

Wren: ”Is she still breathing?”
X: ”Hey, don't be dumb.”
”Boss, oy --” Riggs called out as he lightly pokes Seraphina on the side causing her eyes beneath her lids flicker.
Earlier, while they were solemnly planning and studying the whole blueprint of the state prison where Wesley We was taking refuge, Seraphina kept murmuring stuff which distracted them.
If it was just simple words, they could only consider that it was probably the drug taking effect on her. Alas, Seraphina started to produce sweats and the blanket that was wrapped around her was evidently shaking -- meaning, her body was trembling beneath the comforter which alarmed her subordinate.
Riggs immediately freed her body and only covered her lower body to protect her little dignity. One after another, each of them draw closer to Seraphina's standpoint with a complex expression plastered on their faces.
Slowly, Seraphina's eyelashes flutter along with her eyelids as she opens her eyes. The moment her vision cleared, the first thing she saw was Wren, X and Riggs' worried faces looking down at her.
