Her nose topled. The tears that had only just stopped flowing moments ago began to gush out again.
“If you really want to cry,” he said, his fingertip caressing gently against her eye, ‘then just let it all out, Sis
Him calling her ‘Sis‘ was like a key that unlocked all the pain and misery that had been suppressed and sealed up all this time. Unable to restrain her emotions any longer, she yelped and finally cried her heart out.
How long had been since she last cried her heart out like this? How long had it been since she had to resign herself to the fact that no matter how loudly she cried, no matter how many tears she shed, it would all be useless because she could rely on no one else but herself because her tears were useless?
Yet the moment she heard him call her ‘Sis‘, she thought of her mother, she thought of the baby in her mother’s womb who would have been her little brother, but who never even had the chance to call her ‘Sts‘.

After a long while, Jackson finally raised his stiff arms and cautiously wrapped them around Serenity.
If she had been so depressed and in despair, then she could just let it all out, but… she must only let it all out in front of him. He would never let her show her weak side and cry in front of anyone else.

When they reached Valor Residence, the driver respectfully got out of the car, but Jackson still remained inside and stayed in the same position with Serenity in his arms, letting her cry as much as she wanted.
He was not sure how much time went by when her crying finally subsided. He looked down, only to see that she had cried. herself to sleep Her face was drenched in tears, and her eyes were red and swallen from all the crying. All her ten fingers were wrapped in white gauze. The sight of her looking like this almost made his heart burst with sympathy.

He frowned slightly and then pressed the answer button.
“Hello?” Lisa’s voice spoke up at the other end of the line. “Serenity? Are you there? Why aren’t you home today? Are you working overtime?”
“She’s not staying there right now,” Jackson sald in a lushed voice as he was afraid that he might wake Serenity up. “She’s already asleep, so if you’ve got anything to say to her, just call her tomorrow
