Seeing that Conway was only trying to get her to leave but had no intention of leaving himself, Seraphina said, “If sticking around here doesn’t solve anything, why not come back with me?”
“No worries, I’ve got plenty of energy. I want to stay here with him for a while, Conway replied.
Seraphina paused, then sat next to Conway, draping her arm over his shoulder. “If you’re not leaving, I’ll stay with you too.”
Conway just gave a small smile at that, letting her do as she pleased. When he glanced at the lounge, however, his brow furrowed involuntarily.
Seraphina didn’t seem to notice, just leaning quietly against Conway without saying a word.
Leandro didn’t stay unconscious for long.
Even in his unconscious state, his mental tension didn’t relax. He knew he couldn’t let himself collapse.
When he woke up, he found himself alone in the lounge with an IV bag hanging near his bed and the needle in the back of his hand.
Leandro slowly sat up, holding his forehead.
He felt groggy, but his heart felt empty
He knew he was upset, but what good would that do?
Shaking off his stupor, Leandro yanked the needle from his hand and called out, “Keen!”
Upon hearing Leandro, Keen immediately ran over and opened the door. “Mr. Reynolds.”
Before he could finish, he saw the needle that Leandro had pulled out and was taken aback. “Mr. Reynolds, how could you remove the IV needle yourself?” Leandro didn’t respond, instead covering the puncture wound with one hand as he put on his shoes. “I have a meeting with Europe tonight; are you ready?”
Instead of answering, Keen turned to look behind him.
Leandro looked up to see Conway’s serious face at the door, with Seraphina supporting Conway, her head lowered, not looking at him.
Conway looked at him. I’ve already cancelled your meetings for today, tomorrow, and the day after”
Leandro only furrowed his brows at that “Grandpa, you haven’t been involved in the company’s affairs for a while now.”
“What I care about now isn’t the company, it’s you!” Conway said sternly: “I can’t interfere in your affairs, can 17”
Leandro’s expression remained calm. “Of course not.”
“In that case, you should rest!” Conway looked at the needle on the floor and said seriously. “If you don’t want to rest here, then go home. There’s always a doctor and nurses at home, and it saves you from leaving the staff guessing.”
Just as he finished speaking, a knock sounded from outside the office. Leandro got up and walked to the door to find Yasmina cautiously entering with a document in her hands. She nervously said, “Mr. Reynolds, the finance department sent an urgent document that needs your signature”
“How urgent?” Conway asked sternly. “If it’s not signed in two days, will the Reynolds Group collapse?”
Seeing the situation and hearing these words, Yasmina naturally understood that she’d come at a bad time. But she was forced to come, so she felt wronged and left.
Seeing Conway upset, Seraphina immediately reached out to soothe his back. “Grandpa, why are you so angry? You really scared people!”
“I’m supposed to be angry today!” Conway said, looking at Leandro. “If you refuse to rest, then I’ll personally manage the Reynolds Group’s affairs! It’s your call”
After hearing this, Leandro slowly said, “It’s just a rest, such a small matter, and you’re getting so worked up about it. I’ll go back right away”
Conway still looked serious after hearing this, looking at Keen. “Postpone what can be postponed; delegate what can be delegated. I won’t let him get involved in any company affairs until he’s recovered!”
“Okay,” Keen replied softly.
After agreeing to Conway, when Keen looked at Leandro again, he saw Leandro’s serious expression.
After they left the Reynolds Group and returned to the Reynolds Manor, Leandro underwent treatment again and was told to rest.
When he finally laid down, the day finally calmed down.
As Seraphina was helping Conway to bed, Conway couldn’t help but sigh
“He’s already in bed, so don’t worry,” Seraphina said.
Conway sighed deeply. “I have a responsibility. If I hadn’t handed him the task of reviving the family business, he wouldn’t be like this.”
Seraphina chuckled softly. “He’s a workaholic, which is better than someone who only knows how to squander money”
“The problem is he takes everything upon himself and refuses to let go,” Conway said.
“Why?” Seraphina asked. “Afraid of internal strife?”
“Because he’s been betrayed too many times,” Conway answered. “So he’s reluctant to easily trust others. Because if he trusts the wrong person, it can lead to family breakdown and casualties. I’ve told you there were a few times when he was on the brink of death and if it weren’t for a little luck, he might not be here now. So, you can’t blame him it’s all my fault.”
After saying this, Conway sighed deeply again.
Seraphina couldn’t help but think of Keen.
Leandro had told her before that Keen was an honest man and asked her not to constantly provoke him.
She was confused at the time as to why he would want an honest person by his side instead of someone smarter, but now she understood why.
“Speaking of which, he’s been without a woman by his side all these years, probably because of this Conway said. “People’s hearts are unpredictable; who can he easily trust?”
After saying this, Conway suddenly looked at Seraphina.
Seraphina looked up at him, flashed a smile, and said, “Yeah, women can be puzzling sometimes. Don’t be too trusting, you know.” Property © NôvelDrama.Org.
Conway heard this and let out a helpless sigh.
In the middle of the night, Seraphina woke up from her dream and went downstairs for a drink.
Unexpectedly, she ran into someone at the staircase–the honest guy, Keen.
She pretended to be frightened, almost screaming, but the honest guy quickly covered her mouth, saying, “Don’t shout; I’m here to see Mr. Reynolds!”
Seraphina raised an eyebrow. “Isn’t he resting?”
“If he was really resting, he wouldn’t be himself Keen said, glancing towards the study.
Following his gaze, Seraphina indeed saw the light leaking from the study door.
“He really is a daredevil, Seraphina said.
Keen sighed, “I’m helpless too. I wish Mr. Reynolds could take a good rest, but how could he ever listen to me?”
After saying this, he suddenly glanced at Seraphina again.
Seraphina gave him a quick look, took her cup, and headed downstairs.
