Obsessive CEO’s Sinful Wife

Chapter 80

When she said “Jackson Valor“, his body stiffened, almost imperceptibly. This is from NôvelDrama.Org.

“Do you hate Jackson Valor?” he asked softly.

She sighed a little. “Maybe. Everyone in Salaria knows who he is. The person who died in the car accident was Jackson Valor’s fiancée, Mira Hall, so naturally, I wouldn’t get off easy. The more people wanted to please him, the more I suffered.”

–

After a pause, she said almost self–deprecatingly, “Sometimes, I do wonder if the person who died in the car accident wasn’t Mira Hall, would I have won the case? Maybe I wouldn’t have to go to prison for three years and go through all that.”

She was not resentful or angry, but her self–deprecation made him feel even tnore guilty.

He was probably responsible for half the pain she suffered.

He crouched down in front of her. Through his heavy bangs, his eyes stared at her fixedly. “If I had known that you would suffer so much. I would have protected you three years ago.”

He was not saying that because of the game. It came straight from his heart.

If, back then, he did not let others do those things to her to please him or if he was willing to give her a fair trial, then… she would not have spent three years in prison and gotten all those injuries.

“I know you would have done that for me. Alright, let’s not talk about that anymore,” Serenity smiled, lifted her hand and rubbed his black hair.

She seemed to be doing that more and more often recently.

Lisa returned after getting the medicine. She told them, “I’ll go get the car from the underground parking lot, Jack, help Serenity to the main entrance and wait for me there.”

“Okay,” answered Jackson.

Lisa left to get the car. Serenity got ready to stand up with Jack’s help, but he lowered his body with his back to her instead.

What are you doing?” asked Serenity.

“I’ll carry you,” he said, “Your foot will still hurt even if you hold onto me when you walk. I’d rather carry you.”

“But…”

“Do you hate getting carried by me?” he asked.

“No,” she denied sharply.

“Then climb on. How long are you going to make me squat for?”

Serenity bit her lip. In the end, she climbed onto Jackson’s back and wrapped her arms around his neck.

She did not notice the slight change in his expression when her hands coiled around his neck. It was akin to leaving his life in

her hands. She could easily choke his throat and threaten his life in this posture.

Under normal circumstances, he would never have allowed anyone to put their hands there.

But if it’s her, then…

There was a touch of tenderness in his eyes that he himself did not seem to notice.

He carried her out of the emergency room towards the hospital’s main entrance,

“Am 1.. heavy?” Serenity bit her lip and asked. She was worried that she might be too heavy of a burden for him.
