Hackett sat on the sofa opposite and looked at Cheryl on the hospital bed. His memory fell into the bloody scene from

In order to save Hackett, Abbot fell into a pool of blood. He died in such a tragic way. When Hackert arrived, Abbot was already on his last breath

In the pool of his blood, Abbot held Hackett's hands and only begged him for one thing, Abbot said shakily. "Mr. James, please help me take care of my sister...

At the James Manor.

It was already dawn. Valeria got up and changed her clothes. She washed up and planned to leave.

Since Hackett refused to give her the contraceptive pills, she had to go out and buy them herself. She had to take the pills quickly. Otherwise, it would be troublesome if she got pregnant. However, she saCOMMENT

Chapter 72

Hackett was fully dressed when he walked out of the cloakroom a few minutes later.

He put on his coat in a hurry and glared at Valeria fiercely. "Do you dare take the pille Or I won't let you off!"

The bedroom door slammed shut.

The room returned to a cold and cheerless state in an instant.

Sitting on her bed, Valeria pondered the phone call Hackett had just received. She only heard the keywords that one committed suicide by cutting her wrist!

Who on earth committed suicide by cutting her wrist to make Hackett so flustered?

Suddenly, Valeria thought of someone.

Could it be... Cheryl?

Did Cheryl commit suicide by cutting her wrist?

Valeria's face turned slightly pale. The shock was written all over her face, and it took her a long time to recover.

At the hospital.

Hackett arrived at the hospital and went straight to the operating room.

A middle-aged couple was waiting anxiously outside the emergency room. They immediately stood up and walked over to denounce Hackett as soon as they saw him

"Mr. James, why did you break up with Cheryl? Why? Cheryl committed suicide because she couldn't take the blow. When we found her, she had been lying in the bathtub for a long time. She had bled so much... We don't know if she's going to make it..."

The woman was crying hypocritically. The man at the side reprimanded. "What are you talking about' Cheryl will definitely be fine. She's lucky, and nothing can happen to her!"

The couple was Milo and Irina Harper, Cheryl's uncle and aunt. They had benefited from Hackett. They were simply frantic when they knew that Cheryl had been abandoned. "Shut up!"

Hackett let out an

intolerant roar at the couple's argument.

Everything fell silent instantly, leaving only Irina to shed a few false tears aside.

Of course, Milo and Irina didn't want anything to happen to Cheryl. Otherwise, their money tree would be gone, and they would have to worry about their living for the rest of their lives. After an unknown period of time, the door of the operating room slowly opened. The doctor walked out and took off his

mask.

Hackett immediately went forward and asked, "How is she?"

"If she had come a few minutes later, she would have bled to death. She's saved now. She'll be sent to the ward for observation for a few days."

Upon hearing the doctor's words, Hackett heaved a sigh of relief. It was great that she was okay.

Chapter 72

Milo and Irina, Cheryl'euncle and aunt, also breathed a sigh of ghef. Their money tree was finally saved

In the VIP ward.

Cheryl finally woke up an hour later. Her wrist was wrapped in snow-white gauze, and blood was seeping out

Her face was as pale as paper, devoid of life and blood. It was as if she had just died.

4.75%

Cheryl saw the handsome and tall back of the man in front of the floor-to-ceiling window the moment she opened her eyes.

Was it Hackett...

Was she dreaming? Hackett had been hiding from her for the past few days, and she couldn't even enter Hackett's office. Why was he in the hospital? "Hackett... Is that you?" Asked Cheryl.

Cheryl's voice was weak as she struggled to sit up.

She was afraid that she was dreaming.

Hackett turned around and walked toward the bed when he heard Cheryl's voice. He helped her up and placed a pillow behind her.

"It's really you!" said Cheryl.

Cheryl grabbed Hackett's arm. Her eyes were filled with tears. She was not dreaming. It was really Hacken!

"Cheryl, you're being stupid doing so. No man would like a woman who wants to kill herself, Yet Hackett said such hurtful words.

Cheryl looked embarrassed and bit her lower lip, not knowing what to say.

Hackett pulled back his arm and sat down in a nearby chair. Looking straight at Cheryl in the hospital bed, he said in a low voice, "We just broke up. You don't have to seek death. There are many things you can do in your life. You don't have to focus all your energy on me. Can't you live without a man? Are you deliberately trying to make me feel guilty?"

"No! You asked me to divert my attention, but I couldn't. What should I do? You're all I can think about! I've been centered on you. You're my dream. Now that you've suddenly destroyed my dream, how can I accept it?"

Cheryl cried out, aggrieved. She also needed to vent and confide in him.

If she continued holding it in, she would probably go crazy.

She really did not want to give up on Hackett. She had waited for him for so many years and was unwilling to give up. "Then learn to accept the reality," said Hackett. His voice was cold and heartless, not giving her any hope. Cheryl's tears could not help but roll down her cheeks and fall onto the blanket. 'Are you suddenly so heartless because you know about the child?"

It must be because he knew about the child's existence. Otherwise, why would his attitude change so drastically?

Hackett frowned slightly. His dark eyes were full of doubt. "What child?" he asked.

Cheryl was a little stunned. How come Hackett didn't seem to know anything about the child?

"It's the child by Valeria's side. Didn't you break up with me because of the child?"

Chapter 72

Hackett did not have much-of a reaction. His heart was filled with disdain. He thought the child was probably Keith's son again. Cheryl must have misunderstood the child as Valeria's child. "Cheryl, I have nothing to do with you and that child. Besides, that child is not mine."

Cheryl immediately looked confused and muttered in her hear

Since the paternity test results were out, the child must be Hackett's biological son. Could it be that Hackett didn't know about the existence of the child?

The child was simply a trump card. Why didn't Valeria tell Harket?

what

What was Valeria up to? She really couldn't understand whu Valeria was thinking.

Hackett added, "And don't mention that child to me again. He has nothing to do with me."

His tone was filled with disgust as if he really hated the existence of that child. Could it be that he really did not know anything?

"Rest well. I'll come and see you tomorrow. Don't do anything stupid again. I don't like it," Hackett said as he stood up and prepared to leave.

Cheryl quickly lifted the blanket on her body, removed the IV needle from her hand, got off the bed, and hugged Hackett's tall body from behind.

"Hackett, don't go! Please stay with me. I'm scared..."

"What are you scared of?" Hackett stood where he was and said coldly.

Cheryl rolled her eyes and deliberately mentioned her brother. Tve been dreaming about my brother these past few days. I dreamed he was covered in blood and kept shouting for me to save him, but I couldn't do it. I'm scared..." Whenever Abbot was mentioned, Hackett would remain silent. No matter what Cheryl asked, he would agree time without exception.

1. PT. Every

to her.

Cheryl did not know if it would work this time. She was a little nervous.

After all, Hackett's attitude was quite unyielding this time. He fully wanted to cut ties with her.

As expected, Hackett fell silent again. He was silent for a long, long time...

w Tyler guarding outside as soon as she opened the bedroom door.

Like a robot, Tyler blocked her with his right arm. "Ms. Sharp, Mr. James has instructed me not to let you leave until he

returns

"Why? He's not even at home. Why should I wait here for him to come back? We're already divorced

Valeria's anger rose instantly. The scumbag did it on purpose. He didn't let her go out to buy the contraceptive pills.

Tyler still said expressionlessly, "I'm sorry, Ms. Sharp. I was only following the orders. I had no choice"

He only took orders from Hackett, no matter what Hackett ordered.

Tm going out today! I'll see what you can do about me!" said Valeria.

Valeria pushed Tyler's arm away and tried to walk over forcefully. She thought that Tyler would not do anything to her. After all, he was a man. However, she did not expect Tyler to say indifferently, "I'm sorry

"Hey, what are you doing!"

Valeria walked

the elevator and was about to press the button when Tyler suddenly walked over and dragged her back to the bedroom, closing the door again

She looked at the closed bedroom door and laughed in anger.

-Did Tyler have to be so loyal?

She picked up her phone and dialed Hackett's number. After a few rings, the call was picked up. Without waiting for Hackett 10 speak, she scolded, "Be a human! What right do you have to lack me up? Don't I have anything else to do every day? I still have to work to eam money to support myself. Why should you waste my time like this?"

"I'll compensate you with the money you can less. Be good and wait for me at home, said Hackett. His voice from the other

end of the phone was ascalių as water.

He had deep pockets!

"What are you showing off for? I don't need it! Let me out! Don't think that you can stop me from taking the pills like this. Let me tell you, I don't want it even if I'm really pregnant!"

Valeria felt like her lungs were about to explode. Hackett was so bossy and selfish that he only cared about his satisfaction no matter what decisions he had made.

"Then give it a try," said Hackett, then he directly hung up the phone.

Staring at the hung-up phone, Valeria was speechless.

A scumbag

Valeria opened the bedroom door again. Tyler was still guarding outside like a doorman, not allowing her to take a step out

of the room.

Valeria closed the door directly. She slammed it very loudly as if she wanted to shatter the door.

She went back to lie on the bed. The more she thought about it, he angrier she became.

Could it be that the bastard wanted to imprison her for 24 hours After 24 hours, it would be useless even if she took the emergency contraceptive pills.

She timed her period again. It seemed to have just passed and should be a safe period now. Therefore, she wouldn't get pregnant so readily.

Only then did Valeria relax. Hackett's wishful thinking was wrong, Serves him right!

However, she was very bored being locked up here.

Valeria got up and went to the door again. Tyler felt a bit frustrated by her persistence when she opened the door.

"Ms. Sharp, don't waste your energy anymore. You can only wait here obediently for Mr. James to come back..." Before Tyler could finish his words, Valeria asked, "Did Cheryl sit her wrist? Did Hackett go to deal with the matter?" Tyler did not answer. He never asked about Hackett's affairs. Even if he knew, he would not gossip.

"Your silence is your default, Valeria said.

Ms. Sharp, you should stay in the bedroom. You can tell me if you need anything. I'll get the Tyler looked at her and said, kitchen to make you something to eat if you're hungry."

"I need something right now. It's boring for me to be locked up in the bedroom alone. Why don't you chat with me?"

Valeria leaned against the door frame and crossed her arms, looking relaxed.

Thave nothing to talk to you about. Besides, I don't know how to chat with you." Tyler was a man of few words, not the right man to chat with.

"It doesn't matter, said Valeria with a smile. "You only need to answer my questions. I want to know what happened between Hackett and Cheryl. What does Hackett mean by saying that he owes Cheryl his life! Did Cheryl save his life!"

She was indeed a little curious about that. How much debt of gratitude did Hackett willing to abandon his wife and son for Cheryl

Chapter 73

Tyler frowned and said, "It's not Cheryl who saved Mr. James but her brother

"Her brother? What is her brother's relationship with Hackett? A good friend?" Valeria was already making wild guesses in her mind. How did Cheryl's brother save Hackett's life?

Tyler seemed reluctant to mention this matter, but he didn't want Valeria to make wild guesses, so he gave her a simple answer, "Abbot was Mr. James' first bodyguard. He protected Mr James by his side for ten years. They can be considered good friends. Mr. James treated Abbot well, better than us

At least, they could tell that Hackett treated Ablot as his brother in the past.

"Then... how did Abbot save Hackett's life? So much so that Hackett sacrificed his love for it?"

Because Hackett had told her more than once that he didn't love Cheryl, he just wanted to atone for his sins.

Tyler was silent for a few seconds before saying. "Abbot died to save Mr. James. His last words were to ask Mr. James to help him take good care of his sister. He had no parents and only had one sister, so Mr. James only fulfilled his promise."

"He died?" She was really a little shocked. She thought that Abbot had only saved Hackett's life, but she did not expect Abbot to be dead.

Then Valeria nodded in understanding. "I see....

No wonder Hackett spoiled Cheryl so much. He probably felt too guilty.

Tyler couldn't help but say, "Ms. Sharp, actually, Mr. James isn't the scumbag you think he is. He has a strong sense of responsibility. Abbot died too tragically back then, so Mr. James has been brooding over it."
