Chapter 1485

However, they didn't sleep in the same bed. When it was time to go to bed that night, Jackson said, "I'll just sleep on the couch. If I sleep on the bed, I might touch you by accident when I'm sleeping," he said. He was worried that his touch might make her throw up again. So, when Serenity woke up the next morning, she was greeted by the sight of Jackson lying on the couch with his eyes closed, still asleep. She gently climbed out of bed and went over to the couch. Usually, he would be awake by the time she woke up. He rarely overslept. However, it was already 9 am now and he was still asleep. Serenity observed Jackson quietly. He seemed to have lost some weight. Even when he was asleep, he looked tired. There were dark circles under his eyes. Had he not been sleeping well lately? Suddenly, Jackson's brows knitted. His calm sleeping face instantly turned uneasy, and sweat started to seep out of his forehead in large amount. "Never... Never... Definitely not..." he mumbled. "Never what?" Serenity was taken aback. She reached out to touch his cheek without thinking, but the moment her hand came into contact with him, her body instantly tensed up. Why was this happening? She had already decided to let go of the past. She had decided to forget about what he did. Why would her body still react like this?! Serenity could only retract her hand. She shouted at Jackson, "Jack, Jack, wake up!" Jackson seemed to be able to hear her as he immediately opened his eyes. The moment he did, Serenity could see that his eyes were filled with despair. Only when her face was reflected in his eyes that the despair faded away a little. He exhaled in relief. "What's wrong? What did you dream about?" she asked. "Nothing," he said, his eyelashes fluttering slightly as his expression returned to normal. "You look like you just had a nightmare," she said. "Really? I don't remember," he said with a smile, "But even if I did, it's just a dream. I'm going to take a shower. I'm a bit sweaty." Jackson grabbed a change of clothes and went into the bathroom. Warm water splashed onto his body in the shower. Jackson raised his hand and wiped the water off his face. Just now... he lied. He could actually remember everything he dreamed about very vividly. In the dream, his grandfather kept telling him, "Jack, things will not end well between you and Serenity Lewis! If you love a woman too much and put your life in a woman's hands, sooner or later, you'll bring about your own destruction! And the woman is sure to leave you!" Master Zack's voice haunted him. Even after he woke up, his heart was still palpitating. Jackson shook his head hard, telling himself to stop thinking about the dream. He probably had a dream like that because he was worried that Walter, Master Zack's secretary, might be planning something. Serenity already said that she forgave him and she wouldn't leave him!
