Chapter 345
He slowly opened his eyes. She really did⦠come back, just like last time. Even though she was scared of him, disgusted with lim, maybe even hated him, she still could not bear to see him in pain, right? At the thought of that, even the pain seemed to
subside a little.
Jackson opened his mouth and swallowed the medicine that Serenity fed him.
She could not help looking at his lips. As expected, she saw teeth marks there. He must have been in great pain earlier.
âIf you keep looking at my lips like this, itâll make me think that you want to kiss me,â Jackson said.
Serenity suddenly came back to her senses. Her face instantly turned red. âI was just looking at your lips because theyâre bleeding, I donât have any other intentions.â
âEven ifâ¦you have other intentions, itâs fine. If itâs you, you can kiss me anytime you want,â he said. Although his face was still pale and his forehead was drenched in sweat, he could talk normally now
Serenity looked away to avoid eye contact so that she would not blush even harder.
Her eyes fell on the plate on the table. The incense in front of it was still burning, but it was about to burn out.
âThe incense is about to burn out. Do you want to put a new one in? Serenity said. Usually, before the worship ritual was over, the incense could not stop burning
Seeing the situation here tonight with lit incense and candles as well as food and fruit offerings, this should be a worship
When Jackson heard that, he tried to stand up, but Serenity quickly held him down and said, âDonât move. Iâll do it.â
After she said that, she went to the table, picked up the incense on the shelf and lit it on a candle. Facing the black and white portrait of the man, she bowed three times before inserting the incense into the incense burner.
There was surprise in Jacksonâs eyes. He looked at her, stunned.
He did not expect her to bow to his father. From this angle, he was looking at her from the side. He could not see her expression very clearly, but he could feel that she took the three bows seriously.
Did his fatherâ¦see that? This was the woman he loved. From now on, he would keep her by his side and make her rely on him like a fish relied on water so that she could never leave him.
He would not repeat his fatherâs mistake.
After burning the incense, Serenity turned around, only to meet Jacksonâs eyes. She immediately felt a little embarrassed Uhh. The woman in the portrait, is that your mother?â She tried to change the subject.
However, she immediately regretted asking that question! Having spent some time with him, she knew that his mother someone he did not want to talk about. Mentioning his mother now was way too reckless of her!
he panicked and tried to think of another tople to talk about, but before she could, he already answered, âYes.â
She was stunned. She did not expect him to answer.
âDo you think sheâs pretty?â he suddenly asked.
Serenity nodded. His mother was indeed pretty. She would leave an impression on anyone who laid eyes on her.
r was
âYeah, sheâs beautiful. In the past, my father loved her so much. He would do whatever she said and give her everything she wanted,â he said in a soft vodce. âBut one day, when the man who could give her everything she wanted left his home for her, he could not give her status and wealth anymore and, consequently, lost all value to her.â
