Chapter 489 Great, I’m Still Alive
Wilson’s attentiveness to Seraphina had transcended the typical boundaries of a man–woman friendship.
However, if someone were to use this situation as leverage, it only revealed their questionable character- pushing someone into a corner was hardly fair.
Hansen, left standing aside, sighed dramatically. “Things would be so much better when you were with me. But it’s not too late now.”
Seraphina rolled her eyes and covered her ears.
“You guys are overthinking this! He hasn’t even mentioned anything. Mr. Rockwell isn’t the type to take advantage of others.”
Olivia and Sarah exchanged glances, knowing better than to comment.
With a few friends around, the time spent in the hospital was more bearable.
Justin often lightened the mood with silly antics in front of Sarah, making Seraphina chuckle quietly to herself.
The hospital room felt lively.
Before they knew it, the day had slipped away.
The lively group took the doctor by surprise when he entered. The hospital room decoration resembled a home theater.
Seraphina smiled and asked, “Doctor, has Mr. Rockwell woken up?”
It took the doctor a moment to respond.
“Yes, Ms. Cross. Mr. Rockwell is conscious, but he needs a peaceful recovery.”
As dusk approached, Wilson was finally regaining his senses, recovering from the heavy blow Orion had dealt him.
Seraphina cursed under her breath for a while before smiling and nodding, “Okay, I’ll go see him.”
She turned to Justin, who seemed to understand her unspoken thoughts.
He leaned down, gently lifting her into the wheelchair and wheeling her out. The others followed closely from behind.
Olivia said, “We won’t say a word. We promise not to disturb him; we just want to thank him for saving Seraphina.”
Sarah and Hansen nodded vigorously in agreement.
The doctor, torn between feelings, finally relented with a reluctant nod, “Alright then.”
The group made their way downstairs, arriving at Wilson’s room. Their steps instinctively softened as they entered.

Seraphina’s wheelchair rolled silently, the only sound being the soft beeping of medical equipment.
Wilson lay tiredly with his eyes closed, looking slightly better than before; his complexion was no longer pale and lifeless but showed a hint of color.
The five of them, along with the doctor, formed a circle around his bed. They leaned in curiously, focusing their gaze on his face.
Except for Seraphina and the doctor, everyone else was itching to speak. They were eager to discuss how good–looking Wilson was.
Though he didn’t have Orion’s sharp features, his warm personality might just balance the scales.
But they held their tongues, exchanging glances and biting back their words.
After a moment, Wilson’s eyes fluttered, slowly opening
Everyone held their breath, excitement filling the air.
In an instant, Wilson’s gaze revealed shock and fear, causing his body to tremble slightly, as if startled.
Unexpectedly, Olivia, Sarah, and Hansen all made a slight bow.
“Thank you, Mr. Rockwell!”
As the heroes who saved Seraphina, they felt it was only right to show him respect.
Seraphina watched in disbelief.
Wilson squinted suspiciously, his response delayed, and his face paled slightly as he pressed his lips together in silence.
When he opened his eyes, a circle of people surrounded his bed, bowing to him as if they were mourning him, which startled him even more.
Seraphina coughed lightly, finally speaking in a hushed tone.
“Don’t speak; you’ll scare him!”
At her words, Wilson’s awareness gradually returned, and he relaxed slightly.
He let out a silent breath, feeling the tension in his body dissolve.
So, it seems I’m still alive.
“Seraphina?”
His voice was hoarse but warm, laced with a gentle tone.
Since he had regained consciousness, Seraphina smiled and said, “Mr. Rockwell, these are my friends, Olivia, Sarah, and Hansen.”
Wilson managed a weak smile. “Hello…
Sarah stenned forward and said “Mr Rockwell we came to thank you for saving Seranhina hut we realize

we’re disturbing you. We’ll leave now, and we hope to invite you to dinner next time.”
Olivia nodded in agreement.
They exchanged glances, signaling their departure, and quietly tiptoed out of the room.
Wilson simply watched, speechless.
The doctor sighed in relief, finally grateful that they were leaving.
Seraphina was about to follow suit. Wilson moved his fingers and turned to her.
His tone was soft and warm, yet carried an undertone of intimacy.
“Seraphina, were you worried about me?”
