She reminisced about the playful conversations they used to have, teasing each other about the future. "Terry, do you think we'll still be kissing like this when we're old and gray? Would we ever get tired of kissing?" she asked. He replied with tenderness, "We'll never get tired of kissing. Even when we're old, I'll still keep kissing you. I'll continue to kiss you until the moment we close our eyes and leave this world."But... that would never happen now. It was already impossible five years ago, and it was certainly impossible now.Lisa didn't resist or push him away. She allowed Terry to deepen the kiss.To her, it felt like a goodbye kiss. She was bidding their relationship goodbye.When the kiss eventually ended, Lisa heard Terry's hoarse voice pleading with her, "Lisa, you still love me, don't you? Do you have any idea how badly I've wanted to kiss you like that?"After five long years, he could finally touch her again without experiencing extreme pain."Lisa, listen to
He faltered, leaning against the edge of her bed for support. It seemed as though he lacked the strength to stand on his own."Am I that unworthy of your trust?" he asked weakly, his eyes filled with profound pain.The pain looked so intense that it tugged at Lisa's heart, despite her decision to sever all ties with him. She couldn't help but feel for him.But she reminded herself that it’s all a lie. Even if he had some lingering feelings for her, she's had enough. It's over between them. She's tired of being tricked by him again and again."I'll never believe a single word you say again," she heard herself say."Are you sure?" His eyelashes trembled, and his cold fingertip brushed against her lips. "Are you sure you'll never regret getting an abortion and cutting all ties with me?"She felt her lips grow cold, as if his touch froze her blood. "I'll never regret it."No, she would never regret it. She already made up her mind when she was in the emergency room.And the baby, a
Upon receiving a call from their daughter, Lisa's parents rushed to the hospital. They found Lisa lying in bed with an IV drip attached to her hand."What happened? Why are you in the hospital? Is there a problem with the baby?" Lisa's mother asked anxiously.After all, the hospital Lisa was currently in was the top maternity hospital in the city that had many renowned experts in the field."I need to stay in the hospital for a few days. I got into a car accident this morning, and the baby's condition isn't looking too good," Lisa explained."A car accident?" Lisa's parents were shocked. "You had a car accident this morning, and you're only telling us now?!" It's already 4 PM.Lisa's parents immediately asked how serious her injury was. They were relieved upon learning that she only got some bruises from hitting the roadside greenery."What about the baby?" Lisa's mother asked."It's not doing too good. The fetal heart rate is weak, and there's a risk of miscarriage at any momen
"We already have one foot in the grave. Gossip isn't gonna hurt us. We just want you to be happy," Lisa's mother said, her eyes red with emotion.By giving birth out of wedlock, Lisa would be choosing a difficult path for herself. Tears welled in Lisa’s eyes. Over the years, she had done a lot of things to make her parent's worry. She hadn't been able to repay their love and support.Lisa's father looked at his daughter and said seriously, "Are you sure you won't regret it? Raising a child isn't as easy as raising a pet. Your life will become very difficult."Lisa took a deep breath, her resolve firm. "I've made up my mind. I won't regret it. As long as the baby allows me to be its mother, I won't give up on it.""Alright, if you want to keep the baby, then do it. Our family has no problem raising a child!" Lisa's father said. Since his daughter had made up her mind, he, as her father, would protect both her and the unborn child!Lisa couldn't hold back her tears."Don't cry, h
"You didn't ask Lisa?" "Lisa didn't want to talk about it, so didn't push her," Serenity thought for a moment and said, "Jack, can you find Terry for me? I want to ask him what happened.""You're always so concerned about Lisa," he said softly."She's my best friend." Without Lisa, she wouldn't be alive."What about me? Do you care more about me or her?" Jackson leaned closer, his captivating eyes filled with both charm and desire.Although he knew that Lisa held a special place in Serenity's heart, he couldn't help but wish that he was the person Serenity cared about the most. Even if he couldn't have her all to himself, he hoped to have the biggest share of her heart.He was greedy, but only towards her."Don't tell me you're getting jealous again?" she asked. "You're my husband, and Lisa's my friend. There's no need to compare!""That's right, I get jealous even over something like this. I'm so stupid, right?" With shuddering eyelashes, he lowered his gaze and helped her fa
"Alright, I'll go with you," Jackson said. Their car thus made its way towards the Solaria Airport.Upon their arrival, Serenity found Terry in a VIP waiting room, dressed in a black trench coat and carrying a black suitcase."You're leaving Solaria?" Serenity asked, slightly breathless from her hurried arrival with Jackson after learning the VIP waiting room's location."Is there a problem?" Terry responded indifferently. "I came here for business, and now that it's taken care of, of course I'm going home.""What about Lisa?" Serenity questioned anxiously. "Are you aware that Lisa is in the hospital right now...""So? What does that have to do with me?" Terry coldly cut her off, showing no concern."You...!" Serenity walked up to Terry, raised her hand and delivered a resounding slap to Terry's face.Slap!The sound reverberated in the VIP waiting room, fortunately devoid of any eyewitnesses due to it being a private room.Terry stared at Serenity with a chilling intensity, e
Terry's indifferent attitude towards Lisa made Serenity's blood boil. She lost control of her emotions and ended up slapping him."You just care about Lisa too much," Jackson pointed out. "Besides, regardless of whether you had slapped him or not, it wouldn't have changed the outcome, judging by Terry's attitude."When Terry heard Lisa's name, his eyes looked dead, as if he had completely given up on her.As a man himself, Jackson could tell that Terry didn't abandon Lisa because he didn't love her anymore. It looked more like she had hurt him so deeply that it had crushed him."From what Terry said, Lisa's the one who doesn't want to be with him. She wants to have nothing to do with him, and Terry respects her decision," Jackson analyzed. "If you really want to know what happened, you should ask Lisa."Serenity sighed, "I'll wait for Lisa to calm down a bit first...". Bitterness tainted her words as she added, "But I'm afraid it's meaningless at this point. Did you see Terry's re
"You don't have to if you're busy. I can go by myself," Serenity said."No, I'll go with you," Jackson insisted. "Edward is your mentor, and he and his wife have been good to you and Jackie. Don't you always say that you're grateful to them? Then I'm grateful to them too."Serenity leaned against Jackson's chest and said softly, "Yeah, they were so kind to me and Jackie. Without them, life would have been much harder for us in Latveria. The Lark Jefferson incident almost tarnished Edward's reputation, and I feel so bad for that.""Don't worry, I'll definitely repay them. If there's anything they want, I'll get it for them," Jackson assured her.Serenity sighed. "They won't accept your gift. My mentor is a very upright person. Besides his passion for the law, he doesn't have any hobbies. What he cares about the most is his wife. He's concerned about her leg."Jackson raised an eyebrow. "What's wrong with her leg?""Her knee was injured in an accident, and she has been walking with
