Chapter 761
Lucas had been searching for her, but she had forgotten him.Serenity looked at Lucas in a daze. Seeing how he was carrying her on his back, her eyes turned a little moist.The young Lucas had said that if she was hurt, he would carry her on his back too, but… There was no forever between them. He was not the one she loved!"Lucas. I won't come to this forest hill again. Whatever happened in the past is just the past. You shouldn't be so obsessed with what happened when you were young," Serenity said.Serenity did not want to see Lucas stuck in the past. Besides, Lynette was deceiving him. Unfortunately, Serenity was in no position to explain it clearly.Lucas sneered, "Serenity, who are you to be telling me this?"Serenity choked at his question. Lucas added, "I heard you don't get along with Lynette. She's the one who saved my life. Does that bother you?"Serenity knew he had misunderstood her. "I just don't want you to be deceived," she said."Deceived? Do you think your c

Lucas had not expected Serenity to be here. He had not expected the shocking incident either.Lucas's mind had almost gone blank when he saw Serenity fall off the cliff. He had instinctively rushed forward and grabbed her wrist, forgetting that he might fall with her if he was not careful.Lucas panicked even more when Serenity could not reach him because of her headache. He was afraid he would not be able to hold her long. Afraid she would end up falling. Afraid because she was struggling with her headache.He was scared to death!Lucas had never experienced such fear in a long time! The moment he managed to pull her up, she was already unconscious. His back was covered in cold sweat. His hands were shaking, and eventually, he was trembling in fear.When he came back to his senses, he was holding her in his arms tightly. It was as if she was someone really important. He was reluctant to let go!Why? Why had things turned out like this?! He already knew she was not the little gir

'Serenity, please be okay! Don't get hurt!' Jackson thought. He would find her no matter what."What about the nearby surveillance? Did you find anything?" Jackson asked."We're still working on it. We should have results soon," Connor answered hastily.Fortunately, the roads near the hills were monitored by surveillance cameras. If Ms. Lewis had left the area, she would have been caught on camera.Connor soon received the surveillance feedback during this period. Only 13 cars had driven in and out, and a few pedestrians around the area.This area was a remote part of the town. Not many people would have crossed here.They had investigated the car owners of these 13 cars. They were all innocent town residents, having no criminal records or ties to Ms. Lewis.Ms. Lewis was not among the pedestrians who had passed by the road.In other words, there was a good chance that Ms. Lewis was still in these hills. However, all the hills here were connected. It was going to be a little tr

Although Jackson knew about the hill, it was the first time he had ever set foot here.As he followed the search party and walked through the forest, the painting he had seen in Lucas' studio flashed before his eyes.In the painting, the little girl had carried the little boy on her back, walking through the dense forest. The little girl seemed to be bending forward. The little boy seemed to be too heavy, crushing her. Even so, the little girl kept on walking. Every step she took became harder. When Jackson saw the painting for the first time, he felt nothing. However, he panicked after putting Serenity and Lucas into the picture.What was he panicking about? Was it fear? Was it because the bond between Serenity and Lucas would not break despite his underhanded tactics? Or was it something else? Jackson feared Lucas would always be in her mind. Serenity had forgotten him for now, but she might remember everything one day…Maybe he was worried about her love for him? Did she lov

Right. She had been up on the hill for a long time. Jackson must have been worried and came to look for her. Serenity's first instinct was to run to Jackson's side. Then, she realized Lucas was still carrying her on his back. She hurriedly told Lucas, "H-Hey, put me down.""Looking for Jackson?" Lucas's cold voice rang."Yeah." Serenity gave an affirmative answer."Serenity. Once I put you down, anything that happens to you will be none of my business. From now on, you're just a stranger to me. Don't call me Luke again. It's not for you to say." What Lucas said sounded like a warning and farewell.Serenity felt a little sore on her nose. A strange feeling rose, weighing on her heart. Was it because… Because she had lied to him? Or was it due to losing a friend? Because the friend she had made as a child would become nothing more than a stranger? "I understand, Mr. Gomez," Serenity said softly.Both of them spoke so softly that only they could hear each other. After that, Lucas

Good thing she was not, or else… Lucas felt a sting in his heart again. He pursed his lips tightly and swore to erase his feelings for Serenity and leave nothing behind!Serenity finally approached Jackson, but he was strangely quiet. His beautiful eyes seemed very dark at the moment. An air of silent despair surrounded him.Was Jackson angry? Was he mad seeing her with Lucas? Or was he worried because she had been on the hill for so long?There were many people around them. It was inconvenient for her to explain. She would have to wait until they were alone before explaining everything to him."Sorry! You must've been worried!" Serenity explained, "I wanted to give you a call, but… I couldn't reach you because I accidentally dropped my phone and broke it."It was not just her cell phone that had broken. Lucas had accidentally stepped on his phone in the process of saving her and cracked the screen.Both of them were unable to make any calls. With their phones broken, they had

"You're sorry?" He was so angry that he burst out laughing. What she did to him was far more than just making him worry.She would never know how panicked he was when he first saw Lucas carrying her on his back. His legs had turned so weak at the sight that they were almost unable to keep him standing. And how could she ever understand how unbearable it was for him to see her whispering with Lucas?! When he saw her thanking Lucas with a smile on her face when Lucas put her down, the words of his dead father rang in his ears, "Jack, if there ever comes a day when your joy, sorrow, and anger all rest in the hands of another person, you'll know what it's like to live a miserable… miserable life…"Miserable?Yes, it was indeed miserable. He could taste the bitterness in his mouth. If only he could just lock her up in a place only he knew so she could never go anywhere and see no one else but him. He wanted her to only ever smile at him, not at any other man!It was jealousy! He was

"Lynette," said Lucas, "you'll always be someone special to me unlike all the other women out there because you once saved my life, after all."Huh?!Lynette stared blankly at him, having no clue why he would tell her that all of a sudden.He then continued, "So, I promise you that I'll do whatever I can to give you whatever you want—a life of luxury, a good standing in society that enables you to hold your head high in pride wherever you go... I'll even fulfill your wish to become a superstar!"Lynette's eyes lit up when she heard this. She could not help but get excited.Yet the sight only filled Lucas's heart with a sense of disappointment that even he could not clearly explain.Could the woman of his dreams, the woman that he had been longing to meet again for so long, really be someone like this?"You really are so kind to me, Lucas!"Lynette was blushing deeply by now because of the excitement. She felt that the future she had always fantasized about was gradually becomin
