Chapter 1478

As Jackson stormed out of the consultation room, he instructed Serenity’s bodyguard, Eva, and the substitute doctor to return to the room. After all, the doctor who was supposed to perform a diagnosis for Serenity had already been knocked out by Lucas’ men. “Are you alright, Mr. Valor?” asked Connor, who immediately noticed Jackson’s foul mood. “It’s nothing,” said Jackson as he struggled to catch his breath. He never thought that until today, he was still deathly afraid that she would say she regretted marrying him. He was afraid that the notion of divorce might enter her mind, even if she never considered it in the beginning. He was afraid that her love for him was not deep enough… As it turned out, he was afraid of more things than he thought! “Have we located Walter’s whereabouts?” asked Jackson as he raised his hand to wipe off the layer of sweat that had formed on his forehead. “Not yet,” replied Connor. Since the old man’s funeral, Walter, who had been working with him, had vanished. Even though Jackson had assigned more men to carry out the search mission, they still came up empty-handed. “Keep looking for him. As long as he hasn’t left Solaria, we’ll turn every stone to make sure he’s found,” said Jackson. There was a gloominess in his eyes when he spoke. Walter was his grandfather’s confidant who had stuck around for many years. He was worried that Walter wouldn’t just stop at revealing the truth behind that incident to Lucas. Otherwise, he wouldn’t vanish into thin air without rhyme or reason. “Understood!” replied Connor. If Grandpa really issued his final instructions to Walter before he died, then more likely than not, the one he wanted to get rid of most was Serenity. In other words, Jackson had to keep Serenity safe! ———— When Serenity left the hospital, Jackson was nowhere to be seen, just like when she arrived at the hospital today. Instead, she bumped into Connor, who came up to her and said smilingly, “Ma’am, Mr. Valor asked me to send you back home today.” “I need to visit Lisa at the hospital first!” said Serenity, who hadn’t met Lisa in a while now. Connor hesitated when he heard that. “What’s the matter? Is my freedom of movement restricted now? Or do you need to ask your boss for further instructions first?” asked Serenity. Could it be that… Jack wanted to restrict her movement to prevent her from leaving him? Connor smiled awkwardly as he responded, “Of course, there’s no problem with you visiting Ms. Quest.” He turned around and proceeded to issue a few instructions. After Serenity got into the car, she realized that they were being escorted by multiple vehicles. From the outsider’s perspective, one might think that some big shot was traveling through town for an important meeting. “I don’t think it’s necessary to have so many people following me,” she couldn’t help but exclaim.
