Chapter 1448

Stefan raised his brows but didn't persist. "Forget it-I'm sure I'll find out whatever you all are hiding from me eventually. I believe in Owen's skills."

Clang! The thermos suddenly fell from Seraphina's hand, and she screamed as the hot soup splashed onto her hand." Ah, it hurts!"

"Are you okay?" Stefan immediately put down the document in his hands and went to Seraphina.

"It's okay, it's just a slight burn." Seraphina tried to brush it off, but she looked like she was in pain.

"Let me have a look." Stefan took Seraphina's hand and leaned down to study it. When he saw that the back of her hand was re and burned, he frowned deeply. "Take her to the medical room and tend to this, Elijah."

"No, it's fine. I'm really okay..." Seraphina trailed off as she looked at the soup that had spilled all over the floor. "But it's a pity... I spent the whole afternoon making this soup for you, and now the carpet's dirty too."

"The soup can be made again and the carpet can be cleaned, but I'd feel guilty if you got hurt. Be good-go get your wound checked," Stefan said softly as he patted Seraphina's shoulders.

"Oh... okay." Seraphina was overjoyed at Stefan's gentleness, but at the same time, she was terrified that she would never feel this warmth from him again if the surgery went

smoothly. Stefan would be furious if he found out that she had bribed the previous doctor to do something to his brain.

"Come with me, Ms. Murphy." Elijah led Seraphina to the exclusive medical room of Hunt Enterprise. The medical staff tended to Seraphina's burn while Elijah watched her from nearby, his arms crossed. He tilted his head as he observed her, then asked thoughtfully, "Don't you think it's hard to win Mr. Hunt over?"

Seraphina turned to him, her eyes narrowed. "Do you find me relentless and annoying too, Mr. Young?"

"Not if you sincerely like Mr. Hunt." Inevitably, Elijah recalled how Renee was in the past. "Ms. Everheart was the same as you- she took great care of Mr. Hunt, but he only rolled his eyes at her and ignored her. In comparison, you have it better since you're close to him and have been with him for half a year. He relies on you."

Seraphina sighed and admitted, "But I feel like he's growing more distant, and his feelings for me seem to have lessened too. Even you can see that he doesn't want to be with me... Plus, it looks like he's going to get back together with Renee. If he does.. what happens to me?"

"Do you believe you're that replaceable, Ms. Murphy? Do you think you're just something Mr. Hunt is passing the time with? An accident, or perhaps an interlude?" Elijah asked teasingly.

"Mr. Young!" Seraphina snapped, glaring at Elijah.

Elijah raised his hands hurriedly in surrender. "I was just kidding, Ms. Murphy-don't take it to heart. I just wanted to tell you that the way to win his heart is by being sincere, just like what Ms. Everheart did. Her true love moved Mr. Hunt, which was why they were so madly in love with each other in the end. But I have to say... I'm curious about how sincere you really are, Ms. Murphy."
