Obsessive CEO’s Sinful Wife

Chapter 67

Serenity let out a sigh of relief. “Great, you’re finally awake.”

Jackson sat up. Earlier, he had dreamed of his childhood, kneeling in front of that woman and begging. Why had he had such a dream? Was it because they had talked about that woman earlier?

“I just had a bad dream…” Jackson exhaled a long breath. When he looked down, he found that his pajamas had been unbuttoned, revealing his bare chest. “Why are my clothes…”

Seeing that, Serenity pursed her lips in embarrassment and explained, “Well… You were screaming about the pain, and I was afraid that something was wrong… Uhh… So, I unbuttoned your pajamas and wanted to have a look”

Jackson stared at Serenity in silence, and her face slowly grew hot.

“I swear I didn’t… You woke up before I saw anything. I didn’t see anything.” Serenity was busy explaining, but the more she spoke, the weirder it sounded.

“Even if you did see anything, it’s okay,” Jackson reassured her.

Serenity’s face flushed red. His response made her almost choke on her own saliva. ‘My goodness! Doesn’t he know how someone else can easily misunderstand his words?!”

After a short silence, she stammered, “Does it… Does it still hurt?”

“I’m fine.” Jackson looked down and buttoned up his pajamas.

Serenity struggled to keep her gaze above his neck. However, she suddenly yanked his pajamas open after an accidental glimpse of his chest.

“How did you get this…” Serenity stared at his chest at a loss. There was a scar on his chest near his heart. Although the scar had faded, it looked terrible. She was sure it was definitely not a minor injury.

“It’s just an old small injury,” he said indifferently.

Serenity bit her lower lip slightly. She raised her hand and gently touched his scar. In his sleep earlier, he had kept crying out in pain while scratching at this spot. Was it because of this injury?

After so many years, he still felt the pain in his dream. How could it be just a minor injury?

Was he in great pain when he had gotten this injury? Serenity felt a terrible heartache for the pain he had gone through.

She murmured, “How did you get hurt like that? When did you get hurt?”

Jackson stiffened slightly. How many years had it been? No one had ever touched his scar except the doctor. She was the only one… The only one who had ever touched his scar.

Jackson seemed to feel a rush of blood to his heart, and his heart felt as if it was beating faster than usual.

“A long time ago. It doesn’t hurt anymore,” he said.

Serenity felt slightly relaxed. Only then did she realize that it looked like she was going to do something indecent to him

“G–great! Quickly button up. You’ll catch a cold.” She blushed and moved her hand away quickly.

The warmth of her fingertips suddenly disappeared, making him feel empty.

Jackson buttoned up his pajamas slowly. “By the way, while I was sleeping, did I say anything other than crying out in pain?”

After a short hesitation, she answered frankly, “You just… You loept yelling ‘Mom, don’t po“…”

Jackson froze. He unconsciously clenched his hands into fists and dug his nails into his palmus until it hurt.

Seeing his reaction, Serenity could not help but reach out and touch his cheek. She could feel a slightly cold feeling on her fingertips.

“Jack,” she whispered his name.

Jackson slowly looked up and fluttered his eyelashes slightly. He lifted up his eyes and stared fixedly at her through his bangs.

He had the same look in his eyes as before when he talked about his parents. It seemed empty. For some reason, this made her heart hurt a little.Exclusive content © by Nô(v)el/Dr/ama.Org.
