27 Chapter 27: Shaken Her Resolve to Divorce
Lance Lockwood was trying his best to persuade, but Serena Jennings was hearing none of it.
Everyone wanted her to be considerate of Caleb Lockwood.
She had been considerate!
For three long years.
And in return, Caleb Lockwood had personally forced her to lose their precious first child for the sake of his
beloved.
Serena’s face grew paler, and her heart colder.
Lance Lockwood was the most kind toward her among the Lockwood family, but he was still Caleb’s actual
grandfather, so he naturally spoke in favor of Caleb.
Suddenly, Serena felt isted and helpless.
Lance Lockwood spoke a lot about Caleb’s difficulties, how challenging it was, making Serena’s ears
practically grow calluses.
“Consider it carefully again, give Caleb a chance, also a chance for yourself. But…if you ultimately decide to
divorce Caleb, I will support you.”
“Huh?”
Lance’sst sentence made Serena pause in surprise.
“So, Grandpa, you support my divorce from Caleb?”
Seeing Serena’s eyes widen in astonishment, a kindly smile spread across Lance’s aged face.
“From my standpoint, I certainly don’t wish for you two to divorce, but I won’t impose my will and forcibly tie you down to the Lockwood family,” Lance understood that Serena and Caleb’s divorce wasn’t due to petty
arguments.
Yet, as Caleb’s grandfather, he was obliged to advise.

When Caleb was in a car ident, everyone nearby watched coldly, not even making a call for an ambnce.
Only Serena not only called for an ambnce but when she heard it was stuck in traffic, she personally
carried Caleb and walked to the ambnce location.
When Lance arrived at the hospital, he saw Serena, a young girl, anxiously waiting outside the operating
room, flushed and drenched in sweat, her clothes dirty beyond belief.
It was from then that Lance felt Serena had feelings for Caleb.
After Caleb passed the critical period, he expressed gratitude to Serena. Regardless of her reason for
rescuing Caleb, it was a life–saving favor for the Lockwood family.
However, Serena neither wanted money nor requested anything else.
In today’s materialistic society, Lance found girls like Serena rare.
Not to mentionter, Serena also gave up her studies for Caleb.
“Caleb is lucky to have married you…if one day he loses you, it wouldn’t just be his loss but a loss for the
entire Lockwood family.”
After saying this, Lance entered the inpatient building, leaving Serena alone on the long bench.
If Lance’s words had shaken her determination to divorce, it certainly hadn’t.
But in Serena’s heart, there was a voice of regret:
If only Caleb himself thought the same.
In the end, Lilian Young was cared for by a nurse hired by Caleb, though every day ire woulde to
make tea, water and tell jokes.
“I’m really envious of you, having such a devoted daughter–inw,” the patient in the next room said to Lilian
Young. “I see she feeds you all kinds of supplements daily, must cost quite a bit, huh?”
Lilian Young’s health was actually well restored, but with a nurse and ire taking care of her and
continuous praise from others, she didn’t mind staying in the hospital a little longer.
“Aunt Young, today’s after–meal dessert is nourishing blood bird’s nest,” ire said with a charming smile.

Ever since Lilian Young was hospitalized, supplements were delivered daily, from ginseng soup to royal jelly, all high–end brands from The Wellness Pavilion, each extraordinarily priced.
But the sender left no name or contact, and the delivery person only knew it was for Lilian Young.
Since the first time it was epted by ire, from then on, ire always had the delivery person bring it to the first floor of the inpatient building to personally fetch it.
In the ward, ire snapped a photo of Lilian Young drinking the blood bird’s nest and sent it to Caleb.
At this moment, Caleb was at thepany.
Every day, ire sends him photos of <i>his </i>

In the office, Mr. Miller was organizing files.
He didn’t understand why Caleb’s expression looked so terrifying when he saw his mom recovering well.
“Hello?”
call, jublet
Caleb voluntarily made a phone call.
FY Headquarters.
Serena never dreamt Caleb would voluntarily call her.
She answered, but the receiver was silent.
Finally, she took the initiative to ask, “Caleb Lockwood, what do you want from me?”
Still, no one spoke on the other end.
Just as Serena was about to hang up, she finally heard Caleb’s cold voice.
“Do you know where you fall shortpared to ire?”
Serena’s heart skipped a beat.
Reason told her to hang up immediately, but emotions urged her to keep listening.
She didn’t hang up.

“My mom’s been hospitalized for ten days, ire’s been there daily, and she’s already been fired for it, but
you haven’te even once.”
Serena thought Caleb would say something else.
“When I was hospitalized for a miscarriage, she didn’t even visit me once, did she?”
“Did you need visiting?”
Caleb’s calm retort felt like a knife stabbing Serena’s heart.
That was a miscarriage…
Did he think he knew what a miscarriage felt like?
Serena still remembered during her hospitalization, there was another patient in the next room who also had
a miscarriage.
Her husband would cook personally every day, feeding her brown sugar water by hand.
Serena overheard them nning to have a baby again six monthster, with the husbandforting his wife
that they were still young, and the baby cot already bought would certainly not remain unused.
In fact, when Serena discovered her pregnancy, she had secretly searched for baby cots and baby items on
her phone. Although she didn’t know if it was a boy or girl yet, children’s items were all so cute, she
bookmarked quite a few.
She once thought those things would eventually be used.
But now, she didn’t dare to open that collection even once.
Caleb didn’t expect his casual remark would leave Serena silent for so long.
So long that he wondered if there was a problem with his phone.
Before he could speak again, the busy tone came through the receiver.
It was Serena who had unterally hung up.
Caleb also put down his phone.
Mr. Miller noticed that Caleb’s expression was even more frightening than before.

Another two days passed, and Lilian Young was discharged, with Arthur Lockwood using this as an excuse to
host a party at The Lockwood Estate, inviting titans and celebrities from various social circles, aiming to
reverse recent business setbacks for the Lockwood Group.
Caleb naturally attended, with ire as hispanion.
As Caleb was socializing, Lilian Young pulled ire’s hand to whisper, “If it weren’t for the old man stopping
me, I would’ve had Caleb divorce Serena long ago; Caleb should’ve married you from the start.”
ire smiled shyly, gazing affectionately at Caleb.
Just then, Caleb turned, giving her a slight smile.
“Look, my son never smiled at Serena like that.”
Lilian Young’s words made ire more certain of Caleb’s love for her.
Amidst the clinking sses and lively banter at the party.
Serena took a cab to the estate and was surprised to see the old mansion bustling with people and noise,
momentarily thinking she had arrived at the wrong ce.
