Chapter 490 Wilson's Confess Again

eraphina was stunned. She pursued her lip.

Of course she understood. She could sense something unusual in his words. If she admitted it, it might lead to misunderstandings.

In the brief silence that followed, the doctor finally couldn't bear the awkwardness and excused himself.

The remaining conversation clearly wasn't suitable for a third party to be present.

Now, it was just the two of them in the hospital room.

Seraphina found herself with nowhere to hide. After all, Wilson was bedridden because of her.

She raised her eyes gently, offering him a gentle smile.

"Mr. Rockwell, everyone has been quite worried about you after you pass out."

Wilson's expression fell, disappointment etched across his features. "Seraphina, you're always avoiding

me."

He wasn't a fool. He understood the implications behind her words.

Seraphina froze, sincerity flickering in her eyes as she managed to smile.

"Alright, Mr. Rockwell, I'm truly worried about you."

This incident made Seraphina realize that she had been somewhat biased about him.

She had maintained an indifferent attitude toward all her suitors.

But now, that wall didn't work when it came to Wilson.

Their relationship changed quietly after the accident, but no one knew how.

Wilson had put in a lot of effort to break through the distance between them. It was a struggle, but he knew he couldn't let up.

He was the one wanting their relationship to advance to the next level and the one wanting to take- initiative.

And so he was acutely aware of every change in Seraphina's demeanor.

Hearing her words of concern, a flicker of disappointment crossed Wilson's heart, yet he was still smiling brilliantly.

"Then my injuries were worth it."

Seraphina's smile faltered slightly, prompting Wilson to speak again.

"Did Mr. Dros tell you why he took a swing at me?"

He was curious about what Orion might have told Seraphina.

She shook her head. "No.

Who knows?

She couldn't possibly tell him that Orion claimed Wilson had it coming. Silence seemed the better option.

Wilson smirked, a glint of triumph in his eyes.

"Because he's jealous of me!"

For the first time, getting hit had brought him such joy

Orion's rage made Wilson feel that his chances weren't as bleak as they seemed.

Seraphina blinked in surprise, and Wilson's smile deepened as his gaze-bore into hers.

"For the first time, I feel like I actually matter to you. This time, I'm closer to you than Mr. Dros."Material © of NôvelDrama.Org.

Seraphina raised her eyes and found herself lost in the depths of Wilson's dark gaze, which seemed boundless, like an infinite universe ready to swallow her whole.

His tone was warm, compelling him to speak even more.

Because of my blood type, I've been afraid of accidents since childhood. I learned to be selfish and indifferent, knowing that if something went wrong, I might never be saved again. But this time, I'm incredibly thankful to be this blood type. Seraphina, don't rush to thank me. I won't be so despicable as to demand you marry me. I just hope you can be fair. Don't shut me out with thank you."

In that instant, Seraphina felt a tremor in her heart, as if something within her was crumbling.

The wall she had built with indifference had only served to hurt him.

She had repeatedly thanked him, hoping to prevent him from emotionally binding her. Yet now he was candidly assuring her that he wouldn't do so.

Rather than feeling relieved, she felt an increased weight on her shoulders.

"Mr. Rockwell, you know about the messy story about Orion and me. I've exhausted all my energy trying to love this man. Even if I liked someone in the future, it could never be as deep as this. That wouldn't be fair to anyone else."

She spoke plainly.

Seraphina wouldn't rush into a fire like a moth twice.

She believed in the beauty of love but couldn't sacrifice herself to experience it again. That cruel elevation would only deplete her life.

Wilson was different. He was raising a child who wasn't his own. On the surface, he seemed pragmatic, but deep down, he was kind and forgiving.

It was difficult for her to bear the thought of hurting him.

Watching the smile on Seraphina's face, Wilson lowered his gaze momentarily before smiling again.

"That's too early to say. How will you know if you don't give it a try?"

Seraphina frowned, and Wilson pressed on.

"And how do you know that I couldn't accept this unfairness? What if I'm willing to accept it?"
