Chapter 1185
Peter suddenly unbuckled his seatbelt, got out of the car, and caught up to her. "Serenity! I... I hope you can find your happiness!"He said that with a slightly flushed face, as if it took a lot of courage for him to say it. "Although... your happiness isn't me, I still hope that the woman I like can be happy."Serenity stared at him in amazement, a warmth rising in her heart."Thank you. You're... a really good guy." She found his simplicity, warmth, and kindness very precious.A good guy... Peter sighed. He's a good guy, but not someone she would love."I..." He paused, seemingly struggling to get the words out, and his face became even redder."What's the matter? If you have anything to say, go ahead and say it," Serenity said."Can we... hug? Just a quick hug to bid farewell to my past feelings..." He laughed bitterly and said, "Was what I was going to say, but then I realized that you've obviously never loved me – it's always been me being attracted to you one-sidedly, ca

He took a deep breath, then turned to look at her. "You really have no idea who sent these pictures?"Lynette trembled slightly. She felt as if his sharp eyes could see through her lies. "Of course I don't. If I do, I would have asked them why they sent the pictures!" Lynette said, looking aggrieved. "Don't tell me... you think I planned this? I know that you like Serenity and you only see me as someone who rescued you when you were a little, so why would I bother to do all this? I would rather you be with Serenity than someone I don't know. That way, even if you marry Serenity one day, you'll be able to tolerate me and I won't have to stay away from you!"Lynette spoke pitifully, as if she was telling the truth.Lucas pursed his lips and scrutinized Lynette. After a few moments, he picked up his phone and called someone. "Help me check out a person called Peter Wall. He used to work at the sanitation office. I'll send you his picture."Listening with her eyes looking down, Lynet

That's... Luke.Even though she believed she would never fall in love with anyone ever again, could she really turn a blind eye to his feelings?While Serenity was lost in thought, her phone rang. Serenity looked at the caller ID and saw that it was Lucas.She answered the call. Lucas' voice came from the phone, "I'm sorry for calling you so late.""It's fine, I haven't gone to bed yet. What's up?" Serenity asked."Nothing. I just... suddenly wanted to hear your voice," he said.She didn't know what to say."Serenity, if... if you like Transformer action figures, I can buy them for you, whichever model you want," he said after a moment of hesitation."No, it's fine," she quickly said, "I used to like them when I was a kid. I'm long past the age of playing with them now.""Is that so?" he paused for a moment and said, "I actually have no idea how to make a woman happy." After all, in the past, the women were always the ones who had to try their best to make him happy.All he h

But before she could get up, Peter said, "I'll go. What if the doctor comes while you're away? You'll have to look for him later, which is a lot of hassle." After all, the doctors wouldn't stay in the office all the time. Sometimes they would be out making rounds or working the outpatient clinic.Clara thought he had a point, so she said, "I'll have to trouble you, then.""No trouble. I came here to help after all!" Peter smiled and left the ward.Watching as Peter walked away, Clara couldn't help but sigh. "He really is a kind man.""Yeah, he's really kind," Serenity said."Unfortunately, the world is often unkind to kind people. I hope his kindness will get repaid one day," Clara murmured. When she was younger, she didn't think much of boring and honest men like Peter. She preferred men like Wilson Birch.But after all the things that she had been through, she realized that there was real happiness to be found in falling in love with an honest man.There's no betrayal, decepti

Serenity asked the nurse which police station Peter was taken to. Then, she returned to the hospital room and told Clara what happened to Peter in a whisper. She then said, "Clara, I'm sorry, I originally came to help Yanny move out of the hospital, but now, I have to go to the police station to figure out what's going on.""Hurry up and go. My mother and I can handle things here," Clara said with an anxious look on her face. She also did not believe Peter would do such a thing.Yanny still had no idea what's going on. He kept asking what "being detained" meant. Clara could only give him a vague answer.Serenity rushed to the police station. When she arrived, Peter was in the middle of an interrogation. She learned from the police that there were eyewitnesses, and there were surveillance cameras at the crime scene too. If the surveillance footage matched what the victim and the witnesses said, Peter would be charged with attempted rape."I would like to see Peter Wall," Serenity sa

Serenity couldn't be bothered talking to Lynette anymore. Lynette had already said enough to let Serenity understand that she indeed framed Peter.But... why would Lynette do that? They've probably never crossed paths before!Right then, a police officer told Serenity, "You're Peter Wall's lawyer, right? You can go in and talk to him now, but you only have half an hour.""Thank you!" Serenity quickly said. Just as she was about to go in, a hand abruptly grabbed her wrist from behind her. "You're Peter Wall's lawyer?"Serenity turned around and was surprised to see Lucas. She didn't expect Lucas to leave the hospital and come to the police station."Why did you leave the hospital? Did you get the doctor's permission?" she asked. Although the bandage on his head and body had been removed yesterday, he still had to stay in the hospital for at least a few more days before he could be discharged."Are you really going to be Peter Wall's lawyer?" he asked again instead of answering."
Chapter 1191
When Serenity entered the interrogation room, the police interrogation had already ended. Peter's face was very pale. He seemed to be at a loss.As soon as he saw Serenity, he said in a panic, "Serenity, I... I didn't do it! I don't know why that woman's trying to frame me!"Peter looked extremely confused. Everything happened so suddenly that he didn't know what to do."Calm down. Take your time and tell me what happened very slowly. I'm your lawyer now. I'll help you handle this case. If you can find a more suitable lawyer, you can change your lawyer anytime," Serenity said, comforting him.Peter slowly calmed down. "Thank you, Serenity."For the next half an hour, Serenity listened to Peter's side of the story. According to Peter, while he was helping Clara fetch Yanny's reports, Lynette suddenly appeared next to him. She said she sprained her foot and asked for his help to get to her car in the hospital's open-air parking lot.Because Lynette was holding a lot of things in he

"Innocent?" Lucas scoffed, "The police have checked the surveillance footage and confirmed that Lynette's telling the truth. What's more, none of the five eyewitnesses know each other, yet their statements are all consistent! There's no possibility of them giving false statements at all! "Serenity asked, "Have you ever been wrongly accused before?""What?" he was caught off guard by her question."Being wrongly accused, with all the witnesses and material evidence against you. Even though you know you're innocent, there's nothing you can do. Have you ever experienced something like that before?" She smiled faintly, "I have, so I can understand how Peter feels right now. That's why I'll help him no matter what!"He pursed his lips and stared at her with eyes that tried to see through her. "Even if I ask you to stay away from Peter Wall's case, you'll still help him?""He's my friend. I believe him." She met his gaze and did not back down in the slightest.At this moment, the air
