First Love Only? I Left Him First, Now the CEO Can't Let Go novel Chapter 342

Chapter 342: Chapter 342: Pinned Down on the Bed

Today, Serena Jennings came to the Lockwood Family’s old mansion again.

Caleb Lockwood still hasn’t woken up.

Although there are no signs of opening his eyes, his fingers keep moving.

Serena’s intuition told her Caleb was trying to grab something.

Only by holding onto something did he feel safe.

Serena hesitated for a moment before extending her hand.

She placed a walnut in Caleb’s palm.

The walnut was hard and a bit prickly; Serena saw Caleb frowning, and his thin lips seemed to be pouting, looking like a child wronged.

Obviously, what he wanted to grab wasn’t a walnut.

Serena burst out laughing.

She never thought she could still laugh at such a moment. 𝑓𝑟𝑒𝘦𝓌𝑒𝑏𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝘭.𝒸𝘰𝑚

But seeing the aggrieved expression on the unconscious Caleb’s face, Serena couldn’t help but laugh.

She found unconscious Caleb much more interesting than when he was awake.

"Caleb Lockwood, if you don’t wake up soon, I’ll keep putting walnuts in your hand daily; soon, your whole hand will be full of walnuts, and you’ll never be able to hold my hand again."

Serena felt her words were a bit childish, but they seemed to have an effect; Caleb’s expression turned into one of great suffering, looking very displeased.

Serena silently observed Caleb for a while, but he remained with his eyes closed.

It seemed as if Caleb’s inner self was resisting waking up.

Because what awaited him awake wasn’t as beautiful as in his dreams.

Serena sighed.

At this moment, the bedroom door was knocked on. Serena thought it was Lance Lockwood, but as she turned around, she saw Arthur Lockwood standing at the door.

"Serena, come out for a moment."

Arthur gestured for her to come over.

Serena followed Arthur into the living room, where a checkbook was placed on the coffee table.

In modern society, checks are mostly used for business transactions.

But this checkbook from Arthur must have another purpose.

And that purpose, Serena had basically guessed it.

"Take a seat!"

Arthur motioned for Serena to sit down.

After Serena sat on the sofa, Arthur bent over and pushed the checkbook toward her.

"Serena, you’ve seen Caleb’s condition. So many days have passed without improvement, and even the doctors are at a loss... I know, you no longer love Caleb. But... after all, you were once married, and Caleb still has deep feelings for you... And although our Lockwood family hasn’t treated you very well, we haven’t done you wrong. So, I’m letting you fill in yourself, as much as you want... I don’t ask you to really remarry Caleb; just tell him you’re willing to remarry him to wake him up."

This was already the greatest concession Arthur could make.

Initially, he wanted Serena to truly remarry Caleb.

On one hand, because Caleb likes Serena.

On the other, there was no more suitable candidate than Serena at the moment.

Now Serena was different; she was a renowned figure in the fashion jewelry world and the head of the Lockwood Group.

Caleb’s remarriage to Serena would mean the Lockwood Group was back in the Lockwood’s hands.

However...

Serena was not agreeing.

Arthur felt Serena was being ungrateful.

But at this moment, they needed Serena’s help.

Caleb was his only heir; he couldn’t stand by and watch Caleb remain in a coma.

So, he took a step back.

"Not just money, any property, company from the Lockwood family you fancy, you can have... I’ve made it clear, you don’t have to really remarry Caleb, just use this remarriage trick to wake him up."

Arthur’s anxiety and unease were palpable to Serena.

It was her first time seeing Arthur so humble, not even needing a real remarriage, just to wake Caleb up, he was willing to pay so much.

As Serena stared at the checkbook in front of her, she picked up the pen.
