Marriage Resumption (Valeria and Hackett) novel Chapter 408

Chapter 408 

Tyler looked at Alex, who was smashing the koi fish in the lake with stones. He acted like a brat, but it was more like he was trying to attract the attention of adults. 

Tyler had been guarding the unconscious Mr. James in the hospital for the past few days and had almost forgotten about this little guy. 

He walked to the lake and looked at the angry little guy. He asked, “Don’t the fish hurt when you hit them with stones?” 

Alex looked back at him and grunted. “They’ll move away if it hurts.” 

“You want to see your mommy, right?” 

“Hmph! Mommy and Daddy are both bad people. They haven’t come to see me for a few days. They locked me up here and left me alone. They’re all bad people!” 

It seemed that Alex was truly angry. Tyler squatted down and adjusted the little guy’s shoulders so that he could look straight 

at him. 

“Listen to me. Your mommy and daddy didn’t mean to not come and see you. Something really big has happened these past few days. They can’t come. Do you understand?” 

Tyler’s expression was extremely serious as if this kid could really understand his words. 

What happened?” Alex asked. 

“It’s not the right time to tell you now. In a few days, your father will come to see you. Moreover, the manor is so big. It has everything here. You can play with whatever you want. If you have any requests, tell Ernest, okay?” 

“You adults are always like this. You’re all lying to me! Hmph!” 

Alex shook off Tyler’s hand and ran towards Ernest. 

Tyler was a little helpless, but he couldn’t tell the child that Mr. James had been hospitalized and was unconscious. 

He instructed Ernest, “Keep an eye on Mr. Alex and make sure he eats and sleeps appropriately.” 

“Will do.” 

At the Mystic Lake Villa. 

A bodyguard brought over a detailed document. “Boss, we found the woman who followed you previously. She also stayed in Emmerick for four years. Additionally, she stayed at the Keystonia Medical College as well in the past. She seems to know Valeria.” 

Simon took a look at the document. The woman’s name was recorded as Tia Walker. She was unemployed in Emmerick, but she had a lot of assets under her name. 

“This woman knows Valeria? 

“That would explain why this woman was following me. Did Valeria give her the order?” 

Though he still couldn’t figure out what was going on, Simon ordered, “Keep following this woman’s track. Find out what 

she’s up 

“Yes!” 

to.”

Simon asked again, “Where’s my son? Is he still in the manor of the James family?” 

So far, Simon still believed Valeria’s baby was his. 

The bodyguard replied, “Yes, he hasn’t come out at all. Strangely Hackett and Valeria seem to have disappeared as well. They haven’t been seen for a few days. I instructed someone to ask around, Hackett didn’t show up at his company either.” 

The two of them disappeared at the same time? But the child was left in the James family. 

This inevitably aroused Simon’s curiosity, but he didn’t pay much attention to it. He just wanted to take the child. 

“Come up with a reasonable plan to take the child out of the James family as soon as possible. 

“We’re working on it. Please rest assured. The bodyguard nodded. 

At the same time. 

Tia hid in a small, run–down hotel as if she was a refugee just to escape from the people in pursuit of her. 

She couldn’t help but think of the image of Hackett covered in blood. 

She didn’t know if that man was dead or alive. She knew that she had hit him very hard. It was a violent impact that humans couldn’t bear. 

She hid in this lousy hotel for a few days and did not dare to go out. Her car had long been abandoned in the suburbs. Suddenly, her phone rang. Tia took a look and saw that it was from her mother from Emmerick. 

She picked up the phone, and her mother’s voice came from the other end. “Tia, when are you coming back? For the past few days, there have been some strange people asking the neighbors about your private life. They almost found out that you have a daughter. I happened to pass by and stop the neighbors from revealing the truth. I was afraid that these people were from the Lawrence family and wanted to take the child away.” 

Tia’s eyebrows twitched. It must be Simon’s men investigating. 

She did not expect it to happen so fast. 

She had to get Simon to take Valeria and her child away as soon as possible. Otherwise, he would find out about the existence of her child sooner or later. 

“Mom, take Abby to stay in another house for a few days. I’ll go back after I’m done here. I’ll be back soon. Wait for me.” 

“Okay, I’ll wait for you.” 

Tia couldn’t help but remind her, “Mom, don’t let Abby talk to strangers these days. You don’t talk too much to strangers either.” 

“I understand.” 

After hanging up, Tia fell into deep thoughts again, feeling distraught. 

She had already gone further and further down the wrong path, and there was no turning back. Now, she could only fight to the end of her days. After all, she could not give Simon a chance to investigate her. 

If that happened, Simon would not only take away her child, but he would take away her life as well! 

At the hospital. 

Another three days passed, but Hackett still showed no signs of waking up. 

08:28 Wed, Dec 4 

Chapter 408 

Valeria’s mood was also getting worse by the day because she had said all kinds of good things, but the man on the bed refused to wake up. 

She was even a little disheartened.
