Chapter 1894


    Erik had told her that Martin was a trustworthy man, and that he truly loved her with all his heart. He


    urged her to stick with him, implying that one day this man might serve as her sharpest sword.


    Had it not been for the secrets she unearthed in the encrypted memos, she would never have known


    the extent of the dangerous web her father had been entangled in. Alone, she was nothing but a sitting


    duck.


    It was like bringing a knife to a gunfight.


    Her father had made her promise to y the fool, to keep mum no matter what, never to reveal the


    truth behind the fire that happened years ago. If she did, she would meet a grim fate before she could


    spread her wings, let alone avenge him.


    Serena etched her father''s words deep into her heart.


    She would grow those wings and wait for the right moment to strike back with vengeance, to thrust the


    de into the heart of the despicable mastermind behind it all!


    Serena was determined to have her revenge!


    And she intended to leave them with nowhere to hide!


    For now, she had to bide her time, to wait and endure.


    "Alright, Serena, no more tears," Martin''s voice was gentle and soothing. "You''ve cried enough."


    "But you haven''t finished the story," Serena nudged him away lightly, gazing into his eyes, "You


    rescued me from the Collins family, but what happened next? How did I wake up? Who saved me?"


    In that basement, she had felt so close to death she even hallucinated seeing her mother, Martha.


    Who had brought her back from the brink?


    Or had the Collins family eventually called a doctor for her?


    Was it Arabe who saved her?


    Deep down, she still held a sliver of hope for the Collins family.


    But after listening to Martin, that faint hope extinguished.


    "It went like this." Martin reluctantly revealed the dire circumstances, including how critical her condition


    had been. He had to unlock Erik''s phone without permission to contact Arabe, begging her to save


    Serena. But Arabe had ultimately refused.


    Serena''s eyes dimmed with despair; she knew it. Why would Arabe care about whether she lived or


    died?


    And Arabe was always so detached, but what about her parents from the Collins family? They didn''t


    care for her either.


    Her heart ached as if it were being sliced open.

    "But I swear I didn''t peek at any other content on your father’s phone," Martin, fearing she would


    misunderstand, raised his hand to swear, "If I did, may I be cursed to never be with you, Serena, in this


    life or the next!"


    Serena knew that for him, that was a truly potent oath.


    "I believe you," She gave him a tender smile.


    Martin was touched by her sincere warmth, a rarity from her. She believed him! She still trusted him!


    "What happened after? How did you manage to save me? If Arabe refused to help, how did you find


    someone else in such a critical situation?"


    "Somebody called me out of the blue, iming they had medicine that could help. They wanted a favor


    in exchange. Don''t worry, it wasn''t anything shady. After you took the medicine, the hospital dered


    you out of danger, and I brought you home. And today, you woke up."


    Martin kept the details about the mysterious caller vague, instead, he cradled her face and said, "This


    estate, it''s called For·ena Vi, and from now on, it''s our home."


    For·ena Vi.


    Serena hadn''t expected him to name it something connected to her.


    "From now on, you rest here and recover. I''ll be with you for the holiday. You''re used to lively


    celebrations, but a quiet one this year might not be so bad," Martin said with a gentle gaze.
