Chapter 476
The footprints were somewhat jumbled, likely Valerie’s. It wasn’t clear whose blood it was–Valerie’s or Ruth’s
Seeing the disordered footprints and knowing Valerie had a high fever, Matthew’s heart clenched. “Search carefully in this direction. Don’t overlook any hiding spots,” he ordered urgently.
Ruth
grumbled quietly. “That girl is so ruthless Can’t believe she actually dared to hit me
“Silence her and take her to the police station Matthew ordered sternly.
“Yes” a man responded. Ruth was instantly terrified. She tried to speak out, but someone slapped her across the face, sending her head to the side.
“Behave yourself!” he snapped. Ruth was then tied up and taken away.
Matthew rubbed his forehead, kept awake all night by thoughts of Valerie’s uncertain situation. “Vallic… I won’t let anything happen to you”
Valerie wasn’t just his wife. If Olivia was right and Valerie was still the Anderson family’s granddaughter, any harm coming to Valerie would devastate Olivia. She might not be able to hold on anymore. He had to keep looking
Matthew took a deep breath to steady himself. He knew which direction Valerie had gone and needed to search there. The lack of surveillance and sparse population in the suburban town made it difficult to find witnesses. His best chance was to look for a small shop nearby
“Where would Valerie go in an unfamiliar place!” he wondered. If it were him, he’s likely head to either a police station or any open shop. With the direction clear, Matthew instructed his team to search all nearby shops and pharmacies. Charles led the group, questioning people door to door along the street
Valerie was always calm in a crisis. She would know exactly what to do and find a safe place to contact him.
In this small town, apart from supermarkets, Valerie might have only sought help from 24–hour stores.
The supermarket wasn’t open at the time, so the pharmacy seemed like the most likely option. Yet, almost every pharmacy claimed they hadn’t

Ten minutes later, Matthew arrived at the last pharmacy, holding Valerie’s photo, his hope flickering faintly.
The shop assistant was taken aback, thinking to herself, What’s happening today? Why are there so many people here?
“What would you like to buy!” she asked.
“Have you
seen this person!” Charles showed her the photo. The shop assistant took a quick look and was immediately surprised. “Is she famous or something? Why’s everyone asking about her?”
Matthew was caught off guard. After collecting himself, he hurried over to the counter and asked urgently. “Hold on, what did you just say? Who clse is looking for her?”

The shop assistant paused, recalling the events. “Yeah, about half an hour back, someone dressed like you came by and took her awa looked really rough–covered in dirt, blood, and she seemed to have a fevert
Matthew frowned upon hearing this. Do you know where they went?
“That way,” the shop assistant said.

Matthew followed the direction she pointed and felt a contacted him, but there had been no word.
“So, who took Valerie away he wondered
At that moment, the shop assistant was also terrified. Seeing them all push over, she hurriedly brought up the surveillance footage on the shop’s
