Chapter 188

In this world, time had the ability to water down everything.

No matter how deep or heavy the pain was, given enough time, it’ll eventually heal

But what if she hid this pain?

Never talked about it, never shew it to anyone, and even pretended to forget it herself.

This kind of wound will never heal. One day, when it opened up again, it’ll still be bloody and getting

deeper.

Just like right now.

Sandra once said that when Betty passed away, she barely cried, as if she weren’t that sad.

But how could she possibly not be sad?

She was just too afraid to be sad.

“Betty wouldn’t blame you” Leandro whispered, “If she were to blame anyone, it would be me”

Seraphina was crying uncontrollably, as if she couldn’t hear his words.

“Give me Betty’s old photos. Leandro said.

Those pains and sorrows she dared not face, he’s willing to bear for her.

Even though he knew some pain cannot be shared, it’s still better for two people to suffer than one.

Seraphina’s emotions didn’t calm down for a long time.

It’s been a long time since she had such a breakdown, and this time, it was in front of Leandro.

She could bear it, but ever since she returned to Sunburst City, Betty’s matter kept coming up again

and again, making her unable to find peace in another world.

The guilt in her heart finally had nowhere to hide.

This was originally none of his business, but he said he was the child’s father.

Betty was only three years old when she passed away, and if not specifically mentioned, she couldn’t

really understand the meaning of parents.

But Betty had playmates living in the same apartment; her playmates had dads and moms, so the little

guy would occasionally ask her, “Mom, where is my dad? Why do my friends have both a mom and a

dad, but I only have a mom?”

Her curious dad, was him

Seraphina gave Leandro a cloud disk account, where all traces of Betty’s past were stored–traces she

dared not look back on.

Leandro went to the video room alone, while Seraphina sat alone in his office, lost in thought for a long

time.

She didn’t know how long Leandro was gone until Yasmina cautiously came in, changed her cup of ice

water, and then whispered to her: “Ms. Bennett, it’s almost two o’clock, you haven’t eaten anything,

would you like me to order something for you?”

Seraphina shook her head.

Yasmina hesitated for a moment, then said again: “Mr. Reynolds instructed me not to be disturbed

when he went to the video room. He’s sick and has been working for several days in a row, we’re all

worried Mr. Reynolds won’t be able to handle it.”

Seraphina didn’t answer her.

Seeing her expression, Yasmina didn’t know what else to say, so she quietly left.

After sitting for a while, Seraphina slowly stood up and left the office.

The Reynolds Group specially allocated a floor as an employee recreation area with six video rooms,

all like cinemas.

Seraphina pushed open the doors of the first five video rooms, all were empty.

She stood at the door of the sixth room for a long time, then finally gently pushed it open.

As soon as the door was slightly opened, she heard familiar laughter.

Seraphina instinctively wanted to leave, but she couldn’t take a step, even the hand that opened the

door couldn’t be withdrawn.

Betty’s laughter kept coming from the door crack, she was laughing, she was playing, she was

screaming, and she was calling her, “Mom! Mom!”

Seraphina finally couldn’t help it, she peeked in through the crack of the door.

On the big screen, Betty was happily running on the grass in the park, as if she were playing hide and

seek with the servant recording the video. Just as the servant was about to catch her, she suddenly

changed direction and ran towards Seraphina, who was sitting under the tree reading a book.

Seraphina was concentrating on her book when she was suddenly pounced on by Betty. She could

only drop the book in her hand and hold her tightly. saying, “Gotcha“”

Betty immediately started screaming and laughing. The mother and daughter were playing under the

tree.

Leandro was sitting quietly in the middle seat, occasionally he couldn’t help but cough, but looking at

the mother and daughter laughing on the screen, he couldn’t help but smile.

The scenes on the screen had been playing for over four hours; most of them were similar, but he

seemed to never get enough, always watching attentively

Until suddenly, there was someone beside him.

Leandro turned his head and saw Seraphina.

She was quietly watching the big screen, always expressionless

Until Betty’s round little face appeared on the screen again, and the voice next to her was the servant

saying to her, “Come on, mom’s going to study. Betty, send a birthday message to mom!”

So Betly immediately started singing the birthday song to the camera, clapping her hands to the beat

as she sang. After she finished singing, she leaned in front of the camera, her eyes wide open, and

said, “Mom, happy birthday! Be happy every day! I love you!”

After she finished, she pouted her mouth and kissed the camera, her little face distorted by the close–

up.

Seraphina couldn’t help but laugh, but immediately after, tears uncontrollably flowed down her face.

Leandro reached out and held her hand tightly

“She loves you a lot “Leandro said, “Because she knows how much you love her.”

Seraphina raised her hand to cover her eyes and then started crying again.

Leandro lifted the armrests between them and once again held her in his arms.

Her body was cold, and his body was warm, the combined temperature was surreal.

In her short twenty–something years, she seemed to always be searching for someone to lean on.

Before she was ten, her support was her dad.

After her dad passed away, her support came from her mom.

After her mom left her, her support was the Reynolds family and her Grandpa.

After she turned sixteen, her support was Leandro

Before she lost him, she had already lost too much; she once considered him her only, and for a long

time, she couldn’t get rid of the pain of losing him.

When she first arrived at Starhaven, she was all jittery and scared. Her hopes of reconciling with her

mom were dashed. Add to that the worry and fear of being pregnant, plus all the intense bodily

changes that came with it. She was just 18, and all these issues were bearing down on her. Even

though she put on a brave face during the day, she couldn’t help but sneak away to have a good cry in

the dead of night.

Even though she felt like all hope was lost, she’d still see him in her dreams on those nights.

In her dreams, he was her rock.

But when she woke up, all she had was herself and the baby in her belly.

She woke up from these dreams over and over again, until she finally came to terms with reality.

From that point on, the baby became her rock.

But in the end, she still lost that rock.

It seemed like she was always losing until losing became a habit and all that was left was her.

When she finally learned to stop looking for new rocks and face everything on her own, his arms were

there for her once again.
