"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
Serenity's eyes widened suddenly. She recalled the moment in the skyscraper explosion when her hand was about to slip from his fingers, what he had said."Serenity, how could you... How could you do this again?! If... If you're gone, how can I go on living..."What did he mean by "again"?Did he remember...?Serenity shuddered, a glint of disbelief crossing her eyes. Perhaps she was overthinking it. Perhaps it wasn't like that at all...As if sensing her doubts, he said, "Last time, you chose to fall off the cliff to save my life, but I couldn't hold onto your hand then. I couldn't save you...! This time, I'll grab your hand. From now on, I'll always hold your hand and never let go!"Serenity stared at Jackson in astonishment and her eyes turned red. So, had he regained his memory? Did he remember the truth about her falling into the sea?Jackson struggled to take Serenity's hand and placed it against his cheek before gently rubbing it.His movements were slow, but each one
The Valor family deliberately blocked the news and didn't let the two children know about the accident. They also brought the children back to the Valor Residence. They kept Micah, Jacqueline, and Frederick there for a few days, claiming that the kindergarten needed renovation, so it would be closed for a few days.Even though the kindergarten didn't really need renovation, the Valor family naturally had ways to make it happen.However, Micah broke the network blockade in the mansion and found news about the skyscraper explosion. From there, he discovered that his parents were in the hospital.So, Micah refused to stay put and insisted on going to the hospital to see his parents.When Jacqueline found out, she followed Micah and even packed her little backpack. She claimed that she wanted to go to the hospital to take care of her parents.With the two children causing chaos in the mansion, Elliot had no choice but to come and ask Jackson if he should bring the children to the hosp
At this moment, Micah nestled in Serenity's arms. He blew air on her neck and said, "Do you feel better when I do this, Mommy?"Serenity was warmed by her son's gesture and nodded. "Yes, I feel much better.""In the future, I'll protect Mommy. I'll chase away the bad guys and make sure Mommy doesn't get hurt again," Micah said.Serenity smiled and kissed her son's cheek. Instantly, Micah's cheeks turned slightly red. However, he didn't want to leave Serenity's embrace. His little hands naturally wrapped around Serenity's waist, and he pressed his cheek against her chest.This was his mother's scent.He would protect his mommy in the future!If he didn't have injuries and one hand wasn't hooked to an IV drip, Jackson would probably have taken his son directly from Serenity's arms.The two children originally planned to stay overnight in the hospital with their parents. Jacqueline even said that she would take good care of her parents until they were discharged, and only then woul
Serenity was happy because she knew how difficult it was for Caden to treat them like this.Caden's past life was different from that of ordinary children. Walter's style of education was erasing all the innocence of a child.Fortunately, Caden met Cynthia. This little girl gave Caden warmth and made him attached.However, it was hard for Caden to open his heart to anyone else besides Cynthia.And now, Caden showed that he had been worried about her and Jackson because of the news. Did that mean he was gradually opening up his heart to them?Perhaps one day, Caden would truly accept them.Serenity walked up to Caden and knelt so that her eyes were almost level with the child."Mommy is very happy you came to see Daddy and Mommy."Puzzlement flashed across Caden's face. It was as if he didn't understand why this person he should call Mommy would be happy. Wasn't she injured? Shouldn't she be sad?He lifted his little hand and reached for Serenity's neck. Cynthia wanted to sto
Serenity was puzzled at first, but quickly realized that the person he was talking about was Mary – before her disfigurement. She had seen a photo of Mary when she was younger, and Caden bore a striking resemblance to her. After a few more years, they might look even more alike."Jack, regardless of how you feel about Mary, Caden is our son. You shouldn't..." Serenity paused, carefully choosing her words.Jackson spoke up first, "Don't worry, I won't take it out on him. You risked your life to give birth to Caden. All three of our children are incredibly precious to me."Serenity felt relieved. After a moment, she continued hesitantly, "Edward and Mary called me because they saw the news. Mary even wanted to come back to Solaria to see you, regardless of the consequences. Jack, I believe Mary has been living in regret every day, and I think she might want to make up for her past mistakes with her life.""Even if she dies, it won't make up for her past mistakes." Jackson's voice tur
