Why would he be feeling uneasy? They've already reconciled and started over. Everything was moving in the right direction!Was she overthinking it?After the kiss, he stared at her with passionate eyes, "Serenity..."The way he called her name made her soul shudder.He hugged her tightly, as if he was holding the most precious treasure.Serenity stayed in his arms quietly, feeling his heartbeat and breathing.She seemed to be falling more and more in love with him. After letting go of her grudge, her love for him started growing rapidly.Serenity hugged Jackson back. She heard him whisper next to her ear, "Promise me that you'll forget about the past. We'll start all over."She smiled and said, "I thought we've already started over.""Promise me!" he insisted."Okay, okay, I promise," she said, "Let bygones be bygones. Let's forget about all the unhappy and unpleasant memories."He looked relieved. "After the babies are born, we'll hold a wedding. I want the whole world to k
Clara rubbed her son's soft little cheeks while smiling gently.This interaction between mother and son radiated a strong warmth that mesmerized Wilson.In the past, he had never considered what she would look like when she became a mother, but he's seeing it now.His mind drifted to the past, when she had once said with a smile, "When we have our own children in the future, you'll probably be a strict father.""What about you?" he asked."Me? I'll be a loving mother.""But a loving mother usually raises spoiled children.""No, this loving mother will definitely be a good mother too. I'll make sure to educate my children very well!"He still couldn't tell if she had educated his son well, but he knew that she's definitely a good mother in his son's eyes.Clara suddenly frowned. She told the little boy, "Yanny, talk to Daddy for a moment. Mommy has to go to the bathroom."Clara then turned around and walked to the bathroom at the end of the corridor. She held the right side of
He fell into a daze staring at the mother and son walking away hand in hand, so he didn't drive away immediately. After the two figures disappeared from his field of vision, he slowly closed his eyes and leaned back on his seat.What's wrong with him? When he saw Clara and Yanny together, he actually felt warm inside. He actually thought that Clara was a good mother, and for a fleeting moment, he even considered not fighting for custody!Even though Clara's a good mother to Yanny, he must never let his son be raised by a Wells!It's Clara's fault for having that kind of father! Years ago, her father forced the Birch family into desperation, almost causing their demise!Wilson had no idea how long he had been there when he saw Clara come out of the gate again with her vendor cart. She was so thin that it looked like the wind could blow her away if it was a little stronger.Suddenly, the cart stopped. Clara lowered her head and grabbed her right abdomen. She seemed to be trembling s
Jackson checked Serenity's fingers and asked, "Are you sure they only hurt a little?""Of course. How bad can it be?" Serenity smiled gently, "You know this always happens when the weather gets cold and humid. I'll go see Mr. Smith tomorrow and have him look at my hands."Speaking of which, Mr. Smith had told her to go for treatment once a week, but a lot of things happened, plus she got pregnant, so she had not been going for treatment lately.She wondered if he would be mad at her when he saw her tomorrow."I'll go with you," Jackson said."You don't have to. You have to go to work. I can go by myself," she said."I'll go with you," he insisted.Serenity stopped refusing. She was about to continue eating when he suddenly said, "I'll feed you.""Feed me?" She was flabbergasted."Aren't your hands in pain? They'll hurt even more if you hold cutlery. I'll feed you," he said.Her hands were indeed in pain, but not to the point where she couldn't even hold cutlery.But when Jac
"Stop treatment?" Mr. Smith immediately scowled, "I told you how serious the consequences are if your treatment is interrupted. Have you forgotten? You've missed a few sessions, but fortunately, it's only a few weeks so it's not too serious yet. But if it's a year...""I'm pregnant," Serenity cut straight to the point, "If I continue with the treatment, it would affect my pregnancy, right? I'm afraid I have to put it off for now."Mr. Smith's face turned serious. "It's true that we can't use the same treatment method anymore if you're pregnant, but if you stop treatment, your hands' condition might become even worse in the future. You might not even be able to clench your fist.""No way!" Jackson was shocked to hear that."In the worst case scenario, her hands might become disabled," Mr. Smith added.Jackson looked even more upset. "How can this be? Is there no other way?"Mr. Smith sighed. "I explained to her how serious the consequences were before we started treatment!"Seren
When they reached the car, Jackson took the prescription from Serenity and, after a moment's contemplation, said, "I'll have someone look into this prescription first.""You think there might be something wrong with the prescription?" Serenity asked."I don't know, but it doesn't hurt to be careful," Jackson said. Anything concerning her made him nervous now.Jackson took Serenity's hands and looked at them with downcast eyes. Her fingers were slim, just like her body, but because of that, the deformity of her finger joints stood out even more.Every time he saw her hands, his heart would be flooded with pain.It was a pain born from guilt, regret, and helplessness.He was rich and could easily have whatever he wanted, but he was powerless to help her hands get better.Even though he had hired many specialists to take a look at her hands, the conclusion they reached was that they could only alleviate the pain at most; it was impossible to make her hands as nimble as the hands of
His mother only gave birth to him in order to marry into the Valor family. When she realized that she could not do so, he was discarded like a pawn that had lost all value.But this woman in front of her was willing to sacrifice everything for the sake of her children.To her, a child would never be a pawn.Her eyes were always crystal clear. Even after suffering all kinds of hardship in prison, that clarity had never been contaminated.And that's probably the reason why he loved her so much.Jackson hugged Serenity tightly. "I'll make sure your hands get cured! I promise!"He would cure her hands even if he had to spend his entire life to find a cure!Serenity hugged him back with a gentle smile. She was not that hung up about her hands. "Jack, you don't have to take it so seriously! Even if I lose these hands one day, you'd be my hands, wouldn't you?"He replied while holding back tears, "Yes, I would be your hands..."Anything she wanted, he would offer it to her with both
She quickly lowered her head."What's wrong?" he seemed a little puzzled."N-Nothing..." She felt hotter now than when she was soaking in the medicine earlier for some reason. Even her face was starting to burn.With a slight frown, he carried her to the bed."Umm... Good night," she said in a hurry, trying to calm her beating heart.But before she could even lift the blanket up, he leaned down, propped one hand on her side and grabbed her chin with the other to make her face him. "Why did you suddenly stop looking at me? Did I say something wrong or do something to upset you?"Serenity blinked a few times. Why would he think that? He... Ugh, did he misunderstand?"No," she said weakly."Then why did you suddenly look away?" he asked.Okay, he must have misunderstood, "I... Well... It's just..." She started mumbling while her face became hotter and hotter."Just what?" He narrowed his eyes, and that handsome face moved even closer to hers, "Just what?"Looking at the handsom
