Chapter 270


    Chapter 270


    There was not a peep out of Serenity the whole time. She was perfectly still and silent, almost as if lost


    in her own inner world until the doctor tried to take the photo albus in her hands. She seemed to came


    to her senses suddenly and clurg, tightly to the photo albums, yelling, “No!”


    “No one’s taking it away,” Jackson assured her gently, “but the doctor needs to examine your hands.


    Give it to me, Sis, and let the doctor take a good look at your hands, okay?”


    As soon as Serenity heard him call her sis, she finally looked at him and murmured, “Jack 7”


    “Yes,” he replied, “it’s me. Tell me, what happened to you exactly?


    Hers trembled, and the tears that had been suppressed all this while gushed straight out as she told


    him in a choked–up voice, “It’s burnt! The album with phates of me and my mother! It’s burnt!”


    As she spoke, her curly eyshes seemed to bring forth more tears free her eyes with their every


    fluttering movement


    Jackson was astonished. So, that half–burnt album was a photo album of Serenity and her mother?


    He had spent enough time living with Serenity to understand how important her mother was to her.


    At that moment, the doctor finally had a chance to examine Serenity’s hands. After seeing them, he


    immediately began to treat the scalded area, cleaned the wounds, and bandaged them.


    The bruises on the back of her hand had barely even started to heal, yet there were now more wounds


    on her hands. All ten fingers of her hands were now wrapped in gauze. All throughout the process,


    Serenity remained totally silent, as if she felt no pain at all, but the more she acted this way, the more


    unbearable it was for him to see it


    Jackson pulled out his handkerchief and wiped away her tears, saying, “Don’t cry…”


    Every tear that she shed made him suffer, and it made him feel helpless. He had always been all–


    powerful in Sria, capable of making anything happen, but as for the photo album of Serenity and her


    mother, he realized that no matter how much money he had, it was not enough to restore it to its


    original state.


    Right now, all he could do was wipe away her tears…


    “It’s a minor burn,” the doctor informed them, ‘but it’s nothing serious, fortunately. You shouldn’t let the


    woundse into contact with water until they heal, and you must apply the medicine every day.”


    “Will there be any long–term effects?” Jackson asked.


    “The wounds are all skin–deep,” the doctor replied. “No nerves or muscles were affected, though the


    wounds might leave somme scars in the future.”


    Jackson’s eyebrows knitted

    Once her hands were bandaged, Serenity desperately tried to sp the photo album against her chest


    as if it was her baby.


    Precious


    Seeing this, Jackson pursed his lips tightly, before once again gathering her up in his arms and striding


    out of the emergency room to take her back to the car,


    I


    “Don’t worry about the scars,” he assured her. “Dnce the wounds are healed, get an expert doctor to


    remove all scars.”


    She raised her head slowly until her gaze fell on his face. There were still heads of tears on her


    eyshes, but the look in her eyes was slowly reparing its rarity and lightness. She stayed silent for a


    long time, until atst she said, “I’m sorry. Lpletely lost mypusure just now.”


    That evening, In her most painful moments, she had regarded him as the old “Jack” that she once


    knew and cried bitterly in


    front of him..


    Was it because the pain was too unbearable? Was that the reason why her mind was muddled just


    now?


    “There’s no reason to apologize,” he told her. “You can always lose yourposure without any


    hesitation in front of me.”
