Chapter 248
The phone kept ringing for a long time with no one answering because at that moment, Hackett was in a meeting, and he had put his phone on silent mode.
Seeing this, Valeria looked at her son with helplessness. “Alex, Daddy’s phone isn’t being answered. He’s probably busy with something. How about we try again tomorrow?”
“But the flowers won’t look as nice tomorrow…” Alex appeared a bit disappointed, clutching the large bouquet of flowers in his arms.
“Well, there’s nothing we can do. Daddy’s not answering the phone, and we can’t reach him.”
Valeria wasn’t eager to see that man. She felt a sense of relief in her heart as she didn’t know how to face that man now. In reality, she had wanted to completely sever ties with Hackett, but then Cheryl had intervened, and Hackett had shielded her from the sulfuric acid attack. It left her feeling conflicted. Should she hate the man, or should she treat him like an old friend!
Alex, still holding the bouquet, seemed a bit grumpy but had to compromise. Then alright”
Valeria could tell that the boy was afraid these flowers would wither tomorrow. She smiled and touched her son’s head, saying. “Alex, it’s okay. Mommy has a way to keep these flowers from wilting, okay?”
“Really?”
“Of course. Mommy has never lied to you. It’s still early, so how about we go watch a movie and then go home?” She decided to take her baby boy to the movies. Otherwise, her son would be whining all night.
“Cool!” Alex instantly perked up and successfully diverted his attention.
Valeria smiled, took his little hand, and left the hospital. The two of them arrived at the parking lot, where Valeria placed the fruit basket and the bouquet of flowers in the back seat of the car before securing her son in a child safety seat.
At that moment, her phone rang. Valeria glanced at it and was slightly surprised. It was a call from Hackett. She was conflicted inside her mind about whether to answer or not to answer.
Seeing her not picking up the call, Alex in the bank seat asked, “Mommy, your phone is ringing. Why aren’t you answering? “It’s Daddy calling.” Although she wanted to lie to her baby boy, she decided to tell the truth.
As expected, Alex had a delighted expression. “It’s Daddy! Mommy, answer the phone quickly!”
Valeria swiped the screen of her phone and then handed it to her son. “You answer it. You really miss Daddy, don’t you?” Without hesitation, Alex held the phone and shouted, “Daddy, it’s me.”
On the other end of the call, Hackett heard his adorable son’s voice and instantly melted in his heart. He smiled and said. “Alex, where’s your mommy? Why did you decide to call Daddy
“Daddy, Mommy said you got hurt, so we came to the hospital to see you, but you weren’t here. I even bought flowers and a fruit basket for you. Why aren’t you at the hospital?” Alex had an angry expression.
“Sorry, Daddy has been discharged. Are you still at the hospital?
