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 eyelashes 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 Solaria, 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 wounds come 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 clasp the photo album against her chest as if it was her baby.

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,

“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 eyelashes, but the look in her eyes was slowly reparing its rarity and lightness. She stayed silent for a long time, until at last she said, “I’m sorry. L completely lost my compusure just now.” NôvelDrama.Org holds © this.
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 your composure without any hesitation in front of me.”
