Chapter 387
“What are you talking about?” That was Seraphina’s response.
She was clearly shocked by Sandra’s words, then she reached out and gently touched Sandra’s head.
She wasn’t sure if Sandra had lost her mind because of Bowen’s actions, or if the car ident had
affected her in some way.
But, Sandra clung to Seraphina’s hand, and through her hot tears, she repeated firmly, “Sera, Valerio is
your real son. He’s the son of you and Leandro-*

Seraphina stared at her in surprise for a moment, then rasped out, “What are you even talking about?”
“I’m sorry… I’m so sorry…” Sandra grabbed Seraphina, speaking rapidly, her emotions running high,
“Sera, I’m sorry…”
Seraphina felt a chill run through her.
She didn’t know why Sandra would say these things, but seeing how distraught Sandra was, she
couldn’t help but try tofort her.
“Don’t panic,” Seraphina reached out to steady her, “Take your time, what’s going on?”
“I messed up…” Sandra sobbed even harder as Seraphina softened, “I listened to him, I took your son-
Seraphina watched her quietly, before slowly asking, “You took my son?”
“That child is Valerio, he’s Valerio-” Sandra said, “Sera, I’m sorry, I should’ve told you sooner…”
Seeing Sandra crying inconsbly, Seraphina’s thoughts became chaotic.
She couldn’t keep a cool head tofort Sandra anymore, because she started pondering the
possibility of what Sandra was saying.
Her words were so believable, her emotions so genuine, even if what she was saying sounded
outrageous, Seraphina couldn’t help reying the whole thing in her head.
Sandra said she listened to Bowen, took her son Valerio, but-
“But Betty has always been with me.” Seraphina said, “How can Valerio be my son?”
“Betty isn’t your child at all!” Sandra suddenly broke down crying, “She’s a child Bowen got from
somewhere else! I swapped your son with Betty!”
Seraphina had been reaching out to Sandra, but after hearing Sandra’s words, she slowly pulled her
hand back.
In that moment, she felt like she froze, her heart plunging into a cold abyss.
When she spoke again, Seraphina’s voice was hard and cold, “Exin.”
“Sandra was sobbing so hard she could hardly breathe, but she persisted, “He hated the Reynolds
family, wanted revenge on the Reynolds family, so he had me swap your child… he used Betty to
rece your son. Betty isn’t your child… he wanted to raise Valerio as a bargaining chip for revenge
against the Reynolds family…”
Seraphina’s gaze was cool and icy, she slowly said, “But Leandro found Valerio on the street.”
“I was scared…” Sandra reached out and clung to Seraphina’s uniform, “I was afraid of what he might
do to the child, so I wanted to get him away… but he was always after me, he was always after me… I
had no choice but to leave the child on the street… I thought, even if someone found him and called
the police, it was safer than being with Bowen…”
Seraphina opened her mouth, but no sound came out.
In that moment, she didn’t know whether tough or cry. It took her a long time to calmly say, “So, the
child was found by Leandro, and identally returned to his biological father?”
“I didn’t know, I really didn’t know… I thought the child might never be found…” Sandra said, “Until you
told me that Valerio was picked up by Leandro, and it was at the end of March… then I knew…”.
Seraphina watched her sobbing in pain, but slowly managed a smile, “But you still didn’t tell me the
truth.”
“I was scared! I was scared!” Sandra quickly held onto Seraphina again, “I wanted to be sure before I
told you… in Velvetwood, I took a spoon Valerio used and your DNA for testing, but I was afraid Bowen
would find out, and I didn’t have time to see the report before I had to go back to Sunburst City with
him… but he found out anyway, he tampered with the report I received. I thought Valerio wasn’t your
son, I thought he had nothing to do with you…”
Seraphina took a deep breath, then asked, “And then?”
“Then, I identally found the real test report in his study… Seraphina, Valerio is your son! He really is
your son!” Sandra reached out again to grasp Seraphina’s hand.
But Seraphina’s hand was icy cold.
“And then, you wanted to tell me the truth, that’s why he got angry.” Seraphina said slowly, “That’s why
heid a hand on you?”
Sandra was crying uncontrobly, her face wet with tears.
Unlike Sandra’s tear-streaked face, Seraphina’s expression remainedposed.
“Nope, nope.” Seraphina didn’t wait for Sandra’s reply, she said again slowly, “Remember? The day
before you got into trouble, you came to me all frazzled. By then, you probably already knew the truth,
right? But you didn’t tell me, you had Bowen on your mind. You went back to wait for him, wanted to
have a serious talk, but either you guys didn’t end up talking, or you didn’t even get to see him. That’s
why you rushed to me the next day, wanting to spill the beans. And then, Bowen had someone mess
you up.”
Sandra, who had been soaking in her emotions, slightly snapped out as she heard Seraphina’s words.
“Seraphina…” She tried to grasp her in a fluster, “Seraphina, I’m sorry, I know I let you down, can you
forgive me?”
Seraphina looked at the hand that was tightly gripping hers. After a long pause, she spoke again, “You
know? After you got into trouble, I thought you were dead. I I was bent on avenging you. No matter who
hurt you, I thought I gotta get back at them, to let you rest in peace. Recently, I identally discovered
that you might still be alive. But I couldn’t believe it at all, I didn’t even dare to think about it. Because I
was scared, the more I hoped, the bigger the disappointment. No one wants you alive in this world
more than me, you know how important you are to me.”
Sandra, who was gripping Seraphina’s hand, identally fell off the examination table.
“Seraphina, I know I messed up, forgive me, forgive me…”
Seraphina just watched her, without helping her up, she didn’t even bend down.
“When I saw you alive, I was truly happy.” Seraphina said, “But now, dead or alive, I couldn’t care less.”
“Seraphina-”
“I won’t forgive you.” Seraphina said coldly, “Never.”
