Chapter 695
After nearly four years of not touching any professional law books, Serenity thought her knowledge would be very rusty and she might not be able to memorize the legal provisions.
But she quickly found that she could remember them very quickly, just like old times. She browsed through the various cases and absorbed the experiences of her seniors like a sponge.
Perhaps the void of the last four years made her brain eager to fill in these blanks with knowledge.
Serenity went through the thick law books with great fervor.
A new desk had been placed next to Jackson’s desk in the study specifically for Serenity. RêAd lat𝙚St chapters at Novel(D)ra/ma.Org Only
Serenity read the books seriously. Out of habit, she would mark down the parts that she had questions about so that she could look them up later.
Serenity was fully absorbed in the books and did not notice Jackson staring at her from the side.
He had never seen what she looked like when she was a lawyer. Even when she became a prisoner, he did not spare her a glance.
The first time he had truly seen her was when she was in a fluorescent sanitary worker uniform.
He saw her a lot after that, but this was the first time he had seen her fully absorbed in something.
He could imagine how she must have looked like when she was a lawyer, sitting at her desk studying a case with full
concentration.
That’s right, she said she loved being a lawyer.
Her total focus right now proved that she was telling the truth.
At the moment, all she could see were the cases and the legal provisions in front of her…
He could not stop looking at her. She looked even more beautiful than usual. It was not her usual serene beauty, but a persistent kind of beauty.
She was like a blooming wintersweet, standing strong in the winter through the wind and snow.
So this… W the woman he loved? No matter how much pain she had suffered, it could not take away her perseverance and her pa**ion for the job she loved.
Jackson felt as if his heart was being shaken.
He wanted hide her away so that no one else could see the way she looked at the moment.
After Seronity finished perusing the cases, she looked up and found Jackson staring at her. “What’s the matter? Why are you looking e like that?”
“You lo so beautiful when you’re reading seriously,” he said.
Serenity blushed hard. Suddenly, her phone rang. She picked it up and heard a gentle female voice say, “Hello, is this Ms. Serenity Lewis? I’m calling from the SQC Hospital to confirm your appointment with Dr. Fender tomorrow.”
Serenity quickly answered “Yes, I’ll be there tomorrow.”
“Excellent. Thank you for your time, Ms. Lewis. Goodbye,” she said politely.
After Serenity hung up and put away her phone, Jackson asked, “Where are you going tomorrow?”
She bit her lip and told him, “The hospital. I’m having a bit of trouble sleeping lately, so I thought I would go see a doctor.”

In the end, she did not tell him the reason why she was having trouble sleeping the weird dreams for fear that he would think too much.
If it was true that she had amnesia, then those dreams were actually her experiences with Lucas Gomez when she was young. Then… it would mean that Lucas actually had the right person before this!
