Chapter 448
“I didn’t say anything, and I have no idea why he turned out like his. Who do you think you are to hit me? When Hackett needed someone to take care of him in the hospital after the accent, where were you? He’s awake now, and you come running back. You’re the shameless one!”
Yumi stared at Valeria and shouted angrily at her.
With a snap, Valeria’s hand landed another slap on Yumi’s face,
“You know nothing! What are you blabbering about here? Let me tell you, if anything happens to Hackett, I won’t spare you!” Valeria’s tone was fierce as she glared at Yumi.
“Valeria, that’s enough! If you lay a hand on her again, I won’t be polite!” Harry pulled Valeria away. He watched his sister take two slaps, but he couldn’t bring himself to harm a woman.
Valeria shot him an angry glare, shrugged off Harry’s hand, and walked toward the direction of the ward without looking back, wanting to see what had happened to Hackett.
However, Yumi stood where she was, looking bewildered and watching Valeria storm off in anger.
“Harry, why does she think she can hit me? What gives her the right… She’s the one who abandoned Hackett when he was unconscious in the hospital. Why does she think she can hit me now?” Yumi was aggrieved and questioned.
However, Harry didn’t say anything. Instead, he looked at Yumi’s swollen cheek and said, “Stay here for a while, and I’ll go find an ice pack for you.”
As Yumi walked away, an eerie laugh escaped her. The hospital corridor was eerily quiet, making her laughter sound even more unsettling.
Yumi couldn’t wait to see how Hackett would react to Valeria after learning all this!
In the ward.
Valeria sat by the bedside and looked at the sleeping Hackett. His face was pale, and he seemed to be having a troubled dream.
Worried, Valeria held Hackett’s hand, and she watched as the furrowed lines on his forehead slowly smoothed out.
In his current state, Valeria dared not mention Alex to Hackett. Besides, Hackett’s wounds hadn’t completely healed yet, and taking a flight for over ten hours was simply not realistic. Hackett might pass out halfway.
After what felt like an eternity, Hackett finally woke up and slowly opened his pitch–black eyes.
However, this time, the first thing he saw upon waking was Valeria, the woman who claimed to be his wife.
When Valeria saw Hackett’s eyes open, her face lit up with joy. “You’re awake! How are you feeling? Do you uncomfortable anywhere? I’ll go call the doctor for you.”

Valeria turned to go find the doctor, but Hackett grabbed her delicate wrist, staring intently at her delicate face. His mind was flooded with Yumi’s words and the DNA test.
Hackett loathed Valeria to the core.
“Hackett! What are you doing? You’re hurting me…” Valeria’s wrist felt like it was about to be crushed, and the pain made her furrow her brows.
Through gritted teeth, Hackett said, “I am hurting you? It seems like you know the meaning of pain? Do you have any idea

how much pain I was trafter the accident?”
At that, Valeria was totally stunned and looked at the enraged 1kett. She had no idea why he was so furious.
“Hackett, what did Yumi tell you? What the hell did she tell you? Valeria was angry and couldn’t help but ask.
It must have been something Yumi said, otherwise, how could Hackett be this upset?
“Huh! Isn’t what she said the truth?” Hackett gave Valeria a cold look.
“What exactly did she tell you? Speak!” Valeria knew that Hacked shouldn’t be agitated given the severity of his injuries, but she couldn’t help it.
At this moment, the door to the ward was pushed open, and Yumi walked in.
“Hackett… you two…”
Seeing this, Yumi was stunned in place, unsure of what both of them were doing.
The moment Yumi entered, Hackett immediately noticed her swollen cheeks, with faint imprints of a handprint. Who had hit Yumi?
“Who did this to your face?” Hackett’s voice was hoarse and weak as he asked.
Yumi silently looked at Valeria, then shook her head. “No one.”

Hackett frowned slightly, following Yumi’s gaze to Valeria’s angry face. He asked, “Did you do this to her?”
“It doesn’t matter! She deserves it for being a wretch.”
The next moment, Hackett’s hand slapped across Valeria’s face, a loud slap echoing through the entire ward.
Harry, who had just entered, was stunned by the scene.
Yumi, after her initial surprise, let a smirk play on her lips. It seemed Hackett completely believed in what she had said. Now, what could Valeria possibly explain? After all, the DNA test was right there, and no one could deny it.

Valeria’s face twisted to the side. She truly hadn’t expected Hackett to lay hands on her.
With misty eyes, Valeria looked at Hackett’s pale yet handsome face. “You’re hitting me for her. You actually laid a hand on me for her.”
“So what! What gives you the right to hit her? What have you done? What right do you have to be in front of me..
