Chapter 120
Serenity merely watched quietly all throughout the process. There was not a trace of perturbations in
her expression even as she looked at the ugly cuts on the palm of her hand.
It was only when the nurse was reapplying the bandages on her right hand that she frowned ever so
slightly due to the pain although she never made a peep of noise to complain.
“Let me do it,” Jackson told
nurse. “You can leave now.”
The nurse then left the room very respectfully. Jackson picked up the gauze and very skillfully and
effortlessly wrapped it around Serenity’s hand. His every move was so gentle and cautious that she
almost felt no pain at all
Once he was done, he put down the gauze and said, “Try your best not to use your right hand over the
next few days, and don’t ever clench your fist like that again. You’ve bled enough.”
She looked at the bandages neatly wrapped around her hand and noticed how even the knot was tied
beautifully, so she commented, “It looks like you’re very good at doing this.”
A gloomy look flickered in his eyes before he replied, “I learned how to do it when I was a kid.”

someone who looked like his mother and rush straight up to them, grabbing them and not letting go.
This caused him to get beaten up a lot.
As for Jackson, he was always the one in charge of bandaging his father’s wounds, so after a long
time, he had naturally become very proficient in the skill. But after his father had died, he had never
bandaged anyone’s wounds ever again. Serenity was the only exception.
He told her, “From now on, don’t ever hold mirror fragments in your hand again, okay? You’re lucky that
the cuts didn’t sever any of your tendons this time, otherwise, you’d never be able to use this hand
again.”
Serenity bit her lips and replied, “But if I didn’t do that last night, there’d be no way for me to stay
conscious, and if I really did pass out, I’d be… completely at their mercy, and they’d do whatever they
want to me.”
“Does it hurt?” he asked. When he had barged into that room last night, she had been holding onto the
mirror fragments tightly in her hand. The sight of blood dripping continuously from her hand was deeply
engraved in his mind.
He had never met a woman who would fight with such willpower. Even though she was already in a
semi-drowsy state, she had still kept on fighting till the end.
“It’s not that bad,” she told him, lowering her eyes gently. “The truth is, this much pain is nothing to me.
You know, Jack, even though you did lie to me, I… I’m still really grateful to you for saving me
yesterday. Back when I was in prison, no matter how much I begged for mercy and pleaded for them to
stop, no one would let me go because I had offended the man who must never be offended in Solaria,
so everyone thought that those pain and sufferings were things that I deserved.”
She paused and took a deep breath before adding, “But last night was different. When I was in pain
and agony, you came to me and saved me. It made me feel like I am not so alone in this world, after
all”
She spoke in a gentle voice, not realizing that Jackson’s expressions had gradually become more glum
and dismal as she went
un.
If there was one thing he regretted in his whole life, it was that a few years ago… he had let go of those
people who had hurt her in prison. Back then, he did not care at all what lord of suffering she had to
endure as a woman in prison. Even if she died in prison, he would simply view it as an insignificant
event in his life.

“I’m sorry,” he murmured.
She looked up at him in confusion and responded, “What are you apologizing for? If you hadn’t come
last night, I wouldn’t be
as safe and sound as I
Serenity thought that he was merely saying sorry for what had happened last night. If he had not gotten
there in time last
2/2
night, she could easily guess what would have happened to her.
She would probably be locked up in the Fosters house until she had given birth to a child… Her face
suddenly turned deathly pale at the thought of what might have happened to her.
After that, she mustered up her courage and told Jackson, “Jack, I have, in any case, offended Jackson
Valor. Back then, the Shaw family was afraid that I would drag them down with me, so Zeke broke up
with me. If Jackson Valor finds out that you’ve helped me, I’m afraid that he’ll get angry and..”
She guessed that Jack might be the kind of rich man whose family was somehow involved with the
Valor family. After all, the Valor family had their finger in every pie when it came to the basic necessities
of life in Solaria. In fact, they even monopolized some industries in this city, which was why Solaria was
often jokingly referred to as the Valors’ City.
