    But after that, Connor immediately reminded himself to stop specting. It was not something that he


    should concern


    himself with.


    Connor gently closed the door behind him. Inside the house, Jackson looked at the still–asleep


    Serenity. He brought the medicine in his hand to her slightly dry lips. “Be a good girl and take the


    medicine, okay?”


    However, her lips shut tighter instead. He could not even stuff the pill into her mouth, let alone make


    her swallow it.


    Jackson pursed his lips so hard that it almost formed a straight line. He put the pill in his mouth


    together with some water, lowered his head and moved his mouth closer to Serenity’s.


    His lips pressed against hers. The tip of his tongue pried open her lips and pushed the medicine into


    her mouth. There were actually other methods he could have used, but for some reason, he chose to


    use this method to feed her the medicine.


    Even though the medicine was already in her mouth, he was still longing for her lips.


    The sensation was like a craving or even an addiction. The touch only made him want more and more


    until… he could stop thinking about it…


    Serenity he whispered, calling her name.


    Suddenly, as if she had sensed him calling out to her, she slowly opened her eyes. Her blurry gaze fell


    on him.


    He was slightly taken aback. For some reason, he felt a little nervous.


    This belongs ? N?velDra/ma.Org.


    Then, her lips parted. She cracked a silly smile. “Mommy, I’ll be a good girl. I want to sleep with you.


    He chuckled. She actually mistook him for her mother. The fever must be messing with her mind.


    Her smile was childish and innocent, but it was also heartbreaking. He recalled that her mother had


    passed away early in her life. To her, her mother must have been thest bit of warmth in that house.


    The corner of Jackson’s lips curled up. His father had died early while her mother had died early. There


    were some simrities


    between them after all.


    “Mommy, stay here with me, okay? I’ll be a good girl, 1 promise…” She half–opened her eyes. Her


    cheeks were flushed due to her fever. Her mouth opened and closed repeatedly. She looked as cute as


    a tiny animal.

    “Okay,” he could not help but reply. He took her hand in his, brought it to his face, and gently rubbed


    her palm against his cheek. He said softly, “Go to sleep. I’m staying right here.”


    With that, she finally closed her eyes and fell asleep once more, only this time, her sleep seemed to be


    much more peaceful


    than before.


    Jackson silently stared at her while she slept. His lips kissed her palm somewhat greedily.


    “Serenity…” The name escaped his mouth.


    He felt like his desire for her was bing stronger and stronger as time passed.


    The more time he spent with her, the more he wanted her!


    “Dad! Mom!” The next day, Joy Shawined to her parents, “I can’t believe Zele actually hit me


    yesterday because of Serenity Lewis! He was totally trying to humiliate me, J was there too. You


    have no idea how upset J looked.”


    Zeke’s face was sullen. He could not care less about his sister’sint. He was too busy thinking


    about how Jackson Valor would react after he found out that Serenity got hurt.


    “Did you run into Serenity yesterday?” their father asked.


    “Yeah!” Joy said indignantly, “I have no idea what a sanitation worker like her was doing in a designer


    brand store! Also, Zeke wrote her a cheque for $720,000!”
