Chapter 22
“She is not dead, she is just in shock. People who have been in prison are not as vulnerable as you think. She is just play tricks,” Emily said lightly.
Some people were still worried with one of them enquiring, “Then when will she wake up?”
“How do I know? I’m not a doctor,” Emily said confidently, picked up his purse, and walked out leisurely, as if nothing had happened.
Looking at the cold hearted nature of Emily, everyone in the room was dumbfounded.
When they realized that they had been used as a spear by Emily, the blood on Seraphina’s forehead had already flowed from the table to the door.
SAME TIME, ROYAL GARDEN VILLA
“And they loved happily ever after as princes turned into his real form again from the hideous beast due to the power of love and…”
Kaelan continued the story, only for him to come across his phone which rang suddenly.
“Can I please pick up the call, honey bun?“, Kaelan asked his Seraphinaana as he saw the name of the manager flashing on the screen
“Okey dad.“, Listening to his father’s request Seraphinaana nodded sensibly, picked up the storybook, and waited quietly and patiently, neither making a noise nor making a fuss.
Soon after which Kaelan went outside the room to attend the call and as he picked up the call, he frowned impatiently, “What’s the matter?”
“Mr. Winters, something happened, Seraphina… she…” Manager of Malena’s Meadow hesitated.
“Let’s talk about the main point.” Kaelan urged unhappily, as he had developed a bad feeling in his heart regards to such a late night call.
“Seraphina, died of alcohol poisoning“, The manager uttered in shock without skipping a second
Hearing this, Kaclan’s body stiffened, and his heart was pulled. For the first time, he questioned his hearing
“Say it again, what’s wrong with Seraphina?”
“Alcohol poisoning, she’s not breathing anymore and I guess she is no more“, The manager again related
Chapter 22
his words.
“Have you lost your mind or what?“, Kaelan shouted out of anger also trying to supress his voice so that it shouldn’t reach Seraphinaana’s room
“We are taking her to the hospital, sir“, The manager added more detail of the situation.
And thus without wasting any moment further he almost ran out of his villa ordering the maid to take care of Seraphinaana, who was still waiting for his dad to come back in the room.
On the way to the hospital, Kaelan’s hand gripping the steering wheel was so hard that his knuckles
turned white.
His face was tensed, his entire body exuded an icy aura that no strangers should be near, and there were stabbing pains in his chest with random thoughts in his mind
Didn’t he always hate Seraphina? Why did he not only feel happy when he heard the news that she was not breathing but instead felt anxious and uneasy?
Was that stubborn woman really dead?
AFTER A WHILE, HOSPITAL
Seraphina was indeed out of breath when she was rushed to the emergency room. In addition, she had lost too much blood. The doctors helplessly shook their heads and prepared to announce her death.
At this moment, the door was kicked open with brute force. Kaelan walked in, his face gloomy and terrifying. Beside him was Oliver and several doctors in white coats.
The leading doctor was a world–renowned CPR expert. Oliver’s father, Bernard Kensington who was also the director of the hospital.
“Director,” the doctors shouted respectfully, automatically moving out of the way.
“Open lung resuscitation, prepare for an electric shock.” Bernard’s strong and powerful voice resounded through the ward.
Kaelan and Oliver cooperated and retreated to the side, their faces solemn, and neither of them said anything.
“Turn up the power!”
“More!”
Seeing that Seraphina was shaken by the electric shocks time and time again, but there was no sign of waking up, Kaelan’s heart clenched into a ball.
Chapter 22
“Director, the patient has no vital signs. Give up?”
“It’s not time to give up yet.” Bernard threw away the defibrillator, rolled up his sleeves, and skillfully began to perform CPR for Seraphina.
Perhaps it was Director Bernard’s sincerity that touched the God, or perhaps it was Seraphina’s very strong desire to survive. After more than 20 electric shocks and more than half an hour artificial CPRs, her heart miraculously restarted.
THREE DAYS LATER,
Seraphina woke up from her coma.
The dazzling sunlight shone on her face, making her feel uncomfortable. She raised her hands to cover up, but found that the backs of both hands were laced with IV needles.
With the thoughts, Isn’t she already dead? Why do she still have to come to the hospital for needles?
In a trance, Seraphina tried her best to recall what had happened before.
She was pressed to the ground by Emily’s friends. They kept pouring alcohol in her. Until now, her throat still felt uncomfortable, and she wanted to vomit.
The image of humiliation lingered in her mind, and demonic laughter lingered in her ears. Seraphina felt like she had fallen into a dark and bottomless abyss.
It turned out that she was not dead, she was still alive, but she felt more uncomfortable than dying because of which tears rolled down her eyes.
The nurse who was doing the rounds pushed open the door and came in to find that Seraphina was awake and happily walked forward.
“Great, you’re finally awake. Huh? Why are you crying?”
Seraphina tugged at the corner of her mouth awkwardly and explained with difficulty, “Rebirth after a catastrophe is too exciting, it made me cry.”
“Understood“, The nurse smiled gently and brought a glass of warm water with a straw in it for Seraphina to drink.
“Drink some water, your voice is hoarse.”
“Thank you.”
After drinking the water, Seraphina felt a little better.

At this moment, the door of the ward was pushed open with great force. Kaclan’s tall and straight figure.
came into view.
He didn’t need to say anything. But only gave a sharp look, and the nurse left the ward.
When she saw Kaelan getting closer, Seraphina did not know what he was going to do.
“You are awake.” The low and cold voice slowly sounded, but she could not hear any emotions.
Seraphina was so nervous that she forgot to speak.
Her silence angered Kaelan. He lost his patience and leaned over to squeeze her chin, forcing her to look
at him.
“Every time you see me, you pretend to be dumb. It seems that you don’t want that tongue anymore. Then I’ll call someone to cut it right away.”
“I’m not pretending.” Seraphina’s entire body was tense. She raised her pale face and explained in a weak
voice but did not resist.
The more she resisted, the more painful it would be.
“I just didn’t expect you to come to the hospital. I was so surprised that I didn’t know what to say.
Hearing the explanation, Kaelan calmed down a little and let go of Seraphina.
“I have something to ask you. Tell the truth and don’t play tricks.”
Seraphina pursed her lips numbly, and her heart tugged, “What do you want to ask?”
Kaelan stared at her. “Why do you still drink when you know that you are allergic to alcohol? Are you tired of living and want to die, or are you playing tricks?”
Seraphina clenched the sheets tightly and laughed miserably in her heart, trying to hold back her tears.
She had to admire Emily’s methods, doing bad things but leaving herself clean.
And she had been tortured and suffered so much that she almost died, but in the end, she was considered
to be playing tricks.
“What do you think?”
“I’m asking you now, I didn’t let you ask me.” Kaelan did not like Seraphina’s tone of questioning him. His eyes were dangerous and full of warning.
Seraphina suppressed her pain and slowly said, “Do you believe me if I say that your beloved, Emily
Chapter 22
Williams forced me to drink and even let a dozen people drink me?”
“Impossible!” Kaelan denied without thinking. His eyes became sharper, obviously blaming Seraphina for
her nonsense.
“Emily is not that kind of person.”
Kaelan had never believed in her, but she was unwilling to let it go. There was still hope hidden in her heart, hoping that he would believe her once, even just once.
“I’m not lying, it’s Emily.”
Kaelan paused and asked coldly, “Why should I believe you?”
