Chapter 288 Serenity blushed involuntarily. She tried to look away. But he stopped her by holding her jaw. “You were staring at me intently. Is it because I’m good- looking?” She was at a loss for words. What was she supposed to say? That he’s good-looking? That he’s not good-looking? Neither answer sounded right! Serenity felt her face become hotter. She wanted to avoid his eyes, but it was impossible. The maid who was standing nearby tactfully lowered her head. Although she was not looking at them, she could hear their conversation, and that was enough to shock her. Mr. Valor really was treating Miss Lewis differently from how he treated other women. Could the rumors be true? Would Miss Lewis really become the mistress of the Valor family?
But… wasn’t she a sanitation worker? Would Mr. Valor really marry a woman like her? That night, Serenity lay in bed, unable to sleep. Through the moonlight that slipped through the window, she inspected her bandaged fingers, Jackson had been changing those bandages for her every day. He was far more attentive to her than Zeke Shaw ever was Sometimes, his actions would send her into a trance. If.. If he was not Jackson Valor but someone else, perhaps she would be deeply moved. After all, few women could resist a handsome man who was so attentive to them. But because he was Jackson Valor and she had a deep, lingering fear of him, she would constantly remind herself to stay alert! After her injury healed, she would be able to leave this place. The next day, Serenity wrote a resume and used her phone to search for delivery jobs online. The threshold to be a delivery rider was relatively low, but most of the jobs required a health examination report.

examination report. She seemed to have a special relationship with the hospital. But getting a health examination report would cost money. Her funds kept shrinking, and money appeared more valuable to her with each passing day Two days later, Serenity could finally remove the bandages for good. Faint scars were left on the burned spots. Jackson held her fingers and stared at the scars on her fingertips. “I’ll ask the hospital to prescribe some scar removal medicine. Removing these scars shouldn’t be a problem ” “It’s fine, I don’t care about them,” said Serenity. If these scars were the price she had to pay to keep half of the album, it was aprice she would gladly pay. “You may not care, but I do,” he said softly. The scars on her fingertips reminded him of his mistake. If he had insisted on going with her that day, she would not have injured her hand. “I want you to be safe and healthy. I don’t want to see you get hurt in any way,” he murmured. She suddenly felt the urge to laugh. Not get hurt in any way? She already got hurt in various ways in prison!
