Chapter 862
Jackie was speechless.
He was stunned as he looked at her quietly.
What was he sorry for?
He was sorry for too many things.
Even if he had to spend the rest of his life topensate her, he wouldn''t be able to make up for
the damage he had done to her.
"You''re sorry, sorry?... If saying ''sorry'' has any use, why would there be a need forw and order?
So when the rapists say sorry, must the victims just forgive them?"
Not giving Jackie a chance to speak, Serene shouted over and over again as she was wiping her
tears as if she was venting the grievance she had suffered from him during this period of time.
Hearing that shepared him to a rapist, Jackie sighed and looked down, and there was a hint of
sadness in his eyes.
In fact, Serene was right. Not long ago, he imprisoned her and didn''t give her any freedom. He even
did whatever he wanted with her. Those actions were diabolical, to say the least! Comparing him to
amon rapist was already being kind to him.
"Go! I don''t want to see you! I beg you, please let me go! I really don''t want to see you again, not
even a nce." She couldn''t forget how kind he used to be to her, so she couldn''t ept that the
person who raped and tortured her, was actually the person whom she loved.
During the time in the Misty Mountain, whenever she was bullied by him, she would call out Jackie''s
name in her mind, imagining that the man on top of her was him.
She had never expected that the man was indeed her Jackie...
Jackie''s tall body stood in front of Serene like an unmovable mountain. No matter how she pushed
him, she couldn''t push him at all.
After a long time, Jackie gently opened his mouth and said, "I''m sorry!" It was still these words he
could utter.
"I asked you this. What are you sorry for?" Serene didn''t know what was in her mind. She just had
to get an answer from him.
Jackie was speechless.
Once again, Jackie could not answer her question, because he owed her too much, so much that
he was too guilty to say anything.
Serene bit her lips and asked aggressively, "Can''t you say it? Well, tell me, who are you? What is
our rtionship? Why do you have to say sorry to me?"
"I have not known who I am for a long time, and I can''t even find the courage to live... But I have
never forgotten that I still owe someone a promise. I said that I would give her happiness, but I
haven''t done it yet. I hope she can give me a chance to continue to do the things that I haven''t
aplished." He spoke every word slowly and surely, and Serene heard every single word he
said.
Serene remembered clearly. It was snowing heavily that day, and the snow engulfed every patch of
land, like a thick fluffy cloud.
A man, with a silly look on his face, took her hand and ran into the thick snow. He ran to the top of
the snowy pile and held her hand as he shouted to the sky, "God be my witness, I, Jackie Leves,
swear here today that I will love Serene Ss for the rest of my life and give her happiness. I will
absolutely not allow anyone to hurt her again."
Such a childish thing did not look like what the usually calm and rational Jackie would do, but for
her, he did do such a childish thing.
Just as Serene looked at him in a daze, he suddenly turned his head and caught her gaze. He
smiled and said, "Serene, from now on, you will be my woman. I will take care of you, and I will
never let anyone hurt you again."
"Okay." Although his words sounded ambitious, Serene did not care about that at all. She let out a
wide smile. "With you around, I won''t be afraid." She put her slender hands into his hands. "Jackie, I
will give you happiness from now on too."

They promised each other that they would make each other happy. However, not long after, a huge
tragedy separated them.
She was waiting for him toe back, while he was recovering on a sickbed, and was looking
forward toing back to find her.
They were not together, but they were thinking about each other.
However, no one had expected that another tragedy had taken ce one day before Jackie
nned toe back.
Jackie asked Daryl to secretly investigate the extermination of the Leves family. After half a year of
investigation, he finally got a clue. The information that he obtained pointed at Serene for being
involved in the homicide.
In this one year, his source of support and strength became the culprit of the extermination of the
Leves family. When he received this information, Jackie felt like his world had copsed.
"Can you give me another chance?" Without waiting for Serene''s answer for a long time, Jackie
clenched his fists and asked cautiously.
Serene looked at him. He had changed his face and voice, but the way he looked at her did not
change, which made her see the tenderness that she was so familiar with.
"Is that okay?" He asked again in a more cautious tone as if he was worried that he might scare her
if he spoke louder.
Serene did not answer him. Instead, she stretched out her hands, slowly approaching him, and
finally touched his half- masked face.
One year ago, when the tragedy happened to the Leves family, she heard the news and got there
immediately. She saw how the mansion of the Leves family was burned down. There were more
than a dozen burnt bodies in the house, and no one could tell who died and who survived. Later,
after the forensics were done, it turned out that the dead bodies were all members of the Leves
family.
However, Serene couldn''t tell who survived and who did not. So, Serene didn''t know whether her
Jackie was still alive or dead from that big fire.
Since she didn''t know, she persuaded herself that he would be fine since he was so smart and
skilled. He would definitely have escaped and be fine.
She was waiting for him for a whole year with this belief.
Now that he finally came back, it didn''t matter if he changed his face, or even if he did something to
hurt her...
She still had no way to me him.
Most of the time, her body was more honest than her thoughts. Before she could say anything, her
hand had already touched his face.
She could only imagine his pain in the past year.
"Serene..." He said.
"I''ll give you happiness too." This was the answer she gave him.
"Karen?" Seeing Karen Joy Kyle lowering her head, Nathaniel Cooper reached out and patted her
head, but the little girl did not respond and kept pouting.
"Karen, what''s wrong?" Nathaniel held her face and asked again.
"Nothing." Karen Joy said sullenly.
"Nothing?" All her emotions were reflected on this girl''s face. How could it be possible that it was
nothing?
"I just suddenly feel depressed, I feel a little ufortable." Karen Joy looked up and met
Nathaniel''s gentle gaze.
Nathaniel understood what she was thinking and knew what she was worried about. He stroked her
head and said softly, "Karen, can you give me some more time?"
