"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
"Deal!" Serenity replied without any hesitation, "I'll never let go. I'll hold onto your hand even if my arm breaks. But Jack... I hope that, one day, you won't let me go either. After all..." Her eyes similarly shifted to their hands. "It's stronger when both of us hold onto each other, isn't it?"His fingers moved a little, almost imperceptibly. After he heard her say that, he actually felt the urge to hold her hand...Jackson ended up eating the food that Serenity brought him. However, while he was eating, she rested her chin on one hand and kept staring at him with smiley eyes, which made him slightly uncomfortable.It's not like he never had women staring at him before, but her gaze seemed to make his blood flow faster for some reason. Since when would a woman's gaze affect him like this?That night, Serenity returned to her old bedroom, which was the room that was connected to Jackson's bedroom.To her surprise, the room remained exactly the same as the last time she stayed
Jacqueline, who was sitting to his right, looked at him curiously and asked, ''Daddy, why aren't you eating? Mommy's buns are the best! They're really yummy."She then turned to Micah and asked, "They're yummy, right?"Micah's mouth was stuffed with buns. After hesitating for a moment, he nodded his little head somewhat stiffly.He actually didn't find the buns that yummy, but... Mommy made them, so he wanted to try them. In the cartoons he watched and at his kindergarten, the kids all ate food made by their Mommies.The buns his Mommy made weren't bad, and they looked really cute.But... would Daddy eat the buns? Micah was seriously skeptical.And so, both kids looked at their Daddy expectantly. Serenity said with smiley eyes, "Try them. They're delicious. I spent a lot of effort on them." To be more precise, it took her a lot of trial and error; she finally figured out how to make them properly after failing to make them for Jacqueline countless times.Jackson pursed his lips
He looked away a little uncomfortably. He then straightened up and said, "It's fine." After that, Jackson took his son's hand and left the house.Serenity felt confused. What did he mean by "it's fine"? Did he mean that she could still do it? Did he mean that... he's fine with her touching his head?Did that mean he still had feelings for her? That he liked her?Perhaps making him fall in love with her again might not be as hard as she thought it would be."Fancy seeing you here," Caleb greeted Lucas with a smile."I'm free today, so I thought I'd come here to kill some time," Lucas said, "I might have to leave Solaria again in a few days.""Again?" Caleb was taken aback, "You only came back a few days ago.""We have a new project abroad. Someone needs to go take charge, so I volunteered," Lucas said."And your old man's fine with that?""I don't care. He can't stop me."Caleb said hesitantly, "Lucas, are you staying away from Solaria because of Serenity?"Lucas's face inst
“……” Morgan suddenly found himself unable to retort. She... wasn't wrong. “But when you play house, you can pretend to be parents with one person today and another person tomorrow. Real marriage is different; you can’t choose someone else.”Renee widened her eyes, listening intently.“The only person you can choose is me. Do you understand, Renee?” he continued.She nodded vigorously. “I understand!”“Do you really?” Morgan asked, a little skeptical. He was already fifteen, so he could grasp the concept of marriage, but she was only eight. Could she truly comprehend it?“So, in the future, I can only marry Morgan and be your bride, right? I can't be someone else's bride, right?” she asked. “I don’t want to marry other boys anyway. I like you the most, Morgan. Of course I’ll only be your bride!” she happily declared, her worries fading away.So she could be Morgan's bride when she grew up! That's great!After finishing another piece of snack, Renee thought of something. She put o
Despite her unease, she couldn’t resist when she saw the sweet desserts. She indulged herself.However, as she ate, her eyes remained fixed on Morgan, clearly still waiting for him to clarify Lucy’s claims.“You want to know if you’re a child bride, right?” Morgan began.Renee nodded.“Do you know what a child bride is?” he asked.She blinked. She had a vague idea, but not enough for her to articulate it.“To put it simply, a child bride is a girl raised by a boy's family. The girl will marry the boy when she comes of age. In the old days, some families were too poor to raise their daughters, so they would sell their daughters to become child brides for richer families,” Morgan explained.Renee blinked. “But my parents aren’t poor, and I'm raised by them, not by other people. That means I’m not a child bride, right?”“Correct, you are not,” Morgan affirmed.She breathed a sigh of relief, and a bright smile spread across her face. “I knew it! My parents would never sell me! The
"Morgan!" Renee turned to Morgan, unease etched on her face."The Moon family, eh? I'll remember this," Morgan replied calmly, then lowered his head to meet Renee's anxious and confused face. "Let's go, Renee. I’ll tell you what you want to know later."He led her away holding her hand.Benson looked worried. "Miss Lucy, how could you say that?""It's the truth!" Lucy shook off her fear and spoke defiantly. "Daddy and Mommy said she’s a child bride. A child bride is a girl sold by her own parents!""But the White family is not like that. Those things only happened to daughters of poor families in the old days," Benson explained. "You really shouldn’t have said that, Miss Lucy. You shouldn’t do that again.""Why do I have to listen to you?" Lucy retorted, displeased.Benson was too ashamed to tell Lucy in front of others that the Moon family simply couldn’t afford to offend Morgan. Dealing with the White family was already a headache, and Morgan's background was even more formi
Benson and Lucy were also dumbfounded. Benson started getting anxious. He felt like things were starting to unfold in ways that he did not expect."Mr. Grimes, I..." Benson stepped forward, intending to speak to Mr. Grimes.However, Mr. Grimes moved past Benson without so much as a glance at him. He went up to Morgan and said, "Master Morgan, I apologize for the oversight!"Everyone was stunned to hear that, including the security guards who had been called over. They were secretly relieved they hadn't forcibly removed anyone yet. If they had offended someone Mr. Grimes was showing so much respect to, it would have been really bad for them!Morgan regarded Mr. Grimes with an unreadable expression. He calmly recounted the situation to Mr. Grimes.After hearing about what happened, Mr. Grimes responded, "This set of stamps was not pre-ordered. If you like it, please take it. Feel free to take anything else in the exhibition that catches your eye."This declaration shocked every
"Who are you?!" Benson exclaimed, astonished. The mysterious figure remained silent, simply looking at Morgan.Morgan calmly reiterated to Benson, "I said, wait for Mr. Grimes." He then pulled out his phone and dialed a number. "I'm Morgan Wood. Please have Mr. Grimes from Lazy Cat Culture come to the Sleepy Cat Exhibition in Solaria. He should be in the area, right?"After ending the call, the person on the other end stared at the phone in disbelief.The Sleepy Cat Exhibition? What's going on?Benson, Lucy, and the staff stared at Morgan in shock, but the look in their eyes quickly turned to ridicule."Ah, a young man's naive bravado – how impudent!" Benson scoffed."Sir, please don't cause trouble," the staff member warned. "Or I'll have to call security."Morgan simply lowered his head to say to Renee, "Looks like we'll be here for a while. If you're bored, I can ask someone to walk around with you."Renee shook her head. "Morgan, what if this stamp set has really been p
Benson's words were not only meant to exert pressure on the staff, but also to inform him that they were on the same side.As expected, when the staff heard what he said, there was an instant change in his expression. He turned to Morgan and Renee and said, "I'm sorry, but it turns out this stamp set has already been pre-ordered by this customer."Morgan saw through the so-called pre-order as nothing more than an act. "When I asked you to wrap it up earlier, I didn’t hear you mention it was pre-ordered.""We forgot to mention that. Our apologies," the staff replied.Lucy, wearing a smug expression, raised her chin at Renee, causing Renee to puff out her cheeks in frustration.Benson calmly observed Morgan and Renee. The White family's White Maple Group had numerous overlapping businesses with the Moon Group. They were often competing with each other. Originally, the White Maple Group’s business activities weren't concentrated in Solaria, so even though there was competition wi
But before Morgan had even finished speaking, a girl's voice piped up, "I want this stamp set!"He turned to the voice and, upon seeing who it was, narrowed his eyes slightly. It was Lucy Moon, the girl Renee mentioned earlier. At the sight of Lucy, Renee immediately reacted like an angry little kitten. "Lucy Moon, why do you always try to take my stuff away?""Your stuff? How is this your stuff? You haven't paid yet!" Lucy shot back, her eyes fixed on Morgan.Morgan was well-known in their class, admired by many girls who claimed he was even more handsome than movie stars. If only Lucy had a big brother like that! She would be the envy of all the girls in class... no, all the girls in school!Unfortunately, her own big brother was not as good-looking.Last time, Lucy had tried to give Renee Sleepy Cat toys, asking for Morgan's email address in return. However, Renee accepted gifts from everyone but her, which infuriated Lucy."But if you want, I can give this stamp set to Re
Unlike many wealthy kids, Renee was quite restrained with her spending. She had never spent recklessly and often saved leftover money. Of course, when she wanted something beyond her budget, she would act cute and ask her Daddy or Morgan to buy it for her.Lisa was the least susceptible to her charms, so Renee didn’t dare to bother her!When they arrived at the exhibition, Renee’s eyes sparkled with excitement. There were so many adorable Sleepy Cat merchandise! They're all so cute! She wanted a lot of them, but realizing her limited budget, she knew she needed a sponsor! The best one was right beside her: Morgan!"Morgan," she said, flashing him a super bright smile.Seeing her like this, Morgan immediately knew she wanted to ask him for something. "What is it? Do you want me to buy you Sleepy Cat merchandise?""You’re so smart, Morgan! No wonder so many girls in our class like you and asked me for your phone number!" Renee praised him.As soon as she mentioned it, Morgan'
"Okay," Renee replied obediently, snuggling up to Morgan and acting cute. "Take me to the exhibition, Morgan! I know you’re the best. You’ll definitely take me, right?"Morgan pursed his lips. At 15, he was no longer a little boy. Although Renee was only 8, she was his destined wife.He had been protecting her since the day she was born. At first, he thought that he would only marry her because according to the family prophecy, she was the one most suitable for him. Over the years, however, he realized that his feelings for her ran deeper than he had initially thought.He found himself wanting to help her fulfill her wishes, and would clean up the mess when she caused trouble. Things had become different from what he had expected, but he welcomed them. He felt grateful that she was the one who was destined for him!With her by his side for the rest of his life, he would never feel lonely."Will you get into fights again?" Morgan asked."No more fighting, I promise!" Renee quickly
