Chapter 305 - Hippo (1/2)

Checking the fuel gauge that was almost used up, Rex decided to return to the Yue family mansion. Based on his concise calculation, the fuel they had left would be sufficient to reach the Yue family manor.

Alas, just as Rex turn the wheel for a u-turn, Seraphina emotionlessly ordered; ”my private quarters.” Hearing her d_e_s_i_r_ed destination, Rex glanced at her through the rear mirror before drifting and sped to that specified destination.

Fortunately, Seraphina had given him tasked which he needed weapons for the past month. Hence, with the help of Wren, they prepared a small headquarters to where they can leave their dangerous toys and also, a perfect hideout. Soon, they reached a rural town that was surrounded by woods. It was a quiet place as neighbors lived meters away from each other which is a good location for them.

Stopping in the middle of the forest where the car couldn't pass through due to the narrow and muddy ground, Rex turned his head this time towards the back passenger seat where Seraphina perched.

”Boss, we're here,” he informed but to no avail, Seraphina didn't respond as her eyes fixed on the dim surrounding outside. It took her minutes before she moved and exited the car without a word. Rex, on the other hand, could only suck up with the unsettling silence Seraphina gave off.

When Seraphina exited her ride, another car has arrived; it was Riggs and Ace. However, Seraphina couldn't care less and didn't even turn her head to her men's direction as she moves forward -- going to a place that won't remind her of her loved ones. A place where there wasn't a memory to be reminded off.

She couldn't bring herself going back to the Yue family mansion that would witness her despair for the second time; it will break her… for sure.

Doubts.

Self-blame.

Regrets.

It slowly filled her heart that any moment, it could burst her already shattered heart.

'It hurts… gramps. I think I'm going crazy…' sentiments like that kept on ringing inside her head over and over again. Seraphina was afraid that once she spoke too much, she'll just snap. After all, she has nothing to lose anymore.

Seraphina heedlessly strode forward without knowing that a huge branch was on the way causing her to collide into it. Since Seraphina doesn't have sufficient energy as she barely ate and slept, she lost her footing; causing her to crashed on the soft and sticky earth that instant.
