Didn't she choose to study law in order to uphold justice? But now, she could not even uphold justice for herself."A wise decision," the man laughed and said.Serenity's hands clenched into fists. So this is what it felt like to be powerless!The closer the dagger moved towards her face, the harder she trembled. She abruptly ducked under the man's arm and dashed towards the door of the ward.When she opened the door, she was grabbed and held down by the two bodyguards who were guarding the door.The man walked up to Serenity and mocked, "I thought you had guts, but it turns out you were just waiting for an opportunity to run away. But, like you said, you can't escape."Yes, she could not escape, but even if she was just a lamb waiting for slaughter, she wanted to give herself a chance to fight back.Serenity was dragged back into the ward once more. When the dagger was going to cut her face for real this time, the door was suddenly kicked open.A figure walked in and went stra

In the past, Jackson would never leave the Valor Residence in the evening on this day no matter what. He would stay in front of his father's portrait the whole night to remind himself not to repeat his father's mistake.He would do this every year.But this evening, things have changed!Jackson led Serenity out of the hospital.A black car was at the entrance of the hospital. After getting into the car, Serenity still felt like everything that happened was a dream. She thought this evening would become a nightmare, but surprisingly, he showed up."Scared?" He asked while holding her hand. Even now, her hand was still slightly trembling.Serenity bit her lower lip, then nodded her head. Yes, how can she not be scared? Her fate was completely left in the hands of others. She felt so powerless.As if a single word from others could determine her life and death."I got careless today," Jackson said, "I thought the old man wouldn't touch you so quickly. He's more anxious than I tho

He was not in the room.Where could he be? Downstairs?But when Serenity went downstairs, she found that Jackson was not downstairs either.She did not know why she would go outside when she could not find him in the main house.The Valor Residence was really big. Outside the main house, there were the servants' rooms, the garden, other pavilions, as well as ponds and streams.In fact, having stayed at the Valor Residence for so long, she had never really taken a stroll through the Valor Residence. She was not sure how big it really was.It was the wee hours of the morning. Besides some lighting along the way, the whole place was dark.The night was a little chilly because of the wind. Serenity could not help pulling up her collar. She asked herself, why was she looking for Jackson? Was it because she was afraid that something might have befallen him?As if anything would happen to him in the Valor Residence!In the end, she could only tell herself that she merely wanted to ch

She hesitated for a moment before she said, "It's nothing. I noticed that you didn't go back to your own room after walking me to my room. Instead, you walked towards the stairs. I thought you might be up to something, so... uhh... since you're fine, I guess I'll go back..."She turned around, intending to leave.However, a pair of arms instantly hugged her from behind. "Sis, you were worried about me, weren't you?"Serenity instantly felt his scent enveloping her. She did not know what to say.Worried? Was she worried about him?Her mind was in a mess. Was it because he saved her tonight? That's why she did not think of him as Jackson Valor tonight, but as "Jack", so she was worried about him?While thinking that, she suddenly noticed the sound of his breathing near her ear becoming more rapid. He was also moaning softly in his throat. He slowly loosened his arms that were wrapped around her.Serenity turned around and saw that Jackson's face was pale. His forehead was drenched

"If you don't take medicine, what if the pain gets worse?" said Serenity. Suddenly, she thought of something. She took out her phone and browsed online pharmacies.Although some of the pharmacies were a little far away, she could just pay a higher delivery fee. The medicine would arrive in 20 minutes. It would be faster than waiting for a security guard to go out, buy the medicine, and come back.Serenity immediately made an order. She bought the same medicine she used to buy for Jackson. After that, her eyes fell on him again.He was curled up in pain. His lips were tightly shut as if he was trying hard to stop himself from groaning, but that made his breath sound even more painful.His eyes were closed. His long eyelashes made shadows on his lower eyelids like they were fans.The man who called the shots in Solaria seemed like a helpless, vulnerable child at the moment, as if he could only rely on himself to stop the pain.Serenity felt pity for him for some reason. He was the

Serenity told Jackson, "Wait here for a minute. I'll go get the medicine." After saying that, she ran out of the mourning hall.Jackson lay on the sofa. Wait for a minute?... Back then, when she went out in the middle of the night to buy medicine for him, she said the same thing.Okay, he would wait. He would wait for her to come back...Serenity rushed to the mansion's metal gate. The street lights outside the gate shone on the delivery man's bewildered face.Obviously, the delivery man did not expect to deliver medicine to such a luxurious mansion."Are you Miss Lewis?" the man asked."Yes, that's me," Serenity answered. She took the medicine from him and said thank you. She then turned around and ran back to the mourning hall.The delivery man scratched his head. Looking at the huge mansion before him, he could still hardly believe it.In the Valor Residence's security office, several security guards were watching the surveillance monitors with dumbfounded looks on their fa

He slowly opened his eyes. She really did... come back, just like last time. Even though she was scared of him, disgusted with him, maybe even hated him, she still could not bear to see him in pain, right? At the thought of that, even the pain seemed to subside a little.Jackson opened his mouth and swallowed the medicine that Serenity fed him.She could not help looking at his lips. As expected, she saw teeth marks there. He must have been in great pain earlier."If you keep looking at my lips like this, it'll make me think that you want to kiss me," Jackson said.Serenity suddenly came back to her senses. Her face instantly turned red. "I was just looking at your lips because they're bleeding. I don't have any other intentions.""Even if... you have other intentions, it's fine. If it's you, you can kiss me anytime you want," he said. Although his face was still pale and his forehead was drenched in sweat, he could talk normally now.Serenity looked away to avoid eye contact so

He would never tell anyone these things in the past, but at this moment, seeing her standing in front of his father's portrait, he told her so naturally.It was as if he could only pour out these words that were buried deep in his heart when he was talking to her."My father should have met many women back then. There were bound to be some who were even prettier than her, yet he gave up everything for such a woman. He's a fool," Jackson murmured."Your father may not necessarily love your mother because she's beautiful. When you love someone, looks may not be that important anymore. Furthermore... you'll like everything about them, be it the good or the bad," said Serenity.The light in Jackson's eyes flickered slightly. His eyes were fixed on Serenity's face. "Maybe... it's as you say. When you love someone, looks may not be that important anymore..."It was the same for him. He had seen women who were prettier and more considerate than Serenity, but only Serenity could make him
