“This matter has nothing to do with you, but you’re helping me overturn my conviction. I’m crying, but it’s not because I’m sad. It’s because this matter has been haunting me for too long that I lost control when I realized my dream isn’t all that impossible to achieve,” explained Serenity.
Jackson pursed his lips. Instead of speaking, he merely pulled her into his arms.
She still didn’t know why he had apologized to her just now.
He felt guilty because she had been forced to go through so much due to his indifference and conniving attitude. All he could do was give her a clean slate to start her life anew.
As for the truth that she sought, he had to make sure she never discovered it!
Jackson hugged Serenity in his arms tightly
The next day, Serenity requested a day off from Clara in order to meet her attorney together with Jackson. Because it was her case, she felt especially nervous
What surprised her that day was Jackson’s decision to visit the firm that she used to work at before the incident.
Serenity gave him a surprised look. This.. wasn’t a coincidence, was it?
“I know you used to work here. After the incident, some of your colleagues laughed at you. That’s why I chose this firm today. I’d like to restore the dignity that you lost here. Those who looked down on you, I’ll make sure they never do that again. After today, they’ll accept that you were a victim, not the perpetrator,” said Jackson.

She was still nervous! Despite being told that he had found critical evidence in her favor and that they had grounds to file an appeal, she was still…. Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.
Perhaps it was because this case was extremely important to her.
“I need to go to the bathroom to wash my hands,” she told Jackson. “Give me a minute.”
“Alright,” replied Jackson
Serenity entered the bathroom and rinsed her hands under the sink. There, she stood silently to allow her restless heart to
calm down.
Compared to all those years ago, her hands no longer looked the same. Some of her joints looked odd as her tingers had been broken before. At one point, she was extremely close to losing her hands.
Today, although her hands appeared to have fully healed from House injuries, it was still extremely difficult for her to do tasks that required a little more dexterity. In fact, whenever the weather was cold and wet, her joints would flare up with pain.
Though, because of the medication she had been talong these days, the pain in her joints had gone away significantly to the point she barely felt any pain.
