Chapter 474

Valerie had no idea where Ethan had tossed her phone, leaving her unable to call the police or contact anyone.

Valerie was disoriented and stumbling, feeling feverish and unsure of her location. She urgently needed to replace somewhere to borrow a phone and call Matthew.

However, this town was remote and sparsely populated, far from the bustling city. Occasionally, early risers would set up stalls, but when they saw Valerie covered in blood and stumbling, none dared to approach her.

Valerie spotted a passerby and mustered her courage to ask, “Excuse me, could you lend me your phone to make a call?”

As soon as she spoke, the passersby were frightened and avoided her. She begged three people in a row, but they ignored her. Valerie’s heart sank, She glanced down at herself–she was covered in blood. No wonder everyone was afraid to get involved, right?

However, Valerie was completely drained. If she kept going, she’d collapse before anyone could even reach her.

Looking around, she spotted a pharmacy up ahead. Valerie walked in

flicker of hope.

Feeling dizzy from the fever, Valerie entered the pharmacy and hurriedly approached the shop assistant. “Could you help me with some fever medicine! I’ll pay for it, she asked desperately,

She pulled out the money, stained with blood, which startled the shop assistant. As soon as the assistant saw Valerie covered in blood, she panicked and waved her hands, saying. “Please, you need to leave. I can’t sell you any medicine.

The shop assistant was on the verge of calling the police. Valérie took a deep breath, her throat parched. Just as she prepared to speak, footsteps echoed near the door. A man dressed in black happened to enter the shop.

“Have you seen this woman before? The man pulled out a photo and showed it to the shop assistant. The shop assistant found it quite striking. As she pondered. Valerie forced herself to glance at the photo and was immediately shocked–it was her in the picture.

Valerie quickly turned her head to size up the man in black again. He was dressed in a black suit and a windbreaker. I bet he’s sent by Matthew to replace me, she thought to herself

Remembering she had seen someone dressed similarly next to Matthew before. Valerie quickly seized the man’s attention. I’m the one you’re looking for!”

The man gave her a skeptical look, as if he couldn’t quite believe it Valerie swiftly wiped her face and said, “Listen, I’m Valeriet Did Matthew send you!

The man in black seemed momentarily surprised. Then, he glanced at the photo and smiled. That’s right. I’ve finally found you, Miss Warren Hease follow me!

Valerie shook her head. “Hold on. I have a fever. Let me get some medicine first..

The shop assistant stood stunned on the side, feeling like she was watching a drama unfold. She hurriedly fetched the medicine for Valerie. After taking the medicine and a sip of water, Valerie felt relieved

Just as she was about to ask the man in black how he found her, she heard him say, “Miss Warren, let’s get you out of here. Mr. Grant has been desperately searching for you!”

“Matthew is here too she asked, surprised.

The man nodded immediately. “Yes, I’ll take you to see him.

Hearing his words, Valerie relaxed and followed the man to his car. As they seuled in, she asked, “Could you lend me your phone! I need to call Matthew”

ly worried. She needed to let him know she was safe and tell him not to worry.

She had been out of contact for so long. Matthew must be really because she was on her way to see him now.

Valerie had never felt this excited before. She couldn’t wait to see Matthew,

But the man in black paused

But the man in black hesitated, w i puzzled Valerie. “Is something wrong?” s

she asked.

“Of course not, Miss Warren, the man assured her, handing over the phone, Valerie took it and thanked him, but she couldn’t shake a strange feeling. If this person was sent by Matthew, why does he seem a bit odd? a question popped up inside her head.

Her instincts unsettled her, despite the man’s apparent knowledge of Matthew. Just as she was about to fabricate an excuse to exit the car, claiming the needed the restroom, Valerie suddenly felt a sharp pain and blacked out.

Chapter 474

Valerie’s eyes widened in shock the moment she

“Of course! If this isn’t Matthew’s guy, then who is hell Why would he want to capture me!!” Valerie hadn’t expected that after narrowly escaping Ethan, someone would try to capture her again.

Feeling the imminent danger, she pinched her thigh hard, trying to jolt herself awake. But after a day and night of running around and illness, the overwhelming fatigue weighed heavily on her. Unwillingly, she closed her eyes.

Just as she was about to black out, Valerie grabbed a button from the man’s windbreaker and held it tightly in her palm.
