15 Chapter 15: Serving Him
Serena Jennings didn’t expect to stay in the hospital for five days.
During that time, the police came to make a record and investigate. Because the juvenile detention center
housed minors and Serena wasn’t substantially harmed, Sean Sanders and the others merely had their
detention extended. 1
In these five days, Caleb Lockwood never showed up.
This was within Serena’s expectations. When she had a miscarriage before, Caleb also didn’t visit her.
Not only did he note, but he also went sea fishing with ire Shaw on vacation.
Serena blew on the warm water in her cup, took a sip, and felt an unbearable bitterness in her mouth.
Mr. Miller, as usual, brought her Caleb’s constion gift-
A bunch of pink roses.
When she was hospitalized due to the miscarriage, she had also received them; back then, she couldn’t bear
to throw them away.
“Lana, do me a favor.”
“Just say it.” Lana Xavier walked over.
“Help me throw this bunch of flowers into the trash can.” Serena handed the flowers to Lana without
reluctance. 1

“I’ve been waiting for you to say that!” Lana hugged therge bundle of fresh flowers and walked out of the
ward without a second thought.
Lana knew well about Serena’s pollen allergy, but she also knew that Serena was crazy about Caleb
Lockwood. If it was sent by Caleb, even manure would be dly epted.
Without flowers in the room, fresh air started to flow again.
It’s just a pity the peaceful hospital life was still disrupted.
15 Chapter 15: Serving Him
Caleb Lockwood came-
He brought ire Shaw along. 1
As ire Shaw passed through the corridor, she saw the pink rose bouquet stuffed in the trash can with a
slight turn of her head.
With packaging and flowers like these, it’s obvious Caleb Lockwood had someone send them.
ire Shaw stopped and looked regretful, “Such beautiful flowers, throwing them away like this is too
wasteful!”
Only after hearing ire’s words did Caleb notice the discarded flowers.
When he sent flowers to ire, whether the variety or packaging, he personally selected them.
Yet the ones he sent to Serena, he entrusted to Mr. Miller.
However, Mr. Miller had been with him for a long time and knew his preferences and tastes, so Caleb
immediately recognized the bouquet in the trash was sent to Serena, as he had directed Mr. Miller.
Caleb said nothing, though his deep ey
seemed to darken further, like ink.
He walked ahead of ire, and as he entered the ward, he saw Justin Nash, sitting beside Serena’s bed,
peeling an apple.
Justin’s hands were skillful, shaping the apple into a small rabbit. Upon seeing Caleb enter, he immediately
used a fruit fork to feed a piece to Serena.
Actually, before Caleb arrived, Serena had been eating apples on her own, not having Justin feed her.
Serena opened her mouth and took a bite of the apple, its taste a blend of sweet and sour.
“Is your injury on your hand?” Caleb asked coldly.
Serena shook her head, “No.”
“Then why aren’t you eating by yourself?”
Caleb’s questioning suddenly made the temperature in the room drop several degrees.
Justin originally intended to retort Caleb but saw Serena waving her hand.

“I now feel like being pampered just like you,” Serena looked at Caleb, her gaze showing no hints of weakness.
Caleb remained silent for a moment, a smile tugged at his lips.
Serena had to admit, Caleb’s appearance was indeed striking, especially his faintly smiling lips, carrying a
natural allure.
“Are you reminding me not to forget your years of hard work and dedication?”
Serena didn’t mean that, but she was toozy to correct Caleb’s misunderstanding of her.
At this point, ire chimed in, “Caleb works hard, earns money, and supports the family. As a wife, shouldn’t
one serve him devotedly?” 1
Serena looked at ire, grinning and showing her teeth, “That’s how you understand him, yet he doesn’t
even give you a chance to serve him. You’re truly pitiful.”
ire’s face suddenly turned beet red, and Justin standing beside couldn’t help but chuckle.
“Mr. Nash, I have something to say to my wife, could you, as an outsider, please leave.”
Driven out by Caleb, Justin was hesitant but had to leave due to his status as an outsider.
Serena noticed that although Caleb asked outsiders to leave, he hadn’t driven ire out.
In the room were only Serena, Caleb, and ire.
“I’ve resigned your job from the juvenile detention center.“”
Caleb spoke confidently, and Serena’s eyes widened.
“On what grounds?!”
“Based on the fact that I’m your legal husband.”
Caleb’s words left Serena momentarily speechless.
“You’ve only been working for a few days and already stirred up the police and hospitals everywhere you go. You’re not suited for public appearance; being a housewife suits you better. I won’t let you suffer…”
“Caleb Lockwood, I’ve already requested a divorce from you.” Serena interrupted Caleb through gritted teeth.
15 Chapter 15: Serving Him
“But I haven’t agreed.” Caleb’s response was firm and resolute.
Standing aside, ire squeezed several creases into her pink dress.
This conversation ended in another stalemate; Serena felt as if she had thrown a punch with all her might but
Before leaving, Caleb even told her that if she didn’t like pink roses, she could tell him in advance, and he
would have Mr. Miller send different flowers next time.
As they exited the hospital building, ire saw Caleb pull out a cigarette and light it.
Inside the ward, smoking wasn’t allowed, so Caleb had held back until now.
ire knew that Caleb wasn’t much of a smoker, only craving it when he was troubled.
Several times, ire wanted to ask Caleb why he wouldn’t agree to divorce Serena.
But words that reached her lips were swallowed back.
She believed Caleb still liked her deeply.
However, Caleb was intensely vengeful and rational.
ire couldn’t help but regret that if she hadn’t impulsively gone abroad and posted those moments on
social media to provoke Caleb, he probably wouldn’t have married Serena, and now he wouldn’t be refusing a
divorce.
The doctor initially suggested Serena stay a few more days, but she hurried to discharge and found that her
hospital fees had already been paid.
In front of the King Detective Agency, Serena checked the address and name, ensuring she hadn’t mistaken
the ce.
Lana was working, and Serena was embarrassed to have her keep taking time off to apany her, while Justin, upon hearing she had quit her job at the juvenile detention center, had also resigned.
So apanying her today was Justin.
Online, this detective agency was praised for its strong capability in catching infidelity, albeit at a hefty price.

15 Chapter 15: Serving Him
Serena opted for the most expensive package, costing ten thousand, though Justin initially wanted to cover
the expenses for her. Knowing Serena had been a housewife without an ie since marriage, rather than
spending Caleb’s money, it was better spent on his.
But Serena herself swiped her phone, and from her expression, she wasn’t spending the Lockwood family’s
money.
Justin felt somewhat curious but refrained from asking. Since Serena hadn’t brought it up, it wasn’t his ce
to inquire.
After leaving the detective agency, Serena felt slightly relieved.
“Come on, what do you want to eat? I’ll treat you to dinner.”
Upon hearing Justin say this, Serena shook her head, “You’ve apanied me deliberately today, so I should
certainly be the one treating you.”
“No no, that Japanese mealst time was supposed to be on me, I then realizedter, and I must make
up for
it.”
Serena couldn’t help butugh, feeling Justin’s reaction time was extraordinarily slow.
As the two were searching for a restaurant on the street, Serena’s phone suddenly rang.
