Valeria did not return to the hospital for the next few days.
No matter how many times Hackett called her, her line had always been busy. He suspected that Valeria had blocked his number.
Hackett looked at the dark sky outside the window. It had been raining for the past few days. Just like his mood, it was gloomy.
The door of the ward was pushed open. He looked back expressionlessly. It was Tyler.
“Mr. James, you called me?”
“Help me with the discharge procedures. I want to leave the hospital.” He felt moody staying in the hospital and could not do anything every day.
Tyler said, “But… your injury hasn’t healed yet. The doctor said that you have to be hospitalized for at least half a month.” “There’s no need for that. It’s the same if I recuperate at home. Besides, tomorrow is the anniversary of Abbot’s death.” Time passed so quickly. It was Abbot’s death anniversary again. Every year, he would go to the cemetery to visit Abbot.
At the mention of Abbot, Tyler didn’t say anything else and quietly left the ward.
-Hackett lifted the blanket off him, got up, and walked to the window. He looked at the dark, cloudy sky outside. Gradually,
tiny raindrops tapped on the glass.
It was raining again.
He picked up his phone and called Valeria again. He still couldn’t get through.
Now, he was 100% sure that she had blocked his number.
Soon, it was evening.
After working overtime, Valeria was ready to go home to accompany her son. Moreover, the new nanny would be starting work today.
She had asked the housekeeping service agency to search for a long time before she found such a suitable candidate. At first, because she wanted to find someone younger and had practiced fighting techniques, the housekeeping center treated her as a weirdo.
Valeria knew her request was a little strange, but after Alex got kidnapped, she was afraid something like that might happen again.
However, she never expected that she could really find a nanny who met her standards.
She was very young and had a black belt in Taekwondo. The nanny was willing to look after the child 24 hours a day.
That was perfect. It was exactly what she wanted.
Valeria couldn’t wait to go home and see what kind of person this nanny was. She wondered if the nanny could get along with that little brat.
As soon as her car arrived outside the Starry Bay villa area, it was stopped by a car.
Valeria opened the car door and walked to the car angrily. She knocked on the window.

Chapter 90
Unexpectedly, the car window slowly rolled down. Valeria was stunned. Why was it… Hackett?

“Hackett! Are you crazy? Why did you stop my car?” Her anger surged. This man had become even more infuriating after not seeing him for a few days. Moreover, why did he leave the hospital?
The man pushed open the car door and got out of the car. His tall figure immediately enveloped her delicate body.
“Why did you block my number?”
Valeria was speechless, thinking, “Did he come all the way from the hospital just to ask this?”
She took a deep breath and suppressed her anger. “I don’t want to answer your call, and you’ve been calling non–stop, so I blocked you. How about that?”
“Well done!” Hackett gritted his teeth. He really wanted to strangle this woman to death. She answered so casually.
“Why aren’t you recuperating in the hospital? It’s still raining outside. Do you want your wound to get inflamed and pus?”

At this moment, it was drizzling in the night sky. Although it was not heavy, the man’s wounds from the car accident had yet to heal. It would be strange if he did not get inflamed after being drenched in the rain.
Under the street lamp, the man’s figure looked tall.
Hackett looked at her delicate little face and her sharp tongue. He had the urge to kiss her, but he resisted-
“Do you care?”
“Why would I care? You don’t even care about your health. Who cares about you? I just feel sorry for Grandpa for going to the hospital to spend the night with you at his age!” She deliberately turned her head away, not wanting to look at Hackett’s eyes at this moment.
For some reason, she felt that Hackett had a lonely temperament that made her feel sorry for him. In addition, there was blood seeping out of the snow–white gauze on his forehead.
Hackett took out a black velvet box from the car and handed it to her. “Here you go.”
“What’s this?”
Valeria’s eyes were filled with doubt as she took the exquisite black velvet jewelry box. After opening it, she realized it was the emerald bracelet he had bought at the auction that day.
“What do
you
mean?” She looked up at the man’s cold and handsome face.
Hackett said in a deep voice, “I wanted to give it to you on my birthday, but I got into a car crash that day.”
Thinking about it, he felt that it was a little ridiculous. He wanted to give Valeria a gift on his birthday because he had been married to Valeria for a year and had never given her any gift.
That day, he thought that he would die in that car accident. He did not expect Valeria to find him.
When he heard Valeria call his name in the dark forest, his heart seemed to have come back to life. He had become even more determined to remarry her.
Suddenly, the air froze.
Valeria stared at the bracelet in a daze. It had cost him 20 million dollars to buy it.
She returned it to the man coldly. “I don’t want it. Take it back. You can give it to whoever you want.”
