"Who knows? Adoption for unusual reasons can be pretty common. I've heard about some families that adopt children for pretty strange reasons," Lisa said, pouting.Serenity pursed her lips, pondering something. Just then, Cynthia came running back carrying a small satchel instead of a school bag this time. She took Caden's hand and said to Serenity, "Aunt Serene, let's take Caden to the hospital.""Alright. Let's go," Serenity said, smiling. Lisa shrugged. When everyone got into the car, Serenity asked Cynthia, "Did you talk to your parents when you got home?""Well, I left a note," Cynthia said, but she knew it did not really matter. Her father would not care if she and Caden were out all night, let alone her stepmother. Besides, her stepmother would love to see her and Caden gone.Lisa drove the car to the hospital. While they were on the way, Serenity saw Cynthia holding Caden's hand tightly. The siblings were very close, and it seemed like they only had each other to rely on.

After the doctor's consultation, the group went to pick up the medication. The doctor prescribed a couple of ointments and a pain-relieving spray for Caden. Serenity handed the medication to Cynthia. "Here, these are Caden's medicine. You have to apply the ointment a couple of times a day. There are instructions written on the label. Can you read them?""I can!" Cynthia agreed readily."From now on, I’ll have to trouble you to help Caden with his medication," Serenity said."It's no trouble! Caden is my brother!" After putting the medications into her small satchel, Cynthia pulled out several crumpled rolls of money ranging from a dollar or two to as much as fifty dollars. "Here is 93 dollars. I know it's not enough for the bill today. Once I've saved enough, I'll give you the rest!" Cynthia said, behaving like a grown adult. She took out her stash of money all at once, giving Serenity all her savings.Serenity smiled at the stash of crumpled money but refused to accept it. "No

Cynthia tried stuffing the pile of crumpled money into Serenity's hands again. Serenity accepted the 'special' money this time. "Okay, I'll take this. You can pay me back the rest when you have enough. Now, let's get you two home."Lisa drove and took the kids to their home. When they arrived at their destination, Lisa and Serenity dropped off the kids at the door. Cynthia's stepmother, Yara Jenkins, opened the door. When she saw the kids, she immediately yelled at Cynthia, "Where have you been? If you don't like staying in this house, take this leech with you and get out of there!""I left a note. I took Caden to the hospital," Cynthia said calmly."You left a note? Hmph! The hospital? The both of you must have been fooling around! Did you damage someone's property? Do you need me to pay for it? I'm telling you, the family's money has nothing to do with your short-lived mom. It all belongs to me and your father!" Yara scolded, assuming that Serenity and Lisa had come to their house

Jackson stared at Serenity, feeling puzzled. "Why are you suddenly thinking of adopting a child?""Remember that boy I met when we were at the amusement park? I went to Clara's place today, and I saw the kid again. His name is Caden..." Serenity then told Jackson about what had happened in the day."The boy isn't blood-related to his current family. He was adopted, and his adoptive parents were unkind to him. I think they'll continue to abuse him, maybe frequently." Serenity had talked to Caden's parents earlier, but she did not think they would stop after what she had said. After all, it would be hard to change when abusing the kid became a habit."The kid was adopted by his current family. If that's the case, can we get his current family to dissolve the adoption and let us adopt him?" Serenity suggested.Jackson smiled. "You seem to care about the child a lot. Do you like him that much?""Maybe because he's about the same age as Micah and Jackie," Serenity explained and hesitat

"Yeah. I’ll never get back together with him. Not now, not ever," Clara said frankly. "We'll never go back to how we were before.""Is it true you'll never love him again? He was wrong, but he's trying to make up for it. Will it never change your mind?" Jackson asked straightforwardly."Jack!" Serenity exclaimed, worried Jackson's questions would make Clara uncomfortable. Wanting to hear Clara's answer, Jackson continued staring at Clara uncharacteristically. "Yes. I won't love him again, even if he spends the rest of his life making up for his mistakes, even if he lives in regret," Clara answered in a calm and decisive way.Jackson furrowed his brow. "But why? He hurt you because he was blinded. He didn't hurt you on purpose." "No. He was the one who approached me in the beginning and intentionally made me fall in love with him. He had many opportunities to investigate the truth, but he never did. He was wired to believe what he wanted to believe and preferred to treat me as

Caden saw no difference between a wound that healed quickly and one that healed slowly. The pain never bothered him, after all. "You should get your injuries treated even if it doesn't hurt. If you don't, it may affect your health in the future. I know you don't feel much pain this time, but what if you hurt your bone? If you don't get it treated, you'll walk with a limp forever," Serenity explained as simply as possible.Caden remained silent, pondering Serenity's words. Serenity added, "Do you want to live in a different home? Would you like to come and live with us? No one will hurt you again, and you won't get these injuries again."Caden grew wary, showing a defensive look on his face. The way he looked at Serenity changed. He was full of hostility, like a small animal ready to fight back, attacking its predator. Serenity's heart ached at the change in Caden's eyes. Was Caden treating her like an enemy? Jackson took a step forward and stood between the little boy and Seren

Jackson took a last look at the boy before leaving, lost in thought. He remained silent the whole time, even after getting into the car. "Something on your mind?" Serenity asked, finally bringing Jackson back to his senses. "No, it's nothing. Let's go home," he said, a small smile forming on his lips.At night, Jackson wandered to the memorial hall. He walked in, staring at his late father's black and white photo on the wall. His father had a smiling face with smiling eyes and a gentle smile spreading across his face like sunshine.Jackson observed his father's eyes and realized the shape of his eyes was similar to the boy he had seen earlier, Caden. Jackson had met the boy at the playground before, but he had only taken a brief glance at him. Serenity had told him a lot about Caden, but he did not get a good look at the boy until this day. Jackson had not noticed the similarities at first, but then he realized the child's eyes were like his father's, except for the look in his e

"It's nothing. I just suddenly thought of coming here to take a look," Jackson said. He realized Caden might be the child they lost, but he did not want to tell Serenity anything before the results came out. Things had not concluded, and she might get happy too early."Having a bad day?" Serenity asked."Hmm? You think I'm here because I'm in a bad mood?" Jackson mused with a slight twinkle in his eyes."And is that why you're here?" Serenity gazed at him, her eyes filled with concern."No." Jackson shook his head. "I'm not in a bad mood. On the contrary, I'm in a pretty good mood," he said, taking her into his arms.Jackson knew she would be overjoyed to find her missing child, especially if Caden turned out to be their lost child. Perhaps her genuine smile would return, replacing her recent smiles that were with a hint of lingering sadness in her eyes."Something made you happy today?" Serenity asked, puzzled."Well, you're here right by my side. Isn't that enough to make me h
