Connor did not dare to ask any questions. He simply started the car and slowly drove away from Serenity's neighborhood.Jackson closed his eyes softly, tiredness filling him. The moment he had seen her earlier seemed so magical—it filled him with emotions, making him content. The moment she was gone from his sight, his heart was achingly empty again. Serenity could easily affect his emotions, filling and emptying his heart! Was he simply incapable of not loving her?!"Connor," Jackson's voice rang in the car. "Do you think I still love Serenity?"Connor froze slightly. That was the hardest question to answer!"Well... Mr. Valor… Umm…" Connor stammered, hesitating on what would be the best answer.Jackson seemed to have sensed Connor's intentions. He commanded coldly, "Tell me the truth!" "Mr. Valor," Connor had no choice but to tell the truth. "You do. It's the way you look at her. Otherwise, you wouldn't be so angry after knowing Mr. Gomez had fallen in love with Ms. Lewis."

Susie was later taken away by the bailiff. She had no choice but to consider herself unlucky! Serenity was a little stunned by Susie's reply. Did Susie's confession have something to do with Lucas?Mr. Graham, on the other hand, had a thoughtful look on his face.When Serenity and Mr. Graham reached the entrance, they saw a Maserati parked in front of the courthouse. Lucas soon emerged from the car, looking at Serenity.Mr. Graham gently patted Serenity's shoulder and said, "Thank Mr. Gomez for me. This case wouldn't have been so easy if not for him."Mr. Graham walked away without waiting for Serenity to reply. He walked down the steps and left after greeting Lucas.Serenity remained on the steps, looking down at Lucas in a daze. Meanwhile, Lucas looked up at Serenity with his chin slightly raised.Some of the people coming out of the courthouse seemed to have noticed the scene, turning their eyes toward them.Taking a deep breath, Serenity walked down the steps. Although he

"It's fine. It's an old problem. Jackson already took me to a specialist doctor," Serenity said, withdrawing her hand. The last time she had visited the specialist doctor, the doctor had told her that she had missed the best period for treatment. The medicines she had taken later were only to relieve the pain she had been experiencing due to the cold and humid weather."We're already here. Why don't you let Mr. Smith take a look? He doesn't usually take in new patients," Lucas said, dragging Serenity into the clinic.Serenity saw no patients inside and found the clinic a little empty. A white-bearded man was sitting on a chair and watching the TV. The 32-inch TV on the wall was playing the most popular drama of the season. Serenity had heard about the show at her office. Her colleagues had said that it was a tear-jerking show.The elderly man was watching the TV show with great concentration, his expression so serious. It was as if he was watching a documentary program."Mr. Smit

It seemed Mr. Smith was indeed as capable as Lucas had mentioned!Serenity's answer hit Lucas like a shocking wave in his heart. What kind of pain had she suffered?! She had had her fingernails pulled out and her fingers broken… Who had done this to her?! Lucas felt the urge to kill at the thought of that!Mr. Smith examined Serenity's fingers with a grave expression on his face. After a long silence, he said, "Come. Get an X-ray. I need to see the X-ray of your fingers."Mr. Smith then led Serenity into an isolation room, which was completely out of place in this small clinic. After taking the X-ray, Mr. Smith studied the film carefully. He thought for a long time and said to Serenity, "Your fingers weren't properly treated after the injury. You've missed the golden period for treatment.""I know," Serenity said. When Jackson had sent her to the specialist doctor, the doctor there had said the same thing."Your fingers must hurt in cold and humid weather. You may be struggling wi

"No need to thank me. All I did was bring you here. Mr. Smith said it can be treated, so it should be fine," Lucas said.Lucas casually asked as he drove, "When did you injure your hand?""It’s been almost four years," Serenity answered.'Almost four years…' Lucas thought about it and realized that that would be when Serenity had been in prison. "You got injured in prison?"Serenity remained silent and said nothing, but the look on her face had given him the answer."Who was it? Who hurt you so?" There was a hint of anger in Lucas' voice as he wondered who in the world would treat Serenity so cruelly. Lucas knew Serenity had been in prison but never thought much about what she had gone through during her time in prison. He had just only realized how much she had suffered.Serenity said nonchalantly, "It doesn't matter anymore.""Who did this?" Lucas asked again."Even if I tell you, what's the point? Can I put them through all the pain I've gone through?""Why not?" Lucas said

Serenity had had the pizza here before, but she had not remembered the young Lucas and the promise they had made as children at that time.Serenity picked up a slice of pizza and started eating. She decided to treat it as a day of eating out with Luke. Just like they promised. The promise where the young Lucas had said that he would treat the young Serenity to something delicious in Solaria.***At night, the Maserati drove slowly and parked next to the neighborhood. Serenity left the car upon reaching the destination, but Lucas came running after her from behind."Wait!" Serenity heard Lucas calling for her and stopped. Lucas caught up with her and handed a pizza box to her. "Take this. I saw that you liked it, so I ordered another pizza at the restaurant for takeaway.""Thanks," Serenity looked at him, her lips pursed as she accepted the food. Maybe it was the pizza that she could not refuse. Or maybe she just could not reject the young Luke she knew, particularly when he had fu

Serenity had been coming home alone lately, which was fine. On this day, however, Mr. Gomez was the one who had sent her back. The two were staring at each other, and the way he was holding his hand… They looked like a couple!Connor hoped Lucas and Serenity would quickly separate. God knows what Mr. Valor would do if they stayed like that!***Serenity walked home with a box of pizza in her hand. She took the key out of her bag and unlocked the door. Just as she was about to get the door and walk in, another hand pushed the door open one step ahead of her.Startled, Serenity turned around to find Jackson standing behind her. "When did you come?" Serenity asked in surprise.Jackson was wearing a thin and light-colored sweater and black trousers. He looked like a charming prince with that handsome face of his, but his grim face and the strange look in his eyes… There was a hint of struggle, displeasure, as well as… menace.Serenity instinctively felt danger. Jackson seemed very

He held her hand under the faucet and scrubbed her hands with soap before rinsing them with water again and again, almost as if he was desperate to completely wash away all traces of Lucas's touch, scent, and warmth… from her hands.Serenity tried hard to pull her hands away but to no avail. She had no idea how long Jackson kept scrubbing her hands until they started to sting, and she told him, "That's enough, Jackson! What exactly are you trying to do?!"Only then did he turn off the tap. He picked up a hand towel nearby and gently wiped her hands dry, saying, "Don't ever let Lucas touch your hands again."When he thought of what had happened at the entrance of the apartment complex, he was so tortured by the jealousy that rose up inside him that it was almost unbearable.He was so afraid… so afraid that she would really fall in love with Lucas Gomez!"Also," he added, "don't ever say anything that will anger me again."Serenity was momentarily taken aback, but she then smiled w
