First Love Only? I Left Him First, Now the CEO Can't Let Go novel Chapter 339

Chapter 339: Chapter 339: Still in Love with Caleb Lockwood

Serena Jennings was taken aback and laughed.

"I never knew, Dr. Winters, that you’re so idealistic!"

"This isn’t idealism... it’s having a childlike heart. Didn’t you watch ’Sleeping Beauty’ when you were a kid?"

Listening to Warren Winters speak so assertively, Serena lowered her gaze, her eyes falling on Caleb Lockwood.

Caleb Lockwood was still in a coma, looking truly like Sleeping Beauty, sleeping peacefully.

This face, indeed, had matured much compared to the boy in the juvenile detention center she remembered.

However, the basic features hadn’t changed, and he was easily recognizable.

Serena admitted that she had changed a lot compared to her middle school days.

She could barely recognize herself when looking at old photos.

But even so, Caleb shouldn’t have mistaken Claire Shaw for her.

Staring at Caleb’s sleeping face, Serena felt a flood of mixed emotions.

"Let me go... and let yourself go too..."

Her love with Caleb was destined to be mismatched.

Even when in juvenile detention, their budding feelings were just starting, and Caleb was taken away.

By the time she got her freedom and wanted to contact Caleb, the phone number she cherished had become inactive.

When they met again, she loved him, but he didn’t love her.

After their divorce, he fell in love with her, but she no longer wanted to love him.

Serena sighed and turned to leave.

She wasn’t Caleb’s around-the-clock caretaker.

She only promised Lance Lockwood that she would visit Caleb at the Lockwood family home daily.

Because Lance firmly believed that if Caleb ever woke up, it would be because of Serena.

In other words, as long as Serena visited Caleb every day, he might wake up one day.

In Serena’s memory, Lance had never asked her for anything.

Simply visiting Caleb every day was a small task for her.

But that was all she could do.

As Serena turned to leave, someone suddenly grabbed her hand.

Her heart skipped a beat, and Serena’s eyes widened.

In this room, there was only her... and Caleb.

Turning sharply, Serena looked at Caleb lying on the bed.

"...Don’t leave..."

Caleb was lying there with his eyes closed, his brows furrowed, not looking fully conscious.

"Don’t leave... my wife..." 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝙚𝔀𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝒐𝒎

Serena wanted to shake off Caleb’s hand.

But despite Caleb’s fragile appearance, his grip was strong.

"Are you messing with me, Caleb?"

Serena was frustrated.

She thought Caleb wasn’t really in a coma but was pretending.

Suddenly, she remembered Warren telling her to kiss him, but now she felt she should slap him.

Serena forcefully shook off Caleb’s hand and slapped his face.

Smack!

She didn’t hold back, and the sound of the slap echoed through the room.

Serena assumed that after this, Caleb would surely wake up.

However, Caleb still didn’t open his eyes.

His brows remained tightly furrowed, and he continued muttering.

"Wife... don’t... don’t leave me..."

Caleb’s hand was still moving slightly.

But it seemed he was indeed searching for Serena.

Before she could reach her car, a familiar vehicle approached and stopped in front of her.

A white Lexus—

It was Ethan White’s car.

Ethan was indeed the one who got out.

Despite the usual gentle smile on Ethan’s face, Serena instinctively avoided making eye contact with him.

For some reason, she felt a pang of guilt, as if she’d been caught doing something wrong.

"Why... why are you here?"

"I’m here to see you."

Ethan answered straightforwardly.

Serena thought Ethan probably already knew she had been visiting the Lockwood family home daily to see Caleb.

"Come in my car, I have something to talk to you about."

"...Okay."

Serena did not refuse Ethan and got into his car.

The white Lexus smoothly drove away from the Lockwood family home.

The ride was stable, but the atmosphere inside was heavy.

Ethan said he wanted to talk to Serena, yet after driving a long way, he finally spoke leisurely:

"I heard from Amelia that you’ve been visiting the Lockwood family home daily recently, is something wrong with Caleb?"

His voice was calm when he asked.

While Serena was searching for words, Ethan added:

"Other than something being wrong with Caleb, I can’t think of anything else that would draw you there daily."

"It’s not like that, Ethan..."

Serena attempted to explain but was interrupted by Ethan:

"Serena, do you still love Caleb?"
