Chapter 838
When Jackson and Serenity were dating, they didn't use any birth control, but because of her injured uterus, it was practically impossible for her to get pregnant anyway, so it was not a problem she had to worry about. In a way, she was lucky.At least Jackson and her didn't share any children, so they could make a clean break!However, deep down inside, she felt a tinge of regret.If she had a child, that would mean she had a family member connected to her by blood.Without a child, she was alone without any family.She might even die alone.Serenity sighed and smiled wryly. Her mood only improved when she saw Yanny's beautiful, innocent face.Serenity hugged Yanny and kissed him multiple times. She brought Yanny a cake to make it up to him since he missed out on her birthday cake.Yanny, in return, excitedly gave Serenity a pair of lovely white sandals with a leather bow in front. They would go well with a lot of her summer outfits.The sandals looked like something right ou

A familiar figure was currently sitting at the dining table, his bright eyes looking over at her.Jackson Valor!What was he doing in her apartment?Serenity was so shocked to see Jackson that she did not even know how to react.Jackson pursed his lips as he stood up and walked towards her, "Why are you so surprised to see me?"How could she not be surprised?! Serenity thought bitterly.She thought she would never see him again after they broke up, but she kept running into him since then.Seeing him made her remember the pain of the breakup, and... the incident at the Skylit Bar where he saved her and she fell drunkenly into his arms."Mr. Valor, why are you in my apartment?" She took a deep breath, doing her best to calm herself."I was waiting for you," he gave a simple answer.Well, considering who he was, it wouldn't be hard for him to gain access to her apartment, but... he's waiting for her? "Is there anything else that needs to be said between us, Mr. Valor? You've al

She's only a game to him."It's none of your business!" His voice echoed in her ears.Yeah, that's his problem. She didn't even have the right to ask."If I give you the photo, will you leave?" Serenity took a deep breath and asked.He was visibly shaken, his eyelashes fluttering. After a while, he said, "Yes." "Okay, I'll give you the photo." She pushed him away and walked to a cabinet. Then, she opened a photo album and took out the photo of herself as a child wearing a floral dress.All she wanted at the moment was for him to leave. Every second he stayed in the tiny apartment with her was another second of her mind not thinking straight.She simply wanted to distance herself from him and let herself calm down so that she could truly forget him.She handed the photo to Jackson.Jackson took it and stared at it absentmindedly.Serenity watched him quietly. She suddenly recalled Lisa telling her that she had slapped him.Was it true? Did he really spare Lisa because of Ser

"If I be Lucas' girlfriend, at least he wouldn't treat me as just a game..." she added.Stop, stop... He didn't want to hear it anymore...The next moment, he abruptly lowered his head and kissed her on the lips intensely, drowning out all her voice.Serenity was completely stunned, not expecting Jackson to suddenly kiss her. What was he doing? They had already broken up!She did not want such a kiss!Serenity struggled desperately.But the more she struggled, the harder he kissed her. He even gripped her hands tightly, not allowing her to move.After the kiss ended, he rested his forehead on hers and said in a hoarse voice, in almost a pleading tone, "Can you... not be Lucas' girlfriend?"His voice pulled her back to her senses. "Jackson Valor, who are you to ask this of me?"A thinly veiled anger crept into his watery eyes.He glared at her, and she glared right back at him.The air became tense.Suddenly, Serenity felt a sharp pain in her knee, making her frown. She refl

"Stop! It's no big deal. I don't need to go to the hospital," Serenity said hurriedly."Start the car," Jackson told the driver coldly.The driver started the car and headed for the hospital.Serenity knew that once Jackson had decided to do something, there was no stopping him.Therefore, she didn't try to persuade him anymore because she knew it was pointless. Since it was unavoidable, she could only accept it.After all, the biggest lessons she had learned over the years were enduring pain and accepting her circumstances.Her sudden silence surprised him.She sat quietly inside the car, her face slightly pale. Her eyebrows were slightly knitted as her eyes hung low. Her hands gripped her knees, the veins on the back of her hands slightly bulging as if she was in pain."Does it hurt?" he couldn't help but ask."It's nothing," she said flatly. Today's pain was nothing compared to the pain a few days ago when her knees flared up because she was standing for too long.Jackson

The car pulled up outside the hospital entrance. Jackson carried Serenity inside.The doctor attending to her was the same as before.After examining her knees, the doctor concluded, "Ms. Lewis, the discomfort in your knees is likely caused by the sudden stopping of your medication and prolonged exposure to the cold. Treating this joint problem is a long-term commitment. Abruptly stopping the medication might make your condition worse.""Prescribe the medicine. I'll make sure she comes over for consultation every week from now," Jackson said coldly. "I don't want long-term treatment. Just give me something to relieve the pain," Serenity requested.The doctor turned to Jackson with a troubled look. "Do as I say," Jackson said. Thus, the doctor gave Serenity a prescription and instructed a nurse to retrieve the medicine for her.Jackson was about to ask the gynecologist who treated Serenity's uterus problems previously to take a look at her condition, but Serenity said, "That

"K-Kiss you?" Her face instantly turned red and her voice stuttered a bit.He looked at her, not realizing how much desire was in his eyes. "Yes, that evening at the Skylit Bar's entrance.""…..." The Skylit Bar? Serenity started to sweat profusely. Getting drunk was a huge mistake!She didn't know she kissed him that evening! She couldn't remember! "If you don't believe me, ask Connor," he said. Connor? His secretary Connor Gunn? He saw it too?! Serenity's face turned even redder."You can also check the surveillance footage. Some of the surveillance cameras there should have caught it," he said.Serenity felt so embarrassed that she wanted to dig a hole and bury herself in it.Surveillance footage... Did that count as getting caught red-handed?"No, it's okay," she said in embarrassment. If she had known she would act like that when she got drunk, she wouldn't have gone drinking.Serenity looked down, avoiding Jackson's gaze. Therefore, she didn't notice him looking at h

The nurse wondered who that woman was. She didn't look like anyone famous. She was wearing cheap, ordinary clothes.But Jackson Valor rubbed his knees for her and served her. Anyone with working eyes could tell that she was very important to him.Looking at the medicine, Serenity did not know if she should laugh or cry.This man was so cruel when he broke up with her, but now, he was gently handing her medicine and water as if they were still together.How could someone be so gentle and cruel at the same time?She took the medicine and the cup of water from him without saying anything and consumed the medicine.He picked her up again and carried her out of the hospital.His luxury car was already waiting at the entrance. When he put her down to open the car door, she took one step to the side, distancing herself from him.He raised his eyebrows slightly, looking surprised.She looked at him intently, scrutinizing him, as if she was trying to see what he was really thinking.
