As time ticked, Serenity sat in the chair, watching the footage of Zeke on the computer. Not wanting to miss any details, she paid full attention and observed the surveillance footage carefully. When she recognized the woman approaching Zeke, she stood up with a start, surprising Jackson."What's wrong?" Jackson asked as he hurried to Serenity's side."That woman! It's Jenny!" Serenity pointed at the blurry image of the woman approaching Zeke in the security footage. Serenity recognized Jenny instantly even though Jenny had changed a lot since then. After all, the haunting memories of Jenny constantly tortured Serenity. Narrowing his eyes, Jackson joined Serenity in watching this footage. Serenity froze when she saw Jenny beckoning a child to Zeke.Serenity recognized the boy and remembered him for playing the piano so well on the show the other day. Was he related to Jenny? Could he be Jenny's kid?Why did Jenny take the kid to see Zeke? Could it be... Was the boy Zeke's kid?
Jackson read the reply, his face darkening with fury. He sent another reply, but the kidnappers never answered him."I'll go. Jenny and Zeke seem very determined to get me over there!" Serenity insisted on going. Jackson pursed his lips tightly and said nothing, clearly disagreeing with Serenity."Jack, I'll protect myself, and… I'm still going, even if you disagree. I'll get him back safely. It's the only thing I can do for him as his mother!" Serenity said stubbornly, determined to save Caden. Jackson sighed helplessly, knowing there was nothing he could do to change her mind. He could not go against her wish. At last, he simply said, "Well then, let's take a gamble. If anything happens to you, I'll be with you!" Serenity shook at Jackson's answer. She understood what his words meant—he would die for her!Serenity forced herself to sleep that night. She needed enough sleep to have the strength and energy to save Caden.Jackson slowly fluttered his eyes open after Serenity
"We'll tell you after we receive the money and leave here safely. I need some safeguard, obviously," the female voice said."Okay. You’d better keep your word or you'll regret it!" Serenity took a deep breath and began to make the transfer on the laptop. After the money was transferred into the designated bank account as requested, the masked man handed the unconscious Caden to Serenity. As soon as Serenity caught Caden in her arms, the man said in a deliberately lowered voice, startling Serenity. "Sorry.""You…" Serenity was about to say something but was interrupted by the female voice that suddenly shrieked with laughter. "The money's in! Serenity, this is what you owe me! Look around you. I’ve found the perfect place for you! Now you can die here with the man you loved, isn't that great?""What did you just say?!" The masked man, or rather, Zeke, shouted. What the hell was Jenny doing?! Zeke was shocked to realize that things were completely different from what Jenny had promi
Jenny turned her head, looking at the live surveillance footage on her phone. Jackson was still at the bottom of the hill, and no one was supposed to be at her door. The reality was completely different from the footage playing on her phone. Jackson appeared at her place, his men surrounding this place."Why? Why are you here?! You're not supposed to be here! Why is the live footage completely different?!" Jenny gasped in shock. "Not everything in this world is real. Just like you. You have a fake identity and used your son to deceive Zeke. So, why can't I be here?" Jackson shot Jenny a cold look. "Your two accomplices have been arrested. Jenny, it's game over. Now, you'll have to pay for what you've done." Jenny's eyes grew impossibly wide, terrified at the situation. Her two accomplices were her biggest fans back then, one of them a wanted criminal. They were involved with the kidnapping this time, and if they got arrested, what about her?"This is the end!" Jackson declared,
Connor's breath hitched, his mind flashing back to the past when Jackson left his last words and pressed the detonator regardless of his own safety.Jackson took the car and drove toward the mountains, the explosions still ringing. No one dared to stop him from leaving, so Connor and the rest quickly followed behind.Jenny froze and watched as Jackson drove away. Would Jackson risk his life to save Serenity? Jenny then remembered how her sister Mira could never have the love she wanted, yet Serenity had it so easily. "Mira, can you see this? The man you love loves another woman, and he is willing to risk everything for her!" Jenny laughed mockingly, wondering how Mira would feel when she saw Jackson loving another woman like this. If Jenny could meet her sister after death, she would laugh at her sister! Mira loved Jackson with all her heart but never got what she wanted. But maybe her sister hated her more. She planned her sister's death for her family's wealth and even made Ser
As Lucas and Serenity ran, an explosion blasted nearby. In that instant, the rocks and trees in the area shattered into pieces, blasting in all directions.Lucas instinctively protected Caden in his arms and shielded Serenity from the flying debris. Serenity heard a muffled grunt in her ears and urgently asked, "Lucas? You okay?""I'm fine. Get down the mountain first!" Lucas said, his face slightly pale. Lucas stood up, but his face changed sharply as he sensed danger. The ground under his feet was sinking quickly! The explosion earlier had damaged the mountain trail!Lucas quickly threw Caden into Serenity's arm, pushing her to safety. Everything happened almost in a flash of lightning.The next moment, Lucas felt himself falling. Was he going to die here? He never thought he would die in such a way, but maybe sacrificing himself to save Serenity was worth his life.Lucas regretted how he could not help Serenity and save her when she needed it the most, and perhaps it was fa
"He has lost his memories, but I'm sure he'll recover them soon… Jack may have forgotten about me, but he's starting to remember some of our past… Lucas… I can't hold on any longer… Q-Quick!" Serenity gasped, her voice becoming strained. Serenity cast a sidelong glance, checking on Caden, who was still unconscious on the ground. Realizing that Lucas had no intention of grabbing her wrist, she stretched out her other hand to grab Lucas' hand with both her hands. By doing so, she could not avoid getting closer to the hole that had appeared as the ground caved in. If another explosion were to happen, she would fall.Luca's eyes widened in alarm. "Do you realize what you're doing?!""Yes," Serenity answered, a layer of sweat breaking out on her forehead. "Lucas, you saved me. I can't just leave you here. I have to save you! If I let go, I'll never forgive myself…" she breathed heavily, sweat dripping down her cheeks and onto his.Serenity made the same decision as back then. She he
"How are you? You okay?" Jackson asked, concerned and worried about Serenity. "I'm fine, but Caden is still not waking up. I don't know what kind of drugs they fed him. He's been sleeping all this time. Oh, where is Jenny? We need to get the antidote from her!" Serenity said anxiously. "Let's get down the mountain first," Jackson said, carrying Serenity in his arms. "Jenny has been restrained. We'll make her hand over the antidote later whether she likes it or not!"After the initial worry, Serenity breathed a sigh of relief and put her head on Jackson's shoulder, relaxing in his arms. Jackson headed quickly down the hill with Serenity in his arms. Meanwhile, his men followed behind, protecting Micah and the unconscious Caden.A few bodyguards surrounded Lucas and offered to help, "Mr. Gomez? Do you need our help?" "No, I can walk," Lucas refused and walked with them. The bodyguards followed without saying anything else.Lucas walked step by step, his eyes constantly watchin
