"Valerie, are you okay?" Katherine approached, noticing how much thinner she looked and feeling concerned.
Valerie raised an eyebrow. "I'm fine, just worried about Matthew. I just spoke with my brother, asking him to help locate him. The communication network in Wakanda is down, so I can't reach out from here. I'm relying on them to find him locally and hope they can do it quickly." During this time, Valerie couldn't hold back her worry for even a moment. If it weren't for Sophia and Hugo, she would have already gone there herself.
After speaking, Valerie noticed Katherine's calm demeanor, which seemed like she had truly moved on. Seeing this, Valerie felt a sense of relief.
Katherine nodded and asked, "So, what's the plan?"
Valerie shook her head. "The situation in Wakanda is very tense right now, and there's no news yet. My brother said the only option is to rely on acquaintances there. The Cabrera family has significant influence in that region."
Katherine nodded, thinking, 'Yes, we can only rely on the Cabrera family.' She then smiled, bringing over a gift. "Valerie, I bought some gifts for Hugo. I've been resting since I came back, and today I finally have some free time to visit the both of you!"
"That's so nice of you, thank you," Valerie said.
"Valerie, you don't need to thank me! Remember, we agreed that if you had a baby, I'd be the godmother. Now that I'm finally here, don't tell me you're going to go back on your word!" Katherine said.
Valerie smiled and immediately picked up Hugo. "Of course not! Hugo, look, this is your godmother, Miss Katherine!"
Valerie held Hugo's tiny hand and waved it toward Katherine. Just then, Hugo opened his eyes, his big, round eyes focusing on Katherine. He gave a little smile and made a soft sound of acknowledgment.
Katherine was thrilled, "Valerie, he heard us! Look, Louis, he even made a little sound!" Katherine excitedly pulled Louis over. As he saw the baby, Louis felt a soft warmth in his heart. When Hugo grasped his finger, it touched a tender spot deep inside him. It was a truly magical feeling.
Louis looked down at Hugo, and Hugo's pure, clear eyes made him think of Matthew. He couldn't help but say, "We owe you and Matthew a big thanks. If it weren't for us, he would have been here with you by now. I'm sorry."
Valerie shook her head. "There's no need to apologize. We're all friends. And Matthew would never regret it. Helping Katherine was our choice, so don't feel burdened. Once he returns, we'll celebrate together!"
As Valerie spoke cheerfully about celebrating when Matthew returned, Louis felt an increasing heaviness in his heart. The fact that Matthew was trapped in Wakanda because of the Santos family's issues made him feel a deep sense of guilt. If anything were to happen to Matthew because of this, he would never forgive himself. The innocent gaze of Hugo only deepened his internal struggle, leaving him at a loss for how to face the situation.
Katherine broke the silence and the awkwardness, "I believe he will come back safely. With Valerie and Hugo around, he won't give up easily." She smiled and added, "Look, he's looking at you. Hugo has a bright gaze; he's going to achieve great things in the future!"
