A few days ago, Yanny had seen the birthday gift she had prepared for Serenity and curiously asked about it. So, Clara told her son that on the twenty-second of this month, it would be Serenity's birthday and that she would give Serenity the gift as a surprise. Little did she expect that her son would also remember Serenity's birthday.Considering Serenity's kindness to Yanny, how could he not care about her? Children were always innocent and straightforward. Whoever treated them well would naturally become their close ones."I want to pick a gift for Aunt Serene myself," Yanny said earnestly.Clara hesitated upon hearing this. Serenity had helped Yanny so much, and without Serenity's assistance, Yanny wouldn't have been able to use such a good hearing aid so quickly. It was only right for her son to choose a gift for Sere on his own. However, malls were crowded, and selecting a gift would inevitably take up quite a bit of time outside. The longer they stayed outside, the gr
It's... Wilson Birch!He was in a suit and his hair was meticulously-combed, just as she remembered. The sight of him made her heart ache.Time had been kind to him as he remained handsome.She, however, was wounded all over and was no longer the same person she was in the past.Seemingly sensing her gaze, Wilson turned in her direction.Clara hastily grabbed her son and ran towards the emergency exit without thinking.The staff at the counter shouted, "What's wrong, ma'am?" Wilson, who was on the escalator, only caught a glimpse of someone running away.But that fleeting moment was enough to cause his expression to change drastically. The group of people following behind him then saw the usually calm and composed Wilson Birch frantically racing down the escalator towards the emergency exit.Wilson's two bodyguards naturally followed behind him.The rest of the group looked at each other in confusion, unable to comprehend the situation.Wilson ran frantically, focusing only
"Mommy?" Yanny only asked what’s wrong after they had climbed into a cab. He had no idea why Mommy would suddenly carry him away while they were shopping for a birthday present for Aunt Serene, but he had always been a well-behaved child and knew Mommy must have her reasons, so he stayed quiet this whole time."Just now, Mommy saw someone she didn't want to see, so we left in a hurry. We'll come back to buy a present for Auntie Serene some other time, okay?" said Clara.The little boy nodded before asking in a soft voice, "Is the person a bad guy?"Clara's nose suddenly got stuffy. When Yanny was younger, he used to ask his where Daddy was.She had always told him that Daddy was in heaven.She did not know when Yanny would truly comprehend what being in heaven meant.However, she did know that she could not tell him his father was only dozens of meters away from them a moment ago. She also could not tell him that he had already met his father, but his existence was never what h
Serenity hesitated at the hospital entrance, uncertain if she was making the right decision. Did she really want to uncover the truth? If her dreams really were lost memories, should she bury the memories or try to recover them? What would happen after she regained her memories? Would it complicate her relationship with Lucas and make Jack feel even more insecure?Maybe she should just let the memories stay buried and feign ignorance. She could seek other treatment for her headache.Perhaps if she kept her distance from Lucas and not let him trigger her memories from now on, she would no longer have headaches."Miss Lewis!" Suddenly, a woman's voice called out to Serenity, jolting her back to reality.She had unconsciously walked to Dr. Landale's office. The person who called out to her was the nurse who was with Dr. Landale yesterday."Miss Lewis, something came up for Dr. Landale this morning and she has to take some time off. We're really sorry," the nurse said apologetically
Her silence only made Lucas more convinced of his assumption. "So you really did forget something. Is it something related to me?"Serenity bit her lip. "Mr. Gomez, your imagination is far too rich. It's true that I came here for hypnotherapy, but not for the reason you said. The treatment is for some other problems that I have. As you know, I was imprisoned for three years, so I have mental health issues like anxiety, among other things."He looked at her intently, as if trying to discern the truth in her words. "Really? You have an anxiety disorder?" She returned his gaze. "And how do you know that I don't?"He suddenly leaned in closer, pressing his finely chiseled face close to hers. "Did you know that the words you said while holding onto my hand at the convention were exactly the same words that the little girl who saved me said when I was a child?"Like I said, I was just talking gibberish," she said with a straight face. "Gibberish?" he snorted. "You grabbed my hand and
Serenity stopped struggling. She took a deep breath to calm herself and said, "The person who saved you is Lynette. Isn't that the result of your own investigation? Why are you suddenly asking me that question? Don't you think it's ridiculous?"Her words doused him like cold water, causing his face to pale."If Lynette were here and heard you ask me that, how do you think she would feel?" Serenity asked.His bloodshot eyes were fixed on her. All the evidence he found had indeed pointed to Lynette Blossom.All the evidence told him that Lynette Blossom was the person he was looking for.Despite that, he could not shake the feeling that Serenity Lewis was the right one. Was it because of her appearance? Or was it because of the look he sometimes saw in her eyes?Even though the world had been cruel to her, she still held onto a trace of dignity. Her sense of justice simply... reminded him so much of the little girl!"Are you... really not her?" Such simple words, but it was a stru
"You're back. How did it go?" Jackson asked."Not bad," Serenity pondered for a bit before saying, "If I still get headaches after this, can you recommend another doctor to me?"His eyes flickered slightly as he replied, "Sure.""By the way, I never knew that you're interested in baking cakes. Why did you suddenly decide to learn it? How long have you been learning?" Serenity asked as she lowered her head to take a closer look at the cake Jackson had just decorated.It looked pretty good. At least to a layman like her, it looked similar to the cakes sold in bakeries."Mr. Valor is a fast learner. He quickly grasped the essentials after I taught him once," the pastry chef complimented Jackson."Alright, that's it for today. Thank you, chef," Jackson told the pastry chef.The chef nodded and left the kitchen.Now, Serenity and Jackson were the only people left in the spacious kitchen."What about you? Anything interesting happened at the hospital today?" he asked casually.Of c
He stared at her in silence, then smiled.His smile was as brilliant as a snowy mountain under the sun, so beautiful that she could not take her eyes off it."Serenity, I believe you," Jackson said.He was suspicious by nature and had never truly had faith in anything.But he wanted to believe what she said, that she would never let him down, that she would never betray him!Even though she hid what happened between her and Lucas from him... he would believe her one more time!He would believe what she said and believe nothing would happen between her and Lucas! He would also believe in himself, that he would not repeat his father's mistake!He bent down and kissed her.Unlike the gentle way she had kissed him, his kiss was overbearing, as if he wanted to take possession of all her sweetness.But at the same time, the kiss was also unbelievably tender.And that tenderness was reserved just for her!After the kiss ended, Serenity could barely stand. She blushed hard."What's
