Chapter 85
But after that, Connor immediately reminded himself to stop speculating. It was not something that he
should concern
himself with.
Connor gently closed the door behind him. Inside the house, Jackson looked at the still–asleep
Serenity. He brought the medicine in his hand to her slightly dry lips. “Be a good girl and take the
medicine, okay?”
However, her lips shut tighter instead. He could not even stuff the pill into her mouth, let alone make
her swallow it.
Jackson pursed his lips so hard that it almost formed a straight line. He put the pill in his mouth
together with some water, lowered his head and moved his mouth closer to Serenity’s.
His lips pressed against hers. The tip of his tongue pried open her lips and pushed the medicine into

use this method to feed her the medicine.
Even though the medicine was already in her mouth, he was still longing for her lips.
The sensation was like a craving or even an addiction. The touch only made him want more and more
until… he could stop thinking about it…
Serenity he whispered, calling her name.
Suddenly, as if she had sensed him calling out to her, she slowly opened her eyes. Her blurry gaze fell
on him.
He was slightly taken aback. For some reason, he felt a little nervous.
Then, her lips parted. She cracked a silly smile. “Mommy, I’ll be a good girl. I want to sleep with you.
He chuckled. She actually mistook him for her mother. The fever must be messing with her mind.
Her smile was childish and innocent, but it was also heartbreaking. He recalled that her mother had
passed away early in her life. To her, her mother must have been the last bit of warmth in that house.
The corner of Jackson’s lips curled up. His father had died early while her mother had died early. There
were some similarities
between them after all.
“Mommy, stay here with me, okay? I’ll be a good girl, 1 promise…” She half–opened her eyes. Her
cheeks were flushed due to her fever. Her mouth opened and closed repeatedly. She looked as cute as
a tiny animal.

“Okay,” he could not help but reply. He took her hand in his, brought it to his face, and gently rubbed
her palm against his cheek. He said softly, “Go to sleep. I’m staying right here.”
With that, she finally closed her eyes and fell asleep once more, only this time, her sleep seemed to be
much more peaceful

Jackson silently stared at her while she slept. His lips kissed her palm somewhat greedily.
“Serenity…” The name escaped his mouth.
He felt like his desire for her was becoming stronger and stronger as time passed.
The more time he spent with her, the more he wanted her!
“Dad! Mom!” The next day, Joy Shaw complained to her parents, “I can’t believe Zele actually hit me
yesterday because of Serenity Lewis! He was totally trying to humiliate me, Janet was there too. You
have no idea how upset Janet looked.”
Zeke’s face was sullen. He could not care less about his sister’s complaint. He was too busy thinking
about how Jackson Valor would react after he found out that Serenity got hurt.
“Did you run into Serenity yesterday?” their father asked.
“Yeah!” Joy said indignantly, “I have no idea what a sanitation worker like her was doing in a designer
brand store! Also, Zeke wrote her a cheque for $720,000!”
