Chapter 3 - State of the art

Ten days have passed in a blink of an eye. Seraphina's rapid recovery was considered a miracle that made everyone admired her willpower and determination to have a clean bill of health.

Examining herself in a handheld mirror, Seraphina was in disbelieved seeing her 24-year-old self.

"My, my, who's this gorgeous lady? Oh.. it's me!" Seeing her younger self, Seraphina can't help but compliment herself. She softly laughed while the back of her hand covered her lips. As if she remembered something she moves her hands in front of her, simultaneously opening and closing them. She grinned revealing her even white teeth.

"I did went back in time! Maybe God pitied this wonderful creature! Ahhhh my fingers!" extending her arms, she held her hands up seeing it in a full-view match with the scenery outside the floor length window as its background. She was elated. Thus, she was unaware when Liam entered the room.

Seeing her in high spirit, Liam cleared his throat making an audible sound interrupting her moment.

Hearing someone's inside, Seraphina quickly retrieved her hands and turn her head to the source of it. Seeing Liam Jin closed the door, she awkwardly smile.

'Holy cow! Can't he knock? When did he get here? Gosh! Did my observation skills deteriorate to this level? How much did he hear?'

"Uhhmm... The scenery outside is stunning. hehe..." she awkwardly lied as she scratched the back of her head.

Liam Jin perched at the chair near her bedside. Looking at the awkward smile on Seraphina's face, the side of his lips turned upward.

"Do you want to go outside?" He asked her in his usual gentle tone.

"Can I?" Seraphina actually wanted to stroll around the facility.

In her previous life, due to her amnesia, she only relied on her survival instinct not to trust anyone. Seraphina was like a blank canvass but she knew in her heart that danger is just around the corner. That was the very reason for her to confine herself. Though Liam Jin insisted on showing her around once, she never had the leisure to appreciate the facility. Hence, that one time never happened until she was discharged.

Liam called for assistance whom soon arrived with a wheelchair. Due to her accident, Seraphina can barely move her toes much less walk. Liam Jin assisted her to hitch on the wheelchair then wheeled her out.

Looking around at the same facility for the second time, Seraphina gasped making an 'o' shaped at this state-of-the-art medical facility. The facility offers a cutting-edge and nurturing medical environment. It intended as a healing getaway for patients and their families, the striking dark glass, large globe structure, and calming interior tones provide the sick with a serene and peaceful environment.

Both modern and sophisticated. It boasts a 12,000 square foot atrium complete with restaurants, retail shops, and florist. As they strolled around, Seraphina was speechless that the hospital also offers different courses and events to promote health and wellness such as gardening, cooking classes, community health classes and the like.

'Wooow!'

After wandering around inside the facility, Liam brought Seraphina to the facilities onsite healing garden. The ther_a_p_eutic landscapes nature-green vegetation, flowers, and perhaps the calm water elements made the environment extremely relaxing.

Seraphina closed her eyes as she inhaled and relished the fresh air.

'Aiya! I should have done this before.'

Liam on the side silently watched her action and felt very satisfied with her reaction. They stayed like that for about half an hour in silence until the wind breeze suddenly cooled. She sneezed.

"Let's go back inside," Liam said with a warm look on his face. Though Seraphina was reluctant to leave -- she still slightly nod as an answer. After all, her body was still weak.

Inside her hospital room:

Chairman Yue was sitting on the sofa with a grave expression as if he was facing a great crisis. He seemed lost in his own thoughts that he didn't even realize when Seraphina and Liam arrived.

"Chairman Yue." Liam slightly bowed his head as a greeting to the old man's direction.

Startled. Chairman Yue looked at the direction of the two people who entered the room. His grave expression softens when his gaze landed on Seraphina's innocent pale face. Liam wheeled Seraphina near Chairman Yue before leaving.

"Grandpa..." Seraphina sweetly smiles at her grandfather. Her sweet voice warmed Old man Yue's heart. Looking at her granddaughter, he asked.

"Where have you been?"

"I ask Doctor Jin to take me to a stroll."

"Hmm..." Sebastian Yue hummed as he nodded in understanding. Chairman Yue slightly coughs then spoke with a gloomy expression.

"Sera, I may not visit you for a while."

In her previous life, though she didn't trust anyone, she appreciated her grandfather's effort for accompanying her for almost every day. Thus, she eventually lowered her guard and shortened their distance. But for some reason, he hadn't shown up until she was discharged.

Years had passed before she came to know the reason why he hadn't shown up to visit her while she was recovering. But it was too late because that man already found her.

Going back to the present time, Seraphina innocently smiles at her grandfather. She spoke.

"I'll wait for you then," after a pause, she continues with her sweet and innocent tone. "I will recuperate well so grandpa won't worry about me. Grandpa, you too. Don't neglect your health." Her sweet words touched Chairman Yue's heart that made him more reluctant to leave.

When Liam Jin informed him about Seraphina's having amnesia, he felt regretful. He blamed himself for letting her dauntless granddaughter venture the world alone. But what can he do? He can never say 'no' to her. All he wants in the remaining years of his life is to see her beloved granddaughter live happily yet, this incident made him very regretful. He should've stopped her lionhearted granddaughter for going abroad but regrets only happened in the end.

Regardless, he was very satisfied to see her granddaughter's rapid recovery. She might've lost her memories but at least she is still the same sweet girl as before.

"Silly girl, this old man here is stronger than a cow! You don't have to worry about me. Just focus on your recovery!" He said.

"En."

They chatted for a little longer before he let her rest. When Chairman Yue departed, Seraphina's originally shut eyes — opened. Staring at the ceiling, the sweet innocent aura she displayed a minute ago turned sinister.
