Serenity and Zachary York novel Chapter 1884

Ben greeted Zachary and his wife once more, before finally sitting down next to his beloved wife.

They exchanged a few cold pleasantries until it was time for dinner.

It was because of the arrival of an important guest, the Johnsons were dining in the main house. The dinner was lively and energetic.

The two grannies were particularly happy. Perhaps it was because of their age, they both shared the same mindset of enjoying the scene of their children and grandchildren filling the house.

Later that night, Serenity had just managed to get her nephew to sleep and was feeling drowsy herself.

Hearing the sound of the door, she sat up and saw Zachary enter the room.

“You are not asleep yet.”

Gently, Zachary asked, “I was talking with Ben for quite a while, I thought you were asleep.”

“I was putting Sonny to sleep, and I almost fell asleep too.”

She then asked, “What are those patterns on Laurence’s back? They look like tattoos. Laurence had it done since he was younger, it must have hurt a lot back then.”

After a moment of silence, Zachary answered, “No one would willingly tattoo their own flesh and blood unless they had no other choice.

“Laurence’s background is still a mystery, but it is not that simple. Ben and Jane treat him as if he was their own, but they still sent him away because they could not keep him safe. It was not that they could not protect him, but that the repercussions would be too great for the Johnson couple. Plus, Laurence is too young. They cannot protect him mindlessly, they need to give him a solid foundation while he is still a kid.

“Since Dr. Carden took a liking to Laurence, Jane sent him over to Dr. Carden to let her be both a teacher and a motherly figure to him. The eccentric figures from that group of legendary doctors are rarely heard of nowadays among the younger generations. However, the stories about them are plenty.

“Messing with one person could rile up a whole group. Not many people dare provoke their elders; they are like shadows, appearing and disappearing without a trace.

“Laurence is much safer with them.”

Serenity’s heart was racing as she listened, and she then whispered, “Could someone be trying to hunt down Laurence? He is just a kid who’s barely three.”
