"Yes," Serenity responded, not surprised he would find out so soon. "You really care about your friend. You stood in front of Lucas' place all night for Lisa. It didn't work out, so you came to me and stood at the entrance for so long," Jackson said, his voice full of sarcasm.Serenity could not help but tremble, her fists clenching tighter. Gathering her courage, she decided she would accept all the humiliation Jackson was going to give her, no matter what. She had to hold on and save Lisa!Serenity chewed her lip. "I know. You'd probably see me as someone shameless, but… I really need the money. I need to save Lisa. She might not survive without this. Please lend me the money. In return, I'll agree to anything you want—anything you want me to do."Serenity was desperate to save Lisa at all costs. Lisa had sacrificed her future and helped Serenity in her most desperate moments. She would always be grateful and would do everything she could to save Lisa!"Why would I need you to

Serenity needed 300,000 dollars to save Lisa's life! But she had no way to help Lisa borrow the money!What should Serenity do? What could Lisa do? How could the Quest family save Lisa? Must they sell their family house just to save her? Would it even be enough? The costs of intensive care were very expensive. The Quest family was only an ordinary family. How could they even afford long-term intensive care treatment?Serenity wanted to say something, her lips quivering. She had exhausted all her options and did not know what else she could say. She could use herself to bargain with Jackson, but only if Jackson wanted her. Jackson no longer cared about her, so it would not work.Jackson pursed his lips tight, angry that Serenity was still emotionally affecting him.

"Hey, Lucas… Are you still thinking of Serenity? Your relationship with Serenity is affected because of me. Are you okay?" Lynette put on a guilty look and said pretentiously, "Serenity is begging to see you because of Peter, but you refused to see her. Will that really be okay?""Don't ask any more questions about her and me. Just talk to your lawyer about the lawsuit," Lucas said coldly."Thank you, Lucas." Lynette suddenly choked out a sob and lowered her head, pretending to wipe her tears away. "I thought you'd side with Serenity and stop me from suing Peter. I thought you loved Serenity and would make me put up with this, but…""I didn't expect you to help. Thank you for hiring a lawyer for me and helping me with my case. You're so nice. You're still the same… you." Lynette wanted to call him Luke, but she remembered his previous warning and gave up. There was no point in making him upset with a nickname. Besides, her utmost priority was to keep him away from Serenity. She must

Serenity had an instinctive urge to break free from Jackson's embrace, but the more she struggled, the tighter he held her. Her scent filled his nose, and he savored it greedily. He kept her close in his arms, unwilling to ever let her go again now that he had finally held her.How much longer would she keep him under her spell like this? His rational restraint and resolve had all but been shattered so effortlessly the moment he met her!She was clearly the one in an awkward situation now, yet why did he feel completely defeated by her? Why did he even feel like he was about to… throw down his armor and surrender to her?And so, he held her like that for a long time, burying his face deep against her shoulder as if he intended to stay that way for the rest of his life.Serenity was stunned.

Her eyelashes trembled ever so slightly as she looked up at him slowly. Her almond-shaped eyes were crystal clear as she gazed deep into the most dashing pair of eyes in front of her. The sparkling charm and warm tenderness that used to be in those eyes when they used to be together were no longer there. All that was left was the frigidity that made her think of a cold dark night.She used to think that their lives would forever run parallel with each other, never intersecting again, but now, their fates were once again intertwined, because they now shared… a baby! A baby that would have both of their blood running through its veins!She took a deep breath, then slowly opened her mouth to tell him, "Okay, let's get married!"— A black car was parked in front of the hospital where Lisa was staying.

The diffuse light from the lamp illuminated his face, softening the ragged coldness of his handsome face and adding some warmth to his countenance.Warmth… The thought filled her with bitterness. Was there any warmth left for her in his heart after all that had happened now? The only reason why he chose to marry her was because she was pregnant with his child, anyway!"You're back," he said, putting the book in his hand aside on the coffee table. "Did you see Lisa at the hospital?""Yeah," she answered, her gaze falling on the book on the coffee table. She nearly choked on her own saliva when she noticed its title–Keeping a Good Mood Every Day Through Pregnancy! It was most likely a book that aimed to guide expectant mothers through their pregnancy, and Jackson… was reading this book?!This definitely surprised Serenity."I asked the servants to cook up some congee for you," he said while instructing a servant to go get Serenity her meal. "You should hurry up and eat something s
