The woman’s voice made Valerie pause. ‘How could Mr. Grant’s phone end up in someone else’s hands? she wondered. 

The person on the other end said, “You must be a friend of the phone owner. I just found this phone, but don’t worry. I’ve already contacted them. He said he was busy with something urgent and would send someone to retrieve it soon. I’m here waiting for them to come.” 

“Oh, now I see… Valerie said. 

“Yes, if you need to talk to the phone’s owner, you might need to try reaching him later, that stranger suggested. 

The person who found the phone seemed to be a young girl. Her voice was lively and cheerful, and even without meeting her, Valerie could imagine her smiling face. 

“The person who lost the phone is my husband. Thank you for packing it up. I’ll contact him later,” Valerie said. 

The girl responded warmly. “No problem, happy to help. 

As Valerie hung up, she vaguely heard the girl muttering. “How can a man not even save his wife’s number?” Valerie was stunned for a moment, but the call had already ended. She felt a strange unease she couldn’t quite describe. Julian then asked, “So, what happened?” 

Not wanting Julian to overthink, Valerie said, “He’s got something urgent to handle. He won’t be coming.” 

Julian was visibly displeased. “How can he act like this? As a husband, he should prioritize his wife. You’re hospitalized. Is his job more important than you? He’s just a driver, not a big boss. Now that his wife is in the hospital, he should take a leave. This guy really doesn’t know what’s important. 

Julian had initially thought Matthew was a decent guy, worth Valerie’s appreciation, but now it seemed Matthew didn’t even care to cherish Valerie. 

‘My sister is in the hospital and pregnant. Even if Matthew didn’t know about the pregnancy, he knew she was staying in the hospital, right? He was supposed to be here, Julian complained internally. 

Seeing Julian’s indignant face, Valerie quickly comforted him. “Julian, you mentioned he’s a driver. If his boss needs him, he has to go. I’m fine, really. Besides, he’s trusted by his boss. You know, if the boss gives him a task, he probably can’t refuse.” 

Julian still looked displeased. “Don’t defend him. I thought he was a responsible husband, but now it seems he’s just 

clueless.” 

What kind of job is so busy that he can’t even make a phone call? He even said he was at the hospital entrance. Luckily, I came. Otherwise, Valerie would be alone, and what if something happened? Julian wondered. 

Valerie understood that Matthew’s job kept him busy, often working overtime on weekends. Tonight wasn’t early, and he still had work to do. He must be exhausted. 

However, she had finally mustered the courage to tell him she was pregnant. Now that he didn’t show up, her determination seemed to wane. 

Valerie couldn’t tell if she felt relieved or disappointed. She had been looking forward to his reaction. 

Not wanting Julian to notice, she quickly changed the subject. Julian, let’s not talk about me. Sit down. What are you planning to do about Ashley?” 

Julian sighed without saying a word. Valerie spoke in a serious tone. “Although Ashley did something outrageous today, there probably won’t be any substantial consequences. She’ll be out soon. What will you do then?”

Julian spoke grimly. “I initially planned to part ways amicably, buy a house, and give her half the money so she could start a new life. 

“After all, she moved here for marriage, but now, given what’s happened, an amicable separation is impossible. Ashley clearly intends to make things difficult for me. Since she’s been kind, I won’t hold back. If it comes to it, I’ll file for divorce. She committed adultery, and now she’s harmed Aiden. I won’t let her get away with it 

Hearing this, Valerie nodded. Julian was an honest and straighteward man. If even he was angry, it was clear how far Ashley had gone. But right now, Aiden was the most important concern 

They couldn’t let Aiden be affected any further. 

The two agreed to call the teacher the next morning, asking the kindergarten to ensure that only Julian or Valerie could pick 

up 

and drop off Aiden. At all other times, Aiden must be kept within sight, ensuring Ashley couldn’t harm him again. 

Valerie and Julian were conversing in the hospital room, while on the other side, Katherine was rushing to the hospital. 

She had been searching for someone with her bodyguards at the kindergarten, but since they were looking in different places, she hadn’t crossed paths with Valerie and Julian. Upon learning that Valerie had been hospitalized, she hurried to 

visit. 

In a bizarre twist of fate, while waiting at a traffic light, Katherine spotted a familiar figure. 

Katherine was taken aback, stunned for a moment. How could it be him?‘ she wondered.
