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
"You..." she bit her lower lip and blushed as a few strands of her hair fell onto her cheeks. Her pretty face had a calming influence, as if simply looking at it would make people feel calmer inside.Jackson stared at her with such fascination. She was blushing because of him – and that made him happy.He wanted her to be even more attracted to him and fall for him even harder. He wanted her to be both physically and emotionally attracted to him.Maybe that was the only way he could feel more secure and be more certain that she wouldn't leave him.Did she have any idea how much he wanted her?Did she have any idea how deeply he was in love with her?He wondered if there would ever come a day when she would truly love him again, when she would tell him without any doubt that she "loves" him, rather than that she would try her best to love him again."Serenity, I love you."He said it from the bottom of his heart. He would love her forever!When Serenity woke up the next day,
After all, as it stood, the case was very unfavorable to Clara."Is there no way to increase our chances?" Serenity asked. The thought of not being able to help Clara overturn her old case really upset Serenity.Only those who had been wrongfully imprisoned would know how it felt!"The only way is to prove that she was wrongfully imprisoned," the lawyer said.Serenity understood the crux of the problem too. After a moment of silence, she said, "Okay, I'll think of something."The only possible breakthrough that she could think of was to find the doctor who performed the abortion on Sandra Cooper after she fell down the stairs!The doctor resigned from the hospital not long after Sandra Cooper was discharged and Clara was sent to prison.Jackson came to pick Serenity up from work. Serenity said, "Jack, can you help me find someone?""Who?" he asked."The doctor who performed the abortion procedure on Sandra Cooper," she said.Jackson raised his eyebrows, "You want to prove tha
Serenity looked up and noticed Jackson staring at her."What are you... looking at?" she asked."I just think that you're beautiful," he said.Her heart started throbbing again. When did he become so good at sweet words?! Also, he's the one that's beautiful!"Oh, right – any news about Terry?" Serenity asked after calming down. In two days, Lisa would be undergoing her second surgery. The doctor said if her condition improved after the second surgery, she would likely regain consciousness.If Lisa learned after regaining consciousness that Terry had gone missing, it would surely make her really upset!"No news yet," Jackson said, "The White family currently forbids anyone from talking about Terry. They're working hard to block all news about him. The only thing they've announced publicly is that Terry has gone missing and the family business will be temporarily handled by the old Mrs. White and her sons. All of Terry's men have been stripped of their powers."Hearing that, Seren
"What? Did I say something wrong?" Jackson asked."My mother… Did you just call her 'Mom'?" Serenity asked in a murmur."We're married. I'll treat your mother as mine, naturally. Is there anything wrong with my calling her ‘mom’?" Jackson asked in an amused tone.There was nothing wrong with this, Serenity thought, eyes widening. However, Jackson had a bad memory associated with his mother, so she always assumed that the word 'Mom' was a forbidden word to him.Jackson sighed as he watched her eyes widen in shock. He leaned forward, wrapping his arms around her waist."My mother abandoned me when I was a child. I've always associated the word 'Mom' with hatred. I never thought I'd use the word again, but Serenity… You showed me what it's like to have a mother. It's really heartwarming for me."Jackson closed his eyes gently, resting his head on her shoulder. He was telling her things he had never told anyone, his warmth enveloping her. "I know you miss Mom a lot. She's a good moth
Jackson's eyes reddened in an instant. Her confession of love was almost like a wish come true for him."You love me? Really?" Jackson asked in a murmur. His voice trembled, a telltale sign he was on the verge of tears. "Yeah," Serenity answered. She could see that he was so nervous that he was shaking, his lips trembling. "Why would I lie? Jack, I love you. I once thought it might take an eternity to love you again, but… Maybe love is beyond space and time."Love was a feeling. There was nothing spectacular, no special occasion. It just happened naturally and made her realize her true feelings. Maybe it was just love.Jackson's arms tightened around her waist, sobbing. "You said you love me. You can't take back what you said!""Yeah. I won't," Serenity promised. She noticed him sobbing and asked, "Jack, are you crying?"Jackson did not answer. Instead, he buried his face in the crook of her neck, breathing in her sweet scent. He wanted this moment to last forever, imprinted on
