I find her quite strange,” Adie replied honestly.
He knew that Seraphina wasn’t a nice person given what he had overheard in the garden.
“What’s so strange about her?” Flossie asked curiously.
“T heard her on the phone saying that they have to stop some kind of brain surgery by getting that person into a car crash or some accident by drowning.
It sounds like she’s going to do something bad.” “She wants to stop a brain surgery?” Flossie muttered, instinctively feeling like something was off.
However, she didn’t ask Adie anything else about it.
After playing with her children for a while, she asked Margaret to take them home.
Justin stayed behind, and looked at her in concern.
“I heard that Quinton wants to leave Beach City for a while, so you have to be extra careful.
Odd things have been happening lately, and a lot of people are coveting your family…”
Justin only said that because he had noticed bad things happening to his family ever since he started cooperating with the Ellsworths.
Most of them were attacks on their finances, like Justin’s business partner abruptly withdrawing their funds, one of their factories catching fire, and the higher-ups finding fault with him for no reason.
However, there had also been physical attacks directed at Justin and Quinton.
Quinton found a man-made bomb under his car the day before, and Justin realized that his car brakes had been tampered with when he started his car.
Quinton hadn’t told Flossie about all this because he didn’t want her to worry, but Justin felt that she should be aware of just how serious the situation was.
“That’s why I think someone might have caused your fall!” Justin said urgently.
Flossie clenched her fists and inhaled deeply.
“Okay, I’ll be careful.
Quinton and I just got some time off, and there are already people getting restless.” “So, what’s your plan now? Do you want to leave the hospital early? It’s crowded here, so anything can happen; it’ll be safer if you stay at home,” Justin suggested carefully.
Now he knew why Quinton had suggested it earlier.
Unfortunately, Justin hadn’t thought that far ahead, and Flossie had suffered the consequences.
“T’ll think about it,” she replied indifferently.
Truthfully, her lower back had almost healed, but…
she didn’t want to leave.
She didn’t want to let go of her nights with Halston so soon, but she also had to be smart about this.
Flossie took a deep breath and made up her mind.
All good things had to come to an end, and those precious memories were more than enough.
“I…
I’ll ask to be discharged tomorrow.” In the quiet ward that night, Halston appeared again.
Once again, he had brought her a lot of her favourite foods, but she looked distracted this time, as if something was weighing on her mind.
Halston frowned and asked her, “What’s the matter? Are you getting sick of the food?” “Yeah, I’ve been eating it everyday after all.
You don’t have to bring me food tomorrow, and…
you don’t have to come here anymore,” Flossie said softly.
Halston raised his brows, and realization bloomed on his face.
” You’re leaving.” “Aren’t you too?” She glanced at his healed neck and chuckled.
” You’re not so weak that you have to stay in the hospital for a month just for bruises, right?” “Yeah, I…
I guess I don’t know what I want,” Halston said quietly.
He knew their time together had an expiration date, but he didn’t want it to stop.
The air was thick with tension and unsaid words.
Both of them had so many things to say, but neither spoke.
“T heard that you’re going to have brain surgery?” Flossie suddenly remembered what Adie had said to her.
Halston looked at her abruptly.
“Who told you that?”
Halston neither admitted nor denied it because he didn’t want too many people knowing about it.
“If you really want to have the surgery…
you should remind your surgeon to be careful because someone is trying to plot against him,” Flossie said carefully, unsure if what Adie had heard was true or not.
Halston stared at her sharply.
“What do you know?” “Nothing, I…
[just feel that people like us should be careful since we’ve got so many enemies.” “Enemies?” Halston’s frown deepened as he asked, “Did you get into trouble?” “I’m safe.
Plus, those people can’t do anything to me,” Flossie said confidently.
She was the world’s top killer, so anyone wanting to mess with her was looking for trouble.
Even though she was still recovering, she could definitely handle them.
“You’re very sure of yourself, but you have to be careful too,” Halston reminded her gently.
“You too.
Be careful,” Flossie echoed.
It felt like a silent confession of love, a promise that they would both meet again after the storm had passed.
Halston left Flossie’s ward late at night, and Flossie didn’t dwell on it as she was already dozing off.
The incense in her room smelled very nice tonight, and Flossie felt her thoughts start to blur.
