Tangled in His Obsession ( Seraphina )

Chapter 421 

Leandro looked down at Gloria, a rare trace of fatigue appearing in his eyes. 

“Do you even realize what you’re doing?” Leandro asked. 

“I’m sorry…” Gloria still spoke, “I know you care about him, I know you love him… didn’t mean to hurt him, I really didn’t mean to…” 

“He’s your grandson too,” Leandro said slowly, “Your own flesh and blood.” 

These words seemed to pierce Gloria like a sudden, sharp knife, making her feel pained. She had been clinging onto Leandro, but now her grip slightly loosened. 

“He’s just a child, he doesn’t understand anything” Leandro said, “Why can you bear to hurt him, again and again?” 

“Do you 

blame me?” Gloria’s tears fell, her eyes red, “I already said I didn’t mean to hurt him, do you still blame me?” 

“He’s still in the hospital,” Leandro looked at her, speaking slowly, “As a father, I can’t even protect my own child. What else can I do?” 

Gloria took a few steps back, tears still hanging in her eyes, but she started to laugh. 

“Indeed…” she said, “I have hurt your son, I deserve to die! I’m sorry, I’ll pay you back! I’ll compensate you right now!” 

As she spoke, she began frantically searching around the room. 

“Where’s my knife? Where’s my knife?” she was looking for something, babbling nonsense, “I’ll pay you back! I’ll thoroughly pay with my life!” 

Leandro watched her irrational behavior silently. After a long while, he finally spoke again, “What will it take for you to let yourself off the hook?” 

Upon hearing his words, Gloria’s movements froze. 

Let herself off the hook… Leandro had said those words to her countless times since he was a child. Gloria never really listened, but this time, she seemed to suddenly understand what he meant. 

“Do you really hate me that much, you want me to atone with my death?” Gloria asked, “Your father doesn’t want me, now even you don’t want me anymore… Fine, fine!” 

Gloria said “fine” twice, then abruptly turned and rushed towards the wall! 

Leandro was always prepared, seeing her action, he quickly stepped forward and grabbed her. 

Gloria struggled a few times, but finally couldn’t hold back her tears. 

“You and your father are tormenting me, all you do is tormenting me-” Gloria’s eyes were terrifyingly red, “He only thinks about that woman! He only cares about that woman! And you even married that woman’s daughter! Even Valerio is her son! You are driving me insane!” 

She accused them with all her might, Leandro listened quietly. After a long while, he finally spoke in a low voice, “Maybe it was my fault since the beginning.” 

In the end, the police took Gloria away from the Reynolds family. 

Karan was frantic, her eyes red, constantly tugging at Leandro, “In her state, how can she be taken away by the police? She’ll break down!” 

Leandro stood at the front door, watching the police car gradually drive away, he remained silent. 

Herman Garcia arrived as the police car passed by, he parked his car in front of Leandro, getting out with a serious expression, “Leandro, what on earth is going on?” 

Leandro seemed to have expected him to come, he fell silent for a moment, then finally spoke, “You’re part of the force, help me out. There must always be someone with my mother. If anything happens to her, I will hold someone accountable.” 

Herman sighed upon hearing this. Regardless of Leandro’s orders, the Reynolds family’s standing and Gloria’s status meant the police would handle this matter with utmost 

care. 

However, this dramatic incident in such a family was bound to cause a stir. 

“Leandro-” Karan still looked worriedly at Leandro. 

“Don’t worry, I will handle it,” Leandro said slowly, “Before that, I need you to help me confirm who leaked Valerio’s identity to my mother.” 

Upon hearing this, Karan froze. 

After a brief meeting, Herman accompanied Leandro to the hospital. 

On the way, Leandro received a call from Keen. 

“Mr. Reynolds, the lawyer has arrived at the police station, and a team of authoritative psychologists has been assembled and is on the way to the police station,” Keen said cautiously, “Mrs. Reynolds shouldn’t have to stay at the station for too long.” 

Leandro didn’t say much, only replying, “Let me know when it’s taken care of.” 

“Are you considering having your mother undergo compulsory treatment?” Herman asked. 

Leandro looked out the window, speaking slowly, “Maybe I should have taken this step a long time ago.” 

Hearing this, Hermary replied softly, “After all these years, it might not hurt to try a different approach. Although no one can predict the outcome, maybe things will turn around?” 

Leandro continued to gaze out the window, not responding. 

Herman paused, saying nothing more. It was difficult enough for Leandro to make this decision in light of the circumstances. Any more consolation would be superfluous. 

Herman knew that Leandro was strong and wouldn’t be crushed by such an incident. 

When they arrived back at the hospital, it was already the afternoon. 

When Leandro had left, only Seraphina was in Valerio’s room. Now, both Conway and Andrea were there. 

Valerio was awake, nestled quietly in Seraphina’s arms. Andrea and Conway sat next to them, trying their best to make him laugh. 

Andrea was holding an iPad, playing Valerio’s favorite show. She was adjusting the videos while explaining it to him, trying unmoved. 

It wasn’t until Leandro walked through the door that Valerio’s face showed any sign of change. 

to attract his attention, but Valerio remained 

“Finally, you’re here.” Upon seeing him and Herman, Conway didn’t say much, only remarking, “Valerio had been looking for you since he woke up.” 

Leandro looked at Valerio’s still pale face, took slow steps to the bedside, and bent down to gently take his small hand. “Sorry, I thought I could get some work done while 

you were asleep, so I stepped out for a bit. I didn’t expect you to wake up so quickly… Does your hand still hurt?” 

At the mention of his hand, Valerio flinched slightly, then slowly nodded. He was still very scared, but with both Leandro and Seraphina there, it seemed like his sense of security was restored. 

Valerio leaned into Seraphina’s embrace, his other hand clutching Leandro’s, reluctant to let go. 

Seraphina glanced at Valerio’s actions, then subtly turned her face away, saying nothing.
