Jackson did not know how much time had passed, but after a while, the pain in his stomach gradually eased.He slowly climbed out of bed and approached Serenity.She was breathing evenly, so she was probably asleep.He leaned down, enduring the discomfort, and carefully lifted her up. He carried her to the bed, put her down and tucked her in gently.His eyes lingered on her face.Earlier, a thought flitted past his mind... If things were truly over between him and her for good, he... might not be able to go on living!He would have lost his reason to go on living!A self-deprecating smile appeared at the corner of his mouth. It appeared that... she was still in control of his life and death after all!He thought by breaking up with her, he could take back control of his own life and she would not be able to influence him anymore. He did not want to commit the same mistake his father did – giving up his life after being betrayed by a woman.However, in the end, he realized that

Jackson feared that, someday, she might smile at Lucas lovingly, hug Lucas intimately, and do all the things she used to do with him with Lucas. Would she even... marry Lucas and have children with him?Those fleeting thoughts were too much for him to bear.The truth was, once you fell in love, you simply couldn't stop loving on command...Serenity woke up to her phone's alarm and realized she was lying in bed, not sitting in a chair.Did Jackson move her to the bed? That seemed to be the only possibility.Jackson was nowhere to be seen.The pills she left on the nightstand yesterday were gone, so she assumed he took them.But he didn't take the rest of the medicine with him.She wondered if his stomach was still bothering him. Then, she chuckled at herself. Why was she worrying about him? He would have the top doctors in Solaria attending to him if he needed treatment.She quickly freshened up, got changed and went to work.As more of her coworkers arrived at the law firm,

"Maybe it's true love," Liliana said. "Lucas Gomez is willing to be seen with her even though she's so unremarkable. He doesn't even try to deny the dating rumors. Maybe it really is true love." The coworkers around them now looked at Serenity with sympathy rather than envy, as there may be some truth to Liliana's words.Liliana continued to analyze, "Lynette Blossom has already started filming a TV series. She supposedly got an excellent role. I heard Lucas Gomez personally drove her to the set. Meanwhile, Serenity's still working as a paralegal. If Lucas Gomez wants to, he could easily open a new firm for Serenity, but..."Liliana suddenly stopped herself and looked at Serenity apologetically. "Oh, I'm so sorry, Serenity. I... Look, these are all just speculations. Maybe... maybe Lucas Gomez will give you a law firm soon!" Despite what she said, she was actually hinting that Serenity wasn't that important to Lucas Gomez.The other coworkers thought her argument made sense. If

"Lily, we're all coworkers. Don't you always say that you're close with Serenity because you used to work in the same firm? How could you stab her behind her back?" asked a coworker. "Some people are just hypocrites!"Her coworkers' rebukes came one after another. Liliana felt so embarrassed that she wished she could dig a hole and bury herself in it. From the looks of it, it's not Serenity who would be fired from the firm, it's Liliana who would be chased out of the firm!Liliana asked for time off and went home. Meanwhile, Serenity continued to work.In a few days, the court would meet again for Leon's case. Even though Susie Sheen continued to deny the charges, the police's investigation after they reopened the case had found more and more conclusive evidence. Things were looking positive. ...Looking positive, huh? Serenity's eyes fell on her right hand that was tapping the keyboard.That was the hand that hit Jackson last night. He held it gently afterwards and asked her, "

The phone rang in the hall, disturbing the silence. Jackson answered the phone and, after a moment, said, "Okay, got it. I'll be right there." After hanging up, he looked at the portrait again and said, "I'm your son after all. Like you, I value a woman more than my own life. If she leaves me, I'll feel like my life has no meaning anymore. But I'll never end up like you! Never!" Jackson said. He turned around and left the memorial hall.Connor, who was waiting outside, was elated to see Jackson come out of the hall. "Mr. Valor!" "Tell the driver to prepare the car. I'm going to the hospital to visit my grandfather," Jackson instructed briefly."Yes, sir," Connor replied.Soon after, a black car drove away from the Valor Residence and headed to the hospital.In the hospital's VIP ward, an old, frail man lay on the bed listening to the doctor telling him about his current condition. A moment later, he impatiently waved his hand and asked, "Just tell me how much time I have left

"So? It's my choice who I want to be with," Jackson answered nonchalantly.*Cough cough*... *cough*...The old man got mad, which made him cough uncontrollably. His coughing bout took a while to pass. "You're that eager to make the same mistake as your father did?" he asked.Jackson responded with his own question, "You also believe that Serenity would be the death of me?" Master Zack fell silent. After a brief pause, he said, "That brat from the Gomez family has feelings for Serenity Lewis too. He doesn't even know that Serenity Lewis is the person he's been searching for yet. If he finds out, what are your chances of winning? Wasn't your decision to break up with Serenity Lewis partly because of that Gomez brat? You're worried that Serenity will betray you for him, right?"Jackson stared intently at the old man. The old man was probably the person who understood him the best in this world. "It's fine as long as I make sure she doesn't betray me," Jackson said."And how can
Chapter 1000
Lisa wanted to refer to herself as his big sister at first, but she was too embarrassed to do that after hearing the little boy call Serenity "auntie." Yanny looked at Lisa and then at his mother with his beautiful eyes. Though he was young, he understood that it was thanks to the help of these unfamiliar people that he could attend a kindergarten. "Thank you, Auntie Lisa," Yanny said. He enunciated his words very clearly. If it weren't for the hearing aid he was wearing, Lisa wouldn't have known that Yanny was deaf in both ears. "Haha, don't mention it!" Lisa beamed, then pointed to her cheek, asking Yanny for a kiss.Yanny's little face blushed slightly, but he did not seem to dislike this smiley auntie he had just met. He hugged her neck and gave her a gentle peck on the cheek.Lisa was overjoyed. It felt like an angel's kiss. She lifted Yanny up and gave him several kisses on his face.Yanny blushed profusely.Seeing his girlfriend's odd behavior, Terry felt jealous. He r

Fortunately, the conversation about Lucas did not last long. Lisa quickly changed the subject and stopped talking about him.After the meal, Terry drove Serenity back to her place before sending Clara and Yanny back home. When Yanny got out of the car, Lisa gave the little one another kiss and waved goodbye. She also promised a gift on his first day of kindergarten.Lisa was still saying goodbye to Yanny. Seeing Lisa's reluctance to leave, Terry stepped on the accelerator and took off."Hey! I still have a lot to say!" Lisa grumbled in displeasure."I didn't realize you liked children so much," Terry said in a muffled voice, wondering why Lisa rarely kissed him that much. Terry thought about the meeting today and counted—Lisa had kissed the kid at least seven or eight times today. "I have love!" Lisa blurted out, making Terry roll his eyes."Well, don't you feel bad for the child?" Lisa shrugged. "I heard from Serenity that Yanny was born in prison. He was deaf from birth. It
