"Ah!" Seraphina shifted her gazed on her hand that was holding her car keys before hastily inviting Rex to follow her. Just when they hitched on her usual expensive car, Seraphina uttered; "Jin Medical Group," with urgency.
Hearing the destination, Rex didn't waste a second and sped away. He finally realized why Seraphina was acting this way. Granting that she can be a little crazy, however, this type of reaction of her is the very first time seeing it.
Did Sebastian Yue died? What happened? Rex doesn't want to dwell and overthink as he hoped… prayed silently that it wasn't Sebastian Yue's time yet.
Seeing Seraphina now, Rex was afraid how can she handle this, especially that Seraphina currently bore too much burden. Sure they can secure her safety, alas, can she reassured them to keep her sanity intact? Though it was baffling that Seraphina would act this way considering how composed she was under any circ_u_mstances… well, everyone probably would feel the same as he also lost someone he held dear in the past.
"Rex, faster…" Seraphina mumbled. Currently, she felt that their speed was too slow than usual. Alas, what Seraphina doesn't realize is that Rex already reached the maximum speed and even overtook cars that were ahead of them. He was doing his best to drive as fast as he can yet, it seems that it's still insufficient for her.
"...crash those cars ahead of us. Kill them if you must -- I can't let them slow me down." Seraphina continued her mumbles as she peered ahead and saw different tail lights blocking their way. On her mind, she must go to her grandfather as soon as possible because she was afraid that she might not make it.
Hearing her ruthless command, Rex treated it as an air that passed by him. He knew that if he did so, wouldn't that mean they'll face great dilemma later on? He knew she was only speaking out of her feelings and her unclear head. Hence, without a word, Rex squinted his eyes as he made a u-turn -- taking a different route.
Seeing that Rex changed his direction, Seraphina leaned her back against the front passenger seat. She knew this route but only forgot about it as her mind was too muddled at the moment. Fortunately, before she could even forget about herself, she asked Rex to come with her or else, she was probably being chased by the authorities by now.
Silently giving her trust to Rex, Seraphina's fist pound on her c_h_e_s_t to eased her clenching heart. She can't breathe. She can't feel her blood run through her veins which made her feel a little cold, and her body began to slightly tremble. Earlier, she received a call from Liam Jin stating that something happened to her grandfather.
Sebastian Yue was currently in a 50/50 condition and the probability to survive this attack wasn't that high. She was already well-informed about it -- that if Sebastian Yue had another seizure or heart attack, he might not survive. Hence, Seraphina spent her free time idling with her grandfather since he was transferred back to his private ward.
However, she still wasn't prepared -- she will never be. Even though Seraphina knew it was coming, she always throws the idea at the back of her head as she cannot allow herself to accept it. The only prayer she had was for her grandfather to live a longer life. Doesn't matter if she has to kill everyone who tries to harm him as long as he lived.
But now, it seems the time had come before she expected it to happen. Isn't in her previous life, Sebastian Yue should at least have more than half a year before dying? Moreover, his death isn't even a natural one. Hence, doubts soon float inside Seraphina's heart as her blood started to boil abnormally.
In her mind, if this attacked was caused by someone, she swears to the devil that, that person will face her wrath; slowly but surely. A glint of malicious intent flashed across her eyes which Rex sensed as the atmosphere inside the small space in the car gradually dropped to negative zero.

As usual, Riggs didn't head to the coordinates Rex gave as he needed to plead for his life to Seraphina first before anything else. After all, Riggs never saw himself following Rex orders if it's not an important mission. Hence, he let Alexander Han go on his way and he will go back to the Yue family mansion.
Arriving at the said mansion, since Riggs was close to the guards and almost every servant working under the Yue family, he arrived in his quarters without any problem -- only receiving their hi's and hello's seeing him back after a long break.
Deciding to find his godly boss whom he secretly misses the most, Riggs immediately went to the study where she was said to be staying on her free time according to his maid informant.
Making his way to the said room contemplating his dialogue and preparing his eyes to well up, Riggs was halted by the monotone voice of Ace.
"She wasn't there. She left with Rex." Ace informed the freshly arrived Riggs.
"Eh?!" Riggs panicked for a while. If he was right, Seraphina and Rex were probably on their way to the coordinates he received earlier. In his mind, he's doomed… he is so dead. Hence, Riggs was about to rush to the said place where he will certainly receive his punishment alas, he halted hearing Ace next words.
"It seems like the chairman was… dying." Ace audibly uttered. For some reason, a slight, as small as a needle prick his heart. Though he started working as Seraphina's babysitter, yet, when he was transferred to look after Sebastian Yue -- he must admit that he grew fonder of the kind man.
Probably to Ace, he was the kindest man he ever met and if he was given a selfish wish, he wanted to be related to someone like Sebastian Yue. A kind, genuine and wise man despite knowing the darker side of the world, Sebastian Yue will always choose to protect his loved ones by being their light. That's the kind of person he was that is why he respected the old man the most.
