Chapter 402
Upon hearing these words, Seraphina fell into a sudden silence.
She had thought that once she handed over Sandra’s affairs to Leandro, she could be completely relieved, never to meddle in Sandra’s matters again.
Seraphina was genuinely angry and felt unreconciled about Sandra’s actions,.
This anger had nothing to do with the nearly perfect ending; it was all about her deceit and betrayal.
Moreover, her deceit and betrayal were for such a man.
Seraphina felt that she probably would never forgive her.
But when she heard Leandro’s words, her heart seemed to be futhlessly stabbed by something.
She was pregnant…pregnant with Bowen’s child.
Even if that man was cruel and unworthy, he was the man she loved.
Standing on the observer’s standpoint, Seraphina couldn’t blame anything.
, Because she had once been in such a predicament, and it took a long time to struggle out.
Life is like this, a process of constantly falling and standing up. On this point, Seraphina had a deep understanding.
But the premise was that Sandra would have the intention to stand up, rather than continue to be deeply trapped.
But for so long, what Seraphina saw was all about Sandra fluctuating in the gentle trap set by Bowen for her, even at the expense of her life-
Now, she might be awake, but Seraphina was certain that as long as Bowen put a little effort, she was likely to fall again.
Moreover, she was pregnant.
What could a child mean?
The crystallization of love, the continuation of life, and the entangled fate.
Perhaps for Sandra, it meant she couldn’t get away from Bowen’s control in this life.
Seraphina couldn’t perceive for a moment whether she was angrier or more worried.
Seeing that she had not spoken for a long time, Leandro reached out and took her cold hand into his palm.
Seraphina returned to her senses, took a deep breath, and opened her mouth in a teasing manner, “It’s quite good, didn’t you say before that you want to give the person a taste of his own medicine? Now she is pregnant, it is simply a repeat of the case seven years ago. How Bowen treated our child, we will treat their child. Everything is the best arrangement, isn’t it?”
“If you really think so, I have no objections.” Leandro said lightly.
Seraphina listened and fell silent again.
After sitting quietly for a while, she leaned slightly against Leandro’s shoulder, lazily looking at the scenery outside the window, and said lightly, “So what are you planning?”
Leandro turned his head, looked at her blurred eyes from the reflection in the window, and said slowly, “Let her go.”
“Go?” Seraphina’s eyes paused slightly, “Where?”
“Where Bowen can’t find.”
Seraphina heard this while her thoughts were in a mess.
The place where Bowen can’t find means that he will never see the woman he loves and the child she gave birth to for him. This is his revenge on Bowen. Sandra’s departure represents that she can get rid of Bowen’s control forever. This is Leandro’s protection for Sandra.
And he didn’t have to do this. It was because of her that Leandro showed mercy to Sandra.
Because he knew how much Seraphina cared about Sandra, and he knew how much she wanted to forgive Sandra. But how easy is it to forgive? Especially such an important person.
How much trust, dependence, and gratitude Seraphina had for Sandra in the past, she had the same amount of resentment for Sandra at this moment.
Such resentment was not something that could be passed by in a few words.
If there was time to wear and make up, perhaps one day the wound would be filled, leaving only an inconspicuous scar.
But if there was no more time…
If they can’t live a peaceful life with each other, let them forget each other.” Seraphina said, “It’s fine.”
Leandro listened, just holding her hand tighter, and said after a long time, “Do you want to see her?”
Seraphina slowly shook her head and closed her eyes.
After learning of the pregnancy news, Sandra was stunned,
Since escaping her death, living under a new name, Bowen became an untouchable taboo. For a long time, he could not approach her.
Until last time, she told Seraphina all the truth in the hospital.
Whether to do this or not, it didn’t mean much to Bowen,
Because her affairs had exposed his true intentions early, and Leandro and Seraphina had already regarded him as an enemy, not a friend. After knowing about Valerio’s affairs, they would hate him more, but for Bowen, it didn’t have muchy impact.
She insisted on telling the truth, in order to make up for the mistakes she made, to atone for her sins, to heal Seraphina’s heartache that has been difficult to heal for many years.
But such behavior stili angered Bowen.
He made her death and gave her a new life, just to let her escape from the mire of the past.
As long as she could forget the past and lived peacefully under the identity of Leilani Sawyer, they could have a harmonious and happy life as before.
But she wouldn’t forget.
She would rather abandon the harmony and happiness he gave her, but choose to tell Seraphina the truth.
His anger was not for him, but for her.
That was the only time he approached her in several months, with anger, compulsion, and reluctance-
Unexpectedly, she got pregnant like this.
Sandra sat in a rocking chair by the window, her hand on her flat belly, staring blankly at the mountains and forests outside the window.
There was a little life in her belly, just like… when Seraphina left Sunburst City and went to Velvetwood, she found a little life in her belly.
Sandra still clearly remembered Seraphina’s reaction at that time-
She was deceived by Leandro, chased out of the Reynolds’ clan, returned to Velvetwood only to leave the Wilsons where Magdalen was. She was originally left with nothing. But when she learned of the existence of this child, she stood firm and fearless, even joyous.
“I want to have this baby” Seraphina had said back then, “I want it.”
And her situation at this moment, how similar it was to Seraphina’s past-
Yet she, she didn’t possess Seraphina’s firm and fearless character. She was at a loss, even unsure of what the significance of this child’s existence really was.
Its mother was a sinner, and its father was even more deeply mired in the swamp of vengeance…
She couldn’t think about the future, each time she did, she felt suffocated.
In a life that was already engulfed in darkness, why drag another person into it?
But just then, Leandro’s staffs told her, they could help her escape.
To leave Sunburst City, to go to a place where nobody would ever find her.
No relatives, no friends, no lover… but at least, she still had her child.
It was a life of peace she could never have imagined, yet now, she was given such an opportunity.
