Chapter 1478
As Jackson stormed out of the consultation room, he instructed Serenity’s bodyguard, Eva, and the substitute doctor to return to the room. After all, the doctor who was supposed to perform a diagnosis for Serenity had already been knocked out by Lucas’ men. “Are you alright, Mr. Valor?” asked Connor, who immediately noticed Jackson’s foul mood. “It’s nothing,” said Jackson as he struggled to catch his breath. He never thought that until today, he was still deathly afraid that she would say she regretted marrying him. He was afraid that the notion of divorce might enter her mind, even if she never considered it in the beginning. He was afraid that her love for him was not deep enough…As it turned out, he was afraid of more things than he thought! “Have we located Walter’s whereabouts?” asked Jackson as he raised his hand to wipe off the layer of sweat that had formed on his forehead. “Not yet,” replied Connor. Since the old man’s funeral, Walter, who had been working with him,

“Mr. Valor just wants to better protect his wife,” explained Connor. Serenity snapped back, “Are you protecting me or are you just monitoring me?”Connor fell silent immediately. After all, Mr. Valor had deliberately instructed him to keep Walter’s incident a secret from Serenity since she was about to give birth.” Serenity went quiet as well. She lowered her head and stared at her bulging belly. When they arrived at the hospital, Serenity immediately met up with Lisa at her ward. She seemed to be in a good mental state, and it seemed that she was capable of taking care of herself now. After she was discharged, given some time to recover, Serenity was sure that she would return to her old self in no time. “You finally came, Serenity!” greeted Lisa. “Come! Grab a sit quickly! Now that you’re pregnant, you can’t be standing around all the time.” Serenity found a seat and sat down before asking, “How are you doing? Has the doctor told you when you can be discharged from the hos

Serenity stood up and hugged Lisa gently. “I’m sorry for bringing down your mood!” “What are you talking about?! I just hope that you can be happy instead of being affected by the pain and misery. After all, we need to face the future instead of the past, no?” said Lisa with a sniffle before she directed a bright smile at her friend. Instead of smiling back, Serenity felt the urge to cry. Lisa was still suffering emotional pain, but she always made sure to hide her pain behind that optimistic smile. “I’ll be fine, don’t worry about me. You’re the one who deserves to be happy. Get well soon. When my babies are born, you’ll get the chance to play with them,” said Serenity.“We’ll be fine,” assured Lisa. At that moment, she told herself repeatedly that she would let go of Terry no matter what. One day, she would look back at her stint with Terry as one of the many periods of her life. From today onward, the love they shared would be just a memory!————The weather got colde

She was willing to have dinner with him on New Year’s Eve. That meant she wouldn’t be leaving him, right? “Knock knock!” Jackson’s thoughts were interrupted by the sound of knocking on his door. “Come in,” said Jackson. Connor entered the room and greeted him before saying, “Sir, Jenny has escaped from prison!” Jackson’s expression changed instantly. Sullen-faced, he asked Connor, “What’s going on?” “I received news from the police that she had escaped from prison around 3 in the morning today. The surveillance system of the detention center where she was held was hacked, so we have no footage from the time she escaped. As of now, we do not know who helped Jenny in her escape,” explained Connor. Jackson considered the possibilities in silence. Could it be the Hall family? Or was it the Shaw family? Or maybe it was some trained diehard fan? Or perhaps…“Keep an eye on the Halls and the Shaws, see if anything is happening on their side. Also, continue the search for Walter

"How long has she been sleeping?" Jackson asked the nurse."About an hour," the nurse replied.Jackson bent down and gently stroked Serenity's cheek.He could only touch her at times like this. If he did so while she's awake, she might throw up due to her body resisting him.The nurse's eyes widened in shock.Since she was tasked with taking care of Serenity, Jackson Valor had never shown up to see her. The nurse thought that Serenity only managed to marry into the Valor family because she got pregnant, and that Jackson Valor actually didn't care about her at all.That's why she was so surprised to witness this scene.Jackson Valor actually cared a lot about his wife! He touched her so gingerly, as if he was caressing a priceless treasure.Serenity's eyelashes fluttered slightly. She opened her eyes drowsily and was greeted by the sight of Jackson's face. She mumbled, "Jack..."He tensed up and reflexively pulled his hand back."Sorry for waking you. If you're still sleepy, g

The moment he heard her say that, his eyes lit up like stars, glittering and bright, while his mouth curled into a nice looking arc."You've missed me... You've missed me..." he murmured with excitement. His beautiful peach blossom eyes seemed a little teary.Serenity was a little taken aback by his emotional reaction. She could make him react so strongly with just a few simple words?She knew without a doubt that he loved her.And... she actually loved him too, didn't she?"Let's eat first and talk later. The food will get cold," Serenity said."Okay, let's eat first. This is our first New Year's Eve together. You'll have New Year's Eve dinner with me every year from now on, won't you?" he asked, his voice thick with nerves and hope.She knew the answer he wanted to hear, and she didn't want to make him sad."Yes. From now on, we'll have New Year's Eve dinner together every year," she said.Her reply was a promise that sated his anticipation and desire.Tears fell from his e

"Since neither of us can change what happened in the past... I'd rather put it behind us and not dwell on it. Like Lisa said, we must always look ahead," Serenity took a deep breath and slowly let go of her struggles and inner conflicts. She finally said the words that had lingered in her mind for days..."Jack, I'm willing to forgive you, and I won't leave you. I haven't forgotten my promise to you – if you don't abandon me, then I won't abandon you either."Yes, that was her decision.When she said that, she started trembling again. Pain assaulted her, as if all the pain she had experienced before was sweeping through her body along with the memories. However... she also felt some kind of relief.Perhaps... she could only experience true happiness and stay with the person she loved by letting go of the past.If she missed out on him, she believed she would definitely regret it one day!Jackson's lips quivered, "You're willing to forgive me? You're not gonna leave me?""Yes, I'

However, they didn't sleep in the same bed.When it was time to go to bed that night, Jackson said, "I'll just sleep on the couch. If I sleep on the bed, I might touch you by accident when I'm sleeping," he said.He was worried that his touch might make her throw up again.So, when Serenity woke up the next morning, she was greeted by the sight of Jackson lying on the couch with his eyes closed, still asleep.She gently climbed out of bed and went over to the couch.Usually, he would be awake by the time she woke up. He rarely overslept. However, it was already 9 am now and he was still asleep.Serenity observed Jackson quietly. He seemed to have lost some weight. Even when he was asleep, he looked tired.There were dark circles under his eyes. Had he not been sleeping well lately?Suddenly, Jackson's brows knitted. His calm sleeping face instantly turned uneasy, and sweat started to seep out of his forehead in large amount."Never... Never... Definitely not..." he mumbled."
