Chapter 116
Jackson hung up the phone as soon as he had finished his sentence.
Master Zack stared at the phone screen silently for a while before giving it back to the nurse beside him.
Was there really no need for him to worry? It would be great if that was true, but sometimes, being uncertain was often the scariest thing. He was reminded of how his own son had once assured him by saying “Dad, I’ll never neglect all my duties to the Valor family just for a woman!”.

As he spoke, he placed the phone and the bag on the nightstand near Serenity. Just as he was about to leave the room, she stopped him hastily and asked, “Umm… who exactly is Jack?
He respectfully replied, “You’ll find out in due time, Miss Lewis. I’m only a secretary, after all.”
