Chapter 245 - unwelcomed gift (1/2)

”Don't forget that I'm a doctor -- I don't specialize psychology but I know a thing or two so, patient, why won't you give this doctor a chance for a therapy?”

Liam's tone was husky and deep -- the very opposite of the usual tone he usually uses. By his tensed and slightly trembling shoulder, Seraphina could tell how anxious and hurt he must felt towards her words. Yet, Seraphina could also feel her heart clenched.

”Sera… I -- can we work this out?” Liam added as if pleading her to stay. After all the years, he finally got the chance to show his feelings to her, thus, he still wanted to hold on to her. It pained him to see that his love was slowly slipping away from him, again.

Hence, he cannot give up. He already knew that Seraphina is not what she seems to be but he always chooses to turn a blind eye to it. However, to him, he believes that the Seraphina he knew was always inside her -- deep beneath her heart.

”Liam --” alas, just as Seraphina would reject Liam for the last time, a loud alarm rang out to Liam's office indicating an emergency. Both of them were slightly stunned by the call hence, Liam immediately loosens his grip to Seraphina as he rushed to his office phone.

After Liam accepted the call, his eyes dilate as he turns his shocked gaze to her. Without a second delay after the brief call, he grabbed his coat and headed outside -- passing by her.

”Liam? What's happening?” Seraphina inquired as she felt that something was odd. Soon, a nurse who obviously rushed her way to his office came into sight.

”Doctor, Chairman Yue's vitals are unstable and not within normal limits.”

”Hand me his recent statistics,” Liam commanded as he went straight to the VVIP floor where their valued patients were admitted.

The moment Seraphina heard her grandfather's name, her whole world came to a full halt as her steps also stop. She could only watch Liam's rushing back like a fool. ”Gramps…” calling out her grandfather, Seraphina's mind was muddled -- or to be precise, it malfunction.

All possible scenarios went instantly on Seraphina's head and the fact that chairman Sebastian Yue might lose his life -- she can't take it just yet. She felt she was losing her sanity for a moment just thinking about it.

A painstaking dagger pricked her heart as if immobilizing her whole being -- crippling her that instant. Seraphina felt heavier and heavier with every passing second as she pushed herself to take a step forward with great effort.

One step.

Two steps.

Three steps.

Until her whole numb body got used to the forceful gravity that tries to stop her every step. She didn't know when she got into the elevator and arrived at the certain VVIP private hospital room.

The moment she arrives at her grandfather's room, the door was already burst opened. Seraphina can clearly see the glimpse of her grandfather as they manually ventilate him. Even from the distant, Seraphina could definitely hear his decreasing heart rate by the beeping sound coming from the heart rate monitor.
