Semua Bab My Gorgeous Wife is an Ex-Convict!: Bab 1091 - Bab 1100

"As if I could leave the mansion," she retorted.A tiny smile twitched at the corner of his mouth, but the smile seemed weak because of his fever. "You're right, without my permission, you can't leave this place!"'Come on, is this really the time to talk about that?!' thought Serenity."Do you have any fever medicine? Your temperature is pretty high, you need medicine!" she said.He probably got a fever because of last night's rain."No," he replied faintly."Where's your phone? Call Connor, that secretary of yours, and ask him to take you to the hospital," she said."I don't need to go to the hospital," he said with a frown, "It's just a fever. I'll be fine in a couple of days.""Okay, even if you don't want to go to the hospital, you should at least ask Connor to get you some medicine," she urged.He pursed his lips, not saying anything. He then lifted the blanket covering his body and climbed out of bed."Don't tell me you're scared of taking medicine," she casually said.

"One time, I took a few more tablets than I was supposed to out of curiosity and ended up sleeping for three days. I was hospitalized and had to get a gastric lavage. That was how we found out that the maid had switched my pills," he said, looking up at her with a hint of self-deprecation in his gaze. "That maid was the kindest person to me when I first arrived at the Valor family. Every day, she would ask how I was doing, pretend to care for me, and watch me consume the sleeping pills she prepared for me with a smile."Serenity felt extremely upset, "How could anyone do this to a child just to make their life a bit easier, so that they could go out on a date? Did she not consider the consequences?"In the worst case scenario, it could have even caused mental illnesses!Jackson sneered. "There are many more people like her in this world. They're willing to sacrifice others for minor gains."Serenity asked, "What happened to her afterwards?""The Valor family dismissed her," he s

The room was silent, and he was alone.She's... not here? He looked down at his empty hands.So even if he forced her to stay in the mansion, she wouldn't stay by his side. It was the same with his parents. No matter how hard he pleaded with his parents to stay with him, they left him one after another in their own ways.In the end, he was alone again.Alone, just like in the past... What's the big deal? Before he met her, hadn't he always been alone?The only person in this world he could rely on was himself!Despite telling himself that, his heart still hurt, and the painful sensation was quickly spreading to his whole body.Suddenly, the door was pushed open, and a person walked in.Jackson stared at the approaching figure, his eyes wide with surprise."You're up. I made you some oatmeal porridge." Serenity placed the porridge down on the nightstand and reached out to check his temperature.His forehead was still a little warm but his fever had gone down. He was doing much

Jackson seemed to know what she was thinking. He said, "Don't worry, I won't let the old man do anything to you."She put down the empty bowl, stood up, and said, "Get some rest. I'm going back to my room."He grabbed her sleeve before she could turn away. He raised his head slightly to look at her, his eyes bright."Jackson, what are you doing?" she asked."You still have feelings for me, don't you? If you didn't care, you wouldn't have watched over me, you wouldn't have made sure I took my medicine, and you wouldn't have cooked porridge for me..." His voice was hoarse. His expression was that of both begging and yearning. "Serenity, please tell me you love me. I never knew that I could love a woman so deeply!"To the public, he was the high-and-mighty Mr. Valor, but when he was with her, he was willing to humble himself and plead for her love!Serenity's mind went blank.Lucas tried everything in his power to find Serenity, but to no avail. Jackson was also a powerful man, so

"I'm sorry, Mr. Smith... I didn't think he would bring you here," Serenity said awkwardly.The elderly man didn't ask any questions; he had lived long enough to know when not to ask unnecessary questions.He laid out the tools he brought with him before instructing Serenity to extend her right hand.The different needles and knives made Serenity recall the pain from her last treatment session, which made her tremble.As Mr. Smith was about to insert a needle into Serenity's hand, Jackson grabbed his wrist and asked, "What's this for?" To which Mr. Smith replied crossly, "For treatment. What else?" He did not like being interrupted during treatment."If you're going to use needles and knives, why didn't you give her anesthesia first?" Jackson asked with a scowl."Because administering anesthesia would hinder the reactions of her fingers. I need to see her fingers' natural responses to treat her," Mr. Smith said.Jackson was still unconvinced. "But this needle...""It's okay, I
