Chapter 124 - wanna burn some fats?

When Seraphina exited Sebastian Yue's hospital room, Liam Jin was just standing outside the door. His easily predicted expression was the first thing Seraphina noticed. It will only take one glimpse to tell that he was troubled and hesitant on what to say to her.

Even with the fact that he is a doctor, Liam Jin was unsure of how to console her. For a while, Seraphina and Liam Jin stared at one another without a word.

"Sera… I--" Liam tries to crack the silence yet, he could not say anything to her.

"Doctor, wanna take a walk?" Seraphina slightly simpers tranquilizing the mood.

----

The Jin Medical Group in country x was almost identical from their hospital branch in country y; where Seraphina spent her coma days. Both modern and sophisticated. Probably, the only difference is their healing garden.

Seraphina sat at one of the benches. Liam followed her with a cup of coffee in his hand then hand her one before sitting beside her.

Since the healing garden is what Seraphina admired the most in the Jin Medical in country y because of its serene vibe probably because of its natural surrounding. However, in this main branch, it was considered nice but lacking.

"Sera, I'm sorry for not telling you." Liam apologizes sounding guilt-ridden as always.

"Doctor, it's not your fault. Why are you sorry for?" Seraphina traces the cup lid using her index finger. She continued,

"You are always nice to me… shouldn't be me who needs to apologize?" Liam kept his silence hearing her words. Although it was baffling on what she was talking about, Liam thought she was referring about her feelings.

Seraphina inhaled then exhaled heavily. Turning her head beside her, Seraphina solemnly spoke. "Look at me,"

Liam unconsciously turns his head to the captivating woman beside him. Without her myopia glasses, Seraphina looks rather melancholic. This is the first time she showed him this side of her which pricks his heart. It pained him seeing her this low-spirited. Her usual cheerfulness was gone. It was as if she seemed like a stranger to him.

Of course, Liam might know a little about her antics and slightly got accustomed to her personality. However, he could not help but feel troubled by her demeanor now.

Seraphina stared at him for quite some time before putting away the cup of coffee on her hand. She reached out for Liam's slender finger which mildly startled him.

"Doctor, can you heal me?" she asked still staring at his hand.

No one could see her agonizing expression. The condition of Sebastian Yue was already hard for her to take, but now, staring at Liam who done nothing but be nice to her -- alas, all she did in return was use him to her advantage and her pawn.

Seraphina might not love Liam as a man but, she likes him as a good friend. And that will never change. Thus, the piling torment of despising herself for her wickedness -- she'll surely not forgive herself and would willingly receive retribution when the time comes.

"Sera… you'll be fine. I know you're strong." Liam comforted her as he tightly held her hand back. He wants to hug her or say more comforting words alas, for some reason, his body wasn't listening to him. This is always him that he hated the most, the coward him who can't even do anything for her.

"It's late doctor, I'll go first." Seraphina raised her head then delicately smile.

When Seraphina reached the Yue family mansion, it was close to midnight. Since Ace picks her up and left Riggs in a rush, she felt it was the right decision. At least she can drive home herself and spend some time alone.

At the Yue Mansion entrance, Riggs was leaning on the side pillar waiting for her. The news about Sebastian Yue reached him rather late and was left behind when he headed to his quarter.

The odd emotions he was feeling for quite some time now, resurfaced the moment he heard of the news. Everyone might know Sebastian Yue's importance to her, however, Riggs is the only one who knew the real position of Oldman Yue to her. Thus, although there is a little possibility that she will go home, he waited. Seeing the car approaching, he intently stared at the vehicle.

When Seraphina exit from the driver's seat, Riggs stumped his way towards her direction.

"Hey fatty! Wanna burn some fats?" Without further ado, Riggs launch an unrestrained punch towards her.
