Serenity pursed her lips slightly and spoke in a serious tone, "If I were the one whose head was in pain, you would have hugged me like that too, wouldn't you?"He fell silent. She reached up to touch his cheek, enduring the tingling pain in her hands. Her red and swollen fingers contrasted starkly with his handsome face."Jack, we're husband and wife," Serenity said. "I believe that if I were in danger, you would do everything possible to save me. Similarly, if you were in danger, I would save you too!"Jackson's eyelashes trembled slightly. "But what if I accidentally caused you serious harm, or maybe even..."He couldn't finish his sentence.Because the mere possibility, even in hypothetical terms, made him feel extremely anxious."I was scared, but I was even more afraid that you would be consumed by regret and self-blame after you regained your clarity," Serenity said. "Jack, promise me that you won't be fixated on those lost memories anymore. If you can naturally recall the
"Serenity was pregnant with triplets. She hasn’t found one of her children yet. By mere chance, I found out where that child is!" Jenny said. "If we kidnap that child, we'll have the ransom for Fred, and more. We won't have to live such miserable lives anymore!"Zeke looked at Jenny in shock. He did not expect her to come up with such an idea. "Kidnap? Are you telling me to kidnap a child? Jenny, that's a serious crime! If you know who their child is, why don't you just sell them the information for $150,000? They'll surely agree to it!""Have you forgotten that I'm a wanted fugitive? If I show up, even if they give us $150,000 to rescue Fred, I'll be caught and thrown in jail! Zeke, Fred is still so young. Can you bear to see him grow up without a mother?""I..." Zeke didn't know what to say."We can only use that child to save Fred! It's the only way! Besides, do you really want to continue living in this miserable state? Your mother and your sister are suffering. Once we have mo
Even though Micah was puzzled, he didn't ask further. However, the grandmother he had never seen still piqued his curiosity. Now that Jacqueline was asking Serenity about it, Micah also looked at Serenity expectantly.Serenity pondered for a moment and said, "Your grandmother... well, Mommy doesn't know where she is. She left home one day and never came back. Maybe she got lost."She could only reveal this much for now. She didn't want the children to be exposed to the darkness and reality of the adult world too early.Jacqueline immediately became anxious. "Grandma got lost? Then we have to find Grandma! We can't leave her all alone outside!"As the little girl spoke, tears welled up in her eyes. Serenity gently touched her daughter's head and said, "Okay, Daddy and Mommy will find Grandma."In fact, she knew that Jackson had been searching for his mother's whereabouts over the years. However... that woman seemed to have disappeared without a trace, as if she had gone with the wi
The hair was for the Valor family to conduct a DNA test so that they knew the note was telling the truth.Serenity's heart sank, and Mr. Knot asked nervously, "Madam, do you think it's real?""I... I don't know. I'll have to call Jack! And Mr. Knot, please prepare the car. I need to go out right away," Serenity instructed."Yes, Madam" Mr. Knot replied.The two children approached Serenity curiously. Jacqueline still looked confused and didn't quite understand, but Micah obviously understood. His little face was tense."Mommy, have you found our little brother?" Micah asked, automatically assuming the lost child was his younger brother."Maybe," Serenity said. "Mommy needs to go out for a while. You and Jackie stay home, okay?""Will our little brother be safe?""He will. Mommy will make sure of that!" Serenity reassured him.Serenity told the driver to head to Caden's house. Along the way, she called Jackson and gave him a brief account of the situation. Jackson said, "Don't
However, this sympathy had now turned into intense pain. When the car arrived at the apartment building where the Jenkins family lived, Serenity nearly jumped out of the car as she rushed towards the stairs.The Jenkins family lived in an old building that had no elevator, only stairs. They lived on the fifth floor. As Serenity dashed to the fifth floor, she heard yelling voices coming from one of the households."Kidnapped? Who would kidnap an orphan? What would anyone gain from kidnapping that kid? You're just conspiring with that brat to trick us to get your hands on your father's money, aren't you? Listen here, you little brat, that money belongs to your father and I. It'll never be yours!"The soundproofing in this old building was not that good, so Serenity could hear the sharp and mocking voice of Yara Jenkins, Caden's foster mother, very clearly."I saw someone drag Caden into a car with my own eyes! Caden was kidnapped!" came the anxious and worried voice of Cynthia Jenkin
But the expected pain did not arrive. Instead, Serenity heard Yara's cry of anguish, "My arm... my arm’s gonna break..."Logan Jenkins came out of the house at that moment and saw a strange man gripping his wife's arm tightly, while his wife's face turned red like a pig's liver as she cried out in pain."Who... who are you people? Let my wife go!" Logan screamed.But the stranger holding Yara's arm remained unmoved, completely ignoring Logan. He looked at the handsome man standing next to him, as if he was waiting for that man's orders.The handsome man was dressed in a neat suit, looking elegant yet stern. Logan naturally realized that was the person in charge. He said to the man, "Release my wife immediately or I'm gonna call the cops.""Go ahead," Jackson said as he gave Logan a chilling glare, and that glare gave Logan a sense of fear and trepidation.Serenity was surprised to see Jackson arrive so quickly. Her eyes instantly turned teary. "Jack... Caden really was kidnapped!
The crowd around them dispersed, and he heard the sound of footsteps going down the stairs. The doors of all the neighboring apartments in the hallway were tightly shut. Soon, not a single one of his neighbors remained in the corridor."Who... who are you people?" Logan asked with a trembling voice.Looking at Logan coldly, Jackson said, "I'm Caden's father, Jackson Valor!"Logan and Yara were shaken to the core!The ordinary apartment building was tightly surrounded by a group of people wearing black suits. Downstairs, the onlookers discussed and speculated about what was happening.On the fifth floor where the Jenkins family lived, it was eerily quiet. There was a bodyguard standing at almost every stairs, yet no one made a sound. If anyone were to pass by at this moment, they would probably think that something big was happening.In the Jenkins' living room, Yara was in excruciating pain, but she didn't dare make a sound lest she angered the man sitting on the couch.Who cou
"Will the kidnappers want a lot of money? On TV shows, kidnappers always ask for money when they kidnap somebody, so… Will you have enough money? If you don't, I'll give you all my money. I still have the inheritance from my mom. I'll talk to the lawyer. If he can give it to me in advance, I can save Caden," Cynthia spoke up, timidly and naive. "Do you know who they are? They've got so much money and don't care about your money! Caden is lucky to have them as his parents!"Cynthia ignored Yara and focused on Serenity. She did not know who Jackson was or how much power the Valor family had in Solaria, but she knew they were the only ones who would save Caden!"We'll prepare the money. Cynthia, don't worry," Serenity promised, pulling Cynthia into her arms. Cynthia's words made her feel like crying. "I'm sorry… I-I didn't protect Caden well!" Cynthia sobbed. She had been acting strong against her stepmother, holding back her fear and sadness. With Serenity's promise, Cynthia could
