“Will the procedure endanger the life of the mother?” asked Jackson, whose voice carried a hint of nervousness. “The chances are almost nil, but a few things might happen during the operation. She may experience blood loss, intrauterine infection, organ damage, and other side effects… and given her current condition, should a miscarriage occur, the chances of her conceiving another child in the future is extremely slim,” explained the doctor. Jackson’s expression was solemn. Keeping all triplets carried a certain degree of risk, but he was now faced with a dilemma. However, at the end of the day, the choice wasn’t that hard to make. He cared more about Serenity than his children!Back then, when he had fallen in love with her, he already knew that she would have difficulty getting pregnant, and he had already accepted the possibility that they might never have children in their lifetime. He wasn’t fazed at all back then. Now, the stakes had been raised. Although it was a shame t
"Thanks for the compliment," Caleb smiled and said, "But how could you not tell me that you're injured? I actually had to find out from someone else. Were you worried that I might disturb you from spending quality time with a certain someone? Now that you've saved the damsel in distress, surely you've managed to win over her heart, right?"Lucas looked down and had a flashback of the thin woman who tried to stop his car when he left the mansion.At that time, she looked weak and pale, but she persisted and kept waiting outside his mansion in order to see him! But she was doing it all for Peter Wall!He would risk his life for her, yet she's willing to risk her life for Peter Wall.She believed Peter Wall without any evidence in his favor. What exactly was so good about that man to deserve her unwavering trust?Resentment and jealousy once again surged within Lucas.He would let her know that Peter Wall deserved what he got, and she should never have trusted him!"What's wrong? W
Caleb's face fell. That's right, even if he refused to tell Lucas now, Lucas would find out sooner or later.After all, there's no way something like this could remain a secret for long!"You'd better prepare yourself mentally. Also, this isn't confirmed yet," Caleb said.Lucas raised his eyebrows slightly. For some reason, he felt a sense of foreboding, as if the news that Caleb was about to tell him was the last thing in the world he wanted to hear!Caleb showed Lucas his phone. Lucas' pupils shrunk when he saw the photo on it. He violently snatched the phone from Caleb and stared at it in disbelief. He felt as if his blood had gone cold. He was having difficulty breathing.It was a photo of a man and a woman. They were both wearing white clothes and seemed to be a couple.They were sitting in the waiting area of a hall. The picture appeared to be a screenshot, and it was accompanied by a line of text, "This couple was getting their marriage certificate at the county clerk's of
Wasn't the man Serenity cared about Peter Wall? Why would she marry Jackson? Because of her babies?He must ask her to confirm it!After the call ended, Lucas violently stood up, grabbed his car keys and headed out!"Hey, wait, where are you going?" Caleb quickly stopped him."I'm going to see Serenity. I want to find out what exactly is going on. Did she do it for a reason?!" Lucas said anxiously.He couldn't help recalling the scene of that morning when she tried to stop his car but he chose to turn a blind eye to her out of jealousy. In the end, her eyes were filled with despair.Did he miss out on something important at that moment? His heart twisted violently at the thought."But you're still injured! How about... I drive you there?" Caleb asked. After all, he was the one who showed Lucas the picture, so he felt partly responsible.Moreover, he had known Lucas and Jackson for many years. He was afraid that a fight might break out between the two because of Serenity.Caleb
She's… finally his! She's officially his wife!He did not care about the marriage certificate, but that piece of paper could bind her to his side.He didn't care if she came back to him because of the babies or because of Lisa. He only wanted her by his side and made sure she could go nowhere!"Serenity, if you ever leave me again, I definitely won't be as 'gentle' as last time. I won't hesitate to break your wings. Even if you hate me, even if you get on your knees and beg me again, I won't let you go," he whispered, his voice so soft that only he could hear it.He kept staring at her with eyes full of love.He could never have imagined that he would one day be so obsessed with a woman.Although the woman had hurt him deeply, he couldn't bear to hurt her and still wanted her at his side.How deep was his love for her? Was it as deep as his father's love for his mother?But he's not his father, and he would not end up like his father...Suddenly, the car swerved to the side, a
She was wearing the same clothes that he saw in the photo, and Jackson... Lucas' eyes swept past Serenity and landed on Jackson, who was sitting in the car.Currently, the door to the backseat was open, so he could see that Jackson was also wearing the same white suit as in the photo.Serenity walked up to Lucas and stopped a couple of steps before him."You forced the car to stop so that you can talk to me, right?" She initiated the conversation."You and Jackson... really got married?" Lucas asked in a hoarse voice."Uh-huh," Serenity answered."Why?" He almost squeezed that word out from between his teeth."I'm pregnant with Jackson's children." Contrary to Lucas' emotional state, Serenity was calm.Lucas' face immediately paled. His eyes drifted to her belly in disbelief. She's pregnant? He thought Jackson was just saying that to piss him off, but the reality was cruel.The woman he loved married another man, and she's even pregnant with the other man's children."If he's
Therefore, he forbade Lynette from calling him Luke. He sealed the nickname in his memory like it's taboo.But now, Serenity called him Luke. What was she...He abruptly recalled that she had called him Luke too that time in the hospital. She then told him that she's the little girl he met as a boy!But back then, he thought that she was only saying that in order to save Peter Wall! Could it be... Could it be...He almost didn't dare to think about the possibility.Serenity continued, "You saved my life more than once, and I'm really grateful. I understand how you feel about me, but unfortunately, I can't reciprocate it. My feelings for you have never been love. Please stop loving me from now on. Please stop wasting your love on me. If I ever get the chance to repay you for saving my life, I will.""I don't need you to repay me!" Lucas said with his eyes fixed on her. With a trembling voice, he asked, "Tell me honestly, are you or are you not... the little girl I've been searchin
Jackson snorted. He pulled his arm back to punch Lucas, but Serenity grabbed his arm to stop him."What? You can't bear to see him get hit?" Jackson asked with raised eyebrows, his eyes cold."He saved me and our children!" Serenity said.The light in Jackson's eyes flickered, and he lowered his hand. Serenity asked Lucas seriously, "If I say I am, would you believe me, or would you still think that I'm lying like you did last time?"Lucas trembled violently. "So you really are her, aren't you?!""Once upon a time, a little girl ran into a little boy who was kidnapped but managed to escape. The little girl tried to take the little boy to a safe place. They spent a day and a night together in a dense forest and encountered a lot of dangers, but in the end, neither of them left the other behind and they managed to find their way out of the dense forest safely."Serenity didn't admit it directly. She told the story from a third-person perspective.Lucas listened with a pale face.
