My Husband, Warm The Bed novel Chapter 851

"What happened between you and Jackie?" Nathaniel Cooper did not know what Serene Silas was worried about, so he repeated the question.

Serene said, "I..."

She looked at Nathaniel and felt puzzled. She didn't know if Nathaniel knew that she had been imprisoned and even raped while held in captivity.

Serene hoped that no one would know about this unspeakable thing, but she knew that would be impossible.

There were so many people under Nathaniel's command, hence she believed that the news would get to him eventually. Naturally, Jackie would know about it too.

She didn't care what others think. The only thing she cared about was how Jackie would think of her if he knew about it.

Nathaniel sighed and said, "Serene, I'm afraid that both of us can't even imagine what Jackie has suffered this past year. If he does something unfathomable, let's refrain our judgments and not blame him."

"How could I blame him? I'm just..." She blamed herself for being unable to protect herself and present her best self to Jackie.

Nathaniel continued, "We are the only family Jackie has in this world. If we don't help him get rid of the trauma in his heart, who can he count on?"

Serene took some time to digest his words, and she may have understood his implied meaning. "Nathaniel, what's happened to Jackie? What did he go through? Since he didn't find us this year, he must have his reasons."

"You don't know?" Nathaniel asked. As soon as he asked, he soon figured out the key to the problem.

Serene hid away and didn't want to see Jackie because she didn't know of Jackie's real identity, not because something happened between them.

"Nathaniel, what on earth has Jackie been through? Please tell me, okay?" Thinking of the suffering Jackie had gone through, Serene was blaming herself so much that she really felt like stabbing herself with a knife.

"A year ago, Jackie was seriously injured... But fortunately, he was lucky enough to have come back alive." Nathaniel said lightly so Serene could remain calm.

After all, those things were in the past. Jackie was alive now, hence they should move on instead of dwelling in the past.

Even if Jackie had changed his face, he was still their Jackie, a person who was closer to them than their real family.

"He must be very sad." Serene had a hunch that he was injured and was in hiding, but it was still painful to hear his explanation. Serene's heart ached so much she could barely breathe.

"He is fine, and you don't have to worry. Take some time to think thoroughly, then maybe you can see him after." Nathaniel hoped that Serene could be braver. "After such a long period of time, the person he wants to see the most must be you."

"I want to see him!" She could disregard the fact that she couldn't present her best self to him as she was desperate to see him.

She wanted to see with her own eyes that Jackie was still alive. She needed to know that he returned to their side.

"Serene, I'm not forcing you to do what you don't want to do. You don't have to make a decision so soon." If Jackie didn't see Serene, he might be suspicious again. But Nathaniel would find a way to explain to him anyway, so he still hoped that Serene could calm down and think about her next move. He was willing to respect her decision.
