Chapter 752 Rejected
Cecilia pursed her lips and said coldly, "Dominic is the one I gave up on."
With just one sentence, Lyra's face turned extremely ugly.
Wasn't Cecilia implying that she was picking up Cecilia's discarded trash?
She even started to have a better impression of Alaric.
She never thought Alaric's status would be so noble. Before, Lyra always arrogantly thought Alaric wasn't good enough for her, so she felt wronged for liking him. Now that she knew even Tomas didn't dare to provoke Alaric, she began to have improper thoughts about him. But clearly, Tomas wanted to match Juniper with Alaric more.
Lyra felt a bit uncomfortable.
She said, "Anyway, no matter what, you just have poor judgment."
Cecilia laughed and admitted, "Yes, my judgment is indeed not very good."
"Do you hate Alaric?" Lyra asked.
"No," Cecilia said, "I just married a husband of poor quality. Besides, it's not like you need a man to survive in this world. I've never thought of relying on a man to live. If the relationship is good, we live together; if not, then forget it."
Lyra always felt she couldn't win an argument with Cecilia.
She said gloomily, "You're quite optimistic."
"I advise you to be more optimistic too. Don't always fixate on other people's things; it's easy to dig your own grave."
"What do you mean?" Lyra's tone was very bad.
"What do I mean? Ms. Monroe, you're so smart, you should understand."
Lyra was frustrated.
She always felt Cecilia seemed to know a lot of things.
Like her liking Alaric, which no one else should know.
She didn't speak.
Cecilia said, "Ms. Monroe, could you give me Juniper's phone number? Don't worry, I won't make things difficult for Juniper."
"I'll tell you clearly, I won't give it to you," Lyra refused flatly. "To me, you and I are enemies. I'm not so kind as to help you."
"Then sorry to bother you," Cecilia said directly.
Lyra had already said this much, so there was no point in saying more.
But in the end, she couldn't leave this villa.
She couldn't go to Seraphina's side.
Cecilia hung up the phone, feeling a bit emotional.
She looked at the bodyguard in front of her, then turned and left.
For things she couldn't resist, she would rationally choose the best way for herself.
George saw Cecilia's back and felt a bit sympathetic.
Cecilia had been so agitated before.
So quickly, she calmed herself down.
And how much grievance was behind this calmness, George didn't dare to think deeply.
Cecilia returned to the hall.
She calmed herself down.
Then she called Magnolia, "Cecilia."
"Magnolia, I might not be able to come over for now," Cecilia said.
"What's wrong?" Magnolia was a bit surprised.
She actually understood Cecilia and Seraphina's relationship very well.
Cecilia would never ignore Seraphina.
"I've been put under house arrest by Alaric," Cecilia didn't hide it.
Magnolia's heart skipped a beat.
For a moment, she couldn't say a word.
After all, she would still stand on Alaric's side, so she couldn't help Cecilia scold Alaric.
Cecilia actually understood.
No one could really be so righteous as to not be biased towards their family.
"So I ask you to help take care of Seraphina. I know Seraphina's personality isn't very good, and you don't like her much, but she's really pure and has no bad intentions. If Uncle Atticus really has any problems, please make sure Seraphina doesn't do anything stupid," Cecilia pleaded.
Magnolia looked at Seraphina beside her, who seemed to have cried herself out, her eyes just staring at the direction of the operating room, motionless, as if she really felt abandoned by the whole world.
"Okay," Magnolia agreed immediately, "I'll look after Seraphina."
"Magnolia, thank you," Cecilia said sincerely.
"Cecilia, actually Alaric..."
"My matters with him, Magnolia, you don't need to worry too much. I'll respect all his choices," Cecilia interrupted directly.
She really didn't want to involve others in her matters with Alaric.
She always felt that from the moment she took the initiative to approach Alaric, everything was her own decision.
She couldn't blame anyone.
Magnolia sighed heavily, "Anyway, Alaric is really in a difficult position."
Cecilia nodded.
She believed Alaric had many difficult situations.
He just didn't change them.
She hung up the phone.
Cecilia sat on the sofa, somewhat silent.
George beside her was also worried.
He had never seen Cecilia so agitated.
But Cecilia calmed down in an instant.
Who knew where Alaric had gone?
Cecilia wasn't as strong as she appeared!
At the hospital.
Seraphina sat in a wheelchair, looking at the direction of the operating room, waiting for a result.
She didn't dare to think too much.
She just wanted to see Atticus, just wanted him to live. She swore she would never make him angry again.
From now on, she would listen to whatever he said.
After hanging up the phone, Magnolia walked to Seraphina's side.
She swallowed the words she was about to say.
For Seraphina, many words were hard to say.
Forgot it.
She would just watch over Seraphina.
As long as she didn't do anything stupid.
But where did Dashiell go?
Magnolia called Dashiell.
The call connected, and Dashiell's voice was a bit weak, "Mom."
"Where are you?"
"What's wrong?"
"Atticus just attempted suicide and is still being resuscitated. I think Seraphina..." Magnolia looked at Seraphina, "I think if anything happens to Atticus, Seraphina might not hold on."
Dashiell was silent.
He didn't expect Atticus to choose suicide.
"Do you want to come over?" Without getting a response from Dashiell, Magnolia asked.
"Not for now," Dashiell refused.
He didn't tell Magnolia that he had just come off the operating table, with IVs all over his body, and couldn't get up because of excessive blood loss.
He was afraid saying too much would make Magnolia worry more.
Magnolia sighed.
She held back and said, "Alright, if you don't want to come, don't come. Anyway, you and Seraphina, it's better if you figure it out. Don't ruin yourself over her."
Dashiell didn't explain much.
Magnolia had always opposed his relationship with Seraphina.
"I'll look after Seraphina. You just do your own thing," Magnolia added, also worried that Dashiell would still worry about Seraphina.
"Okay." Magnolia hung up the phone.
The moment she hung up, she turned around and saw Seraphina suddenly looking at her.
Their eyes met, and Magnolia felt a guilty conscience as if she had done something wrong.
