Chapter 670 Belated Love is Worthless
"Dashiell, do I really deserve this kind of humiliation from you?" Seraphina's voice was sharp as she stared at his back.
Dashiell's fists tightened.
He didn't turn around.
"Just because I broke up with you once, does that make me a lifelong villain?" Seraphina's vision blurred with tears.
Did she really deserve to be hurt by Dashiell over and over again?
Dashiell still didn't turn around.
Tears streamed down Seraphina's face.
She let out a bitter laugh, mocking her own foolish thoughts.
"Dashiell, if you walk away now, I'm done for real," she said.
Her feelings for Dashiell had always been more than enough.
From the start, they had always been missing each other.
Whether it was him liking her before, or her liking him now.
Maybe they were never meant to be together.
Dashiell's steps faltered.
His whole body tensed, trembling slightly, whether from desire or anger.
But still, he chose not to turn around.
He knew very well that if he turned around, even for a second, he would fall.
But he didn't want to be played by Seraphina anymore.
The hickey on Seraphina's neck was impossible to ignore, impossible not to care that she might have just been with Sebastian.
What Dashiell couldn't accept more was being abandoned by Seraphina again and again.
Whenever Sebastian had any trouble, she would always choose Sebastian without hesitation.
Enough. Dashiell had felt the same way.
Some feelings shouldn't be held onto, so there was no point in clinging to them!
Dashiell's eyes tightened, and he left again.
He walked into the bedroom, and the door slammed shut.
The moment the door closed, Seraphina felt like the whole world had shut down.
Indeed, love that had come late was worthless.
Dashiell wouldn't have feelings for Seraphina.
What he might have had was just that small bit of unwillingness.
What he might have felt was just that hint of regret.
But these couldn't be the reasons for Dashiell to accept Seraphina.
Seraphina finally understood.
Today, tonight, she finally understood the distance between her and Dashiell.
They were really completely over.
It was Seraphina's self-righteousness that led her to believe Dashiell might still have feelings for her.
It was her self-righteousness that convinced her Dashiell still loved her in silence.
She turned and left Dashiell's house.
She couldn't humiliate herself anymore.
Whether Dashiell lived or died tonight was his business and had nothing to do with her.
What Seraphina didn't know was that when she left Dashiell's house.
The Dashiell who had originally left appeared in the living room again.
Looking at the empty room, he returned to his room.
The door slammed shut again!
Seraphina got back into her car, trying to calm herself down to drive.
She had been in a car accident once.
She didn't want to get into another car accident.
She didn't want to die.
She believed that dying for Dashiell wasn't worth it at all, because he wouldn't feel any regret.
She parked the car by the roadside, then hugged the steering wheel and cried her heart out.
Everything was caused by Seraphina herself.
But she still wanted to cry for her lost love.
She didn't know how long she cried.
Anyway, Seraphina felt her throat was hoarse.
She barely managed to calm herself down.
The moment she calmed down, she made a phone call.
She called Lucy.She had no clue what was going on between Lucy and Dashiell.
But Lucy was the only woman she could think of that Dashiell had been in touch with.
As for Natalia, she had just met Dashiell tonight, and Seraphina was worried that jumping into bed right after meeting would freak Natalia out.
Even now, Seraphina was still thinking about Dashiell.
She hated herself for it.
The call connected, and Lucy sounded surprised. "Ms. Everhart?"
Seraphina's voice was hoarse but calm. "Dashiell's not doing well. You should check on him."
"What's wrong with him?" Lucy sounded really concerned.
"You'll see when you get there," Seraphina said and hung up.
That was the last thing she could do for Dashiell.
She put down the phone, restarted the car, and drove off.
The next morning, Seraphina woke up, not sure when she had fallen asleep the night before.
When the alarm went off, she felt like the world was spinning.
She didn't want to get up and go to work.
But what else could she do if she didn't go to work—just sit around at home?
Seraphina stood in front of the sink, rinsing her mouth.
As she rinsed, her eyes suddenly narrowed.
She touched her neck.
Was that a hickey?
And several hickeys.
How did she get hickeys on her neck?
She rubbed at them, confirmed they wouldn't come off, and looked closer in the mirror. Yep, definitely hickeys.
They were from last night, when she and Dashiell were in the car.
Seraphina felt a bit disappointed.
Dashiell could kiss her when he was sober, but after being drugged with an aphrodisiac, he wouldn't go all the way.
Was it because Dashiell knew he could stop anytime when he was sober?
And when he lost control, he couldn't?
So, who was Dashiell being loyal to?
The more Seraphina thought about it, the sadder she felt.
She thought, 'I really shouldn't think about him anymore.'
They were completely over.
Seraphina quickly finished getting ready, changed her clothes, and put on some makeup. Just as she was about to leave for work, she got a call from an unknown number.
She answered while putting on her shoes. "Hello."
The person on the other end said, "Hello, this is the Metropolitan Hospital. Are you a relative of Sebastian?"
Seraphina instantly tensed up.
Sebastian wouldn't have tried to kill himself again, would he?
The person on the other end continued, "Sebastian has a high fever that won't go down and is delirious. We suspect he has pneumonia and needs to be hospitalized. We got your number from our records and hope you can come to the hospital as soon as possible."
"Okay, I'll be right there," Seraphina agreed without hesitation.
She put down the phone and moved quickly.
How could Sebastian have a high fever that wouldn't go down?
And pneumonia?
Wasn't pneumonia something that only kids got?
Seraphina felt a bit unsettled, drove to the hospital, and went straight to Sebastian's room.
In the room, Sebastian was lying on the bed, looking very weak.
He was alone in the room, looking exceptionally lonely.
Seeing this, Seraphina felt a bit sad.
She always felt that Sebastian was alone.
She held back her emotions and sat on the chair next to Sebastian's bed. As soon as she sat down, Sebastian woke up.
He looked at Seraphina and even smiled. "Why are you here?" he asked.
