The atmosphere in the room shifted as the tension rose. The look on the mercenaries' faces changed. They wanted to restrain Monica and stop her. After all, Serenity was their best bet to save their lives and get the money!But Monica would not let the men get to her and dragged Serenity closer to the edge of the rooftop. "If anyone comes closer, I'll kill her. I'm going to die, anyway, but it's worth dragging Mrs. Valor to die with me. I just wonder if Mr. Valor would give up your wife!" Jackson glared at Monica. "Well, you can try and see if I'm willing to give her up," he said as he strode to Monica, his eyes cold like ice daggers ready to kill.As Jackson approached, Monica's expression flickered with wariness. "Don't come any closer! Or I'll kill her!" As her voice trailed off, she drew her dagger and made a bloody mark on Serenity's neck. Serenity whimpered in pain, crimson blood dripping down from the wound on her neck, staining her clothes. The expression in Jackson's ey

Serenity realized that Monica had no desire to escape. Her behavior was like the violent acts of unhinged minds. Or maybe she was searching for another way to escape. Jackson gave Monica a cold look. "Strip naked?""Yeah. Start taking off your clothes until you're naked. Why don't you take a selfie? Post it on the internet later. If it gets more than 10,000 likes in a minute, maybe I'll let Serenity go," Monica said, her proposal a complete humiliation to Jackson! She was just treating Jackson like a fool!"No, Jack!" Serenity protested through the pain. Blood continued to trickle down the wound on her neck, and she watched in horror as Jackson began to do as told.There was a loud silence with nothing but the helicopter blade whirring above them. Jackson unbuttoned his shirt, revealing the thin sweatshirt underneath. After unbuttoning all the buttons, he removed his shirt. Jackson's men watched as he took his shirt off and moved to his belt."Jack! Stop… She's just playing wi

Jackson's presence put Serenity at ease. She did not have to worry about anything with him around."You saved me again, Jack," Serenity muttered. "Just now, if Monica… If she wasn't distracted… You weren't going to strip naked, were you?" It hurt whenever she spoke a word, but she could not help asking.Jackson's eyes darkened, and he gazed down at her. "What if I say yes? If she wasn't distracted, I'd have continued to strip. She had your life in her hands. If I can't find a way to take her down, I'll do everything she says, even if it means humiliating myself!" Serenity stared at Jackson in shock. Would a proud man like him do this much for her?"What, you don't believe me? Don't believe I'd go this far?" Jackson asked.Serenity shook her head. "I-Its not that...""Believe it or not, it doesn't matter anymore. I'd do anything to save you," Jackson whispered. "What about you? If one day I'm in danger, would you risk everything to save me?" Jackson muttered softly, almost as tho

Serenity watched Jackson's painful expression. He even knocked his head against the cracked ground, as if trying to stop his pain with such a painful method.But contrary to Jackson's words, Serenity didn't tighten her grip on his hand. Instead, she loosened her hand. In an instant, her delicate wrist slid slowly down between his fingers."Serenity, don't!" Jackson screamed frantically, tears now streaming down his face at some unknown point.His tears dripped onto her face...!The warmth made her feel like sacrificing everything for this man wouldn't matter, and she wouldn't regret it if she did. Because in this world, there would never be another person who loved her like he did.Similarly... "Jack, I'm sorry... for hurting you, but in this world, I must be the woman who loves you the most... Live well, you... you must live well..."She loved him so deeply. She loved him so much that even if she had to make the same choice again, she would.As the explosion sounded once agai

Her consciousness gradually blurred, and her final thoughts were... How was Jackson? Was he badly injured? When she finished the surgery and woke up, she should be able to see Jackson, right?She had so much to say, so many questions to ask him...While Serenity was undergoing surgery, Lisa, on the other hand, was undergoing various examinations. Since she still had a child in her belly, the doctor couldn't do some tests and could only judge based on their experience.Lisa had never been so nervous. She didn't care how much she was hurt, but she was deeply afraid that the child in her belly would leave her like this."Doctor, my child... are they alright? As long as my child can be saved, it doesn't matter what happens to me!" Lisa said anxiously, watching the doctor frown continuously."You currently have some signs of a possible miscarriage..."As soon as Lisa heard the word "miscarriage," her whole body turned cold. "Miscarriage? Is my child... not going to make it?"Te
