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
She had willingly sacrificed her life not once, but twice for him. This woman had chosen to love him with her very existence. Thankfully, he now knew all this, and it wasn't too late yet.His anxious and suspicious heart had now found peace, something that had never happened before, because he now knew that the woman he loved, loved him in such a profound way!Lisa was ready to be discharged from the hospital earlier than Serenity and Jackson were.Serenity could actually be discharged already, but she decided to stay to keep Jackson company as he needed more time in the hospital. She wanted to personally care for him, despite professional caregivers being arranged by Connor. Serenity would collaborate with the caregivers and do whatever she could to help.When Lisa came to Serenity to inform her that she planned to go to Jorvik to see Terry, Serenity wasn't surprised.After all, Serenity had also heard what Monica Hart said, and she knew the depth of Terry's love for her frien
That was when he finally realized that he could never truly hold onto his grudge towards her. His threat to never forgive her was empty; he simply couldn't do it!Serenity felt a bit embarrassed when she realized that Jackson was thinking about their own misunderstanding. She said, "Jack, let's not have any more misunderstandings from now on!"If Monica Hart hadn't gloated, would Lisa have remained in the dark forever? Would she have missed out on Terry forever?Sometimes, even the most passionate love couldn't withstand misunderstandings. Serenity didn't want something like that to happen to her and Jackson one day. If they were to miss out on each other because of a misunderstanding, it would be the most regrettable and foolish thing ever."Okay," Jackson replied, "There won't be any misunderstanding between us!"Lisa, accompanied by her parents, boarded the high-speed train to Jorvik. Lisa remained anxious throughout the journey.For the past few days, whenever she closed h
Lisa's father added, "No matter what happens, you will always have our support. Our pension is more than enough to raise a grandkid!"Lisa's eyes welled up with tears when she heard that. She had made impulsive decisions, getting pregnant before marriage and choosing to keep the baby, but her parents had supported her unwaveringly.She felt incredibly grateful to have them as her parents.After saying goodbye to her parents, Lisa made her way towards the White Maple Group.Would she be able to see Terry? Would Terry be willing to see her?In hindsight, she realized how close she had been to finding true happiness. If she didn't misunderstand when she saw Monica Hart leave Terry's mansion, if she had believed in Terry's love for her and clarified things with him, would they still have parted ways?At the entrance of the White Maple Group headquarters, Lisa suddenly froze.Several figures emerged from within, with Terry leading the way.He was dressed sharply and was slightly thi
But Lisa refused to let go. "Terry, there's so much I need to say. Please, just give me a moment.""I have nothing to say to you," Terry replied, pulling his arm away. He continued towards the waiting car without even looking back.Desperate, Lisa shouted, "Terry, I love you!"Terry's subordinates and the passersby who heard her all turned to her in surprise.However, to Lisa's disappointment, Terry got into the car without a word, closing the door without looking back.Sympathetic and mocking gazes fell upon Lisa. A senior executive even reprimanded the security guards for allowing a suspicious person to get close to the CEO.The security guards quickly approached Lisa, pulling her away.Lisa's eyes remained on the car until it disappeared from sight.A security guard tried to communicate with her, but she couldn't bring herself to listen. Her thoughts were consumed by Terry's gaze and his words.She had prepared herself mentally for that to happen, but the pain was still ove
To Terry's surprise, when he arrived home at the White family mansion that evening, he saw Lisa being stopped outside the gate by the security guards.He did not expect her to come here.Lisa had also seen Terry's car. She tried to approach him, but the security guards blocked her path, preventing her from getting closer.Another security guard quickly approached Terry and relayed the message through the lowered car window, "Mr. White, this lady claims to be your friend and wants to see you.""I have no such friend. Chase her away!" Terry responded, and the car window rolled back up.As Terry's car entered the White family mansion, the security guard told Lisa, "Mr. White said he doesn't have a friend like you. Please leave and stop daydreaming!"The security guard clearly mistook Lisa for one of those women who sought to get close to Terry, hoping to climb the social ladder.Though embarrassed, Lisa refused to leave. She took out a foldable stool from her bag and unpacked water
Lisa finished packing, but before she could call a taxi, she was stopped by the security guard at the gate. "Ma'am, Mr. White wishes to see you. You may enter now," the security guard's tone and demeanor were much more respectful than before.Lisa was taken aback, a mixture of surprise and joy crossing her face. Terry wanted to see her?! She could finally have a proper conversation with him and seek his forgiveness!But... would he forgive her?The image of Terry outside the White Maple Group headquarters flashed through her mind once again. She quickly shook her head, telling herself not to overthink. The most important thing now was... she could finally see him!Lisa entered the White family mansion and was escorted to the living room by the servants. The living room was grand and opulent, but it emitted an inexplicable coldness.Terry was standing in the center of the living room, his handsome face exuding a sense of coldness."All of you may leave. No one is allowed in here
Lisa approached Terry, her voice trembling. "But I understand now. Five years ago, you agreed to Monica Hart's conditions and broke up with me to protect me. Five years later, you once again protected me from Monica Hart even though you were suffering from the blood parasite that made you feel immense pain every time you touched me. You let Monica Hart into your mansion in order to remove the parasite..."Terry remained emotionless, his face devoid of any expression as he listened. Her tears, sobs, and regrets seemed to hold no significance to him."Oh, so now you know?" he finally responded, his tone indifferent.Lisa bit her lip. "That day, when I went to the mansion to find you, I wanted to tell you that we could start over. But when I saw Monica Hart leaving your mansion, I thought that you and her... I didn't realize it was because of the blood parasite. I misunderstood!""Yes, you misunderstood," Terry murmured. "But if you could misunderstand so easily, you must have never t
