Chapter 1486

Jackson turned off the faucet, put on his bathrobe, stood in front of the mirror at the sink and stared at his own reflection in the mirror. His wet hair was plastered to his face, and water droplets dripped down from it. They looked like tears. "Grandpa, that day will never come. I will not walk down a path of self-destruction, and Serenity will never leave me. We will definitely have a happy ending!" His voice carried a firm determination! Over the next few days, Serenity and Jackson stayed in the mansion. Serenity would video-call Lisa, Clara and Yanny during the day whenever she was free. When Lisa and Clara learned that Serenity and Jackson were back together, they were really happy for Serenity. Clara didn't know the whole story, but Lisa did. She asked Serenity when it was just the two of them, "Have you really gotten over it?" After all, Lisa was involved in Serenity's case from the very beginning, so she knew how much her friend had suffered in prison and how big of an impact the case had in Serenity's life. When Serenity was in prison, she almost killed herself because she couldn't stand the torture. "Yeah, I... I'll try my best," Serenity said. "That's good," Lisa was relieved to hear that, "My parents said they would like to visit you and Jackson to thank you for saving my life! If it weren't for you guys, I would probably have died." "Your parents have already thanked me many times. Besides, if it weren't for you, I wouldn't be alive either," Serenity said. Between friends, there was no need to say too much. They could understand each other's feelings. After agreeing on a time for Lisa's parents' visit, Serenity hung up, just in time to see Jackson walking over. "Lisa said she wants to visit us with her parents tomorrow. Will you be home?" Serenity asked. "Tomorrow?" Jackson frowned slightly and said, "I might not be free tomorrow." "You have something up? Then I'll tell Lisa to come another time." Serenity suddenly thought of something and said to Jackson, "Jack, why don't you reduce the number of bodyguards and security guards in the mansion? I don't need that many people protecting me." It felt like everywhere she went, there would always be a bunch of people following behind her. It was fine if it was just in the house, but when she went outside, even if she was still within the confines of the Valor Residence, there would always be a large group of people following her around. He hesitated and said, "I can't do that." In fact, he was thinking if he should increase the number of guards. "Why do you need so many people to protect me? Do you still think that I might leave you?" she asked. His lips tightened and he fell silent. "You don't trust me?" She glared at him with wide eyes. "You don't trust me when I say that I won't leave you?" "I..." He tensed up slightly as he replied, "I trust you." At the very least, he wanted to believe that she had really gotten over the past and would stay with him forever... even though he still felt uneasy.
