Chapter 1765
Charlie, the patient teasing Mr. Smith earlier, thought he was watching a scene from a TV show and stared at the scene in disbelief. Then he heard Mr. Smith shouting, "Mr. Valor! What happened to the girl? How many days has it been? Why did she hurt her hands again?! This completely defeats the purpose of treating her!"Mr. Valor?! Charlie heard a name that jolted him out of his haze. He knew there was one big shot by that name, but he could not believe it. There was no way that big shot would come to a small clinic like this.Jackson's action surprised Charlie even more. Jackson knelt down before Mr. Smith, begging for his help. "Mr. Smith, please. Please treat her hands. I don't want this to be the biggest regret of her life!"Jackson could not leave Serenity's damaged hands untreated. Serenity still had her career as a lawyer! And her children… She would need these hands to hold them. Jackson could not bear to see Serenity lose her hands. If she were to lose the senses of her han
Chapter 1766
The two men looked at each other in silence. No one spoke, and the atmosphere suddenly became a little tense. As the tension grew, Connor hurriedly came over and broke the silence. "Mr.Valor! We've sent Caden to the hospital. The doctor has treated Caden with gastric lavage and supportive measures. We suspect Jenny only fed Caden with sleeping pills, but we'll need to ask Jenny for details," Connor reported to Jackson. "Also, we found Zeke, but he's seriously injured," Connor added, inquiring about Jackson's decision to save or not to save Zeke.Zeke's family had no extra money to save him under their current condition. Besides, Zeke was a kidnapper, so there was no value in saving him. "Save him. I want Zeke alive!" Jackson ordered, his voice cold.Connor flinched, realizing Mr. Valor's true intention. Mr. Valor wanted Zeke alive to suffer in prison for the rest of his life. In this case, perhaps dying would be an immediate relief for Zeke.Connor's mind was still on Zeke whe
Chapter 1767
Lucas turned to Jackson with an indifferent look and asked, "Don't tell me that you suspect me of being involved in this matter?""I know you're not," said Jackson. "I just want to know the reason."Lucas pursed his thin lips. If he did not reveal his reason to Jackson now, he would still need to inform the police about it later, and Jackson would find out from them sooner or later anyway."A production crew under the Gomez company suddenly had an uncommonly high demand for gunpowder," Lucas explained, "far exceeding the amount usually required by a film crew, so I asked someone to look into it, but I never thought that I'd find out that one of Jenny Hall's obsessive fans was involved, and the trail led to Jenny herself. I had initially planned to track her definite whereabouts before informing the police about it because I never thought that…"Jackson sarcastically interrupted, "You never thought that what Jenny Hall planned to do far exceeded your expectations, huh?"Lucas purse

Lucas looked up at the man in front of him and said, "So what if that's true? Besides, I think she wouldn't just do nothing and watch me die even if I hadn't saved her life or Caden's."Because she was not that type of person!Ever since she was young, justice had always been important to Serenity. Why else would she have chosen to become a lawyer? Especially when she had once again chosen the same career path after having gone through dramatic ups and downs in her life.What had attracted Lucas to Serenity, more so than their encounter when they were young, was her steadfast and unchanging righteousness as well as her calm elegance. For someone who was used to the fake masks and intrigues of the wealthy society, these qualities were indeed precious to him. Besides, if his attraction to her had really been just because of his childhood obsession, he would have fallen in love with Lynette Blossom instead of her!"That's enough!" yelled Jackson. "So what even if she wouldn't watch yo

At that moment, her mind was filled with thoughts of her child!"Caden's fine," Jackson assured her. "His stomach has been flushed. Jenny Hall never revealed what the antidote was, but the police found out that she purchased some sleeping pills at the pharmacy recently, which is consistent with the doctor's suspicion.""Sleeping pills?" Serenity was startled. "How much did he end up swallowing? How long will he sleep?""He didn't swallow all that much," Jackson explained. "He'll wake up tomorrow. By then, I'll ask the doctor to give him a thorough examination. Now, don't worry about him anymore. Even the doctor said it's not that serious."Only then did Serenity sigh in relief, and she began to notice that she was in a room that she did not recognize. There were also many instruments in the room, some of which had wires that were connected to her fingertips."Am I in a… hospital?""Yeah," Jackson replied. "You'll have to stay here for a few days. They're well-equipped to accurate

As he kissed her, all the things Lucas said to him once again filled his head.He had never felt guilty about getting what he wanted through dirty tricks. Even his grandfather used to teach him to get what he wanted through all means necessary. The ends always justified the means for him, and back then, he did indeed get what he desired.Yet now, he was terrified that she might find out how despicable he had been in the past. She had been so disgusted with him when she learned that he had done nothing to help her back when she was thrown in jail, so he wondered anxiously how she would feel if she found out about his other unsavory deeds.Guilt had never been a part of his vocabulary before, yet now, it engulfed him and was eating him up from the inside."Serenity…" he murmured her name after the kiss ended. "Everything I've done was done because I love you too much.""What's wrong?" she asked. "Why are you saying that all of a sudden?""No reason." His eyelashes trembled slightly
Chapter 1771
"Jack, I've already forgiven you!"She spoke earnestly, desperately trying to ease his feelings of regret, guilt, pain, and remorse… was this not the exact reason why she did not tell him about the true state of her hands?"I've truly forgiven you," she added, "so stop blaming yourself like this!"He stared at her, stunned. He was struck by how serious she was in telling him that she had forgiven him, yet his heart still felt so heavy."You didn't even know me back then," she continued, "and I was nothing but a stranger who meant nothing to you at the time."In that case… Would she forgive him for what he had done after having known her? She had no idea that Lynette Blossom would never have had the chance to pretend to be her without his secret help. If he had not done all that, Lucas would never have fallen for Lynette's lies and misunderstood Serenity, which meant that Lucas would have jumped in and helped her with Lisa's medical expenses!And that meant that Serenity would nev
Chapter 1772
If Lucas had promised her too quickly and too readily, Jenny would have hesitated and doubted him, but after hearing that Lucas's promise came with a condition, she felt much more assured that he would keep his word."Fine," she said. "I'll tell you what happened and how Serenity fell into the sea. But I must warn you… Lucas, I'm afraid that you might wish you’d never found out the truth once you hear it."His expression turned stone cold as he listened to Jenny recounting what had happened in the past."I hope that you'll keep the promise you gave me, Lucas Gomez."All her life, Jenny never felt like she owed anyone anything. Sure, she might have caused her sister's death, Zeke's heavy injuries, and her parents' misery, but she had never felt sorry for any of that.If her parents had not favored her sister over her, she would not have had the heart to kill her own sister. As for Zeke, if he had shown more sincerity toward her back then when she was in trouble, she would never hav
