Clara asked, "What's wrong? You ate so little. Is today's food not to your liking?" The restaurant would usually ask the chefs to cook something for the restaurant staff during off-peak hours and they would have lunch together."Oh, that's not it. I probably ate too much before I came to work this morning so I'm not that hungry." Serenity looked at Yanny and said, "Don't mind me. I'll feed Yanny some fruit."Serenity grabbed an apple, peeled it, and cut it into small pieces to feed Yanny.Yanny obediently opened his mouth and ate the apple one piece at a time. He occasionally gave Serenity a smile.After eating the apple, he felt sleepy and yawned. He spread his hands, asking for a hug.Serenity picked him up and gently lulled him to sleep.Although he could not actually hear her soft hum, he gently touched her lips with his tender fingers, as if he was trying hard to sense her voice.After a while, he fell asleep. Looking at the sleeping baby, Serenity's nose tingled. He was su

The one who provided the answer was naturally Liliana. Liliana deliberately raised her voice and told the story of how Serenity went to jail for drunk driving and killing someone...Serenity shrugged. Liliana must be trying to humiliate Serenity because Serenity used to be better than Liliana in everything back when Serenity was a lawyer. As expected, you can only see the true nature of people around you when you're down on your luck.When Serenity reached the elevator, she heard a sudden rush of footsteps behind her. A voice called out to her, "Serenity, wait!"Serenity turned around and saw a man running over. He stopped in front of her and stared at her with complicated eyes.He was a man in his 30s with medium build and a decent-looking face. He was in a suit and was dressed the way an elite white collar worker in the city would normally dress."Can I help you?" Serenity asked her former co-worker, James Holt. He used to be her partner in the firm. There were rumors that he

But seeing how happy Clara was, Serenity could only sigh and put the takeouts on the electric scooter.She could only tell herself that, with more takeouts sold, Clara would be able to earn more and would be able to give Yanny a cochlear implant sooner.Serenity's heart ached for Yanny. It was so unfortunate that a lovely child would have such a disability. Moreover, Serenity had never seen his father being around.Yanny's family name was Wells like Clara, so Serenity could tell that Clara must be a single mother.Being a single mother was not easy.Serenity rode the electric scooter to the Valor Group. The security guards there were already very familiar with Serenity. The moment Serenity arrived, they immediately helped her move all the food onto the trolley and even helped her push the trolley into the building all the way to the elevator. They were even thoughtful enough to help her press the elevator button.The receptionist also greeted Serenity with a smile. She even bowed

"Thanks," Serenity took the book and said."I'm the one who should be thanking you," said Clara, "Yanny doesn't communicate much with strangers. Because he can't hear or speak, people are also reluctant to communicate with him. I'm so glad you're willing to learn sign language to communicate with him.""Yanny is very lovable. He also seems to like me a lot. Maybe we're fated to be friends," said Serenity.Fate... Clara looked like she was going to say something, but in the end, she simply said, "Yeah... maybe it's fate.""I'll see you tomorrow then, Clara," said Serenity."Yeah, see you tomorrow." Clara waited for Serenity to leave before she locked the door and went to the small residence at the back of the restaurant. Her son was lying on the bed and had already fallen asleep. Mrs. Wells was gently patting the baby's back."Is he asleep?" Clara asked softly. Even though she knew her son could not actually hear her, she still lowered her voice subconsciously."Yeah, he just fel

Didn't she choose to study law in order to uphold justice? But now, she could not even uphold justice for herself."A wise decision," the man laughed and said.Serenity's hands clenched into fists. So this is what it felt like to be powerless!The closer the dagger moved towards her face, the harder she trembled. She abruptly ducked under the man's arm and dashed towards the door of the ward.When she opened the door, she was grabbed and held down by the two bodyguards who were guarding the door.The man walked up to Serenity and mocked, "I thought you had guts, but it turns out you were just waiting for an opportunity to run away. But, like you said, you can't escape."Yes, she could not escape, but even if she was just a lamb waiting for slaughter, she wanted to give herself a chance to fight back.Serenity was dragged back into the ward once more. When the dagger was going to cut her face for real this time, the door was suddenly kicked open.A figure walked in and went stra
