Chapter 765
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

His whole body had been exuding a frigid cold aura earlier, yet right now, all that had been transformed into an air of alluring charm that burst forth from his eyes."What if I do this?" he asked softly, his expression seductive and his gesture full of warmth and tenderness."N-No…" she replied stutteringly. "It doesn't hurt that much anymore."How could she still feel the pain now when he had captivated all of her senses?! He kept showering gentle little kisses on the red mark. She tried to withdraw her hand out of shyness since there were other people in the car, but he kept his hold on her arm very firm and would not let her go."Don't move!" he ordered."But…" she protested in embarrassment."Don't you dare move," he insisted, almost with a pleading voice. The hand that was holding her wrist was even trembling slightly. "You're not allowed to move. Just stay this way, or else I don't even know what I'll do to you."Serenity was startled. She sensed that Jackson had been act

A barrage of questions poured forth from his mouth with such an urgent curiosity that he had never displayed before!Serenity stared at the man hovering above her in surprise. It felt like everything he had suppressed in his strained silence in the car was now exploding all at once with these questions."Jack," she told him, "let go of me. I can explain everything."Yet instead of loosening his grip on her hands, he leaned down and showered her with kiss after kiss before saying, "Fine. Go on and explain it to me, then. I'm listening."No matter what, he just was not willing to let go of her.Serenity felt as if her thoughts were all muddled by his torrent of kisses."I… I went there to visit my grandma's grave, and when I was coming down from the mountains, I took a detour through a small path to a nearby mountain where I used to play when I was a little girl. I just wanted to see the place again, but I bumped into Lucas there."Serenity then went on, trying her best to recount

"But I am," he said.She felt her heart instantly enveloped by something. Her nose began to tingle, and her eyes turned misty.So, there really was one person in this whole world who felt her pain.Whatever pain she had to endure, Jackson would feel it too.It looked like falling in love with him might have been the best decision she could ever make in her whole life. He bundled her up in a bath towel and carried her out of the bathtub, then changed her into clean comfy clothes before carrying her out of the bathroom and applying medicine to her wounds."Tell me if it hurts," he said."Okay."He was very gentle when applying the medicine, so much so that it was as if he treated her as his most cherished treasure, a treasure that was even more valuable than his own life.In the end, when he was done applying medicine to the red mark around her wrist, he still would not let go of her hand but just kept staring at the red mark on her wrist that still had not faded."Tell me," h
Chapter 772
Perhaps because yesterday had been a long day for Serenity, she was truly exhausted by the end of it, and after getting something to eat, she felt drowsy right away and fell straight to sleep almost immediately.On the other hand, Jackson sat by her bed for a while, staring at her sleeping face. She was right there, quietly sleeping on the bed as if she would never go anywhere, as if she could never leave him and must always stay in his sight. She was clearly right there in front of him, so why did he still feel as if she was slipping through his fingers?!She told him she was not disappointed today, yet why… did he feel like she was disappointed? For some reason, her words simply sounded unconvincing to him!The image of Lucas carrying her on his back flashed across his mind again, just as if it was a scene from a movie that kept on getting rewound and projected onto his brain. Nothing had ever frightened him so much before! It felt like the thing he feared the most was slowly
