CHAPTER 110: CHAPTER 110: SERAPHINA’S ABNORMAL BEHAVIOR

"Bang!"

Nanny Lynch’s voice was lost in the crash.

The hum of the engine stopped, all the noise settled into silence, while sparrows dashed across the sky in panic.

"Ah!!!"

Following that, Granny Coleman’s piercing cries were heard.

Seraphina Redgrave stopped in her tracks, slowly turned around, and saw Lena Lynch’s black Mercedes forcibly halted.

What stopped the car was Nanny Lynch’s body.

To prevent Lena’s car from hitting Seraphina, she used her own life to block the speeding vehicle.

A scene of blood red.

Seraphina looked at everything before her, her breath frozen, even her pupils trembled.

The bodyguards quickly reacted, rushing to the front of Lena’s car. Lena looked flustered, but she reacted swiftly, reaching for something beside her.

In that instant, Seraphina immediately understood Lena’s intent, her expression filled with intense hatred as she looked at Lena.

"Stop right there!" Seraphina yelled angrily.

But Lena still changed gears and reversed the car.

"Bang!"

The sound was so loud it sent chills down one’s spine.

As the car reversed, Nanny Lynch’s body rolled out from under the tires, lying quietly on the cold ground, a stark red underneath her, like a frozen photograph.

Some bodyguards attempted to seize Lena, but the captain held them back, "Don’t go, protect Miss is more important. Who knows if they have other plans."

Their task was only to protect Miss.

The bodyguards surrounded Seraphina Redgrave, protecting her in the center, not daring to make any more mistakes.

Nanny Lynch was quickly sent to the emergency room.

The "In Surgery" light above the emergency room door stayed lit, while Seraphina sat silently in the wheelchair Nanny Lynch had once eagerly pushed for her, her eyes fixed on the emergency room door.

Granny Coleman was in tears, occasionally clasping her hands together, praying for mercy, asking for Nanny Lynch to be spared.

Time continued to turn relentlessly, yet every second felt like torment to Seraphina.

No one knew what news would emerge once the door opened.

After an unknown period, the emergency room door opened, and Seraphina’s hands gripping the wheelchair arms suddenly clenched into fists.

Granny Coleman cried as she grabbed the doctor’s hand, "Doctor, is it okay? Is the person inside alright?"

The doctor sighed, "I’m sorry."

"Is it severe? It can’t be..."

Granny Coleman mechanically spoke, long after did she react, breaking down into tears, "It can’t be, she was just bickering with me, full of life, how could she just go like this, doctor please, try again, I beg you."

"My condolences."

The doctor steadied Granny Coleman who nearly knelt before him.

Granny Coleman cried with deep sadness, eventually turning to Seraphina, full of grief.

Seraphina sat in the wheelchair, expressionless, not even furrowing her brow, just quietly staring at the extinguished "In Surgery" sign, like a puppet devoid of emotion.

Granny Coleman, holding back great sorrow, ran to Seraphina, crying, "Miss, what’s wrong with you?"

Seraphina remained seated, never blinking, slowly opened her mouth, as if speaking to herself, "I thought I was strong, but it turns out I’m not."

What did those words mean?

Granny Coleman grasped Seraphina’s icy hand, worriedly, "Miss, if you’re upset just cry, holding it in will harm your health."

"I can’t."

Seraphina spoke coldly.

"Miss..."

Granny Coleman stared blankly at Seraphina.

Nanny Lynch died because of Miss, why won’t Miss cry?

"Thousands die in the restricted zone every year, if I cried for all, I’d have died from crying."

Seraphina coldly looked at Granny Coleman, "Don’t ever do something like this; I won’t shed a single tear for you."

Why is Miss like this?

Granny Coleman, shocked, looked at Seraphina, how could she say such things when Nanny Lynch died for her!

"Back to Hibiscus Garden."

After saying this, Seraphina didn’t spare Granny Coleman a glance, pressing the control buttons herself, heading out.

After a short distance, Seraphina suddenly stopped and said, "The dumplings Nanny Lynch made for me are still in the ward, they should still be there, bring them to me."

After issuing this command, she didn’t look back, continuing on.

She could walk fine, yet she remained seated in the wheelchair.

Granny Coleman looked at Seraphina’s heartless demeanor, feeling more sorrow than anger.

At midnight, Seraphina was still in Hibiscus Garden.

Hibiscus Garden was brightly lit, bodyguards stationed at every exit, while only the roses in the garden bloomed.

Just then, the sound of screeching tires was heard outside.

A man’s trench coat fluttered in the wind, stepping over a wilting rose, hurrying back from outside.

Ethan Sterling’s expression was extremely grim, Nathan Ayers also furrowed his brows, following Ethan silently.

"Young Master Sterling, why are you so late?"

Granny Coleman approached Ethan, bent over.

Nathan Ayers looked at Granny Coleman, slightly displeased, "Mind your tone."

How dare she speak to Young Master Sterling that way?

This accident only cost Nanny Lynch’s life, knowing Young Master Sterling’s ways, Nathan didn’t dare report directly, waiting until the banquet ended to explain everything.

Indeed, Ethan only asked about Seraphina’s condition, just as Nathan expected.

With Young Master Sterling, it’s the ones he favors who receive his protection, never considering someone like Nanny Lynch, a maid.

"Where is Seraphina?"

Under the deep night, Ethan’s expression wasn’t pleasant as he glanced at Granny Coleman.

Speaking of Seraphina, Granny Coleman immediately worriedly answered, "Young Master Sterling, Miss is very strange now, neither crying nor causing a scene, just eating the dumplings Nanny Lynch made. Who knows how many bowls she’s had."

Nanny Lynch cooked a whole pot before the accident.

Miss asked for it, so she brought the whole pot, who knew Miss intended to eat it all.

"Miss shouldn’t eat such sticky food, Young Master..."

Before Granny Coleman could finish, Ethan stormed inside the villa, faster than before.

Entering the dining room, Ethan spotted Seraphina’s frail figure. She sat alone in the wheelchair, emotionless, before her a pot of dumplings, a bowl beside her, filled with them.

She seemed to have completely lost her emotions, coldly sitting there, mechanically scooping up a dumpling with a porcelain spoon, placing it in her mouth, chewing and swallowing.

Even like this, it was clear that swallowing was difficult.

"Enough!"

Ethan stepped forward, smashing the bowl by Seraphina’s side, "Your health just recovered, do you wish to ruin it again?"

How could she eat this stuff?

The ceramic bowl shattered completely, soup and dumplings splattering across the floor.

Seraphina remained silent, even the sudden appearance of Ethan couldn’t make her look up.

She placed the spoon on the table, stood, and crouched down, picking up the dumplings on the floor, the sticky dumplings clinging to her palm, as if Nanny Lynch held her hand.
