Mary had a fever! But right now, she had no idea what the situation was, let alone where Edward and Mary were!Just then, someone said, "Was it a nightmare?"Serenity suddenly trembled, feeling a shadow looming over her. She stared blankly at the person in front of her.It was Jack!But at this moment, the room was dimly lit. She could only vaguely make out his silhouette and was unable to see his expression clearly."What did you dream about?" he asked."Nothing... I don't really remember," she replied vaguely.Really? His gaze flickered slightly in the dim light as he gently touched her cheek, knowing full well what she had dreamt about.She dreamt about him and about that woman and Edward, right?Jackson heard her calling his name in her dreams, along with Edward and... that woman!"Sorry for waking you up. I'll go wash my face," Serenity said as she pulled back the covers. She got out of bed and headed to the bathroom.She closed the bathroom door behind her and look
"Are you worried about her?" Jackson asked instead of replying to her question."She once took care of me. I can't be completely indifferent," Serenity replied.He raised his hand and gently brushed her swollen eyes. "But even if you know her condition now, what's the point?""Jack, if you really want to get revenge against Mary, at least get her a doctor. Otherwise, with such a high fever at her age, she might lose her life," Serenity said.Jackson suddenly chuckled. "She's just 'might' lose her life, but my father... He actually lost his life! And Serenity, do you know what real revenge is? She just has a fever right now!"I didn't have someone turn her into a bloody mess. I didn't cut off her tongue, gouge out her eyes, or break all her limbs. I'm already quite merciful. What more do you want from me?"If it weren't for Serenity, he might have made that woman suffer even more!Serenity gasped in shock as she looked at the person before her.Jackson gently brushed the hair
Lucas regretted the countless times when he had just been slightly out of reach. He thought about it often. Back then, when she had come to him for help...If he had intervened, could their fate have been rewritten?Or... was it really as Serenity said? No matter what he did, the person she loved would always be Jackson?Just then, Lucas's phone rang. He picked it up and frowned.The person using this number usually wouldn't call him, unless...Lucas answered and heard a voice on the other end, "Master Lucas, someone has come with the amethyst flower, asking us to find the whereabouts of two individuals."Lucas's grip tightened on the phone, and then he instructed the caller, "Whatever the person demands, fulfill all of her requests.""Understood, Master Lucas." The call ended.Lucas looked down at his phone, a hint of contemplation crossing his features. He had left that address just in case, fearing that Serenity might really encounter some difficulties.But he hadn't ex
At first, she was drowning in debt with no way out. She was almost on the brink of selling herself in a nightclub when suddenly someone approached her. They told her that if she agreed to bear a child through IVF for a man of significant status, she would receive a large sum of money.This money would not only clear her family's debts but also provide her with enough to live a prosperous life in the future. It was much better than scraping by in a nightclub.Naturally, she was tempted, so she began communicating with the middleman.She had assumed that the man who wanted her to surrogate his child must have had some kind of flaw. However, to her surprise, the man who appeared before her was handsome and well-built. Later, she discreetly discovered online that this man was actually a prince in the entertainment industry!The fact that a prince wanted to have a child with her felt like a dream to her. So, she immediately agreed to be a surrogate mother. Today, she put a lot of ef
This child could compensate for their parents' regrets. Regardless of whether it was a boy or a girl, they would inherit everything from the Gomez family in the future.Lucas reached into his pocket and took out a small silver bracelet. It was the only thing he had left that belonged to Serenity. He held the bracelet tightly against his chest and closed his eyes slowly. Then, he murmured, "Serenity..."For him, that was a name he would remember for a lifetime!Some missed opportunities, he realized, were regrets that could never be rectified in a lifetime!-"What? Lisa is in the emergency room?" When Serenity received the call from Lisa's parents, she was stunned. "How did she end up there?""She received an injection today to help with her pregnancy at the community hospital. After that, she came back and took a nap. "Afterward, she felt unwell. She even vomited after dinner! Her complexion was off, so we brought her to the hospital. But she fainted on the way," Hersha expl
"Lisa is my best friend. If she's in trouble, I'll help her no matter what," Serenity said.After the results of the blood test came out, the team of specialists arranged by Jackson urgently consulted Lisa.When Lisa woke up, she learned that there had been an issue with the miscarriage prevention injection administered at the community hospital.There was an additional component in her blood that would accelerate her heartbeat. It would affect the fetus's heartbeat, and this would often result in the death of the fetus."How could this happen? How could the miscarriage prevention injection go wrong?" Lisa's face was full of disbelief, and she nervously held her hands over her abdomen. "My child... my child...!""The child is currently fine, but we need to observe further. The medication was injected directly into your bloodstream, so the impact is more direct," Serenity said, trying to downplay the issue."Why did this happen? Why did the injection go wrong?" Tears welled up i
"Mary has been regretting all this time. She's actually kept you in her heart all along..." Serenity said."Don't mention her again," he interrupted, "I don't want to hear about her anymore."Serenity hesitated and ultimately dropped the topic.Back at Valor Residence, both children were already asleep. Serenity and Jackson returned to the bedroom. As Jackson changed out of his clothes, the scar on his chest caught her eye.Her heart twinged again. The scar was so prominent, a reminder of the injuries he had suffered.With today's medical technology, such scars could easily be removed with laser treatment. Yet, he chose to keep it. It was a reminder of the harm his mother had caused him, right?"Jack, are you really happy like this?" Serenity asked abruptly."What?" he turned to look at her.She walked up to him, gently running her fingers over the scar on his chest. "You've never really let go of the past. Are you truly happy?"He tensed, his gaze complex as he looked at he
However, Serenity continued to hold onto Jackson tightly. She deepened the kiss as if this moment was everything to her.After what seemed like an eternity, the kiss finally ended. By that time, she was thoroughly soaked."What's wrong?" Jackson asked, wiping the water droplets off Serenity's face."It's just... I suddenly felt the urge to tell you that I love you!" Serenity said. Her petite chin, delicate nose bridge, and almond-shaped eyes glistened with moisture. Her rosy lips were slightly parted, and they appeared alluring and endearing. If anyone saw her, one wouldn't imagine she was the mother of three children."You ran in here just to tell me you love me?" He chuckled, finding her behavior somewhat surprising."Yeah," she said.She slid her fingers gently over his eyebrows, the corners of his eyes, his nose bridge, and finally stopped on his lips. "Jack, I want you to know that you're the one I love the most."She cupped his face as he carried her out of the bathr
