Chapter 152
Hackett might have slept peaceffilly that night and had a very, very long dream.
In his dream, he returned to four years ago. Valeria told him that she was pregnant and took out the positive pregnancy test
kit.
This time, he firmly believed it and accompanied Valeria to the hospital for a prenatal checkup.
He had just dreamed of accompanying Valeria to do an ultrasound when he suddenly woke up.
In his daze, he felt a small hand touching his face.
Hackett frowned slightly and slowly opened his eyes. The first thing he saw was Alex’s little face looking at him like a curious baby. His little hand was still poking around.
After seeing him open his eyes, Alex was obviously shocked. “Valeria, Hackett is awake!”
Then, Hackett saw Valeria walking over with a serious expression. “You’re finally awake? You had a fever in the middle of the night last night. You scared us to death. We wanted to send you to the hospital, but we couldn’t wake you up. We could only lower your temperature physically.”
Only then did Hackett realize that there was an ice towel on his forehead. Was the little guy in front of him poking his face to see if his fever had subsided?
He wanted to open his mouth to speak, but he realized that his throat was dry and hoarse. It was difficult for him to speak
“You want some water, right?”
Valeria looked at Alex. “Alex, can you pour a glass of water for Hackett? He’s sick now and can’t move.”
“Okay!”
Alex climbed out of bed and ran out of the bedroom with his short legs.
Valeria walked over and removed the ice towel from Hackett’s forehead. She touched his forehead and sighed in relief. “Fortunately, your body temperature has finally dropped a little Get up and take the fever medicine.”
As she spoke, she helped the man sit up with difficulty and lean against the head of the bed.
Being taken care of like this, Hackett felt the depths of his heart soften as he glanced at Valeria.
At this moment, Alex walked into the bedroom with a glass of water. He said in a cute voice, “Valeria, the water is here.” “Thank you, baby. You’re such a good boy. Valeria took the glass of water and did not forget to praise Alex Hackett could not help but smile when he saw how sensible Alex was.
Last night, before he fell asleep, he felt very happy to see his wife and child sleeping in front of him. However, the scene now made him even happier. He was so happy that he wanted to freeze this moment at all costs,
“Here, hurry up and take the fever medicine. If the temperature doesn’t drop, we can only go to the hospital,* Valeria handed him the pills and water
Hackett swallowed the pills in one go and drank more than half of the water.
Alex watched from the side and asked in a childish voice, “Valeria, will Hackett die if he gets sick?”

Chapter 152
The corner of Hackett’s–mouth could not help but twitch. Was this brat hoping for him to die early!
Valeria could not help but laugh. It’s just a fever. How can he die Just like the last time you went to the hospital for an IV drip, he won’t die.”
“Oh, oh… That hurts. The IV drip hurts: Alex looked at Hackett Are you afraid?”
The man smiled and stroked his head. “No.”
“Hackett, you’re very brave. The last time I got an IV drip, the nurse’s acupuncture was so painful that I cried.”
“You cried!” Hackett laughed.
“Yes!” Alex said seriously. “That nurse pricked my hand until it bled. It hurt so much.”
The corners of Hackett’s mouth curled into a smile as he patiently listened to his son recount his experience in the hospital.
“Let Alex accompany you while I make some soup. You probably don’t have much of an appetite, but you should still have a few sips of soup.” Valeria stood up and was about to leave.
Hackett could not help but ask. “You don’t have to go to law office today?”
“It’s my day off. With that, Valeria walked out of the bedroom.
Moreover, she had moved out of Starry Bay. If she went to the law office, she would be surrounded by Keith again. She really did not know how to face it and could escape for the time being
Alex went to get his picture book and said, “Hackett, can I tell you a story?”
“Yeah.”
Then, the kid started to tell a story using the picture book. Hackett did not know what Alex was saying, but he still listened attentively.
Hackett felt that he seemed to be addicted to this gentle place. With his woman and child accompanying him, he did not want to go anywhere else.
After an hour or so.
Valeria walked into the bedroom and called them to eat.
“Alex, go have breakfast. Hackett, how are you? Can you move? Do you want me to bring your food in for you?” Valeria was rarely so gentle.
This was because she felt that Hackett’s fever had something to do with her. Last night, she and Alex snatched all the blankets away. Hackett almost did not cover himself with the blanket the entire night, so he caught a cold and had a fever
Hackett was not used to her gentleness.
“I’ll eat in the dining room.”
Hackett lifted the blanket on his body, got up, and walked out of the bedroom.
Hence, the three of them sat at the dining table and prepared to eat. The scene looked like a family of three.
Valeria scooped a small bowl of soup for Alex. “Eat quickly.”
Then, she scooped a bowl of soup for the man and placed it in front of him. She said, “If you have an appetite, eat more. If you don’t, eat less.”

Hackett narrowed his eyes and observed Valeria’s expression.
Valeria felt uncomfortable being stared at. “What? Why are you staring at me? Is there something on my face?”
