"Why are you crying? Seraphina is back safe and sound-you should be happy!" Hansen, still sobbing, clung to Seraphina's sleeves. He cried out, "I thought you were dead, Seraphina! You gavea good scare!" Olivia choked back her own tears. Everyone felt emotional, but Hansen was the first to break down completely.
"Seraphina, you didn't tell us you were coming back. We thought you were really gone. Over the last few days, we were all heartbroken!" Seraphina's nose stung with emotion. She sniffled, and her voice was filled with apology She said. Im sorry. I didn't want to shock you all at once. I was going to cfind you when I was feeling better.

They all showered her with questions, cager to know what she had gone through. Seraphina gave them a brief account-there was nothing left to hide. It all felt like something out of a past life. Olivia and Sarah listened, more intrigued with each passing detail, but Hansen sat quietly, sinking deeper into thought. He didn't say a word.
When Seraphina noticed, she kicked him lightly, frowning "Hansen, why are you so quiet?" Hansen covered his face with his hands. He seemed lost, and his voice filled with regret.
"Why wasn't itwho saved you? Why was it Orion again?" The room fell into a deafening silence, and they could hear a pin drop.
Sarah shot him a glare. She quickly stepped in to block Seraphina's view, trying to change the subject with a smile.
"Kaveh released the video online, and we all found out what happened. You're famous now! Reporters are everywhere, and they're looking for you." She handed Seraphina her phone, showing her the news. It was difficult to believe, but she was suddenly the focus of everyone's attention. Seraphina pursed her lips, unsurprised. On the island, Kaveh had mentioned that if they survived, she might end up in one of his works. "Let Sivir handle it. I bought a couple of private planes. I'm thinking of learning how to fly." 1/3 Tue, Oc Chapter 257 Settles Finished Flying with someone else felt like a risk. She'd had a trauma now-why not just fly the plane herself?

In just a few days, the media frenzy grew even wilder, with views and comments skyrocketing.
Seraphina had recovered enough to be discharged. Despite her readiness to leave the hospital and her careful disguises and precautions, people recognized her the moment she stepped outside. The flood of reporters was instant. Reporters pressed their microphones toward her, with questions flying in her direction.
"Ms. Cross, is it true you went through all that?" "Ms. Cross, how does it feel to survive such an ordeal?" "Do you think the crash was really an accident?" "Are you and Kaveh getting closer after everything?" Journalists packed the entrance, cameras flashing endlessly.
The bodyguards formed a protective circle, keeping Seraphina and Justin at the center.
Amid the chaos and the journalists, Justin looked mildly irritated. He was used to to the spotlight, and he knew these reporters wouldn't leave without answers. He wrapped a protective arm around Seraphina, striding purposefully toward the waiting limousine parked just ahead.

Seraphina was walking, but then she stopped. She paused for a moment and suddenly lifted her head.
revealing her bright, captivating eyes. At that moment, a layer of sorrow clouded them.
Everyone was confused.
The crowd fell silent, waiting for her to speak.
Seraphina's voice was raspy, but it rang clear in the silent crowd.
"I'm grateful for your concern, but please stop following me. There were over thirty people or that plane Who weren't as lucky. Their families are suffering terribly seeing all this." With that, she bowed deeply, her gesture deliberate and solemn. The fervor around them cooled instantly, the once chaotic energy now eerily quiet.
Without another word, Justin guided her into the car. They drove away.
