Chapter 1086
At first, she thought it was a tale of a woman who abandoned her old love and fell in love with another man. She thought it was only a straightforward story of betrayal and love.However, when she heard the conclusion of the story, her perspective shifted. The woman fell in love, then murdered the man she loved. Was it because... she was unable to accept her feelings? She couldn't accept that she fell in love with someone else, and that someone was the person who held her captive?What ensued thereafter? What did the woman do after leaving the mansion?Did she stay by herself or did she go back to her old lover?She yearned to learn more about the story and the aftermath.Although Serenity should be long past the age of getting curious about these things, she could not help feeling curious about the woman in the story.Was it because... she's also trapped in the mansion like that woman was?Serenity climbed out of bed, went over to the window and opened the curtains.From her

His posture remained exactly the same as a few hours ago. He stood there, looking up at her room.Serenity couldn't even explain how she was feeling. She dashed out of the room.Since she didn't know where the umbrellas were, she simply draped a blanket over herself to cover herself from the rain as she ran to the lotus pond.Despite the blanket covering her head and part of her body, the rain still hit Serenity's arms and front. The bean-sized raindrops felt icy.She dashed to Jackson and, breathing heavily, questioned him, "What are you doing? Can't you see it's raining? Hurry up and get inside!"Jackson did not move. He asked, his clear, cold voice resounding in the rainy night, "Why did you come out?"He was drenched from the rain, his wet hair covering his face. Through the rain, she could see his dark eyes looking at her."Let's go inside first, okay?" she said, taking his hand and attempting to lead him into the house.However, he didn't budge. "Why did you come out?" he

Serenity waited for Jackson in his room.Even if she didn't want to, there weren't many places she could be in since her area of activity was limited to the mansion. Therefore, there was no point in restlessly moving around.Jackson's room was about as big as her room. All the furniture in his room was antique. There was also a wall covered by a thick curtain.Was there also blood splattered on that wall like in the Chamber of Blood?The thought made Serenity nervous. She approached the wall and stared at the curtain, wondering what was behind it. Maybe the curtain was just decoration?Suddenly, the bathroom door opened and Jackson, who had finished his shower, walked out.He was wearing only a towel, exposing his fit and muscular upper body. His dark eyes looked straight at her, making her feel like a small animal that had fallen into a trap.He walked towards her, and she stepped back subconsciously. She tripped over something and fell backwards."Aah!" she cried out in sur

Although she didn't love him, at least she's there with him, right?Serenity felt the pressure of his weight on one of her shoulders. He looked like a person who was completely exhausted and in search of some form of support, even if it was only for a brief moment.It felt like she was his support, his only support in the world, and he would fall into a bottomless abyss if she pushed him away.That's absurd! Serenity laughed at herself for having such a ridiculous thought. There's no way she's the only support he had. It only felt that way because of how tired he looked right now."You should get some rest. I'm going back to my room," Serenity said, wanting to leave. Before she could even take a step, she felt a sense of vertigo and before she knew it, she was on his bed, and he was on top of her."Let me go!" She panicked and tried to push him away, but he only held her tighter."I won't do anything to you. I just want to hold you," he whispered as he buried his face in her sh

When he was asleep, he appeared serene and approachable. He looked like an angel, emanating no sharpness that might intimidate people.The only hint of tension was a slight furrow in his brows, which somehow made him seem more frail.Frail?Serenity almost chuckled. She was about to pull away completely from his embrace when his hand reached out and grabbed four of the fingers on her right hand.Serenity was surprised and attempted to free her fingers, but he tightened his grip even more. It almost felt like he was safeguarding something valuable, unwilling to let it go.Serenity felt defeated. After all that, she still couldn't leave. Did she really have to share a bed with him tonight?She attempted to free her hand a few more times but to no avail. She couldn't help wondering if he was actually asleep or just pretending.However, he never moved or opened his eyes. He also didn't do anything else.Serenity could only console herself that she had slept in the same bed with him

"As if I could leave the mansion," she retorted.A tiny smile twitched at the corner of his mouth, but the smile seemed weak because of his fever. "You're right, without my permission, you can't leave this place!"'Come on, is this really the time to talk about that?!' thought Serenity."Do you have any fever medicine? Your temperature is pretty high, you need medicine!" she said.He probably got a fever because of last night's rain."No," he replied faintly."Where's your phone? Call Connor, that secretary of yours, and ask him to take you to the hospital," she said."I don't need to go to the hospital," he said with a frown, "It's just a fever. I'll be fine in a couple of days.""Okay, even if you don't want to go to the hospital, you should at least ask Connor to get you some medicine," she urged.He pursed his lips, not saying anything. He then lifted the blanket covering his body and climbed out of bed."Don't tell me you're scared of taking medicine," she casually said.

"Are you hurt?" she asked and reached towards the back of his head to check for injury. She heard a loud thud earlier, which she believed was the sound of his head hitting the floor.She was too eager to check the back of his head for injury that she failed to consider their current situation.They were lying on top of each other, and as she reached out to examine the back of his head, their bodies became pressed even closer together.He took hold of her wrist and spoke in a hoarse voice, "If I tell you I'm hurt, will you feel bad for me and feel concerned for me?"She tensed up a little. When she looked down, she finally realized how close they were to each other. Her lips were almost touching his cheek.She stared at him flatly. "If you're hurt, you should contact someone outside to take you to the hospital instead of struggling with a fever here. Remember, Jackson Valor, you only live once!" He gave her a gentle smile. "I knew it. You’ll feel sad if I die."Due to the fever,

"One time, I took a few more tablets than I was supposed to out of curiosity and ended up sleeping for three days. I was hospitalized and had to get a gastric lavage. That was how we found out that the maid had switched my pills," he said, looking up at her with a hint of self-deprecation in his gaze. "That maid was the kindest person to me when I first arrived at the Valor family. Every day, she would ask how I was doing, pretend to care for me, and watch me consume the sleeping pills she prepared for me with a smile."Serenity felt extremely upset, "How could anyone do this to a child just to make their life a bit easier, so that they could go out on a date? Did she not consider the consequences?"In the worst case scenario, it could have even caused mental illnesses!Jackson sneered. "There are many more people like her in this world. They're willing to sacrifice others for minor gains."Serenity asked, "What happened to her afterwards?""The Valor family dismissed her," he s
