Chapter 1761

Author: Anastasia Marie
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

    The two men looked at each other in silence. No one spoke, and the atmosphere suddenly became a little tense. As the tension grew, Connor hurriedly came over and broke the silence. "Mr.Valor! We've sent Caden to the hospital. The doctor has treated Caden with gastric lavage and supportive measures. We suspect Jenny only fed Caden with sleeping pills, but we'll need to ask Jenny for details," Connor reported to Jackson. "Also, we found Zeke, but he's seriously injured," Connor added, inquiring about Jackson's decision to save or not to save Zeke.Zeke's family had no extra money to save him under their current condition. Besides, Zeke was a kidnapper, so there was no value in saving him. "Save him. I want Zeke alive!" Jackson ordered, his voice cold.Connor flinched, realizing Mr. Valor's true intention. Mr. Valor wanted Zeke alive to suffer in prison for the rest of his life. In this case, perhaps dying would be an immediate relief for Zeke.Connor's mind was still on Zeke whe

    Lucas turned to Jackson with an indifferent look and asked, "Don't tell me that you suspect me of being involved in this matter?""I know you're not," said Jackson. "I just want to know the reason."Lucas pursed his thin lips. If he did not reveal his reason to Jackson now, he would still need to inform the police about it later, and Jackson would find out from them sooner or later anyway."A production crew under the Gomez company suddenly had an uncommonly high demand for gunpowder," Lucas explained, "far exceeding the amount usually required by a film crew, so I asked someone to look into it, but I never thought that I'd find out that one of Jenny Hall's obsessive fans was involved, and the trail led to Jenny herself. I had initially planned to track her definite whereabouts before informing the police about it because I never thought that…"Jackson sarcastically interrupted, "You never thought that what Jenny Hall planned to do far exceeded your expectations, huh?"Lucas purse

    Lucas looked up at the man in front of him and said, "So what if that's true? Besides, I think she wouldn't just do nothing and watch me die even if I hadn't saved her life or Caden's."Because she was not that type of person!Ever since she was young, justice had always been important to Serenity. Why else would she have chosen to become a lawyer? Especially when she had once again chosen the same career path after having gone through dramatic ups and downs in her life.What had attracted Lucas to Serenity, more so than their encounter when they were young, was her steadfast and unchanging righteousness as well as her calm elegance. For someone who was used to the fake masks and intrigues of the wealthy society, these qualities were indeed precious to him. Besides, if his attraction to her had really been just because of his childhood obsession, he would have fallen in love with Lynette Blossom instead of her!"That's enough!" yelled Jackson. "So what even if she wouldn't watch yo

    At that moment, her mind was filled with thoughts of her child!"Caden's fine," Jackson assured her. "His stomach has been flushed. Jenny Hall never revealed what the antidote was, but the police found out that she purchased some sleeping pills at the pharmacy recently, which is consistent with the doctor's suspicion.""Sleeping pills?" Serenity was startled. "How much did he end up swallowing? How long will he sleep?""He didn't swallow all that much," Jackson explained. "He'll wake up tomorrow. By then, I'll ask the doctor to give him a thorough examination. Now, don't worry about him anymore. Even the doctor said it's not that serious."Only then did Serenity sigh in relief, and she began to notice that she was in a room that she did not recognize. There were also many instruments in the room, some of which had wires that were connected to her fingertips."Am I in a… hospital?""Yeah," Jackson replied. "You'll have to stay here for a few days. They're well-equipped to accurate

    “……” 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!

    "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
