Chapter 80
“Can’t you learn it? Is it difficult to learn how to cook for the woman you love? Or is this all the sincerity you have in wooing
a woman!
Valeria was deliberately making things difficult for Hackett to let him have a taste of this
Hacken remained silent. He knew that Valeria was filled with resentment.
Valeria stood up and left, and so did he. “I’ll drive you home, said Hackett.
“That won’t be necessary. I want to take a taxi back. You said you wanted to change your temper.”
In fact, she was afraid that if Hackett sent her home and ran into that brat Alex, what should she do?
Hackett remained silent once again. Indeed, he promised to change his bad temper.
He suppressed his displeasure and followed Valeria all the way out of the Mantia Building. He watched helplessly as she hailed a taxi and left.
Hackett pulled his car out of the garage and tailed the taxi. He just wanted to escort her home safely.
Actually, he could understand why Valeria was treating him like this.
It was because he had made too many mistakes previously. This was what he deserved.
After following Valeria to Starry Bay, Hackett stopped his car in the dark for a long time…
He recalled the various mistakes he had made to Valeria four years ago. It seemed that he had gone too far in every wrong thing.
Suddenly, his phone vibrated.
Frowning, he glanced at it. He didn’t want to answer the phone, but he quickly picked it up when he saw it was from the sanatorium.
“What happened?” asked Hackett.
The attending doctor’s voice came from the other end of the phone. “Mr. James, your mother doesn’t seem to be in a good state. She keeps asking to see you. Do you have time to come over now?”
Hackett’s expression changed. “What happened to her?” asked he
His parents had been a mystery and had disappeared for many years. No one in their circle knew where his parents had gone. It was as if they had vanished into thin air.

“I’m coming over right now,” said Hackett.
After hanging up the phone, Hackett immediately drove his car around and toward the sanatorium.
He calculated the time, and it seemed he had not visited his mother for half year.

mental state worse.
At the Southhill Sanatorium.
Hackett finally arrived at the sanatorium after nearly an hour of driving.
Perhaps it was because it was late at night, or this place was alreally quiet, so everything was dead and lifeless here.
After parking the car, Hackett went to the high–class ward where his mother lived.
When he walked into the ward, he saw his mother sitting on the rocking chair in her hospital gown. She kept muttering, “Elon James, this is retribution. This is retribution… Why don’t you believe in retribution…”
Elon James was Hackett’s father’s name..
Hackett walked up to his mother and looked at her haggard appearance. He slowly squatted down.
“Hackett, is that you? My son… is that you? Am I dreaming?” Mandy looked at the handsome man before her and didn’t dare to recognize him because she had not seen her son for a long time.
“Mom, it’s me.” Hackett’s deep voice slowly sounded.
“Hackett, you’re finally here! Mom was so scared!”
After saying that, Mandy hugged him, tears flowing down her face. She indeed looked scared.
Hackett gently patted his mother’s back. “What are you afraid of? Are you unhappy here? Or I’ll change you to another sanatorium.”
Mandy shook her head frantically and left her son’s arms. “No. I’m afraid that retribution will befall you again. I’m so scared.” “Mom, don’t let your imagination run wild!” Hackett’s face darkened when he heard the word retribution. He hated hearing the word.
However, Mandy grabbed his arm tightly and said, “Have you forgotten how your father died? It’s retribution. How could he do such a cruel thing? How could he let someone else’s son suffer such torture in place of his son to death? Then he was squashed in a car accident. Isn’t that retribution? Tell me what this is!”
Many years ago, a series of strange things had happened in the James family since Abbot’s tragic death.
Elon had been in a car accident one after another. In the end, he died in a car accident. Moreover, his death was even more tragic. From then on, Mandy went crazy and could only be sent to this sanatorium.
Moreover, the most unacceptable thing was that Elon died on Hackett’s birthday.
Hackett never celebrated his birthday again from then on.
Valeria took it upon herself to celebrate Hackett’s birthday four years ago. That time, Hackett threw a tantrum. Valeria was so frightened that her face turned pale.
“Stop talking!”
Hackett roared angrily. Mandy was totally stunned as she stared at her son before her in a daze.
Hackett stood up impatiently. “I thought you wanted to see me. If that’s all you want to tell me, I’m leaving. Have a good
rest.”
