Chapter 174
"Grandpa, Hackett accompanied us on a camping trip, and he got bitten by a snake. I am really sorry. I did not know there were snakes in that area." Valeria Sharp felt a little guilty. After all, Hackett was Barron's favorite.
"I see. It does not matter. It is nothing for him to suffer with his woman and child."
As long as Hackett could remarry Valeria and bring the child back to the James family, this little injury was nothing.
Valeria was stunned for a few seconds. Barron directly held Alex's hand and said, "Valeria, take care of Hackett. After all, he was injured because of you. I will take care of the child for you. Is this okay?"
Before Valeria could speak, Barron had already pulled Alex away and was about to leave. Valeria had completely forgotten what she was here for.
"Alex, Papi will bring you out to play, okay? Papi has a lot of fun things at home."
"Alright, alright! Papi, let us go now!" Alex was extremely excited when he heard that there was something fun to do. Alex directly held Barron's hand and walked out the door.
Valeria was speechless. This little brat only knew how to play.
Barron left with Alex, leaving Valeria and Hackett looking at each other.
"Let's go. I will get you a wheelchair."
Hackett stood up and said, "No need, I am not that delicate."
After speaking, Hackett intended to walk towards the door, but Valeria grabbed his arm. "Did you not hear what the doctor just said? Valeria scolded. "He told you not to move around too much. Why are you so disobedient?" "Doctors like to intimidate timid people like you. The wound is already been treated. It is not that serious
Hackett strode forward with his long legs. Just as he took a step. Valeria Sharp walked to his side and placed his long armon his shoulders, letting the weight of his body fall on her.Property © NôvelDrama.Org.
"Forget it, I will support you," Valeria said irritably.
Hackett smiled and did not say anything. He leaned against her thin body and walked out step by step.
Grandpa had even done something humane.
Valeria did not send Hackett back to the James Manor. Instead, Valeria brought Hackett back River Valley.
When they returned home and rang the doorbell, Ella ran to open the door. Ella was a little surprised to see them like this.
"What is wrong? Did you not accompany Alex to camp? Why are you back so soon!"
Moreover, Hackett was still leaning on Valeria's body. Their posture was so intimate. Could it be that the two of them had reconciled? "It is a long story. Let us come in first," said Valeria
Valeria was almost exhausted from supporting Hackett beside her. She felt that this bastard was deliberately putting all his

weight on her.
"Oh, alright." Only then did Ella react and quickly made way for them to enter.
Valeria held her breath and helped Hackett into the living room After Hackett was seated on the sofa, Valeria slumped down. beside him, breathing a little heavily, clearly quite exhausted.
Hackett looked at Valeria panting and chuckled. "If you are tired, how are you going to take care of me?"
"Who said I will to take care of you? Now that we are home, just rest properly. When it is time for dinner. Ella will call you to eat. You will not starve," Valeria said, giving him a disdainful look. Valeria then got up, intending to go back to her room for a nap.
Valeria did not sleep well in the tent last night. She had to catch up on her sleep.
Hackett grabbed Valeria's hand. "Did you forget what Grandpa said in the hospital? I was injured because of you. You have an obligation to take care of me."
What do you mean by getting hurt for my sake? It is clearly for your son. Taking a little injury for your son is nothing. You are a man, and men do not complain about pain," Valeria said with a slight smile, using Hackett's own words to leave him speechless. Hackett was left speechless.
Hackett was about to say something when his phone vibrated.
Valeria glanced at Hackett's phone and saw that the caller ID showed "Nancy White"
Was it his first love again?
Hackett glanced at the caller ID on his phone screen and a hint of impatience appeared on his handsome face.
Did this actress have to be so dedicated? Nancy called Hackett every day as if she was really his first love. Did she have to do
this?
Was it not just taking money to do something? Was Finn not paying enough?
Hackett answered the phone with an impatient expression and said, "Can you please say everything at once? Did I not tell you to go find the vice president?"
Valeria was a little stunned by Hackett's tone. Was this the attitude Hackett should have towards his first love?

It was unknown what was said on the other end of the phone, but Hackett's expression changed slightly, and he said serious tone, "Alright, I understand. You can have a seven day leave. Take care of things and come back to work." After saying that, Hackett hung up.
"What is wrong? What happened?"
Valeria really did not want to be curious, but Hackett's change in expression successfully piqued her curiosity. Hackett glanced at Valeria and said, "It was nothing. Nancy's grandmother passed away and asked me for leave." "Are you not going to her grandmother's funeral? People at times like these are usually fragile and could use someone to
lean on."
Valeria understood this feeling all too well. When her mother passed away, not a single relative on her side was willing to step forward, and her despicable father was nowhere to be found Chapter 174
Valeria had no one to tim-except her nominal husband, Hackett. It was Hackett who took care of all the arrangements for her mother's funeral from start to finish
Therefore, during that year's secret marriage, even though Hackett treated her so badly, she was still grateful because Hackett gave
her support when she was at her most difficult and helpless time. Hackett was like the only light in the
darkness.
Hackett snorted, "Right now, I have a professional relationship with her, just a superior and a subordinate. There is no need to be overly friendly."
However, Valeria deliberately picked on him. "Oh? Are you complaining that the progress of reconciliation is too slow? If Nancy were to immediately fall into your arms, would you be like how you handled my mother's funeral and help Nancy settle everything? After saying that, Valeria began to regret talking too much.
Valeria clearly did not want to be like this, but why were her words filled with resentment? She was really like a resentful woman whose husband had cheated on her.
Hackett was stunned for a moment before he chuckled. "Can I take it that you are jealous? Besides, I do not intend to get back together with her. Why are you in a hurry?"
From Valeria's speech just now, it seemed that she was indeed a little anxious.
Valeria's eyes began to evade, "I am not jealous, you are overthinking it. It is just that you are so annoying right now, You are injured, why do you not go find your first love and let her take care of you? It is a good opportunity to build a connection." Upon hearing this, Hackett frowned unhappily. "Is that really what you think?"
Hackett was really unhappy that Valeria always pushed him to other women. Was Valeria so resistant to him?
