"But I am," he said.She felt her heart instantly enveloped by something. Her nose began to tingle, and her eyes turned misty.So, there really was one person in this whole world who felt her pain.Whatever pain she had to endure, Jackson would feel it too.It looked like falling in love with him might have been the best decision she could ever make in her whole life. He bundled her up in a bath towel and carried her out of the bathtub, then changed her into clean comfy clothes before carrying her out of the bathroom and applying medicine to her wounds."Tell me if it hurts," he said."Okay."He was very gentle when applying the medicine, so much so that it was as if he treated her as his most cherished treasure, a treasure that was even more valuable than his own life.In the end, when he was done applying medicine to the red mark around her wrist, he still would not let go of her hand but just kept staring at the red mark on her wrist that still had not faded."Tell me," h

Because Serenity was still in mourning for her grandmother, not to mention that it was near her memorial day, she had no desire to dress up in bright colors yet, but she still applied foundation on her face and put on some light makeup.Still, with her fingers' limited flexibility, she could not have given herself a more complicated makeup look even if she wanted to. She looked down at her hands and smiled gently. Even though they could never heal completely, they were still much better than before. In fact, these were the hands that had completely let go of Lucas Gomez and would only hold onto Jack's hands from now on!She stood up and was just about to leave the room when she caught a glimpse of the door that connected this room to the one right next to it. It was ajar.Ever since Jackson had picked up the habit of sleeping with her in this room, he rarely ever went back to his old bedroom.Serenity walked up to the door and was initially going to just close it, but for some re

Dr. Landale's unwelcome appearance at the Valor Residence had indeed been out of everyone's expectation, but what was even more troublesome was the fact that Miss Lewis had seen her too.Connor feared that even when this was all over, he would get some severe punishments from Mr. Valor! The thought made him shudder involuntarily. He then glanced at the psychiatrist, who had already calmed down by then.A doubt suddenly crossed his mind. Had she actually barged into Valor Residence just because she was afraid? Just because she was worried that her career would be ruined? Was that really why she wanted to hastily prove that she had not given Miss Lewis hypnotherapy yet?Did this kind of reason not sound a bit too simplistic? Besides, he had simply arranged for Dr. Landale to attend a meeting overseas and give her a short holiday, after all.With this in mind, the look in Connor's eyes changed. He had been working with Jackson for a long time, so he had seen a lot of things. Naturally

So… that was the final straw for him?!Serenity stared blankly at the half-completed cake in front of her. She used to think that she would be overjoyed the day she saw this cake. And yet, she felt like crying at this moment. Their story had come to a close… but if she let it end like this, there would always be a misunderstanding between her and Jackson. No matter what, she had to explain herself! “Jack, the thing between me and Lucas really is…” Before she could finish talking, his lips had already closed in on her, plugging her voice off completely. He bit her lip, almost as if he was punishing her. “Didn’t I already tell you to never mention your past with him? I don’t care what you two were like back then. Now, I just want you to stay by my side forever.” Serenity swore that a second ago, her lips were stinging hot. And yet, it felt icy all of a sudden. Did that mean… he didn’t care about her explanation or that he didn’t believe her? All he wanted was for her to remain b

“You’re… tired?” asked Serenity, who seemed to be only capable of repeating his words.“That’s right. I’m tired, so our relationship’s over!” It was too tiring for Jackson. Loving someone takes a toll on you, whether physically or mentally. If loving Serenity meant he had to suffer constant anxiety and restlessness, he would rather not love at all.If Lucas was destined to be her lover, he would rather not have the rest of her.Back then, when his father had died before his eyes, he swore to himself he would never lose his life to a woman who could betray him. It had never happened in the past, and it would never happen in the future!Serenity stood up awkwardly. While it was obvious that Jackson was standing in front of her, she couldn’t help but notice the distance between them. He was breaking up with her because he was tired? Then what did their relationship mean to him? Did he think it was just a game? The difference between them was that she was fully-invested in the relatio
