StarNovelChapter 378
Jackson knew that she was afraid of the dark. She had the habit of leaving the lights on even when she
slept.
There was a period of time when she was renting her own place. At the time, she could sleep with the
lights off, but she seemed to have reverted to her old habit of sleeping with the lights on.
Jackson frowned at the possibility that she wasn’t in her room.
Just as he was about to turn and leave, he heard a muffled sound coming from within. So she was in
her room the whole time!
He paused in his tracks and reached for the light switch in the dark. The room was engulfed in
brightness the moment the lights were switched on.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtImmediately, he noticed a slender figure curled up in the corner of the room. She buried her face in her
knees, and her shoulders twitched as she sobbed silently.
Was she crying?
Jackson’s eyes narrowed instantly. He approached her and knelt down next to her. “What’s wrong?
What happened?”
His voice made her freeze up momentarily. Then, she slowly lifted her head and looked at him with her
almond eyes. They were red and swollen, indicating that she had been crying for quite a while now.
Tear stains ran down her cheeks, and her expression suggested she was in pain.
His heart throbbed with pain when he saw how fragile and broken she was at that moment. He rarely
saw her cry, but every time she did, he would find himself at a loss for what to do.
“Tell me what happened, please.” It was only after a while that Jackson managed to find his voice.
Serenity sniffled and spoke while choking on her own tears. “I… I wasn’t able to find my mother. I
couldn’t find her… I tried but ”
The moment she mentioned her mother, her tears came gushing out. Following her return, she had
spent days thinking long and hard about where his father had moved her mother’s grave. Was it the
local cemetery? Or was it somewhere out in the woods?
Even if she wanted to investigate the matter, she had no idea where to start.
Despite her repeated phone calls, whether to her father, stepmother, or Aria, they all went unanswered.
What could she do? Pay them fifty million dollars? Even if she sold herself, she was doubtful that she
could fetch that amount.
Then, her gaze Landed on Jackson. It suddenly made sense why her father and stepmother were
asking her to fork out fifty million dollars. While she would never be able to afford that sum, he couldl.

did she mean when she
said she couldn’t find her?
“What on earth is going on?” he asked while wiping her tears away. Serenity reached up and grabbed
his hand. With a look of determination in her eyes, she said, “I need fifty million dollars. If you’re willing
to give me that much… I’ll stay with you! It doesn’t matter how long, I’ll stay by your side. You can do
anything with me! Anything!!
H
As long as she had the fifty million dollars, she’d be able to find where her mother’s grave was!
Her mother was… the only thing that kept her spirit alive. Serenity had lost everything Leaving aside
her future, she had lost even the chance to grieve over her mother’s passing! This was something she
wasar’i prepared to give up.
Jackson’s
‘s expression darkened. Staring unflinchingly at Serenity, he asked, “Do you have any idea what you’re
talking about?”
