Serenity sat in the car and looked out the window, watching the landscape moving past her quickly. She hummed softly, filling the car with a soothing and gentle tune. Jackson arched an eyebrow. He waited until Serenity had finished humming before asking, "What song is this?""Walk of Life, a classic." Serenity explained, "Granny loved it. She was the one who taught me to sing this song. I used to sing it all the time, but I couldn't understand the meaning of the lyrics when I was younger. The older I got, the more I understood the meaning of the lyrics.""A nice song indeed," Jackson agreed."Yeah. It's a shame Granny can't teach me anything anymore," Serenity murmured, a tired look on her face.Serenity had barely slept for the past few days. She had spent most of her time sitting beside Granny's casket or busy with the funeral, only sleeping three to four hours because she did not have time to sleep."If you're tired, just close your eyes and rest. It's two hours away by car,"

"What if you get caught too?" A little boy's voice spoke out, but she could not see the little boy's face.The little girl immediately retorted, "It won't happen!" The little boy just looked at her quietly and did not speak.A few moments later, the little girl mumbled, "If I get caught too... Well, we can keep each other company. I'm not afraid!"The little girl grabbed the boy's hand, the pair of silver bracelets on her wrists shining.The little girl and little boy were fleeing down a rough mountain road. The little boy was usually pampered and athletic, but it was his first time experiencing such an escape.The little girl led the way throughout their escape, holding the boy's hand tightly. The little boy slipped suddenly and fell down the hill, dragging the girl along. The little girl got stuck on a small tree branch growing on the side of the hillside and stopped falling. The little girl's left hand was still holding onto the boy's hand tightly. The boy was hanging in mi

She touched her forehead and discovered that it was covered in beads of cold sweat. What was happening to her now? Was it a nightmare? That hillside she had just dreamt of was the same one in the small town where she had grown up.Besides... That scene in the dream... Serenity bit her lips without realizing it. The sun was shining brilliantly outside the window. She looked at the time—it was already 11 o'clock. She had really slept for a long time.She turned to the nightstand and found a note Jackson had left for her. His handwriting was long and thin but strong and firm at the same time. She thought it looked very beautiful. As she read it, she found out that he had left for work at the company early in the morning to deal with all the work accumulated over the past few days but that he would be home in time to have dinner with her.Seeing his handwriting made Serenity feel all warm and fuzzy inside, and the panic and anxiety she had felt in that dream earlier slowly dissipated.

"Don't mention it," Lucas replied in a calm voice. "Since it's a wish of yours, I'd gladly help you.""You're so nice to me, Luke."Lucas's heart trembled when he heard that nickname. For whatever reason, hearing it from the lips of this woman somehow irritated him."Just call me Lucas next time," he told her. "Luke is just a nickname I had when I was young.""Okay," Lynette responded without raising any questions.After all, she had only heard the name "Luke" from Serenity all those years ago. Back then, when she was still a little girl, Serenity had returned home with her dress all tattered and dirty. She had claimed that she had saved someone, but no adults at home believed her. They all just assumed that she was lying to cover up her own naughtiness, and she had even been spanked for it.As for Lynette, because she still had a child's curiosity, she had asked Serenity exactly what had happened to her. That was when she had found out how Serenity had saved a little boy, and sh

"A year?" Lisa repeated in a low voice, then asked, "Does that mean that you're going to postpone your wedding with Jackson?"Serenity nodded, "I haven't told him about it yet, though. I'll do it tonight and see what he thinks about it."Still, she had a hunch that he would agree to it because ever since they had started dating, he had always agreed to everything she asked.Lisa studied her friend's wearied, worn-down face and then suggested, "Why don't you come with me to the mall, Serenity? Terry wants me to attend a gala with him, and he told me to pick up a dress he ordered for me in a boutique at the mall nearby."To be frank, Lisa had never had any desire to attend any banquets or galas at all because she hated to be the center of people's attention, but Terry seemed to have gotten addicted to dragging her everywhere with him and just would not take no for an answer.What was even more exasperating was that when she gave him an excuse of being too busy having to work overtim

"I'm only here with a friend," Serenity replied in a flat tone. "If you want someone to help you choose what to buy, you'd better ask that lady over there. She's the shopping consultant."And so, Lynette awkwardly went off toward the lady standing nearby for her help.Just then, Lucas walked up toward Serenity and told her, "Don't be too sad about your grandma. Everyone dies in the end. Some people just get there before others."Serenity raised her eyes to look at him. Was he trying to... comfort her? Lucas's tall and slender frame was clad in a dark silvery gray suit, and his handsome face was set in a cold and indifferent expression. The Prince of the Entertainment Industry had always been infamous for being a cold and distant man, known for switching from one girlfriend to another, but nobody could guess who his next girlfriend would be. 'Would it be Lynette?' Serenity thought suddenly. After all, Lucas had chosen all those other women in the past to be her cousin's substitut

"What were you two talking about just now?" Lynette asked, full of suspicion. "Why did you suddenly..."But the words that came out of Lucas's mouth next shocked her to the core."How did you know that my nickname is Luke, Serenity?"In an instant, Lynette's body was covered in goosebumps. She stared at Serenity in disbelief. Did she... Did she just call this man Luke just now?!Did it mean that Serenity had regained her memory?!When she thought of how she would lose everything she had right now the instant Serenity regained her memory, Lynette felt so dizzy she thought she might lose her balance."So, is it true?" Serenity asked, her brows furrowed. "Is your nickname really Luke?"In other words, that boy in her dreams really was Lucas, right? And in that case, did it mean that everything she had seen in those dreams had actually happened as well?"Tell me exactly how you know about this nickname!" Lucas once again demanded."It was me!" Lynette suddenly interjected. "I was

For some reason, she felt a dull pain in her heart when she heard those words from him.***After hearing Serenity's explanation about the connection between Lucas Gomez and Lynette Blossom, Lisa's jaw dropped, and she mumbled, "That's just way too dramatic!"Who would have thought that the real woman that the Prince of the Entertainment Industry, who had been changing from one girlfriend to another for ages now, had been looking for was actually her best friend's cousin?!"Then why did he grab your arm in the boutique just now?" Lisa asked.Serenity considered it and replied, "I asked him a question, but it looked like... I must've touched a sore nerve or something."What truly made her wonder was why her cousin would say that she was the one who had told her about Lucas's nickname, because she had absolutely no memory of Lynette telling her about saving a boy before, much less mentioning the nickname Luke to her.But she had no time to ask Lynette about it before they left."
