Marriage Resumption (Valeria and Hackett)
Resumption 82

Chapter 82

Valeria scrolled through the contact list for Hackett's number and dialed it, but he did not answer.

She called several times, but that man did not pick up. The rain poured outside.

"What is Hackett doing? Why is he out of contact?" thought Valera.

Valeria's worries surged through her. Although Hackett was a grown man and would not go missing for no reason, it was... certain.

"Mommy, I'm so hungry. Is dinner ready? I'm hungry!"

Alex couldn't take it anymore and ran to the kitchen to urge his mommy.

Only then did Valeria snap out of her thought. "Oh, alright. Why don't you and the bodyguard have dinner at home? Mommy has something to do and will be back soon."

As she brought the dishes to the table, she placed two plates on the dining table. Then, she headed out as she instructed the bodyguard, "Please have dinner with Alex. I have something to deal with outside." The bodyguard did not have any objections. He only said, "It's raining outside. Please be back early."

"Thank you. Please look after my baby for me. Don't let him out of your sight for a second," instructed Valeria again.

The bodyguard nodded. "Don't worry."

"Mommy, where are you going? I want to go too! Don't even think about leaving me at home. I want to go too!" Alex hugged her slender legs like a cute koala.

Valeria squatted helplessly and explained patiently to him, "Mommy has something urgent to do. I'll accompany you when I come back, okay? I'm not going out to have fun."

"Hmph... Alright. I'm starving now and don't have time to go out with you."

Alex snorted and obediently climbed onto the chair by the dining table, preparing to have his meal.

Valeria glanced at the bodyguards in the dining area and was relieved.

Hence, she returned to the bedroom upstairs to change her clothes and left the house with an umbrella. After driving out of Starry Bay, she looked confused. She had no idea where to replace Hackett.

Valeria continued to dial Hackett's number. The call did not get through, no matter how long it rang.

She dialed the James Manor's number. The butler quickly picked up the call and asked anxiously, "Ms. Sharp, is there any news of Mr. Hackett? Have you contacted him?"

From the sound of it, the butler had no clues either.

Valeria answered, "No. You still haven't found him? It's raining so heavily. Where could he have gone?"

"I don't know. I only know Mr. Hackett has been busy all afternoon and made a table of dishes. He said that he was going to pick you up for the birthday dinner. I don't know why I couldn't reach him. It's been almost six hours. I'm really afraid that something has happened to him..." "Don't let your imagination run wild. Nothing will happen to him. He might have been delayed by something at the last minute. I'll go to the company to take a look." That was what Valeria thought. After all, that was Hackett, who was busy every

day. Perhaps he had gone to work?

However, the latter on the other end of the call said. "I've already called the company and said that he is not in the company. I'm really worried Mr. Hackett might have been canele in a car crash. If something happens in such a heavy rain. I'm afraid it'll be difficult for anyone to discover, just like Mr. Baron back then..."

Halfway through his sentence, the butler realized he had said something wrong and stopped abruptly.

There was a lot of information in the butler's words. Could Hacker's father have been involved in a car accident?

However, Valeria had no time to care about this now. She only wanted to replace Hackett as soon as possible. "Don't worry. I'll keep calling him."

After hanging up, Valeria planned to drive the route from here to Starry Bay. If something happened to Hackett's car halfway, she would be able to encounter it.

The phone kept ringing, but no one picked up.

The rain was getting heavier. It was like basins of water were splashed on the windshield of the car. It was almost impossible to see the road outside. Fortunately, the James Manor was in the suburbs. There were not many cars on the road.

Valeria deliberately slowed down. Firstly, it was for the sake of safety. Secondly, it was better to observe if there was a Hackett car by the roadside.

Along the way, there was no one. Who would drive here in this damned weather?

Valeria almost drove to the manor's entrance but did not replace anything unusual along the way. She was getting more and more uncertain.

A man would not disappear like this. It didn't make sense. She couldn't figure it out.

She decided to drive the same route again. Perhaps the rain was too heavy just now, and there were some places that she could not see clearly.

Valeria made a U-turn and drove back on the same road she came. This time, she did not step on the accelerator much, checking the road inch by inch on both sides.

Finally!

Valeria realized that something looked strange. She slowly pulled over the car and carefully observed the tree roadside. It seemed to have been hit. Leaves and branches fell to the ground

Valeria held the umbrella, pushed open the car door, and walked to the roadside.

She walked to the tree and touched the marks on the trunk. It was fresh. It must have been hit today.

Valeria's heart skipped a beat as she thought, "Did he really get into a car accident?"

Looking at the fresh leaves that fell to the ground, she panicked even more.

No matter how much she hated Hackett and resisted remarrying him, she didn't want his life in danger.

Valeria walked into the forest with an umbrella. She wanted to replace the man's car. If she found the car, she would be able to see him.

Although she had already prepared for the worst, which was that something might have really happened to Hackett... Holding the umbrella, she heard a beeping sound above her head as if it was knocking on her heart. Every beat made her 2/3

heart tense.

There was no sign of the car after a long walk into the woods. She used her flashlight to illuminate the road ahead.

The deeper she went, the more terrified she felt. In fact, she was a little afraid of the dark, especially in this empty forest

Just as Valeria was about to retreat and leave, she suddenly felt like she had stepped on something.

She shone her flashlight on the ground and found the shattered headlights on the ground.

It alarmed her!

That meant that the car was nearby!

Valeria shone her flashlight around, looking for Hackett's car.

Finally, she saw a Rolls-Royce on the left, which had already been overturned. It looked tragic, and the headlights and bumpers were scattered all over the ground.

Tears streamed down Valeria's face as she cried and walked over quickly. Her heart was pounding in her chest.

She did not dare to imagine the state of the person in the car at the moment. She did not know how Hackett's condition was... Would he die?

Her emotions suddenly broke down. Looking at the overturned car before her, her footsteps became heavy, and she dared not go over.

However, if Hackett were seriously injured, he would die if not sent to the hospital in time.

Valeria rushed over and shone her flashlight into the car, only to replace no one inside. The car window was open.

"Hackett! Where are you? Hackett!"

Valeria turned around and looked around. She shouted the man's name loudly. The sound of rain hitting the leaves surrounded her, completely burying her voice.
