Chapter 750 Atticus Has an Accident
Seraphina just stood there, dumbfounded, watching Clio jump off the rooftop.
Then came the loud crash.
For the first time, Seraphina felt how fragile life was.
So fragile that two lives disappeared right before her eyes.
Her vision blurred.
Coming back from the brink of death, she didn't feel a sense of relief, but rather immense sorrow.
She didn't actually hate Sebastian that much.
When he was threatening her, she did want to kill him because he endangered her and Atticus's lives. But when Sebastian wasn't a threat, Seraphina felt guilty towards him.
If it hadn't been for Atticus's schemes back then, Sebastian's family wouldn't have ended up like this, and Sebastian wouldn't have turned out this way.
The important thing was that in the end, Sebastian chose to let go, chose to spare her.
Her tears kept flowing.
Dashiell sat next to Seraphina, almost completely exhausted, his body heaving with uncontrollable breaths. He had also seen Clio jump off the rooftop, seen a life disappear before his eyes.
Dashiell felt some regret.
But one has to admit, when faced with the death of a loved one, many people might choose such an extreme way out.
Just like when he couldn't hold on earlier, he felt the same towards Seraphina.
He said, "I'm sorry."
Not because he was letting go.
But because he refused her request and chose to fall with her.
In the end, Sebastian let go. At the brink of life and death, he chose to spare Seraphina. Dashiell even saw the relief on Sebastian's face when he let go.
Sebastian seemed to have let go of everything.
When people die, perhaps there's not so much hatred left.
But the living will remember it for a lifetime.
Seraphina will feel guilty towards Sebastian for a lifetime.
He stood up from the ground.
Barely managing to stand.
Having just used all his strength, combined with his wounds reopening and losing too much blood, he was quite weak.
He said, "Let's go."
He needed to go to the hospital.
Seraphina also needed to go to the hospital.
The stabs on her leg from Sebastian seemed quite serious.
Seraphina turned to look at Dashiell.
Watching him drag his heavy steps, leaving one step at a time.
Seraphina's throat moved slightly.
She was actually very grateful to Dashiell, really grateful, but many words stuck in her throat, unable to come out.
The distance Dashiell kept from her was still very far.
His back still looked so cold.
She got up from the ground.
The wound on her leg made her stand up, only to fall back down.
She seemed to have no strength to leave on her own.
Dashiell heard the noise and turned to look at her.
Seeing her pale face, "I'll call an ambulance for you," Dashiell said.
"Thank you," Seraphina nodded, her voice very hoarse.
Dashiell also nodded and left first.
Downstairs, the sound of police sirens could be heard; the police had finally arrived.
"Dashiell," Seraphina called out to him again.
Dashiell responded.
"Thank you for saving me," Seraphina said gratefully.
Even if Dashiell would eventually let go, he really did his best to save her, and that was enough.
Really enough.
Dashiell just nodded.
It seemed he didn't care much.
He left first.
He was actually at his limit.
If he stayed any longer.
He worried he might pass out here.
And scare Seraphina.
Seraphina had been through too much cruelty today.
Dashiell didn't want her to be even more upset.
On the rooftop.
Only Seraphina was left.
She suddenly thought, she didn't know how Atticus was doing.
She didn't have her phone.
Dashiell had left too.
She didn't know when the ambulance would arrive.
Just as she anxiously tried to get up.
The police arrived.
Seeing Seraphina, they quickly came to support her, "Are you okay?"
"Can I borrow your phone?" Seraphina asked urgently.
The police quickly handed over the phone.
With trembling fingers, Seraphina nervously dialed, "Dad."
"Seraphina, it's me," Magnolia's voice came from the other end.
"How's my dad? Where is he?" Seraphina asked anxiously.
"He's in the hospital, still..." Magnolia seemed to hold back for a moment, then said, "in critical condition."
Yes.
When she got the call from Dashiell, she immediately called Atticus to stop him from committing suicide, but Atticus wouldn't listen, only saying he was sorry to her and Seraphina. When she rushed to The Everhart Mansion, Atticus had already slit his wrists.
There was blood everywhere.
Magnolia held his veins, urgently called an ambulance, and sent him to the hospital.
Because of excessive blood loss, Atticus was still in critical condition.
The outcome was uncertain.
"Which hospital? Which hospital is my dad in?" Seraphina was extremely agitated.
She couldn't imagine what would happen if Atticus also died.
She couldn't control her inner fear.
Her tears kept falling.
The immense sorrow made her really unsure how to face everything next.
The police were also scared by her appearance.
"Calm down."
"I can't calm down, please take me to the hospital, please take me to the hospital now," Seraphina cried.
"Okay, I'll take you right away, don't panic," the police quickly agreed.
He carried Seraphina and quickly went down from the rooftop.
As they went down, the ambulance had just arrived.
Seraphina was put into the ambulance, and the doctors started treating her wounds right there.
She seemed to feel no pain, her eyes red and staring at a certain spot, unfocused, numb.
The ambulance quickly arrived at the hospital.
Seraphina ignored the doctors' and nurses' advice, demanding to be taken to the emergency room in a wheelchair.
At the emergency room door, only Magnolia was there.
Seeing Seraphina's disheveled appearance, she was startled.
Seeing Seraphina's pale face, she felt a twinge of pity.
She didn't like Seraphina because of Dashiell, Magnolia really had no good impression of Seraphina. But seeing her like this, she couldn't help but feel a bit of compassion.
She said, "Atticus is still in there being resuscitated."
"Why did he still listen to Sebastian? He knew that even if he died, I wouldn't survive. Why did he still do it..." Seraphina broke down.
She had barely calmed herself down, but now she suddenly exploded.
Magnolia didn't know how to comfort Seraphina at this moment.
She always felt there was a deep conflict between her and Seraphina.
In short, they just didn't like each other.
