Valeria held the umbrella and looked sand, showing, hoping eman ond hear her coter.

the felt it as wind

Valeria couldn't figure out what had happened at that time. How old the car toppleit over and the person in it hard disappeared

It made her wonder. Could it be that a kind-hearted perion pating by hard reseted flackett and sent him to the hospital? This seemed to be the most reasonable idea. Otherwise, he couldn't have appeared into thin air, right Thinking of this Valeria nurned around and planned to drive to the hospital to look for him.

Perhaps Hackett was lying in the hospital now. That was why he did not pick up the phone.

"Argh!"

Valeria tripped because she was in a hurry. Fortunately, she held onto a tree in front of her. Otherwise, she would have fallen into the mud.

However, this fall allowed her to spot a figure in the distance in the darkness....

She saw a silhouette of a figure leaning against a large tree in the distance. She shone her flashlight over it and shouted. "Hackett? Is that you?"

Valeria was a little uncertain, but she could not help but want to go over and take a look. She walked over step by step.

When she got closer, she realized that it was really Hackett!

He leaned against the tree trunk, blood flowing from his forehead. His head seemed injured, but his eyes were empty as he looked ahead, as if he had no soul.

"Hackett? What's wrong? Say something. What are you doing here alone? Why didn't you answer the call? Why didn't you call for help when you were in a car accident? What are you doing?"

Valeria flared up. She could not understand what this man was doing.

Everyone was worried about him and looked for him everywhere. In the end, he looked very sober, but he hid there and did not answer the phone.

Hackett was drenched. His short hair was casually lifted by him, making him look wilder, especially in this primitive environment.

The man finally reacted. He glanced at her indifferently and said, "It would be great if I could die."

Valeria could not help but widen her eyes. She almost thought that she had misheard.

Hackett actually said such world-weary words. What was going on? Was there something wrong with his brain? A concussion?

"What are you talking about? It's just an accident. It's good enough as long as you are fine. It's not a big deal. Why do you have to think that way? Why do you have to mention death? Your current status is something that many people can't even dream of. Yet you still want to die!"

Valeria held the umbrella and squatted to help the man block the rain. She looked at the man's pale and handsome face. His

thin lips were pale, and tre-looked lifeless.

Hackett revealed a desperate smile and said slowly, "Do you believe in retribution..."

Retribution?

Valeria was confused as she thought, "Why did he mention this word out of the blue?"

"I don't understand what you mean."

"Do you remember what I did to you four years ago when you wanted to celebrate my birthday?"

The man took the initiative to mention his birthday four years ago. It would have been fine if he hadn't mentioned it. But Valeria's anger flared once he mentioned it. She couldn't help but be angry. However, seeing how miserable Hackett was now, she let it go. Valeria asked, "I remember. Why?"

Hackett sighed and looked into her clear eyes. "I didn't mean to lose my temper at you. It's because my birthday is the anniversary of my father's death."

Death anniversary!

Valeria's eyes were gradually filled with shock. Her father-in-law whom she had never met, had already passed away? She had never met her parents-in-law. She felt that the two elders were very mysterious. She had always heard from her grandfather that they were living overseas. Why was it...

For a moment, Valeria did not know what to say. She could only quietly listen to the man talking about his father.

"My birthday is an inauspicious day. My father was crushed on my birthday. He died instantly. I want to forget the past and celebrate my birthday again, yet I got into a car accident." Hackett sneered. "This might be karma. I'll never celebrate my birthday because I don't deserve it."

Valeria's heart softened. She couldn't help but pat the man's shoulder. "How can you say that? What does this have to do with retribution? It's just a coincidence that your father got into a car accident on your birthday. What does this have to do with you? What does it have to do with retribution?"

The man suddenly became furious. "That's because you don't understand what happened! If it weren't for my father's decision, Abbot wouldn't have died so miserably! His death was retribution. Now it's my turn. The moment I climbed out of the car, I kept thinking why I didn't die. If I died, would everything be over..."

Valeria was stunned, not knowing how to react.

She did not know how to comfort Hackett because everything seemed to look like karma.

"I'll take you to the hospital. Let's get your wound treated first."

Valeria wanted to help the man up, but Hackett pulled her into his arms and hugged her tightly.

The umbrella in her hand fell to the ground. The man forcefully hugged her, making it impossible for her to struggle.

The man's deep voice sounded in her ear. "It's karma that we didn't manage to save our child..."

Valeria froze. Her eyes widened in disbelief.

Hackett had already lost his mind, having such a terrifying thought.

Chapter 83

Alex was alive and well there was no retribnition at all

"Hackett! I'll take you to the hospital. You have lost your mind new. Let's talk about it after we bandage your wound

She did not want to talk too much to Hackett. This man's brain was probably not clear from the impact.

Hackett acted as if he did not hear her and continued, "Valeria, will you be sad if I die..? Please bury me beside our child's grave if I die."

Valeria was speechless.

Hackett had gone insane. Completely insane!

He must have suffered a concussion from the collision and started spouting nonsense.

"Be good and listen to me. Let's go to the hospital now, okay? What kind of retribution is your accident today? It's because of the rain. If it were retribution, you would have died just now. How could you have escaped death?

Valeria broke free from the man's arms and helped the man stand up like she was coaxing a child. She walked towards the roadside outside the forest.

She looked at the wound on Hackett's head. It seemed pretty severe, and he was even drenched in the rain. She was afraid that the wound would be infected, and they had to go to the hospital to treat it quickly.

Hackett did not say anything. Instead, he let her help him out of the forest.

"It's okay. If you're in pain, we'll walk slowly. There's no hurry."

Valeria noticed the man seemed to be limping. Perhaps his leg was injured, too. After all, the car had been knocked over. How could he only have a small wound on his head?

She didn't even have this kind of patience to coax that brat, Alex. Moreover, that brat hated it when she spoke in a childish

tone.

Suddenly, Hackett pulled a long face and said, "Can you not speak to me in such a childish tone?"

Valeria was at a loss for words.

They were indeed father and son. Nei
