When that word came out of his mouth, Serenity and Jackson both froze at the same time.How long had it been since she had heard him call her that…? Serenity stared at the person in front of her in a daze. There was a time in the past when he would still occasionally call her Sis even though they were already dating.Because, to him, she was more than just the woman he loved – she was also his family.He said that calling her Sis made him feel less lonely.Serenity raised her free arm and gently combed back the wet hair on his forehead, then slowly moved her hand to his temple. "I'm here, Jack. Lie down and get some rest. The doctor will be here soon."He kept staring at her, as if his headache was less intense than the shock he was experiencing.Why... did he call her Sis just now? The term felt so familiar to him, as if he had called her that a million times before!"You..." he said with difficulty, seemingly wanting to ask her something."Stop talking. If you talk while havi
Was this what it felt like to be hugged by a younger sister? This younger sister seemed different from his other younger sister, Anna. Every time Anna saw him, she would timidly stand aside. She looked like she desperately wanted to please him, but she had never dared to approach him.Meanwhile, this younger sister... would hold his hand and hug him like Mommy did...Micah was hesitant to push away his Mommy earlier and was similarly hesitant to push away his little sister now.Serenity was glad to see the two children getting along. Her son's personality was a little cold, but fortunately, her daughter was more talkative and friendly. So far, it didn't seem like her son disliked her daughter. That's good!Dr. Fender soon arrived. When he saw Serenity and Jacqueline, a flicker of surprise flitted across his face, but he quickly brushed it off and went over to examine Jackson.Jackson slowly opened his eyes and said, "I'm feeling much better now. It doesn't hurt that much anymore."
"No, I'm the big sister. Didn't you hear Daddy call Mommy 'Sis' just now?" Jacqueline corrected him with a pout.Serenity started sweating. That had nothing to do with the order of their births.While Serenity was dealing with the children's argument about who's older, Dr. Fender was examining Jackson in the bedroom.After verifying the severity and timing of Jackson's headache, Dr. Fender said, ''You probably got a headache because your memory was triggered. Like you said, your wife's words made you recall a similar conversation that you had in the past."Dr. Fender was not as calm as he appeared to be.When he learned from Jackson that the woman he saw in the living room was Jackson's "dead" wife, he was shocked for a long time.Mrs. Valor wasn't dead? He could already imagine the shockwave it would cause in the city once news got out.Mr. Valor's wife... She would become the most important woman in Solaria. The female socialites who were pining for Mr. Valor would have their
"Yes, it will indeed make it harder for your memory to recover," Dr. Fender said. He had already told Jackson this the first time he prescribed Jackson the medicine.However, this time, Jackson gave him a completely different answer, much to Dr. Fender's surprise, "Then don't prescribe the medicine.""Mr. Valor?" Dr. Fender was shocked. Don't prescribe the medicine? Did that mean he wanted to... "You want to... recover your memory?""Yes. My memory has been lost for long enough. It's high time I recover it," Jackson joked."But, if you do that, the pain may be unbearable. You might even..." Dr. Fender paused for a moment before he continued, "After all, the human body has a certain tolerance limit to pain. Once the limit is exceeded, it's hard to predict what will happen."Jackson's memory recovery process may not be quite the same as other people's. Ordinary patients would rarely experience as much pain as he did. If something unexpected happened during the process of memory reco
Jacqueline proclaimed loudly, "I'll be a good little sister too! I'll protect my big brother too!" She had already accepted her role as the little sister.Micah was surprised. His little sister... would protect him too? This was the first time he promised to protect someone, and also the first time someone promised to protect him.Was this what it felt like to have a little sister? It was very different from the feeling he got when Anna became his little sister.Mr. Knot informed them that dinner was ready. Serenity looked towards the second floor and asked, "Is Jack not coming down for dinner?" Dr. Fender had left 15 minutes ago. Before he left, he informed them that Jackson was not in danger. He only had a headache because his memory was triggered."When the servants asked him just now, he said he doesn't have much of an appetite so he'll eat later. He said you don't have to wait for him," Mr. Knot said.Was it because of the headache? Serenity wondered.By the time Serenity an
"Jack, do you know how much I love you?" Serenity couldn't help but whisper. She even had the urge to kiss him.He slowly opened his eyes, his long eyelashes trembling slightly. Serenity saw her own face reflected in those enchanting eyes.Serenity was stunned. She felt as if her soul were captured by those eyes. She lost herself in the brimming waves of light."How much?" A voice as melodic as wind blowing through a bamboo forest entered Serenity's ears.With a start, Serenity returned to her senses. "I..." How much did she... love him?She loved him so much that she could forget all her grievances. Even after she learned that he stood idly by when he knew that she was wrongfully imprisoned, she... still chose to be with him.She would never love another man in this world the way she loved him, and no other man in this world would love her the way he loved her.Connor told her that she had fallen into the sea five years ago because she didn't want him to die in order to save h
Rather, it was because she loved him too much. She loved him so much that she was unwilling to see him die for her. She loved him so much that she would rather sacrifice her own life and the lives of the three children in her womb.She selfishly traded her children's lives for his. Fortunately, the children were still alive. Even though one of her children had gone missing, she firmly believed that that child was alive too!The light in Jackson's eyes flickered. He never believed women.His father lost his life because he believed in his mother – believed that she actually loved him.Therefore, Jackson would not believe women, because if he did, it would mean that there was a possibility of being betrayed one day. If he did not believe them, then he would never experience the pain of being betrayed."It's not what I think? Then tell me what the reason is," Jackson said."I..." Serenity pursed her lips. In the end, she could only say, "I don't remember because of the amnesia."It
After the kiss, Serenity looked at Jackson with a slightly blushing face.There was coldness and confusion in his dark eyes. The two contradicting emotions intersected in his eyes, but his face was almost expressionless!Just looking at him like this made her want to kiss him again."Do you have any idea how good-looking you are? Do you have any idea how attractive women find you? How can you be so sure that I didn't fall in love with you? How can you be so sure that I'm not captivated by you? Or do you not even have that much confidence in yourself?"While saying that, her fingertips gently brushed his lips."You..." He grabbed her hand to stop her. Her action was clearly meant to seduce him.However, when he grabbed her hand, he could clearly feel that her finger bones were somewhat abnormal.It was only then that Jackson noticed her fingers were slightly deformed. They did not look pretty at all.His eyes suddenly turned sharp. "What's wrong with your fingers...?""It's not
