“What about the kids?” Serenity asked. “Elliot will be in charge of them. The other servants will take care of them too. I can bring Micah and Jackie with me if you don’t want to leave them alone,” Jackson said. He knew that Caden wouldn’t want to follow him if Cynthia wasn’t going. Jackson was surprised by his obsession with Cynthia. His affection toward her had gone far beyond the relationship of a sibling. He sometimes wondered if Caden’s feelings toward Cynthia would fade away as he grew up. “You should visit Weston when you arrive in Lanford. It’ll be easier for you to take action under his protection,” Jackson reminded Serenity. “Yeah. I can take the chance to check on Fred too.” The following day, upon learning that Serenity was going to Lanford, Jackie yelled, “I want to go with Mommy! I want to visit Fred!” “It’s not the school holidays yet. You won’t be able to attend kindergarten if you go to Lanford, and Micah has to go to kindergarten alone every day.” Sere

That voice... did not sound friendly. Serenity frowned hearing the spiteful remarks. She exchanged a concerned glance with Clara. The hospital staff member leading them to the ward grew visibly worried and attempted to stop them.However, Wilson stepped forward, holding off the staff member and enabling Clara and Serenity to continue toward Summer's ward."But I still remember you, sister," the woman's voice continued, filled with scorn. "I asked the chef to prepare these dishes especially for you. You must enjoy them!"Soon, sounds of struggle and pain emerged from inside the room.When Clara and Serenity peered through the small window on the ward door, their expressions turned to shock. They witnessed a distressing scene – a woman dressed in a white hospital gown forcefully held down by two individuals in hospital uniforms, one of them pressing her head into the unrecognizable mess of food in front of her.Food got all over the struggling woman's hair and clothes.Not far from

"Where are you going?" asked Clara.Serenity answered with a faint smile, "To see a powerful man in Lanford and deliver a gift for my daughter."That evening, Serenity arrived at the Stanford family mansion.Weston Stanton was surprised to see that Serenity was alone. "Mrs. Valor, I didn't expect you to come here by yourself. Did your children run away again? Are you here to look for them?""Not this time. I came to Lanford with a friend to take care of something. Jackie asked me to bring a gift for Fred," Serenity replied.Weston thus told a servant, "Summon Master Frederick.""Yes, sir." The servant complied and left.After a moment, Fred came to the living room. When he saw Serenity, a warm glow appeared in his eyes.Serenity had been one of the few people to show him kindness when others looked down on him in Solaria.She's also... Jackie's mother!Fred approached, but his gaze couldn't help but wander, as if searching for a certain someone.Serenity knew who he was loo

"No... No... Ah!" With a startled cry, Clara gasped for breath and abruptly opened her eyes, only to be greeted by darkness. She found herself disoriented, as dreams and reality blurred together. However, she soon heard Wilson's voice, filled with concern, asking, "What's wrong? Did you have a nightmare?"Next, the room lit up. Clara saw Wilson's face lean closer to her, looking anxious and concerned. Anxious and concerned... was he worried about her?"What's the matter? Are you feeling unwell?" His worry became more apparent when she didn't answer. He gently touched her forehead."I... just had a nightmare, that's all," Clara murmured. "I dreamt of Summer... I dreamt of her being tormented and abused in the hospital..."She suddenly grasped his hand and pleaded, "Wilson, please let me see Summer again as soon as possible. I want to know what's happening to her. What she's going through isn't treatment, it's abuse!""I can arrange for you to see her and help you investigate th

The following day, Serenity presented Clara with the information she had gathered about Summer, specifically regarding her past relationship with Harry. Harry had fallen in love with Summer at first sight and had pursued her for a year. They eventually started dating, but not long before their wedding, Harry had second thoughts and wanted to call it off. Summer then got into a car accident with Harry's best friend, Nathan Gerhold. They were both in the same car, and Nathan sacrificed himself to protect Summer.Following the incident, Summer's mental health deteriorated, leading to her admission to a psychiatric hospital, while Harry went on to marry Joyce.Clara was stunned by the information. "Why wasn't Nathan Gerhold's name mentioned in prior information?"After all, if the current information were to be trusted, Nathan Gerhold was intricately linked to both Summer and Harry."The Gerhold family, the Scott family and the Hope family are all influential families in Lanford.
