Jackson's presence put Serenity at ease. She did not have to worry about anything with him around."You saved me again, Jack," Serenity muttered. "Just now, if Monica… If she wasn't distracted… You weren't going to strip naked, were you?" It hurt whenever she spoke a word, but she could not help asking.Jackson's eyes darkened, and he gazed down at her. "What if I say yes? If she wasn't distracted, I'd have continued to strip. She had your life in her hands. If I can't find a way to take her down, I'll do everything she says, even if it means humiliating myself!" Serenity stared at Jackson in shock. Would a proud man like him do this much for her?"What, you don't believe me? Don't believe I'd go this far?" Jackson asked.Serenity shook her head. "I-Its not that...""Believe it or not, it doesn't matter anymore. I'd do anything to save you," Jackson whispered. "What about you? If one day I'm in danger, would you risk everything to save me?" Jackson muttered softly, almost as tho
Serenity had betrayed him and run away from him. She claimed to love him but only married him for the children. Even though he would never be the most important person to her… It was all insignificant compared to the possibility of her leaving.Jackson suddenly thought he could tolerate anything else except letting her leave him! Not in any way! Serenity did not have the strength to climb the ladder, and he could not pull her up with just one arm. Swallowing the bitterness burning in her throat, she smiled, hoping she would escape this tragedy. But looking at the situation, she—One would always make choices in life. Maybe she would have to trade off her life for him to live, just like how she had made her choice five years ago and chosen to crash into the sea. The sound of explosions rang again. Jackson sank lower, the ground beneath him starting to collapse."Mr. Valor! The ground is about to collapse!" Someone shouted anxiously from the helicopter's hatch.Serenity knew she
Serenity watched Jackson's painful expression. He even knocked his head against the cracked ground, as if trying to stop his pain with such a painful method.But contrary to Jackson's words, Serenity didn't tighten her grip on his hand. Instead, she loosened her hand. In an instant, her delicate wrist slid slowly down between his fingers."Serenity, don't!" Jackson screamed frantically, tears now streaming down his face at some unknown point.His tears dripped onto her face...!The warmth made her feel like sacrificing everything for this man wouldn't matter, and she wouldn't regret it if she did. Because in this world, there would never be another person who loved her like he did.Similarly... "Jack, I'm sorry... for hurting you, but in this world, I must be the woman who loves you the most... Live well, you... you must live well..."She loved him so deeply. She loved him so much that even if she had to make the same choice again, she would.As the explosion sounded once agai
An explosion rocked the entire city of Solaria.This explosion caused an abandoned building to partially collapse and varying degrees of damage to the surrounding structures. Multiple parties coordinated to urgently evacuate people from nearby buildings, and this incident immediately shot up to the top of the trending searches on the internet.As the event unfolded, many netizens became even more engrossed in the developments upon discovering that Jackson and his wife were also involved in the accident.However, both the Valor family and the police had sealed off all information. All the public knew was that the criminal Monica was dead, and all the mercenaries who assisted Monica in the crime were detained and awaiting prosecution.At this moment, Serenity lay on the operating table, away from all the hustle and bustle outside. Right now, she felt a surreal sense of dreaming.Was she... really alive?Both she and Jackson were alive and well. They had narrowly escaped death!T
Her consciousness gradually blurred, and her final thoughts were... How was Jackson? Was he badly injured? When she finished the surgery and woke up, she should be able to see Jackson, right?She had so much to say, so many questions to ask him...While Serenity was undergoing surgery, Lisa, on the other hand, was undergoing various examinations. Since she still had a child in her belly, the doctor couldn't do some tests and could only judge based on their experience.Lisa had never been so nervous. She didn't care how much she was hurt, but she was deeply afraid that the child in her belly would leave her like this."Doctor, my child... are they alright? As long as my child can be saved, it doesn't matter what happens to me!" Lisa said anxiously, watching the doctor frown continuously."You currently have some signs of a possible miscarriage..."As soon as Lisa heard the word "miscarriage," her whole body turned cold. "Miscarriage? Is my child... not going to make it?"Te
"No, it's not like that!" Lisa repeated, "I was foolish... the most foolish person in the world! Back then, Terry broke up with me for my sake. He didn't do it for his family! "After five hard years, he finally gained control over his destiny. He came to find me, but I never believed what he said. He was even inflicted with Blood Parasite!"Lisa hated her past stubbornness. She still loved Terry deep down but stopped herself out of fear of getting hurt. Even the last time she went to his villa and saw Monica coming out, she assumed he was still with Monica. Lisa assumed he was just playing around with her feelings without even trying to confirm it!Why hadn't she trusted him a bit more? Why had she insisted on believing that his feelings for her were so shallow?"Blood Parasite? What is that?" Lisa's parents looked puzzled.When Lisa recounted what Monica had said to her on the rooftop to her parents, they were stunned for a long while. Finally, Austin sighed deeply. "It se
"I... My husband..." Serenity began, feeling an unusual dryness in her throat.However, she didn't feel much pain in her neck. It seemed the anesthetic hadn't completely worn off yet.But she struggled to speak. Jackson wasn't in the hospital room, which made her feel anxious. Based on her understanding of him, he would definitely be by her bedside if nothing unexpected had happened!"Mr. Valor is still in surgery. He has two broken ribs and several serious abrasions that need to be treated. It should take some more time," the doctor hurriedly explained. "Mrs. Valor, you just underwent surgery. Try not to speak for the next twelve hours to avoid straining the wound."Upon hearing this, Serenity didn't say anything further. However, her mind was consumed with thoughts of Jackson. Two broken ribs? What kind of pain had he endured?Yet she had no idea... He hadn't even mentioned it! He had escorted her to the hospital and stayed by her side as she entered the operating room.S
If Monica had asked Jackson to stab himself back then, perhaps Jackson would have acted without hesitation as well.Connor stepped out of the ward, leaving only Serenity and Jackson in the room.Although the doctor advised Serenity to stay in bed and rest as much as possible, she still got up from her bed and walked slowly to Jackson's bedside. She sat on the soft chair beside the bed and quietly watched him.Jackson was alive. He had numerous wounds, all for her sake!But as long as he was alive and well, that was the most important thing for her.Serenity raised her hand and gently stroked Jackson's hand.At this moment, his hand was also wrapped in gauze. His hand had once tightly held hers. If he had let go, he could have been safe. But in the end, he chose to abandon the lifeline and held her hands with his own.At that moment, he essentially gave up his life to live and die with her.Serenity gently held his hand, but suddenly felt his fingers moving slightly. She turned
