Serenity told Jackson, "Wait here for a minute. I'll go get the medicine." After saying that, she ran out of the mourning hall.Jackson lay on the sofa. Wait for a minute?... Back then, when she went out in the middle of the night to buy medicine for him, she said the same thing.Okay, he would wait. He would wait for her to come back...Serenity rushed to the mansion's metal gate. The street lights outside the gate shone on the delivery man's bewildered face.Obviously, the delivery man did not expect to deliver medicine to such a luxurious mansion."Are you Miss Lewis?" the man asked."Yes, that's me," Serenity answered. She took the medicine from him and said thank you. She then turned around and ran back to the mourning hall.The delivery man scratched his head. Looking at the huge mansion before him, he could still hardly believe it.In the Valor Residence's security office, several security guards were watching the surveillance monitors with dumbfounded looks on their fa
He slowly opened his eyes. She really did... come back, just like last time. Even though she was scared of him, disgusted with him, maybe even hated him, she still could not bear to see him in pain, right? At the thought of that, even the pain seemed to subside a little.Jackson opened his mouth and swallowed the medicine that Serenity fed him.She could not help looking at his lips. As expected, she saw teeth marks there. He must have been in great pain earlier."If you keep looking at my lips like this, it'll make me think that you want to kiss me," Jackson said.Serenity suddenly came back to her senses. Her face instantly turned red. "I was just looking at your lips because they're bleeding. I don't have any other intentions.""Even if... you have other intentions, it's fine. If it's you, you can kiss me anytime you want," he said. Although his face was still pale and his forehead was drenched in sweat, he could talk normally now.Serenity looked away to avoid eye contact so
He would never tell anyone these things in the past, but at this moment, seeing her standing in front of his father's portrait, he told her so naturally.It was as if he could only pour out these words that were buried deep in his heart when he was talking to her."My father should have met many women back then. There were bound to be some who were even prettier than her, yet he gave up everything for such a woman. He's a fool," Jackson murmured."Your father may not necessarily love your mother because she's beautiful. When you love someone, looks may not be that important anymore. Furthermore... you'll like everything about them, be it the good or the bad," said Serenity.The light in Jackson's eyes flickered slightly. His eyes were fixed on Serenity's face. "Maybe... it's as you say. When you love someone, looks may not be that important anymore..."It was the same for him. He had seen women who were prettier and more considerate than Serenity, but only Serenity could make him
"What's wrong?" Serenity was puzzled to see Jackson stopping in his tracks."Nothing," Jackson looked back down and answered indifferently.When they returned to the main house, Serenity asked, "How are you feeling right now?""Much better," he replied."Even if the gastric pain is an old sickness, you still have to find time to go to the doctor and get treatment," said Serenity, "If you don't take care of it, it might develop into something serious.""Are you concerned about me, Sis?" he asked. The corners of his lips rose in a smile.She was stumped. She tried to go upstairs in embarrassment, but he pulled her into his arms. "Okay, I promise I'll go to the doctor. I will also take the medicine you bought every day. If I listen to you, will you like me more?""What?" She was exasperated. What was he talking about? Did he just say he would listen to her? Oh god, how was that possible? Was that something a man like him would say?He lowered his head and moved his face close to h
When Lisa could finally hang up, Serenity asked, "What did your mother say to you? You look like you're having a hard time.""What else? She set me up on a blind date." Lisa rolled her eyes. "My mother said the man this time is highly sought-after. She said it took a lot of effort to snatch him from the hands of other mothers. She wanted me to meet him."Lisa sighed helplessly.Her mother seemed to think that if she could not get married in the next two years, she would not be able to get married ever."Just go and meet him then. Take it as an opportunity," Serenity thought about it and said."Nah. I already have enough headaches. A blind date will only bring me more headaches." Lisa felt like coughing blood at the thought of her mother setting her up on blind dates."What's wrong?" asked Serenity.Lisa looked at her best friend and said, "Would you be surprised if I say that I'm dating Terry White?"Serenity almost choked on her own saliva. "You're dating Terry White? Didn't y
Lisa... She hadn't experienced too much of the darker side of the world, unlike Serenity. Serenity had seen too much of the mentioned darkness in prison. Sometimes, she didn't even have the strength to cry."Pfft!" The pudding in Lisa's mouth sprayed out before she could swallow it. She quickly grabbed a tissue to wipe it off, then said to Serenity, "Seriously, if you want to joke, at least do it when I don’t have anything in my mouth. That was too much.""I was serious," Serenity said.They stared at each other for a while, then Lisa chuckled and said, "If he really had feelings for me, it wouldn't work out. Think about how the White family is! If we got together, our life would be a constant battle within his family. With how I am, I'd probably be crushed in minutes."Ugh, so it's better not to think about these things! Once she paid off her debt to Terry, she would be free, right?"Forget about that. By the way, you said you found a new job. How is it? Is it going well?" Lisa
Alright! Lisa confirmed the man was the right person she was meeting today.Lisa stepped forward and said, "You must be Mr. Godfrey Longwell. Hello, I'm Lisa.""Hello," the man replied, studying Lisa."Um... I wanted to tell you something. I..." Lisa wanted to apologize to him. After all, she had only agreed to this blind date to appease her mother. She would be fine to treat the man to a meal and consider making a new friend, but nothing further than that.Godfrey interrupted her before she could finish, "Let's just take a stroll here for now. I see there's a small park next to the supermarket. Let's take a walk there."Huh? Go to the park?Lisa glanced at the darkening sky. It was already past five in the afternoon, nearly dinner time. "Aren't you hungry?"She was simply reminding him out of goodwill. After all, this was a crowded area, and many restaurants around here would likely have long queues during dinnertime. If they waited until they finished strolling in the pa
"Ms. Quest, who is he?" Godfrey Longwell asked."Yeah. Tell him." Terry looked at Lisa, "Who am I?" The two men kept their gaze pinned on Lisa, their gazes almost piercing through her!One was the blind date her mother had forcibly arranged, and the other was her new revengeful boyfriend, both of whom she should not offend!After careful consideration, the blind date her mother introduced was the lesser of the two. Lisa decided to keep Terry happy, so she turned to Godfrey with a sheepish smile."Ah, I almost forgot the introduction. Mr. Longwell, meet my boyfriend, uh, Mr. White."Godfrey's face turned ugly at that. "Boyfriend? You have a boyfriend?!""Y-yeah..." Lisa responded, feeling guilty. No matter how strange and awkward Godfrey had been, it was her fault in this case.Godfrey trembled in a fury, his face beet red as he cursed at her. "I kindly came to have a blind date with you, but you're actually taken! That's too much! You must give me an explanation! Are you playi
