Not only did John not show him any sympathy, but he even laughed so hard that he deserved a beating. “My future wife grew up with me. The first person she held hands with was me, the first person she kissed was me, and the first time she bought sanitary pads was also with me. Many of her first times were with me.”

Calvin Gilbert stomped his feet and cursed loudly, threatening to cut ties with him. Meanwhile, Serenity covered her mouth and laughed, still looking gorgeous.

The sound of the door opening pulled Serenity back to the present. She turned around to see that it was Selena who had come with the medicine.

Selena entered the room and placed her purse on the table. She glanced at the man smoking on the balcony through the glass window and walked towards Serenity with the medicine. “Left foot or right?”

Serenity stiffly said, “Right foot.”

Selena was wearing a strapless dress, so it was inconvenient for her to bend over. “Take off your shoes and put your foot up on the sofa.”

Serenity did as she was told. When her swollen foot was finally in plain view, not only Selena, but even Serenity sucked in a breath of cold air. No wonder it hurt so much.

As she applied the medicine on her sister, Selena said, “It looks quite serious. Let’s go to the hospital for a checkup after this.”

John returned to the room after smoking, still smelling of tobacco. He glanced at the red and swollen ankle and pursed his lips tightly.

After Selena applied the ointment for her sister, she went to the bathroom to wash her hands. When she returned, she said, “Serene, have a good rest. John and I will go down first. After the banquet is over, we will send you to the hospital.”

“Alright, Sis, go on ahead, and thank you.” Serenity smiled gratefully at her sister.

John looked at her one last time before walking out the door. Selena followed behind him. But just as she reached the door, Selena turned around and worriedly said, “Stay here obediently and don’t walk around, alright? Your foot is about to turn into pig trotters.”

Serenity pouted and cheekily said, “Enough nagging. I’m not a three-year-old child. i’ll take good care of myself.”

Both of them were taken aback for a moment. But this wasn’t the first time Serenity had spoken in this tone with her sister. Selena had scolded Serenity a few times in the past.

But ever since Selena married John, the sisterhood between the two had become rather faded. They no longer had the intimacy of sleeping in the same bed and eating the same fruit.

Selena knew well that sometimes Serenity would deliberately avoid her, but all she could do was still show her the same care and love as before.

She still remembered the first day Serenity came from Willow Town. She was wearing a cotton dress that had been washed until it had turned white. She stood in the living room cautiously and tugged at the hem of her dress nervously. Her eyes were watery and large like a frightened rabbit.

The night before Serenity arrived at the Rivers residence, Helena Turner had told her that her little sister would be brought back tomorrow. She had suffered a lot, so Selena should treat her better.

Selena was doing her homework when Helena was speaking to her. Since she was stuck on two geometry questions that were giving her a headache, so she perfunctorily said, “She’s my little sister, I’m sure I’ll be good to her.”

When Serenity finally arrived, Selena went up to her and held the frightened Serenity’s hands, saying, “You must be Serenity. I’m your sister, Selena. Welcome home. Finally, I have a playmate.”

At that time, she was already fifteen years old and was thus quite sensible. Calling Serenity her long-awaited playmate was just one of the ways Selena used with the hope of easing Serenity’s nervous anxiety..
