Chapter 434
What Flora expected did not happen. Instead of lashing out at her, Serenity merely glanced at her calmly. On the other hand, the man she had set her eyes on simply told her, “Go away.” Flora’s eyes widened with surprise. This was the first time in her life that someone had told her off so rudely. “You...” Her face was flushed red. Without waiting for her response, Jackson pulled Serenity into the elevator. Flora saw what was happening and was about to enter the elevator with them. However, when she was met with an ice-cold glare from Jackson, her body froze up instantly. After the doors rolled shut, Candice, who was standing next to her, grumbled, “What a tasteless man! Doesn’t he know how to speak properly to a lady?!” Flora gritted her teeth angrily. After all, she had never been humiliated like this before. People would suck up to her most of the time, so how could she possibly accept being treated like this?!She looked at the elevator display and saw that it had stopp

“Cough!” Serenity almost choked on her saliva. Was he really talking to the head of the Transportation Department?! Only a handful of people in Solaria were capable of pulling off such a stunt.Jackson drove past the intersection when the traffic light turned green again. Serenity glanced at the rearview mirror and noticed the car that he had mentioned earlier. Sure enough, although there were a few cars between them, it would remain behind them. Before long, she noticed a patrol car catching up to them, and it eventually forced the vehicle behind to the side of the road. She watched as two policemen exited their vehicle, and... they soon disappeared from the rearview mirror. That patrol car had probably been dispatched by the Transportation Department. While shocked, Serenity also gained a better understanding of Jackson’s influence in the city.Under the intense stares of the policemen, Flora had to produce her ID card and driver’s license. As she did so, she silently lamented

Leaving aside his social status, which was a major plus point, his appearance alone was enough for most girls to fall head over heels for him. To Serenity’s surprise, a dejected expression appeared on Jackson’s face when he heard her response. “Don’t you feel the least bit jealous?” “Jealous?” Serenity was stunned.Jackson stared at her with his penetrating gaze. A while later, he sighed softly as if he had accepted the truth. “You really are a heartless woman. I would’ve felt happier if you had said you felt jealous.” Serenity bit her lip as she pondered in silence. Was she jealous? She recalled Flora confidently running up to Jackson and the disdainful look that she had received. Was she jealous of that? She had no idea. At that moment, jealousy had not crossed her mind at all. Instead, she already knew that Jackson would never accept that girl’s approach. Was it because she believed that Jackson was truly hers? Since when had she developed such a level of trust in him?

Before she went to prison, all the clothes in her closet were either formal clothes for work or the type of clothes that Zeke Shaw liked. She barely had any clothes that she herself liked.It was as if she was trying so hard to please other people that she forgot to please herself."I wish I got to know you sooner," Jackson suddenly muttered.If he had known her sooner, they might have started off on the right foot and she wouldn't have to go to prison for three years. He also wouldn't have to feel apprehensive of her finding out about certain things.Serenity felt like Jackson's eyes currently contained a lot of emotions that she could not decipher."Alright, let's go," he said and helped her down the stairs. She skipped breakfast today because she had to go to the hospital on an empty stomach for the medical checkup.Jackson led Serenity to the car. In the car, he watched her tie her hair with the scrunchie he bought yesterday. It was just a simple black scrunchie, but unlike t

When they arrived, the hospital staff was already waiting for them. All Serenity had to do was follow the nurse.And so, the nurse guided Serenity through the whole process of drawing blood, getting X-ray, getting ultrasound, and so on. Jackson waited for Serenity in the VIP lounge of the Health Screening Center.As the nurse led Serenity to various departments to perform tests, Serenity saw long queues at the entrances of several of the departments.According to the nurse, some companies were also conducting their medical checkups there, so it was a very busy day.Serenity followed the nurse to the ultrasound department. There were long queues outside several of the ultrasound rooms. The nurse led Serenity towards a room with no queue."Serenity!" Suddenly, a voice called out.Serenity turned around and saw Liliana Granger. She was queuing in one of the lines.Serenity was surprised to see Liliana. Was she there for a medical checkup too? Then... Serenity looked at the people a

Liliana was always overshadowed by Serenity when Serenity worked at the law firm. Serenity shone so brightly that it made Liliana feel invisible.Now, Liliana would make sure everybody in the law firm get a good look at Serenity. She wanted them to see what the so-called pride of the female lawyers from back then looked like now!She wanted to let the people in the law firm know how wrong they were!That was the only way her anger could be quelled.Just then, a nurse passed by, and the co-worker who was talking to Liliana asked the nurse, "Excuse me, a staff member told us earlier that ultrasound room is not open for medical checkups, but a nurse clearly led someone who's here for a medical checkup to that room. What's going on?""Oh, that person must have booked our hospital's VIP medical checkup package," answered the nurse."VIP medical checkup package?" The co-worker looked stunned. She asked, "How much does that cost?""It depends on the package, but even the cheaper ones c

It was the darkest time of her life. She felt as if living had become meaningless. If it wasn't because Lisa visited her from time to time, she probably wouldn't be alive now.The doctor sighed. "A gynecologist will take a good look at your medical report later. Maybe we can still do something about it.""Do something about it?" Serenity was stunned. "Is there really a way?""You're still young, so it's not completely out of the question. Besides, nothing's absolute in the medical field," the doctor explained.Serenity's heart started to be filled with hope again. Although she knew that there was only a sliver of hope, it was hope nonetheless.If... the injury could actually heal, then... wouldn't she be able to have her own children?Jackson's face suddenly popped up in Serenity's mind.If she really could have children, then the children's father..."Okay, we're done here." The doctor's words interrupted Serenity's daydream.She quickly got down from the examination table an

Serenity did not stay to argue with Liliana. After she said what she wanted to say, she gestured at the nurse to take her to the next place for her next examination.Liliana stood rooted to the spot, glaring hatefully at Serenity's back. When she turned around, she saw everyone from the firm staring at her.Liliana could only smile and slink back into the group.After all that, she still did not know how Serenity could afford a VIP medical checkup package.Serenity returned to Jackson after she finished all the examinations."Are you done?" Jackson asked."Yes, but some reports will only come out this afternoon at the earliest," replied Serenity."Then, let's go out for breakfast. You haven't had breakfast yet," said Jackson."Okay," Serenity answered. She left the hospital with Jackson."What do you want to eat?" he asked."Let's just go grab something nearby," she said. It was only a little past nine, so a lot of breakfast places nearby were still open."No problem." He sm
