Lucas returned to his car. He looked out at the dark night outside the window and could not help but chuckle wryly.So that was the truth behind the supposed accident! Serenity had chosen to jump into the sea–and it was all for Jackson!She loved him so deeply… So deeply that she would sacrifice her own life, along with that of her three children, just to save Jackson, even though she had risked her own life to carry the triplets in her belly, so there was no denying how much she loved her children.Nevertheless… the one she loved most was still Jackson Valor!— Caden finally woke up, and Serenity, accompanied by Jackson, went to visit him at the hospital where he was staying. Cynthia was with the boy in his room. She was the only person from the Jenkins family that Jackson allowed to come to visit Caden at the hospital. Meanwhile, the rest of the Jenkins completely regretted how they had treated Caden when they found out that the boy was the Valor family's missing child. If on
"But I don't like them," said Caden."Why not?" asked Cynthia. "They're good people!""But they'll separate me from you, won't they? I might not get to live with you anymore! I don't like them, and I don't want them to be my Daddy and Mommy!"As Caden spoke, he reached out both of his arms and hugged Cynthia, burying his little face in her chest. He was clearly very attached to her. And now, he was back to being an obedient little kitty.Cynthia looked sad when she heard what Caden had said. She turned to Jackson and Serenity and asked, "Are you really going to take Caden away, Uncle Jackson, Aunt Serenity?""Caden is our son," replied Jackson. "Naturally, he'll come back to our family and live with us, but if you'd like to meet each other, you can always come and visit.""I don't want to live with you!" argued Caden. "I just want to live with Sis!"The boy then hugged Cynthia a little tighter now, and the look he gave Jackson and Serenity was even more full of hostility. To him
"Also," Jackson added, "make sure you cough up every penny you got paid for taking my son in! If you pay even one penny less than what you got, I'm sure you can imagine what kind of consequences you'll suffer!"After speaking, he quickly led Serenity away from there.Logan and Yara were then left there stupefied.They had expected to get on the Valors' good side, but now, it seemed that they needed to somehow cough up the money to pay them. How ridiculous!When Serenity and Jackson got back to Valor Residence, Mr. Knot came up to them and informed them, "Miss Jacqueline would not let anyone take that child away. She even handcuffed herself to him and flushed the key down the toilet!""That child?" Serenity asked, startled. "What child?""Jenny Hall's son," replied Jackson.Jenny Hall's son? Serenity immediately realized that it was the boy who was the very talented pianist at the exhibition. But still…"How did he end up being with Jackie? And what is he doing here in Valor Res
As for the question of when they could visit Caden…"Caden will come home once he gets out of the hospital, so you'll both see him then.""Okay!" Jackie replied. "I'll definitely be a good big sister!"She had decided that she would much prefer being a big sister!Just then, Fred, who had been silent all this time, suddenly asked, "Will my mommy go to jail?"The sound of his innocent voice asking such a question suddenly turned the atmosphere gloomy and serious. Serenity turned to the boy. There had indeed been too many grievances between herself and Jenny Hall, yet this child was innocent."The judge will decide on the matter," she explained, not having the heart to be too bluntly honest."Okay," responded Fred. His head then drooped down, and he said nothing more afterward."Come on," Jackson reminded Serenity, "it's time to go back to the hospital. If you're away from the hospital for too long, the monitoring of your hands' condition will be interrupted, and it might affect
When Jackson entered the room, he found Jacqueline and Fred on the bed. Fred appeared to be fast asleep, while Jackie was engrossed in a fairy tale book, playfully pretending to tell a story. Nearby, a maid dutifully attended to their needs.Spotting Jackson, the maid promptly stood up. "You may go now," Jackson told the maid. Respectfully acknowledging his request, the maid quietly exited the room."Daddy?" Jacqueline looked at Jackson with confusion. The butler told her that Daddy would stay at the hospital for a few days to keep Mommy company. Why did he come home?"Were you telling Fred a story?" Jackson asked gently, shedding his cold and distant demeanor in front of his daughter. In front of her, he was just an ordinary father."Yes!" Jacqueline replied, her voice quieter than usual because she didn't want to wake Fred up. "He couldn't fall asleep, so I thought I'd tell him a story. Whenever I can't sleep, Mommy always tells me stories to help me sleep."Jacqueline paused fo
He gently stroked his daughter's hair, a gentle smile appearing on his face. "Daddy would never cut off his hand. Daddy’s not a bad guy. Daddy just wants you to know that even if you handcuff your hands together, it's actually not that hard to separate you two."Jacqueline blinked her eyes. "You promise you won't cut off Fred's hand, Daddy?""I promise," Jackson, like a kind father, looked at his daughter with indulgence. His gaze was filled with affection. His daughter looked a lot like Serenity. It made up for his regret of not knowing Serenity when she was little somewhat. "But, Jackie, if you like Fred, you could have just told Daddy. You didn't have to do this.""If I'd told you, you would have let Fred stay?" Jacqueline asked."Daddy will agree to any request you make as long as it's reasonable," Jackson said in a gentle tone, his smile becoming even softer. "You're Daddy's daughter, and Daddy will give you the best of everything. As for Fred, if you truly like him, then he c
If he couldn't play the piano anymore, then maybe Jackie... wouldn't like him anymore? He wanted to play the piano for her.The Valor family blocked the news, so Lisa didn't know that Serenity had found her lost child. She also didn’t know that the child was kidnapped and that her friend had almost lost her life!Lisa tried calling Serenity but couldn't get through, so she called Jackson instead. She learned about everything from him.Lisa immediately took leave from work and rushed to the hospital to check on Serenity."Serenity, your hands..." Lisa immediately froze upon seeing her friend's hands wrapped in bandages.When she learned that her friend would undergo surgery a few days later for her hands and the surgery had a low chance of success, Lisa inhaled sharply."If... the surgery fails...""Then my hands will stop functioning. But... even if that happens, I still have my mouth and my legs. You can also operate a lot of things with just your voice nowadays. Even withou
"No, you can't!" Serenity said in a hurry.Lisa looked puzzled. "Why not? Then what kind of medicine should I get?"Serenity pursed her lips and hesitated. "Have you... had sex recently?"Lisa was taken aback, and after about ten seconds, she realized what her friend was implying. Her pale face instantly turned bright red."I... I'm not saying it's definitely the case, but if you are pregnant, then... you probably shouldn't take any medication without consulting a doctor first," Serenity quickly said.Lisa looked at Serenity, then glanced at her own flat abdomen. She... might be pregnant?If she's pregnant, then the baby... could only be Terry's!But... that would be so absurd!She had once hoped to have a child with that man, but that was because she wanted to spend the rest of her life with him back then. If she really got pregnant with Terry's baby now, their relationship would only get more complicated!She finally managed to cut all ties with Terry, and now this happened?
