“yeah I hope there will be no more misunderstandings. I’m glad he has found the person he was looking for,” Serenity exclaimed emotionally.
Serenity was glad for Lucas, thinking he probably would not cry again like that night. The memory of Laicas crying in front of her flashed through her mind.
For some reason, Serenity felt a sudden tightness in her chest, and her head seemed to be aching. Serenity stopped in her tracks suddenly, raising her hand to press her temple. Nôvel(D)rama.Org's content.
“What’s wrong?” Jackson asked, worried.
“It’s nothing. I’m just… My head hurts,” Serenity said.
Jackson frowned at her slightly pale face. He suggested, “You don’t look too well. Shall we find a hotel nearby and take a little rest?”
There were only a few small motels in the small town, and there were no decent hotels around.
“No need,” Serenity refused. Her headache seemed momentary, and the pain had faded as she spoke. “It doesn’t hurt anymore. I want to go back and spend more time with Granny.”
After a short silence, she added, “jack, I’m going to stay here for three days and leave after Granny’s funeral. You should go back to Solania first.”

“It doesn’t matter how many days you stay here. I’ll be with you.” Jackson explained, “I don’t feel comfortable leaving you here alone.”
“I’ll be fine. Uncle Francis, Uncle Desmond, and Aunt Theresa are aware of you. They don’t dare to treat me like before” Serenity was sure of it. Not many would dare offend Jackson, not even her relatives, who loved to pick on the weak.

Besides, it was not just her relatives who would make him worry. There was also another person. Jackson’s eyes darkened at the thought.
Serenity and Jackson then returned to the Walker family home to see the townspeople crowding around Lynette, flattering her. Some of her relatives and neighbors hoped to use Lynette’s connections to enter the entertainment industry. It was as expected, and Lynette clearly enjoyed the flattery.
