Chapter 300 - Prove it

"Heart failure." As strongly as it may come off, Liam answered. He couldn't bring himself to relay the saddening news to her earlier and she didn't give him the chance to. Hence, it's understandable that she was now asking these details; probably she recovered from the shock a little.

"Prove it." Out of nowhere, Seraphina earnestly responded. Though her words should be easy to comprehend, why does it sounded too complicated at the same time?

"We can conduct an autopsy after applying and signing some doc_u_ments if that is what Ms. Yue wished." Regardless if she was his fiance, Liam answered her inquiry with the same professional manner. After all, if that's her will, then, the whole Jin Medical would respectfully abide.

"Now," Not turning her eyes away from Sebastian Yue's lifeless body, Seraphina instantly replied. By the way she uttered her words, anyone could feel that she was dead serious on her absorb request.

Does she want to open Sebastian Yue's body this instant? Considering the top-notch security and treatment her grandfather received, it was utterly displeasing to the Jin family -- it was as if Seraphina was indirectly accusing them on her grandfather's death.

"Sera, I'm afraid that is against the rules." Despite the striking pain seeing her in this state, Liam couldn't just say 'yes' on her ridiculous request. He must admit that Seraphina sounded suspicious and seemed to blame the Jin Medical Group alas, he still understood her for some reason. The pain of losing someone, losing the biological family she had and the person who treated her like the world was gone.

Hence, how can he feel offended knowing that Seraphina's heart was pulverized? How can he feel displeased? With that kind of mentality, Liam kept his emotion at bay as he knew that Seraphina would act out from her emotions. Thus, they must keep a high tolerance.

"I said… prove it." Repeating her words, Seraphina was akin to a broken record. There was no trace of emotion left on her as her words turn colder and stifling. By this time, Logan Jin who came into the scene bearing his noble demeanor. He spoke which caught everyone's attention; except Seraphina.

"Young Sera, we cannot do that without going through the process. If you really doubt us, the Jin family on securing your Grandfather until now, I have nothing to say. But, about your request for his autopsy, we have to go through the right process to proceed." Logan informed as he made his way inside the slightly crowded room. In spite of hearing Logan's explanation, Seraphina was unmoved.

"I didn't say I wanted an autopsy… what I want to know is if he died peacefully or not." Seraphina flatly clarified. Indeed, that's all that matters to her. Autopsy? For what? Why would she let the body of her grandfather to be slice opened? She was shameless and can be considered heartless but, there's a one-person that she doesn't wish to hurt even if his shell was the only left, and that person is Sebastian Yue.

Hearing her clear confession, Logan Jin sighed heavily before gesturing the other medical staff to give them some space which they abided after a nod. When the medical staff was leaving, Logan Jin silently gestured Rex, to leave as well and also Liam.

Though a little reluctant, Rex nodded in understanding before gesturing his other two confidants who bore what-the-hell-is-happening expression across their faces. Seeing that Rex cast them a warning glare, they somewhat submit and went outside as well. Liam, on the other hand, looked at his father for a while before nodding as if entrusting Seraphina to him.

When the room was finally empty from the crowd, Logan Jin cleared his throat, breaking the suffocating silence enveloping the room. "Sera, you might've changed but, I didn't. Even though you threatened me the last time we met, I respected and thought too highly of Chairman Yue… so, giving him top security means every medical staff that approached Chairman Yue were all trusted individual of ours. Believe it or not, his death was due to a natural cause." Logan Jin sincerely explicated. Indeed, he was certain that this time, it would be impossible for any mishap and unwelcomed approached from whoever her enemy.

"Logan… do you know the last words he told me this morning? Silly." Seraphina blankly said. Assuming that Seraphina heard and understood him, Logan Jin silently listened to her. After all, she needed a person whom she could talk to, especially now.

"I guess he's right -- he's always right. I am and will always be silly." With that said note, Seraphina slowly stood from her seat and approached Sebastian Yue.

Seeing her action, Logan Jin's eyes dilated in disbelief. Seraphina roughly unveiled the white sheet that was covering Sebastian Yue's neck and below -- revealing his body that was clothed with a hospital gown.

"What are you doing?" Logan catechized as a hunch tugged his instinct telling him that he must stop her. However, his feet were stuck on the tiled-floor, as if it was glued on it; leaving him to watch Seraphina as she looked down on her grandfather.

"Sera… don't do this -- respect chairman Yue, your grandfather's remains." Logan Jin heedlessly stuttered. If his conclusion is correct, Seraphina might commit a huge mistake that she will regret when she is more clear-headed.

"Tell me, did he died peacefully?" Halting on what she was about to perform, Seraphina snapped; repeating the same question she was asking earlier. Indeed, she might've gone crazy or she was always been insane. For a brief moment, her consciousness slipped and was about to do an unforgivable sin just to ease her troubled mind.

"Sera, you did your best. I'm sure Chairman Yue won't leave this world if he doesn't want to… or at least, he'll wait for you to bid his farewell."

"Did I?" Seraphina mumbled as her eyes softened and brows knitted; indulging in the benefit of the doubt.
