Chapter 481 Just Call Me Emeris

He gazed at the people inside, momentarily taken aback, then nodded politely.

"Ms. Cross, everyone is here."

Emeris's attitude toward Wilson is noticeably warmer now. After all, Wilson was the one who had saved Seraphina, making him stand out from the usual suitors.

"Wilson, you should get some rest. Are you feeling better now?"

Wilson nodded, his gaze shifting to Seraphina. When he noticed her right leg in a cast, his eyes narrowed with concern.

Seraphina smiled gently. "It's just a fracture. I'll be fine soon. Thank you."

Her words were filled with heartfelt gratitude.

In the dire situation, no amount of quick reflexes could match the speed of the car. If it hadn't been for Wilson, her injuries would have been far worse than just her right leg.

Wilson's eyes were still red. His face was pale. He managed a weak smile as he said, "I'm just glad you're okay."

Justin chuckled from the side and said, "I think we should step outside and give Seraphina and Mr. Rockwell some alone time."

Wilson looked at Justin with gratitude.

Emeris slapped him lightly on the back of the head. He chided, "Nonsense! At a time like this, we should all be together as family. Wilson's family isn't here, so we are his family. How can we just leave? What if those two pass out?" Justin rubbed his head in confusion but nodded obediently.

"Dad, you really think things through!"

"Humph!"

Emeris shot him a look, then hurried over to support Wilson.

"Come here, Wilson. The car is ready and waiting for you downstairs. We've already contacted our hospital. You'll receive excellent treatment there. I'll make sure you're well taken care of!"

He was noticeably more enthusiastic about Wilson, especially after discovering that he had the same blood type as Seraphina.

Surprised, Wilson walked over and sat down.

Sivir raised an eyebrow. Emeris had always kept a polite distance from Seraphina's admirers; even when Orion called him Emeris, he didn't respond definitively,

Now, his old man actually wants Wilson to address him closely?

Chapter 481 Just Call Me Emeris

Seraphina smiled at the nervous Wilson and reassured him.

"My dad truly appreciates your help. He's always friendly and approachable. Mr. Rockwell, don't be shy."

Justin on the sidelines was speechless.

Warm and approachable? Seriously?

Haha! Hilarious!

Wilson nodded with a smile, a frail smile gracing his gentle features. "Then, I'll have to trouble you, Emeris."

"Of course! It's my pleasure!"

Emeris arranged for two Rolls Royces, known for their stability and comfort, to ensure the injured felt the utmost comfort. Thus, Wilson and Sivir rode on one car, while the rest shared another.

Justin couldn't resist poking her casted leg now and then. "Does it hurt?"

What had started as a minor sting turned into deep, aching pain as the anesthesia wore off.

She shot him a glare. Seraphina found her brother truly insufferable; couldn't someone take him away?

Seraphina was in pain but didn't want to worry her old man. She forced a smile, trying to ease the moment.

(

"It doesn't hurt much. I can manage the slight discomfort."

Emeris looked at his daughter with concern, feeling a mix of sympathy and exasperation for Justin's thoughtlessness.

"You think everyone makes a big deal like you did? A paper cut needs anesthetic, and any small injury turns into a big deal for you. You just can't compare with your sister!" Justin lowered his head in silence. Was it really his fault?

After all, he was just trying to provide some juicy news for the media!Chapter 482 I'm Here For You

In another car, the atmosphere had turned icy with silence.

It was impossible for the driver to say something. Sivir struggled to come up with a topic, and Wilson was equally clueless.

As they drove further, an idea suddenly struck Sivir. He turned to Wilson and asked, "Why did Mr. Rockwell suddenly decide to go to Eldoria Bay?" Aside from the project that Seraphina was overseeing, he hadn't heard of any other worthwhile investments in Eldoria Bay.

Why would Wilson, a well-known capitalist from Wraith Street and a blood sucker who wouldn't rise early without a profit, suddenly venture there?

"To see Seraphina," Wilson replied straightforwardly, a gentle smile gracing his lips, his voice smooth and elegant.

Sivir raised an eyebrow, hesitating for a few seconds before slowly asking, "I don't understand. Did you have feelings for Seraphina?"

Afaint smile appeared on Wilson's pale face.

dmitted, "Yes, I've been pursuing her."

ced with Sivir, who could see right through a person and perhaps a future brother-in-law, Wilson felt it was best to leave no secrets unspoken. Sivir smirked knowingly, as if he had expected this answer.

"Do you think I stand a chance, Mr. Cross?"

Unable to hold back, Wilson spoke up, feeling a swirl of uncertainty in his chest. He sought a bit of reassurance from Sivir. After all, he was Seraphina's brother.

Sivir let out an enigmatic smile, his eyes lowering slightly as a hint of cruel sympathy tinged his voice.

"Mr. Rockwell, in our family, our opinions hold little weight. Seraphina always has the final say."

H

No one could sway her thoughts. When Seraphina had stubbornly chosen to sever ties with the family to marry Orion, their words had fallen on deaf ears. If anything, it only sparked her rebellious spirit instead. Now, they no longer dared to probe or influence her decisions..

"Well, as long as she's happy, does it matter who she's with?" he thought.

"With the Cross Group backing her, no one would dare to bully Seraphina?"

Wilson paused for a moment, sensing the touch of sorrow in Sivir's tone. He nodded in silence, a gentle smile on his lips.

His upbringing taught him that it was best not to pry into secrets others were unwilling to share.

Chapter 482 I'm Here For You

The car soon arrived at Lebury.

The Cross Group funded the private hospital, which treated exceptional patients with top-tier, albeit expensive, medical equipment. Seraphina's rare blood type wouldn't receive priority at a regular hospital, but here it did.

Once they arrived, she underwent a thorough examination.

Her foot had suffered a severe fracture, rendering her unable to walk. A nurse with a pleasant demeanor came over to assist her with a wheelchair.

After a series of complicated tests, over an hour had passed.

When it concluded, the nurse kindly pushed her back to the assigned hospital room. At the door, she spotted Wilson sitting there, his hands loosely formed into fists resting against his forehead. Seraphina paused briefly, signaling the nurse to leave. She then pressed the button on her wheelchair and slowly rolled over to him.

Her feelings toward Wilson were incredibly complex.

She felt sorry for him, just as she had for her own humble self three years ago.

Yet Seraphina did not want Wilson to become a second version of herself. That bittersweet sei unbearable; it could crush a person's pride and reduce their confidence to nothing. When Wilson looked up and saw her, his eyes still held a hint of crimson, yet they were warm as ever.

He smiled weakly, his complexion still pale, then his concerned gaze fell upon her legs.

"What is the doctor feedback? How's the pain?" he asked, recalling how he had first noticed her discomfort. after she got out of the car.

Her lips had almost bled from biting them in pain.

A warmth washed over her chest, and she said with a smile, "It doesn't hurt anymore."

Wilson's expression softened; his seemed more attractive. Upon hearing her words, a faint smile appeared on his face. "That's good to hear."

Seraphina hesitated for a moment and said, "I didn't expect you to have the same blood type as mine; we're both in a situation where we can't be saved if something goes wrong." Wilson's smile faded slightly as he looked at her with serious intent.

"Seraphina, while your blood type may be rare, you're warm-hearted. There's no one who can't be saved, especially not you

Seraphina was momentarily taken aback. Except for the three years when love had clouded her judgment, she had always cherished her life.

That hadn't changed, nor would it in the future.

"By the way. did you finish your business in Eldoria Bay?" she asked.

Wilson looked at her seriously. His eyes were reflecting a faint galaxy, the depths of which sparkled with brilliance.

After a few seconds, he suddenly chuckled, a charming smile playing on his lips.

"I have ulterior motives when it comes to you. Of course, I'll find a way to see you."

Seraphina stiffened, taken aback by Wilson's bluntness.

For a moment she found herself at a loss for words.

Seeing her flustered expression, Wilson's gaze flickered. He continued with a teasing tone, "Are you touched? If so, then..."

"Dean Skeldon, I'm leaving my daughter in your care. When she gets discharged, she must be full of life!"

ris's voice rang out suddenly, drawing closer to the door of Seraphina's hospital room.

worry. This time, Ms. Cross is fine, thanks to her boyfriend. How did you find someone with the same blood type? You won't have to worry about her getting into scrapes anymore. With him around, nothing will happen!" A robust yet aged voice chimed in cheerfully.

Just then, the door swung open.

The four of them exchanged glances.

Seraphina quickly regained her composure and smiled, nodding at the man beside Emeris.

"Dean Skeldon, nice to see you."

They were old acquaintances; Derick Skeldon had treated Seraphina since she was a little girl.

Derick and Emeris showed no signs of embarrassment from overhearing the conversation-the experienced individuals knew how to navigate the awkward situation.

"Ms. Cross, your father has been warning and trying to bribe me here. You'd better take care of yourself!"

Seraphina chuckled and said, "The doctor said there's nothing serious. In a few months, I'll be able to walk again."

Derick nodded in response. Emeris beamed as he moved to push Seraphina's wheelchair.

"All right, don't disturb her rest. You all can head out!"

"Emeris, I still have a lot of work to handle. My man will come to pick me up this afternoon. I'm sorry for troubling you over the past few days."

Stunned, Emeris then chuckled as he patted Wilson on the shoulder,

"Look at you, being so formal. You saved Seraphina, which makes you our family's savior. You didn't trouble us. Your work is more important. I'll have our chef send you meals every day until you fully recover."

Wilson hesitated and said, "That's too much trouble for you."

"Not at all. It's only right. In the future, just drop by whenever you want; consider it your own home."

Wilson smiled in agreement.

Seraphina rubbed her forehead, pondering how quickly Emeris's attitude toward Wilson had shifted.

The conversation they'd just had made her feel somewhat embarrassed.

It gave off the impression that her family didn't want to let Wilson leave, as if they were drawn to the blood that ran through his veins.

It appeared that her family had ulterior motives.

Couldn't Emeris and Derick be more discreet in their conversation?

nately, Wilson showed no signs of discontent; otherwise, she would have wanted nothing more than

to sink into the floor in shame.

That afternoon, Emeris could no longer hold on and decided to go home and rest.

In her hospital room, Seraphina was enjoying some fruits cut by Justin. Sivir rushed in, a thick file clutched in his hands and a grim expression on his face.

Justin used a wet wipe to clean Seraphina's hands, glancing over at Sivir with a smile.

"Looks like Sivir has caught the culprit!"

Sivir lowered his gaze sharply and handed the file to Seraphina.

"Yes, Scarface is indeed one of Blake's men. He specializes in causing accidents at construction sites to delay progress."

Seraphina's expression hardened, her brows furrowing deeply.

Was Blake really so ruthless that he treated lives as nothing but a game for profit?

It dawned on Justin, He cursed, "Damn it! Who dares to target Seraphina? We can't let this slide. Before we hand him over to the police, he needs to learn a lesson!

Sivir shot his brother a glance; his jaw tightened. His expression was complex and dark,

"I've looked into Scarface's background. He was once a member of the local crime gang and served time in prison. After he got out, he became a construction worker under Blake. It's possible that the local gang is involved in this incident. 2/3

Chapter 484 Not Afraid of Trouble

Justin was the first to regain his composure. Perhaps it was the countless hours spent acting or his familiarity with scripts involving gangs that gave him this advantage.

After listening to Sivir, he couldn't hide his disdain and snorted dismissively.

"What's the big deal with gangs? Our company has funded plenty of congressmen and military officials. When the time comes, we can mobilize the army. I doubt those thungs can handle tanks and cannons!"

The earlier conversation finally weighed Seraphina down as she started to process the situation.

While the assassin might have had ties to a gang in the past, that didn't necessarily mean the local gang was involved in this matter.

She lifted her eyes and looked at Sivir, her tone calm and rational.

"Today's society is not what it was decades ago. Any gang worth its salt is in the process of cleaning up its image. Our company hasn't had any direct confrontations with them, and there's no reason for them to escalate things. We need to investigate whether this assassin is still connected to the gang. We should avoid using violence unless absolutely necessary.

Sivir was skeptical the local gang posed much of a threat to the Cross Group. Seraphina's words make sense to him.

a large-scale bloody conflict could be detrimental to their company.

With that thought in mind, he had some plans.

"Alright. I'll take care of this. Don't worry. We won't seek trouble with them, but we won't shy away from it either."

Seraphina nodded. Sivir gently ruffled her hair before turning to Justin. "I'm heading back to the office. Call me if you need anything."

The room fell silent once more.

Since Seraphina was not in her best mood, Justin decided to install a projector in her hospital room to watch movies. He animatedly explained his plans to her.

Seraphina looked at him with a mix of despair and disbelief. Was he planning to stay here forever?

Was he really pleased to be away from home and not have to keep Emeris company?

Pulling the blanket over her head, she sighed, "I need to rest. Justin, you can go have fun somewhere else."

Justin stared at her and was at a loss for words.

How could she be so ungrateful?

He stormed out, grumbling to himself. Many people desired his company. Seraphina had no idea how wonderful he was!

The design of the hospital was the result of careful construction by renowned foreign designers. The room

It felt less like a hospital and more like a casual, semi-open area, with security only at the main entrance.

Inside, the atmosphere was serene and elegant, with a modern flair that instantly put one at ease.

As Justin walked through the corridors, he attracted envious glances from doctors and nurses alike. But just as he turned a corner, he spotted a man sitting alone in a bamboo chair not far away. He squinted. Haha! Isn't that Orion?

As he approached, he noticed Orion sitting there with lonely and desolate demeanor. Orion must be feeling quite depressed, especially now that Wilson was standing beside Seraphina. Considering Emeris's attitude toward Wilson, Justin wondered if there might actually be something brewing between the two.

Orion looked up and caught sight of the smiling Justin.

"What a coincidence, Mr. Dros!"

His appearance surprised Justin.

Orion's eyes were bloodshot, suggesting he hadn't slept in days. It seemed he hadn't slept in days, and he appeared anxious and unwell.

It was a side of Orion Justin had never seen before, and he was no longer in the mood to tease h

verted his gaze, his voice rough and gravelly. "Is she doing better?"

Clearly, he was here to visit Seraphina.

Justin sighed and sat beside him.

"Much better. She can't walk, but there aren't any major issues. Mr. Dros, I appreciate your concern."

Orion's eyes flickered slightly as he stared at the floor, lost in thought.

Blinked, Justin raised an eyebrow and asked, "Aren't you going to visit her?"

This wasn't like Orion at all.

Orion froze. Of course, he wanted to see her. He had been itching to rush over the moment he heard she was hurt.

Yet, as he approached the door, he hesitated.

For reasons he couldn't quite understand, a wave of panic washed over him.

The fact that Wilson shared the same blood type as Seraphina only deepened his unease, embedding a painful ache in his heart. He couldn't shake the feeling of being too ashamed to face her.

Chapter 485 A Word of Caution

After a moment of silence, Orion finally spoke, his brow furrowed with an unshakeable gloom.

"No, maybe next time."

As he said this, he stood up, intending to leave.

Despite sitting here for an hour, so close to her, he felt distance that seemed to stretch farther away with each passing moment.

Justin's eyes widened in surprise, then he let out a sudden, cold laugh.

"Mr. Dros doesn't dare to see her, does he? I remember your little lover shares the same blood type as Seraphina, right? Didn't she give her blood more than a few times over those three years? Now, when Seraphina is in dire need, it's someone else's blood that saved her-your love rival." Orion's back stiffened at the words, and his gaze turned icy.

He pivoted sharply. His expression darkened, and the atmosphere around him grew heavy and tense.

"Justin."

The man before him was Justin, Seraphina's brother, which is why he felt safe enough to say those words.

in smirked; this was a fact, and there was no argument against it.

ry word was true, leaving no room for rebuttal.

"Do you even know how precious her blood is? We've cushioned every corner of our home. Did you know that she has never cut her own fruit? She hasn't even seen a fruit knife in her life."

Justin sat there, his chin slightly raised, a faint smile playing on his lips.

"You know nothing. When she stubbornly insisted on marrying you, she entrusted her life to you, yet time and again, you tried to kill her."

"I didn't..."

His voice was heavy, rough as if filled with sand, like a storm raging through the desert. A thin wire squeezed his heart tightly, suffocating him.

Justin's words were blunt and merciless.

He was striking at Orion's most painful spots, dragging up memories that Orion desperately wanted to bury.

To start anew, Orion had to carry the weight of the past Justin wouldn't let Orion off easy.

Justin watched him coldly, initially intending to humiliate him, but he couldn't help but feel a twinge of pity for Orion.

He looked like a loser.

"You've helped her countless times, and she can't entirely cut ties with you. But don't say I didn't warn you -if she decides to be with Wilson, you'd best not show your face around her, Mr. Dros. You should still maintain some dignity, don't you think? Justin's glance was sharp; given Orion's position, he couldn't afford to cling to another man's woman.

Orion's jaw tightened, his expression darkening.

He turned to face Justin, his gaze as ferocious as a wild wolf's.

"Such a day will never come."

Justin chuckled softly, amused by his confidence.

"I'm going to see Seraphina. I've come this far, and even if I have to take a beating, I will face her."

His expression regained its usual coldness and determination.

Justin's words hadn't trapped him in despair; instead, they had sparked clarity within him.

Yes, if Wilson was truly with her, he would have to step aside.

Would Orion ever be the one to step aside?

Seraphina was his woman. Does Wilson even deserve to be with her?

With that thought, he strode away, his back resolute.

Orion approached the ward area, already knowing which room Seraphina was in.

His target was clear. However, before he could reach the door, he saw Wilson-the insufferable b*stard- coming out.

He froze for a moment. His complexion darkened, his eyes sharp and piercing like a hawk's.

The atmosphere shifted, becoming thick with tension.

Wilson, of course, noticed him too.

He approached with a humble smile, his face pale and sickly.

"Mr. Dros, you arrive slightly later than I expected."

Orion shot him a fierce glare. "Wilson, I warned you to keep your distance from her."

Wilson's voice was calm and collected, a smile still gracing his lips.

"If I stay too far away, how can she survive? I'm the one who saved her life; I'm the one who gave her blood. How can I possibly stay away?" the wall.

Suddenly, a surge of anger radiated from Orion. He grabbed Wilson by the collar and shoved him against
