With tightened lips, Jackson approached Serenity step by step, his dark eyes fixed on her.She didn't look away. She faced him straight on.After a while, he raised his hands and embraced her. "Serenity, I'll believe you one more time. Just this once."He chose to believe that she would keep her vow.Or maybe... rather than saying that he believed her, it's more precise to say that he wanted to believe her; he wanted it to be true!Serenity leaned into Jackson's arms, taking in his familiar scent. So, he's willing to believe her. Did that mean their marriage would go smoothly?She didn't know how much trust he had in her now, but at least he's willing to believe her, and that's good!Caleb sent Lucas back to his mansion, but Lucas didn't want to go in. Instead, he stood outside the gate, lost in thought.Caleb had no choice but to stand there with him.Lucas stared at the spot underneath his feet. Serenity stood here that day.At the moment, Lucas' heart was filled with unsp

"Caleb..." Lucas seemed to be crying and laughing at the same time, like a child with a broken heart, "What should I do? I missed out... I missed out on her... Am I going to lose her forever? I'm only a few days late, only a few days... Why didn't I believe her? Why didn't I get down from the car and listen to what she had to say? Why? I was her only hope when she was desperate, but I pushed her away..."Lucas screamed, roared and cried over and over again... Caleb had never seen Lucas behave like this. All he could do was to stay by Lucas' side and console him as best he could.After having dinner in the Valor Residence, Serenity took a shower, put on the pajamas Jackson prepared for her, and went to Jackson's bedroom.Her personal belongings and clothes had already been moved into this room.This room was not unfamiliar to her, but she had never slept in it before. The room's decoration and furniture had a grayish tone, which gave off a cold vibe, but today, there were some red

Considering the financial power of the Valor family, even if the babies were born prematurely, they would surely receive the best medical care possible, which would greatly enhance their chances of survival."But what would happen to you? Have you ever thought about that?" He couldn't help raising his voice."If we have to take a risk anyway, I'd rather take that risk together with my babies. I'm their mother. I can't let them take all the risk while I remain safe and sound."He tensed up at the word "mother."His own mother left him behind and walked away when he was gravely injured.But Serenity was willing to take a huge risk for the sake of her children.Her mother and Serenity were completely different people... Serenity would surely be a good mother. Their children would not experience what he did."Jack, I really want to keep all three babies.""You can say that I'm being too impractical, too emotional or too irrational, but... you don't understand how crushed I was when

She closed her eyes and tried to calm herself.This time, she fell asleep very quickly.Jackson slowly opened his eyes to look at the woman lying next to him. Her steady breathing let him know that she had fallen asleep.She had no idea how much willpower it took to stop her from touching him just now.He was afraid that once she touched his chest, he would no longer be able to suppress his desire!As expected, the doctors' risk assessment report recommended a multifetal pregnancy reduction surgery. After all, it was objectively the most prudent option.However, the assessment report did not say that it was the only option. The doctors had also come up with an alternative plan that would enable all three babies to be born, but the risk was much higher. Also, it would cause some damage to Serenity's body."If you insist on giving birth to all three babies, it would be very dangerous for your uterus. Your uterus may experience massive blood loss during labor. If we can't stop the

From the car, Jackson watched Serenity walk into the hospital.She had no idea that she wasn't just gambling with her life this time, she was gambling with his life too.If she lived, he would live as well.But if anything happened to her, he would not live alone. If she wanted to gamble, he would gamble with her – with his life!Lisa's ward was an ICU ward, but it was a relatively private ICU ward. There was even a room next door for family members to sleep in.The environment and conditions here were quite a bit better than that in the previous hospital.Upon seeing Serenity, Lisa's father and mother thanked her profusely."Auntie and Uncle, there's no need for this. Lisa sacrificed so much for me. This is the least I could do for her," Serenity said. She was more concerned about her friend's condition. "What did the doctors say? Did they say when Lisa would be out of critical condition?""They didn't say, so it might take some time. But they did say that they would bring th
