Had Serenity been disfigured by the fire, it would have saved her a lot of work. At the very least, she

What a pity!
Serenity had no idea how she got downstairs. All she felt was that each step she took seemed to be

narrowed instantly, focusing on Serenity’s hands. He then quickly ordered the driver to change direction
and drove toward the hospital instead.
“Tell me,” he said, “what happened exactly?”
But Serenity would not answer him, and she just held onto the photo album even more lightly.
He felt a surging pain in his chest that he could not quite understand. If he had known that this would

Once they reached the hospital entrance, Jackson canted Serenity out of the car and hurried to the
emergency room.
