Chapter 337 Seraphina Gets Drunk
Cecilia and Alaric went back together, with Cassius joining them in their car.
Dashiell and Seraphina got a designated driver to take them home.
Seraphina was heavily intoxicated, experiencing dizziness.
She kept mumbling, "Bro, I can still drink. Let's go to another place and keep drinking..."
The "bro" Seraphina was referring to was, of course, Cassius.
Dashiell was also seeing someone drunkenly call everyone "bro" for the first time.
Probably, no one else in the world could do this except Seraphina and Cassius.
Seraphina was noisy as the car arrived at its destination.
With the help of the designated driver, Dashiell got into his electric wheelchair.
The driver also helped Seraphina, letting her lean directly on Dashiell.
Seraphina was so drunk that she was unable to resist. Yet Dashiell cherished her drunken moments.
He carried Seraphina back home.
Lucy saw them and quickly approached, "Mr. Rainier, is Ms. Everhart drunk?"
"Help her to her room first."
"Okay." Lucy quickly followed Dashiell.
When they got to Seraphina's room, Lucy was helping her to bed.
Suddenly, Seraphina pushed Lucy away and rushed to the bathroom, vomiting loudly.
Dashiell and Lucy quickly went in to check on her, seeing her collapsed on the floor, hunched over the toilet, vomiting continuously.
"How much did Ms. Everhart drink?" Lucy asked worriedly.
Dashiell thought, 'She had drunk quite a bit.
But it was unexpected that Seraphina could drink to this extent.'
Seraphina couldn't get drunk like this with the amount of alcohol he'd seen a long time ago.
The sound of retching filled the air.
"Go get her some honey water," Dashiell said to Lucy.
"Okay." Lucy nodded and left.
Dashiell moved his wheelchair closer to Seraphina, gently soothing her back to make her feel better.
Seraphina had another uncontrollable bout of vomiting.
After she finished, she said with difficulty, "I feel like I'm going to die."
"Do you feel really bad? Should I take you to the hospital?" Dashiell asked softly.
He also thought Seraphina was excessively drunk.
Her face was even pale.
Lucy came in with a cup of warm honey water, "Ms. Everhart, drink some honey water; it will make you feel better."
Seraphina glanced up, took the water, and drank a couple of sips.
As soon as she drank it, she vomited again.
"How much did she drink?" Lucy was also anxious.
Dashiell said straightforwardly, "I'm taking you to the hospital."
"No." Seraphina refused after vomiting, "I'll be fine after some sleep."
With that, Seraphina stood up from the toilet.
She was wobbling as she stood.
Dashiell and Lucy quickly went to support her.
Seraphina steadied herself, pushed them away, walked out of the bathroom, and lay directly on the bed.
She closed her eyes and didn't move.
Dashiell and Lucy just watched Seraphina.
Seeing her suddenly fall asleep, they were a bit taken aback.
"I'll help Ms. Everhart freshen up a bit," Lucy said, coming to her senses.
Dashiell nodded, then suddenly said, "I'll do it. It's late; you should go to bed early."
Lucy was about to say she wasn't tired.
Then she thought Mr. Rainier might just want to be closer to Ms. Everhart, so she quickly nodded, "Okay, call me if you need anything."
Then Lucy left Seraphina's room.
Dashiell wheeled himself to Seraphina's bed.
Seraphina slept in a particularly indecent manner, not at all befitting of a so-called young lady.
Dashiell assisted her in removing her coat. She was professionally dressed for work, wearing a form-fitting white blouse that appeared uncomfortable for sleep.
Dashiell hesitated for a moment but decided to take it off for her.
After all, he had already seen it.
He was just trying to make Seraphina sleep more comfortably.
With that thought, Dashiell unbuttoned Seraphina's blouse.
Dashiell's eyes flickered.
The bluish marks from that night hadn't completely faded.
He had thought only he had them.
Unexpectedly...she had some, too.
He tried hard not to linger his gaze.
Quickly, he took off her blouse and put on a clean nightgown for her.
Then he wiped her face with a warm towel and cleaned her hands and feet.
Finally, he covered her with a blanket.
Dashiell let out a sigh of relief.
Dashiell was clearly suppressing something, trying to relax.
Seeing that Seraphina was really asleep, he turned to leave.
At that moment, he heard Seraphina suddenly say, "Water, I want some water..."
"Honey water or plain water?" Dashiell asked.
"Water, just water..."
Dashiell remembered that Seraphina had vomited after drinking honey water, so he went to get her a cup of warm, plain water.
He propped his wheelchair up on Seraphina's bed and helped Seraphina up.
Seraphina's soft body leaned against Dashiell, accepting the water he fed her.
She was really extremely thirsty.
Seraphina drank the whole cup of water.
"Do you want more? I can get you some," Dashiell asked.
Seraphina shook her head.
Dashiell put the cup down and was about to help Seraphina lie down.
Seraphina suddenly grabbed his arm, not letting him move, and mumbled, "Sleep with me tonight."
Dashiell's whole body tensed up.
His Adam's apple bobbed up and down.
For a second, he thought he had misheard.
Then he heard Seraphina repeat, "I want you to sleep with me."
She clearly still had a bit of a sappy tone to her voice.
Dashiell managed to squeeze out a "Okay" from his throat, suppressing his excitement.
He was afraid of scaring Seraphina.
Satisfied with his answer, Seraphina released Dashiell's hand and lay back on the bed.
Dashiell slowly lay down beside her.
Dashiell planned to stay with Seraphina until she slept, then take a shower and return to sleep with her.
He watched Seraphina, seeing her completely unguarded while sleeping.
Seeing her asleep, not rejecting him at all.
People always want to get more.
Originally, Dashiell thought just sharing a bed with Seraphina was enough.
At this moment, he wanted to reach out and touch her fair face.
Before he realized it, his fingers were already on Seraphina's face.
Dashiell felt for the first time that Seraphina was truly within arm's reach, almost within touching distance.
He suddenly remembered the first time he saw Seraphina.
He had gone with Magnolia to see Atticus, and naturally, he also saw Seraphina, who was with Atticus.
The first time he saw Seraphina, he thought she was so cute, with a round, rosy face like a doll.
At that time, he really wanted to touch the "doll," and after all these years.
He finally got his wish.
