Semua Bab His Innocent Sera: Bab 121 - Bab 130

Sera came downstairs to find Dyson and Nate already seated at the table. But what made her pause was the surprising presence of Hannah. A smile bloomed across her face."Hannah," she chirped, walking over to her. Hannah glanced her way and returned the same cheerful grin. "Sera," she beamed and opened her arms as Sera leaned in to hug her. "Why didn't you tell me you were coming? I would have made you your favorite cookies," Sera said. The last time Hannah had told her how much she had missed her cookies. Hannah's smile brightened upon hearing about the cookies. "I wanted to surprise you all. As for cookies, I am staying here for the weekend," Hannah said, revealing the plan with a grin. "That's amazing," Sera said, gently squeezing Hannah’s hand. "It’s been too long since we have had a full weekend together." Hannah couldn't agree more. Nate watched them, his heart full at the sight of the two people he loved getting along so naturally. Not just Hannah, his whole family was enam

"SERA!" Hannah screamed, reaching out desperately, but couldn't catch her. Horror kept her rooted to her spot as she could do nothing but watch her free-fall. Sera met the ground with a harsh thud. A sharp pain clenched her muscles, making her cry in agony. The woman writhed and squirmed, but the pain didn't ease. "Sera," Hannah's faint voice reached her through the haze of pain. She opened her eyes and raised her head to Hannah, who seemed to have turned pale with concern."You..You'll be alright. I have called for help," Hannah assured her in a panicked voice. Sera tried to work her muscles, but they felt locked tight from the pain. She moaned as she forced her muscles to move. Her legs shook uncontrollably as she tried to get up. Just then, a low growl cut through the air, causing goosebumps to prickle across her skin. "Sera..watch out," Hannah screamed frantically. Sera swallowed and looked up at Hannah. Hannah was looking at something behind her, and Sera had a hunch what it

"Anyone can become bitter after going through hard times, but only a heart made by God can stay kind and loving despite sufferings," Hannah said."Great philosophy. Are you taking up preaching now?" Nate remarked, amused by her big words. He was behind the wheel, Hannah beside him, driving her to the airport, where his private jet awaited."I am talking about Sera," she replied. "Even after everything, she refused to let hardships sour her heart,” she added.“ Hannah had expected Sera to be bitter toward her for being his sister, but she was still so fond of her, so kind and loving. She had never heard her raise her voice or even glare at anyone. Hannah turned her head and caught him smiling, as if she had just paid him a compliment and not Sera. She didn't know what exactly was going on between them, but she had also noticed her softening towards him. Also, the fact that Nate was financing Dyson's treatment indicated things were improving between them. But the doubt still lingered.

"Nate, are you listening?" Dave’s voice cut through his thoughts.  Nate blinked, forcing his gaze up, though the sadness lingered. “Yeah… what is it?”Dave didn't respond for a moment, studying him. "What is it? Did you have a fight with Sera?" Dave guessed. She was the only one who ever left Nate looking so downcast. "I can fight anyone........ but not her," Nate murmured, sorrow clouding his eyes. "What happened?" Dave asked, setting the files aside, knowing this wouldn’t be quick. "She’s mad at me," Nate admitted. "Why?" Dave prodded. "Because I hurt her," Nate said, his voice breaking at the edges. Dave didn’t need more explanation.A heavy silence settled between them, broken only when Nate spoke, ""She was crying miserably. Her voice broke every time she tried to speak. And her eyes… they were filled with so much pain it hurt to look into them. Every tear, every sob… I caused them. She kept asking me why, like she couldn’t understand how I could hurt her. And I had no an

"You sent for me?" Sera asked. Her gaze absently drifted around to take in the heap of ash overflowing the tray, the cold coffee cup left untouched. Nate turned, smoke curling from the half-burned cigarette resting between his fingers. The shadow underneath his eyes spoke of battles lost to sleep. He masked the melancholy clouding his face and motioned toward the chair. “Take a seat.The formal edge in his voice struck her as foreign, almost distant. Choosing to ignore it, she lowered herself into the chair across from him just as he crushed the cigarette into the ashtray. She lowered her gaze, her fingers twisting nervously in her lap. The memory of their last encounter lingered heavily in the space between them. He settled down behind the desk. The gentle breeze drifting in through the open window carried the faint scent of flowers. "It was Gloria who sent you the video," Nate revealed. Her head snapped up to meet his gaze. A faint frown tugged at her brows as she murmured, "Gl
