The last meeting 1
He kissed her cheek lightly before heading into the mansion, still wondering if she might have caught a cold. The thought lingered in his mind for a moment, but he quickly brushed it off as he stepped inside.
The servants were overjoyed at the sight of the couple seemingly reconciling, although it wasn't exactly long or overly dramatic. Still, that peaceful moment didn't last as long as anyone hoped.
"Urgh!"
"Seraphina? What's wrong?"
It had been a typical mealtime—until Seraphina, who was seated at the dining table, waiting for the food to arrive, suddenly grabbed her face, looking pale.

Raven immediately sprang up from his seat, rushing over to her as she clutched her mouth, her face now pale blue.
"Doctor! Get the doctor now!"
The doctor rushed into the dining hall, responding quickly to Raven's urgent voice. After checking on Seraphina, the doctor looked relieved.
