"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
Serenity wanted to say something, but she was in too much pain. As the pain grew, she clenched her teeth, her forehead dripping with cold sweat.Jackson carried Serenity to the car and told the driver to drive to Mr. Smith's clinic.Meanwhile, Connor quickly arranged for Caden to be taken to the hospital. Connor had contacted the hospital to check on the unconscious Caden. "Uncle Connor? Will Mommy and Caden be okay?" Micah asked, his face full of worry."Your dad is with her. I'm sure she'll be alright," Connor reassured."But..."Micah chewed on his lips. "Dad seemed so worried." Micah had never seen his dad like that. Dad seemed more worried than anything he had seen. It reminded him of the time he saw his teacher panicking after realizing a little kid was missing! Somehow, Micah had a feeling that Dad would go crazy if anything happened to Mom. "That's because your dad loves your mom deeply," Connor explained."Daddy loves Mommy deeply?" Micah repeated, doubt flashing in th
Charlie, the patient teasing Mr. Smith earlier, thought he was watching a scene from a TV show and stared at the scene in disbelief. Then he heard Mr. Smith shouting, "Mr. Valor! What happened to the girl? How many days has it been? Why did she hurt her hands again?! This completely defeats the purpose of treating her!"Mr. Valor?! Charlie heard a name that jolted him out of his haze. He knew there was one big shot by that name, but he could not believe it. There was no way that big shot would come to a small clinic like this.Jackson's action surprised Charlie even more. Jackson knelt down before Mr. Smith, begging for his help. "Mr. Smith, please. Please treat her hands. I don't want this to be the biggest regret of her life!"Jackson could not leave Serenity's damaged hands untreated. Serenity still had her career as a lawyer! And her children… She would need these hands to hold them. Jackson could not bear to see Serenity lose her hands. If she were to lose the senses of her han
