Marriage Resumption (Valeria and Hackett)
Resumption 85

Chapter 85

Valeria immediately walked over and asked nervously, "Doctor, How is he? Is he alright?"

"He is alright now. The surgeon is sticking his wound. He'll be sent to the ward for 24 hours of observation later. Remember not to let him eat for 24 hours. He can only drink water." The doctor instructed her on postoperative matters. "Alright."

Just as the doctor was about to turn around and leave, he seemed to have thought of something and said, "Oh right, he just finished the surgery. If he wakes up, don't say anything to agitate him in case the wound opens." Valeria nodded. At this moment, the operating theater door opened, and Hackett was pushed out.

She looked at Hackett, who was still under anesthesia. He had an oxygen mask on his face and seemed very weak.

However, seeing that he was out of danger, she felt completely relieved.

An hour had passed.

Hackett was already in his ward, resting.

Valeria sat in front of the bed and looked at the man sleeping. She could not help but recall what Hackett had said in the forest. Something about retribution...

So, everyone in the James family thought her father-in-law died in a car crash because of retribution?

Did this have anything to do with Hackett's indulgence of Cheryl? She didn't think Hackett was usually such a superstitious person...

However, today was Hackett's birthday. Coincidentally, he was also involved in a car crash. It was indeed a little strange. However, she also understood why he was furious on his birthday four years ago.

So there was such a tragic story behind this...

A sound startled Valeria!

The door of the ward was pushed open. Valeria stood up and turned around. She saw Barron walking in with a walking stick. His expression looked worried and anxious. "Hackett! Hackett..."

Barron, who had always known how to speak ill of Hackett, was now in tears. He walked to the bed with the help of his bodyguards.

"Grandpa, the doctor said that he is out of danger. He'll wake up when the effect of the anesthesia dissipates. Don't worry." Valeria also went forward to support Barron.

Barron looked at Valeria and suddenly said, "Are you the one who found Hackett alone?"

"Erm... Yes, I looked around the roadside along the way. In the end, I found traces of scraping on a tree trunk, so I walked into the forest, intending to give it a try. In the end, I really found him, so I sent him to the hospital." Valeria briefly explained the situation at that time. As for what Hackett said about retribution, there was no need to tell Barron so that Barron would not worry more.

Barron held Valeria's hand and said emotionally, "Good child. That master is right. You are Hackett's lucky star. Only you can save him."

"Master? What master?" Valeria was confused. She had no idea what Hackett's grandfather was talking about.

"Nothing. It's nothing. As long as Hackett is fine, everything is fine... It's his birthday again. Is this really a retribution...?"

Barron could not help but mutter to himself,

When Valeria heard the word retribution today, she felt that all the James family people

Especially when the car crash was on Hackett's birthday, it would only confirm the theory of retribution.

However, it made her wonder if it

Valeria pondered deep down about this. After all, she could not explain it clearly.

"Valeria, it must have been a tiring night for

you. Go back and rest. I'll stay here with him. I'll call you when he wakes up."

Barron sat on a chair at the side and prepared to accompany his grandson for the night.

"Grandpa, I can't leave you here. You are an elderly person. How can you stay up late? Let me stay. I'll be fine.." Valeria could not bear to let Barron accompany Hackett for the night. Before she could finish, Barron looked at her eyes. "Hackett's father also died in a car accident on Hackett's birthday."

Suddenly, the entire ward fell silent.

Barron glanced at the bodyguards behind him. The bodyguards tactfully left the ward and closed the door, giving them privacy to talk.

Valeria did not say anything and looked at Barron quietly.

Barron slowly explained, "Hackett's birthday is the James family's taboo day. Grandpa knows that you suffered four years ago. On his birthday, you cried because of his harsh words, but you can't blame him. He had suffered a lot during his birthday." Valeria looked at the man on the bed, saying nothing. He was still in a deep sleep, as if he had been under too much pressure.

"Valeria, do you know how I felt at that time? I have to witness my son's death. I couldn't even see his corpse. He was already flattened because of the crash. This feeling..." As he spoke, Barron began to cry. His voice was choked with sobs.

An old man sobbed as he spoke about his son's tragic death. It was really unbearable to listen.

"Grandpa..." Valeria did not know what to say. She choked on her words.

Barron continued, "Hackett's father was the pride of my life, but he died before an old man like me died. How can I accept this? Moreover, I can't even bury him in a whole piece!"

Barron covered his grandson on the hospital bed with the quilt. Ever since then, his mother went crazy and was sent to a sanatorium. I've been announcing to the public that my son and daughter-in-law have settled overseas all these years. Actually... Sigh." "Grandfather, I understand your painstaking efforts..."

"You don't understand. All I want to do now is to protect Hackett I only want to protect the bloodline for the James family. Hackett is the James family's only heir, but Hackett doesn't even have a child. If he dies accidentally one day, the James

family will have no descendants..."

Barron became more and more agitated as he spoke. He stabbed the floor with his walking stick.

Valeria's tears flowed down slowly. She cried and said, "Grandpa, that won't happen. Don't think that way. Nothing will happen to Hackett. Look, isn't he fine today? He is lucky. I saw the scene of the car being overturned today. It was very tragic. I thought he... But I found Hackett. He's fine! He's fine!"

"That's because you are protecting him. If someone else were to look for him today, they might have found his corpse." Barron sighed.

"No. That won't happen..." Valeria's voice sounded uncertain. After all, she was not sure if anyone else would replace him.

It was raining heavily at that time. If one had not carefully observed the tree by the roadside, one might not have thought the car would drive into the forest.

If they did not enter the forest and only searched along the way, they would definitely not be able to replace Hackett, especially in the turbulent rain.

Barron looked up at her. "Valeria, don't leave Hackett, okay? He needs you. I'll feel much more at ease with you by his side."

"Grandpa, I
