Chapter 89: Chapter 89
Leo Lynch sighed, holding Mia Redgrave and began speaking: "By the time I got the news, you were already home. I wanted to come see you, but you adamantly refused."
In that state, how could she meet Leo Lynch?
Mia Redgrave, crying, spoke: "Leo, it hurts so much..."
"It’s okay, I’ll take you to the school hospital for a checkup." Leo Lynch held Mia Redgrave, glanced at her wrist, and could even see a circle of red marks.
She was indeed injured.
Why did Seraphina Redgrave end up ?
Ronan Yates, hiding in the bathroom, was dumbfounded watching all this.
Seraphina Redgrave walked along the school path.
Suddenly, she stopped in her tracks without turning around: "Stop hiding."
Ronan Yates jumped out from behind a tree, his eyes scanning Seraphina Redgrave up and down.
Seraphina Redgrave stood still, looking at Ronan Yates: "Why are you following me? Mia Redgrave was crying so miserably, aren’t you going to check on her?"
It was precisely because of what happened earlier that he wanted to ask Seraphina Redgrave.
Ronan Yates stood there awkwardly: "Mia started it."
Leo Lynch only saw the second half, but he saw everything.
When Mia Redgrave lunged at Seraphina Redgrave like a shrew, the once pure image shattered completely. The conversation between the two clearly had nothing to do with Leo Lynch, yet Mia changed her demeanor in front of him.
Ronan Yates almost thought he was going crazy.
It seems that Serena Lowell’s claim that Seraphina bullied Mia might not be that simple.
"Really? What do you want?"
Seraphina Redgrave looked at Ronan Yates, not knowing what to say.
"Uh, I was wrong back at the snack street, and this time too." Ronan Yates sincerely admitted his mistake and finished with a ninety-degree bow: "Sorry."
He came to acknowledge his mistakes.
Seraphina Redgrave still didn’t speak, her face cold.
"I was wrong about the past incidents. If there’s anything you need help with in the future, feel free to ask. I have many friends; as long as you mention it, I can assist." Ronan Yates sincerely apologized for the first time, his expression very unnatural.
After hearing this, Seraphina Redgrave slightly curled her lips: "Alright, you said it yourself."
Having a little brother with lots of friends could be handy.
She’s about to complete a small plan and could use some help.
Ronan Yates looked at Seraphina Redgrave’s expression, feeling she’s genuinely unpretentious: "Hey, what’s your name again? I just heard Mia call you Redgrave..."
"You don’t need to care about that, just tell me where The Law School is." Seraphina Redgrave has been walking for a long time but still doesn’t know where The Law School is.
"It’s in District Five, just walk straight ahead."
Mia Redgrave responded and turned to leave.
Ronan Yates persistently followed behind Mia Redgrave, chattering nonstop: "Why are you going to The Law School? Is there an arts school event happening? No, it shouldn’t be you contacting them. Oh, do you plan to double major? But that’s exhausting..."
Seraphina Redgrave glanced at Ronan Yates: "If you keep following, don’t expect to keep your other hand."
Ronan Yates promptly shut his mouth.
Seraphina Redgrave watched as Ronan Yates finally stopped following her and breathed a sigh of relief, yet he still called out from behind: "Why do you want to double major in law? It’s so tiring, are you planning to change your career?"
"I want to change Country Z."
Seraphina Redgrave quickly walked away.
Ronan Yates stood there, dumbfounded. Double majoring not to enhance her qualifications or career, but to change Country Z?
Ronan Yates felt he’d picked the right big brother, despite Seraphina Redgrave appearing small and skinny, he was very convinced she could achieve it.
Could it be to change the legal system?
Seraphina Redgrave went to the university library, staying a long time in the legal section, borrowing several books, and returned exhausted.
Ever since her exposure, life finally seemed normal.
At least she could read properly now.
No need to pretend to babble incoherently.
"Miss, aren’t you resting yet?" Nanny Lynch brought milk into the study, seeing Seraphina Redgrave reading, couldn’t help but speak: "Staying up late isn’t good for your health, you’ll be too fatigued for class tomorrow."
"Hmm, you go rest first."
Seraphina Redgrave continued diving into the sea of books.
Sovereign University has many books on the history of legal formation, including the establishment and development of restricted zones, and how the current elite system took shape.
Such a learning opportunity, she couldn’t miss.
Nanny Lynch saw Seraphina Redgrave unyielding posture, sighed, and left the room.
Seraphina Redgrave read by lamp, meticulously and methodically finishing a thick book on law swiftly. Late into the night, she finally couldn’t resist, and fell asleep.
Seraphina Redgrave was in deep sleep when suddenly she felt difficulty breathing, half-awake, opened her eyes to find Ethan Sterling’s refined, deep features.
Did she lie on the bed before sleeping?
Seraphina Redgrave drowsily wondered.
Ethan Sterling wrapped around her like an octopus, causing Seraphina Redgrave speechless, thinking Ethan might just be a child?
She pushed the man’s heavy hand off, but within seconds, Ethan wrapped back around her, rendering her immobile.
Seraphina Redgrave was speechless, after several attempts of pushing, she resigned herself and took a deep breath as if nothing happened.
The man’s voice contained boundless fear.
Seraphina Redgrave was startled awake, opened her eyes, and saw Ethan Sterling wearing the same style, different size pajamas sitting opposite her, his expression obscured as she lay down. The latest_epɪ_sodes are on_the Nov3lFɪre.ɴet
Seraphina Redgrave propped herself up from the bed, kneeling beside Ethan Sterling.
Ethan Sterling, sitting on the bed, seemingly just awakened from a nightmare, gasping vigorously, eyes full of fear, lips palely white.
The bedroom was permeated with the aroma of his fear.
Seraphina Redgrave spoke.
Did he have a nightmare or sleepwalk in the middle of the night?
Upon hearing Seraphina Redgrave’s voice, Ethan Sterling’s gaze cleared, emerging thoroughly from the nightmare, he turned to look at her, eyes murky and unclear.
After a long time, he gently caressed Seraphina Redgrave’s cheek, coarse index finger sliding across her delicate lips: "Want to..."
Seraphina Redgrave instantly felt reticent, her gaze on Ethan Sterling icy cold.
Not uttering a word, doing nothing in particular.
If he truly wanted something, he could call Nathan Ayers to bring a girl now; it’s not as if he didn’t know she couldn’t handle it.
In the unlit room, Ethan Sterling stared at Seraphina Redgrave, abruptly embracing her, lowering his head, and kissing her.
Seraphina Redgrave pushed Ethan Sterling’s shoulder: "I can’t. If you’re really feeling hot, I can turn on the air conditioning."
Seraphina Redgrave’s soft little hands clutched his arm.
Her heartbeat was too fast.
"Go grab me a cigarette."
Ethan Sterling spoke, yet as Seraphina Redgrave began descending the bed, he bit her lips hard.
Seraphina Redgrave climbed down, fetched a pack of cigarettes and a metallic lighter from the cabinet, handed them to Ethan Sterling, and switched on the bedside lamp.
Ethan Sterling was already sitting on the bedroom sofa, looking quite unsettled.
Seraphina Redgrave handed him the cigarette, returning to the bed’s side.
Ethan Sterling opened the cigarette box, taking one into his mouth, then with a "snap" ignited the lighter.
The faint flame flickered in the darkness.
