Ch. 486..490: Inherit Billions Chapter 486-490

Chapter 486 Jealousy and Resentment

"Wilson, do you even deserve her? How's that overseas investment going for you? Is your own house in order yet? Trying to make a move on Seraphina. Do you really think I wouldn't kill you?" The confrontation between the two was intense, their energies clashing powerfully.

Orion exuded an overwhelming dominance, the kind that no one could stand against. Those who dared to cross him faced certain death.

Yet Wilson only offered a calm, unyielding smile, maintaining his composure and not giving an inch.

There was a chill in Wilson's smile, a sharpness in his gaze.

Usually, he would mask himself around Seraphina, not wanting her to raise her guard or detached herself from him.

But now

Wilson's voice, though gentle, held an edge of coldness.

"I know Mr. Dros has incredible power, but I'm not giving up on Seraphina. You once had her-but did you treasure her?"

Orion's eyes narrowed with fury, and Wilson smiled.

"Mr. Dros, she's resting inside. You'd better don't disturb her."

Words are sharper than a blade. Orion had a weakness-Seraphina.

Wilson was aware that Orion had not given up on her, and that lingering hope exposed his vulnerability. Wilson kept reminding him of their troubled past, emphasizing that he was unworthy. Wilson considered himself a gentleman, but in the ruthless world of business, gentility was a luxury reserved for those at the top of the pyramid.

He had clawed his way up; he had seen it all.

Orion's previous attack had caught him off guard, but if Orion tried anything again, Wilson was ready to deal with him.

Wilson's taunt enraged Orion, who saw no reason to hold back. He threw a ferocious punch and landed squarely on Wilson's face.

"Who the hell do you

think you are?"

Wilson hit the ground hard.

Already weakened from blood loss, his visión blurred from the impact. He was barely conscious and on the verge of collapse.

A nurse entered the room just then, screaming in shock at the sight.

Wilson lay there, gasping weakly.

Chapter 486 Jealousy and Resentment

The door to the hospital room across the corridor suddenly opened. Seraphina appeared in her wheelchair.

Her face drastically turned pale at the sight.

"Orion! Stop it!"

Orion's clenched fist froze in midair, the tension thick in the air.

Doctors and nurses hurried over and surrounded Wilson.

His face was ghostly pale, with blood trickling from his lip-a stark contrast to his otherwise gentle and handsome features. His frailty evoked sympathy and heartbreak. Yet no one dared voice any complaints, for they had all heard the name Seraphina had just cried out.

Orion!

Orion slowly straightened his back. His dark gaze turned toward the woman in the wheelchair. His eyes, bloodshot and glistening, betrayed his turmoil.

He saw the shock turn to anger on Seraphina's face.

Anger was directed at him.

In that instant, it felt as if a dagger had stabbed into his heart, leaving a painful, bloody scar.

Seraphina wheeled herself forward, but she didn't say a word to him. Instead, she looked at Wilson, who was lying there, and accepted emergency treatment.

"How is he?" She asked urgently.

The doctor refrained from moving Wilson just yet, speaking with a somber tone.

"He was already suffering from severe blood loss, and his body hasn't fully recovered. This punch might lead to a concussion or other complications due to inadequate blood supply. We'll need further examination." He turned to the nurse and instructed, "Prepare a stretcher and the examination room. Don't move him too much."

Within moments, the team was ready. The stretcher arrived.

Wilson lay on it, weak and ashen. His usually warm and handsome face was so fragile, as if he could slip away at any moment.

Seraphina's heart twisted painfully.

No healthy person would collapse from a single punch but Wilson had given so much blood for her.

She knew well the weakness that followed blood loss-the utter vulnerability.

And now someone else was suffering for her sake.

Chapter 487 A Frenzied Nature

The doctor took Wilson away, leaving only Seraphina and Orion.

As their eyes met, an inexplicable complexity hung in the air.

Seraphina lowered her gaze, her expression cold, and her voice even colder.

"What are you doing here?"

Orion wanted to say something, but she cut him off with a disdainful scoff. She mocked, "Did you come here to fight?"

These past few days had stirred up too many unpleasant memories for her.

Orion was the last person she wanted to see right now, yet here he was.

And he hadn't just come-he had attacked Wilson, the one who had donated blood to save her!

Seraphina had to admire her own self-control; only her current physical limitations stopped her from kicking Orion to the ground. Anger bubbled inside her with no outlet. She felt stifled.

Orion lowered his head, gazed at her for a few seconds, then avoided her seething gaze.

His gaze lingered on her leg, which was in a cast. A flicker of pain flashed across his face.

Orion's voice rasped low as he finally replied.

"I came to see you. I didn't need a reason to hit him."

His arrogance was insufferable.

Seraphina almost choked on her anger.

The confidence of this j*rk was boundless!

In the next moment, he slowly knelt down in front of her, reaching out his large, calloused hand to gently touch her right leg.

"Does it hurt?" he asked, his voice laced with an undeniable trace of tenderness, his gaze dark and brooding.

Seraphina stayed silent.

Of course, it hurt!

Orion seemed undeterred and muttered to himself. "It must hurt. When I broke my leg, the pain kept me up all night. You must feel the same."

His sympathetic expression was almost laughable to Seraphina.

Did he really think putting on this act, after hitting Wilson, would earn my forgiveness?

"Mr. Dros, please don't try to change the subject. I want an explanation. Why did you hit Wilson?"

Orion let out a frustrated huff.

"I hit him because he deserved it."

He didn't want to explain. The thought of acknowledging Wilson's feelings for Seraphina disgusted him.

Such a childish answer could never satisfy Seraphina. She would have struck him in the face if her leg was not in a cast.

Closing her eyes, she took a breath. "No matter what happens, you shouldn't have attacked a weakling. Wilson just donated blood to save me; he's my lifesaver. You owe him an apology!" "You want me to apologize to him?!" Orion's agitation flared, especially at the mention of Wilson ng her lifesaver. Jealousy and anger welled up inside him, and there was no way to vent. Once, Orion had been her only lifesaver.

But now there was also Wilson.

Does she expect him to apologize to Wilson?

"Impossible!" He roared out loud.

Seraphina looked at him, disappointment etched in her eyes. "I see. Some things will never change."

The look of disappointment in her eyes was profound. Orion wanted to make things right, but he didn't know how.

Suddenly, an idea struck him. He looked up at her, something wild glinting in his eyes.

"Your blood type is unique. I will arrange for Jessica to donate blood regularly, which we will store for you! The blood will be useful whenever you need it.

He paused, a hint of a smile tugging at his lips. "That way, you won't need Wilson anymore."

In his mind, he'd found a way to render Wilson's greatest value obsolete.

She needs blood?

Jessica's blood was practically going to waste. It might as well all go to Seraphina.

Any lingering guilt he'd once felt toward Jessica's brother had long since faded.

Jessica was now nothing more than a vessel carrying Seraphina's life-giving blood. Seraphina's chest felt tight, a heavy, suffocating pressure settling in.

She flatly rejected him.

"There's no need. Her blood disgusted me."

Chapter 488 Is He Really My Brother?

Seraphina's words hit Orion like a blow.

It wasn't just Jessica she despised, but those three lost years as well.

Orion's face turned grim. His lips pressed into a straight line, and he looked at her with a somber, intense gaze.

Seraphina lowered her eyes. She took a deep breath to steady her trembling fingers. Her voice was cold.

"Orion, let's not bring up the past. I don't want to hear Jessica's name again. I don't find it admirable to use someone as a walking blood bank. My blood type might be rare, but I'm not desperate enough to coerce others to donate. I still have that much principal."

A mocking smile curled on her lips, and she pressed a button on her wheelchair, rolling herself back automatically.

"I need to rest, Mr. Dros. I'd rather not see you while I'm recovering-it'll help me heal faster."

With that, Seraphina turned and wheeled herself into her hospital room. She didn't notice the pained look that crossed Orion's face.

All she wanted was for him to stay far away from her. It would be best if he didn't show his face.

Perhaps Wilson could recuperate more quickly if he maintained his distance as well.

Who knew why Orion felt the need to hit people? Hitting a patient was just wrong!

Orion's departure went unnoticed.

Soon, a doctor arrived to report on Wilson's condition.

"Mr. Rockwell suffered severe blood loss, which led to insufficient blood supply to the brain. Fortunately, there's no lasting brain damage, but he's still unconscious." Seraphina closed the magazine in her hands and nodded.

"Doctor, please let me know when he wakes up."

She knew she couldn't just ignore what had happened.

The doctor nodded, noting her condition before leaving.

Rubbing the center of her brows, Seraphina was about to lie down for a nap when she heard approaching footsteps at the door.

She was the only patient on this floor.

There was no need to guess-they were here for her.

Frowning, she thought she should ask the doctor for a sign that said, "Do Not Disturb."

Before she could think any further, the door opened.

Chapter 488 Is He Really My Brother?

"Seraphina, look who's here!"

Justin's excited voice jolted her fully awake.

Seraphina blinked, sitting up to see that Sarah, Olivia, and Hansen had all come to visit.

Olivia rushed over and hugged her, her gaze filled with concern.

"Seraphina, you gave us such a fright!"

Sarah scanned her from head to toe and sighed with relief at the sight of her right leg in a cast. "Thank goodness you're alright. We were terrified when we heard!"

Hansen walked over. His eyes reddened without him realizing it, but he forced a lighthearted tone.

"Seraphina, how many times have you ended up in the hospital? You're practically on first-name terms with the place." Seraphina smiled, suppressing the irritation that had flared up earlier.

"It's nothing, see? I'm perfectly fine."

Justin trotted over. When he noticed Sarah's worried look, Justin felt a pang of sadness.

He moved beside Seraphina and lightly tapped the cast on her right leg, laughing as he reassured her.

"It's fine. See? She doesn't feel a thing."

Seraphina's face froze, eyes widening as she glared at Justin.

Was he really her brother?

She'd questioned it more than once.

Did Justin bring Sarah over just as an excuse to see her?

She couldn't shake the suspicion. If Sarah asked him to change his last name, he'd probably do it at once.

Olivia indignantly shoved Justin aside. She chided, "Justin, Seraphina's injured! Don't mess with her!"

Sarah cast a speechless glance at Justin, while Hansen seemed caught between wanting to scold him and not daring to speak up.

Everyone disapproved of his action, which put Seraphina at ease.

They all began to ask about what had happened, each talking over the others.

Knowing they wouldn't leave until they were satisfied, Seraphina reluctantly recounted everything.

They listened in alarm, though relieved there had been no lasting harm.

Olivia sighed, "We owe Wilson a big thank you!"

Chapter 489 Great, I'm Still Alive

Wilson's attentiveness to Seraphina had transcended the typical boundaries of a man-woman friendship.

However, if someone were to use this situation as leverage, it only revealed their questionable character- pushing someone into a corner was hardly fair.

Hansen, left standing aside, sighed dramatically. "Things would be so much better when you were with me. But it's not too late now."

Seraphina rolled her eyes and covered her ears.

"You guys are overthinking this! He hasn't even mentioned anything. Mr. Rockwell isn't the type to take advantage of others."

Olivia and Sarah exchanged glances, knowing better than to comment.

With a few friends around, the time spent in the hospital was more bearable.

Justin often lightened the mood with silly antics in front of Sarah, making Seraphina chuckle quietly to herself.

The hospital room felt lively.

Before they knew it, the day had slipped away.

The lively group took the doctor by surprise when he entered. The hospital room decoration resembled a home theater. Seraphina smiled and asked, "Doctor, has Mr. Rockwell woken up?"

It took the doctor a moment to respond.

"Yes, Ms. Cross. Mr. Rockwell is conscious, but he needs a peaceful recovery."

As dusk approached, Wilson was finally regaining his senses, recovering from the heavy blow Orion had dealt him. Seraphina cursed under her breath for a while before smiling and nodding, "Okay, I'll go see him."

She turned to Justin, who seemed to understand her unspoken thoughts.

He leaned down, gently lifting her into the wheelchair and wheeling her out. The others followed closely from behind. Olivia said, "We won't say a word. We promise not to disturb him; we just want to thank him for saving Seraphina."

Sarah and Hansen nodded vigorously in agreement.

The doctor, torn between feelings, finally relented with a reluctant nod, "Alright then."

The group made their way downstairs, arriving at Wilson's room. Their steps instinctively softened as they entered.

Seraphina's wheelchair rolled silently, the only sound being the soft beeping of medical equipment.

Wilson lay tiredly with his eyes closed, looking slightly better than before; his complexion was no longer pale and lifeless but showed a hint of color.

The five of them, along with the doctor, formed a circle around his bed. They leaned in curiously, focusing their gaze on his face.

Except for Seraphina and the doctor, everyone else was itching to speak. They were eager to discuss how good-looking Wilson was.

Though he didn't have Orion's sharp features, his warm personality might just balance the scales.

But they held their tongues, exchanging glances and biting back their words.

After a moment, Wilson's eyes fluttered, slowly opening

Everyone held their breath, excitement filling the air.

In an instant, Wilson's gaze revealed shock and fear, causing his body to tremble slightly, as if startled.

Unexpectedly, Olivia, Sarah, and Hansen all made a slight bow.

"Thank you, Mr. Rockwell!"

As the heroes who saved Seraphina, they felt it was only right to show him respect.

Seraphina watched in disbelief.

Wilson squinted suspiciously, his response delayed, and his face paled slightly as he pressed his lips together in silence.

When he opened his eyes, a circle of people surrounded his bed, bowing to him as if they were mourning him, which startled him even more. Seraphina coughed lightly, finally speaking in a hushed tone.

"Don't speak; you'll scare him!"

At her words, Wilson's awareness gradually returned, and he relaxed slightly.

He let out a silent breath, feeling the tension in his body dissolve.

So, it seems I'm still alive.

"Seraphina?"

His voice was hoarse but warm, laced with a gentle tone.

Since he had regained consciousness, Seraphina smiled and said, "Mr. Rockwell, these are my friends, Olivia, Sarah, and Hansen." Wilson managed a weak smile. "Hello...

Sarah stenned forward and said "Mr Rockwell we came to thank you for saving Seranhina hut we realize

Chapter 489 Great, I'm Still Alive

we're disturbing you. We'll leave now, and we hope to invite you to dinner next time."

Olivia nodded in agreement.

They exchanged glances, signaling their departure, and quietly tiptoed out of the room.

Wilson simply watched, speechless.

The doctor sighed in relief, finally grateful that they were leaving.

Seraphina was about to follow suit. Wilson moved his fingers and turned to her.

His tone was soft and warm, yet carried an undertone of intimacy.

"Seraphina, were you worried about me?"

eraphina was stunned. She pursued her lip.

Of course she understood. She could sense something unusual in his words. If she admitted it, it might lead to misunderstandings.

In the brief silence that followed, the doctor finally couldn't bear the awkwardness and excused himself.

The remaining conversation clearly wasn't suitable for a third party to be present.

Now, it was just the two of them in the hospital room.

Seraphina found herself with nowhere to hide. After all, Wilson was bedridden because of her.

She raised her eyes gently, offering him a gentle smile.

"Mr. Rockwell, everyone has been quite worried about you after you pass out."

Wilson's expression fell, disappointment etched across his features. "Seraphina, you're always avoiding

me."

He wasn't a fool. He understood the implications behind her words.

Seraphina froze, sincerity flickering in her eyes as she managed to smile.

"Alright, Mr. Rockwell, I'm truly worried about you."

This incident made Seraphina realize that she had been somewhat biased about him.

She had maintained an indifferent attitude toward all her suitors.

But now, that wall didn't work when it came to Wilson.

Their relationship changed quietly after the accident, but no one knew how.

Wilson had put in a lot of effort to break through the distance between them. It was a struggle, but he knew he couldn't let up.

He was the one wanting their relationship to advance to the next level and the one wanting to take- initiative.

And so he was acutely aware of every change in Seraphina's demeanor.

Hearing her words of concern, a flicker of disappointment crossed Wilson's heart, yet he was still smiling brilliantly.

"Then my injuries were worth it."

Seraphina's smile faltered slightly, prompting Wilson to speak again.

"Did Mr. Dros tell you why he took a swing at me?"

He was curious about what Orion might have told Seraphina.

Chapter 490 Wilson's Confess Again

She shook her head. "No.

Who knows?

She couldn't possibly tell him that Orion claimed Wilson had it coming. Silence seemed the better option.

Wilson smirked, a glint of triumph in his eyes.

"Because he's jealous of me!"

For the first time, getting hit had brought him such joy

Orion's rage made Wilson feel that his chances weren't as bleak as they seemed.

Seraphina blinked in surprise, and Wilson's smile deepened as his gaze-bore into hers.

"For the first time, I feel like I actually matter to you. This time, I'm closer to you than Mr. Dros."

Seraphina raised her eyes and found herself lost in the depths of Wilson's dark gaze, which seemed boundless, like an infinite universe ready to swallow her whole.

His tone was warm, compelling him to speak even more.

Because of my blood type, I've been afraid of accidents since childhood. I learned to be selfish and indifferent, knowing that if something went wrong, I might never be saved again. But this time, I'm incredibly thankful to be this blood type. Seraphina, don't rush to thank me. I won't be so despicable as to demand you marry me. I just hope you can be fair. Don't shut me out with thank you."

In that instant, Seraphina felt a tremor in her heart, as if something within her was crumbling.

The wall she had built with indifference had only served to hurt him.

She had repeatedly thanked him, hoping to prevent him from emotionally binding her. Yet now he was candidly assuring her that he wouldn't do so.

Rather than feeling relieved, she felt an increased weight on her shoulders.

"Mr. Rockwell, you know about the messy story about Orion and me. I've exhausted all my energy trying to love this man. Even if I liked someone in the future, it could never be as deep as this. That wouldn't be fair to anyone else."

She spoke plainly.

Seraphina wouldn't rush into a fire like a moth twice.

She believed in the beauty of love but couldn't sacrifice herself to experience it again. That cruel elevation would only deplete her life.

Wilson was different. He was raising a child who wasn't his own. On the surface, he seemed pragmatic, but deep down, he was kind and forgiving.

It was difficult for her to bear the thought of hurting him.

Watching the smile on Seraphina's face, Wilson lowered his gaze momentarily before smiling again.

"That's too early to say. How will you know if you don't give it a try?"

Seraphina frowned, and Wilson pressed on.

"And how do you know that I couldn't accept this unfairness? What if I'm willing to accept it?"
