Marriage Resumption (Valeria and Hackett)

Chapter 198

Since the reaction of the two of them was so strong, Ernest could only choose to shut up. However, he was really skeptical about how Barron actually fell down the stairs. Valeria and Hackett looked at each other.

Valeria's eyes were filled with panic. She was afraid that Hackett would misunderstand, but it was indeed very difficult to explain.

Meanwhile, Hackett had a complicated look in his eyes. He seemed to have some doubts, but he also felt that he should firmly believe in Valeria and stand on her side. Suddenly, the lights in the operating room went out. A doctor walked out as the door opened and took off his mask.

The doctor's expressionless face made it impossible for them to guess what was going on inside the room.

Hackett walked up to the doctor and asked, "How is it?"

The doctor glanced at the three people present and shook his head helplessly. He said, "I'm sorry. We've tried our best. When the patient arrived, he was already bleeding profusely and suffocating. It was too late." Hackett's dark pupils suddenly constricted, and his tall body froze on the spot.

Ernest was dumbfounded. As for Valeria, she only heard a loud hang inside her head as if the entire world had collapsed.

Valeria's legs suddenly lost their strength. She walked up to the doctor and asked with a trembling voice, "Doctor, what did you mean just now... What do you mean by trying your best? What do you mean it's too late? Can you explain to me what you mean?" Her mind went blank. Her fingertips trembled

The doctor knew that many families could not accept this outcome, but there was nothing they could do. Sometimes, life was just so helpless.

He was already used to this kind of situation, so he patiently said again, "What I mean is that Mr. Barron is already brain-dead. In medical terms, he may be announced dead."

Dead...

The news was pressuring Valeria as if an entire mountain had fallen on her, making her unable to breathe. Her face was as pale as paper.

She couldn't even stand straight and took a step back. "How could this be..."

Initially, she was prepared to talk to Barron in an angry mood. She did not expect to see Barron's corpse. Moreover, she might never have the chance to talk to Barron again.

Hackett did not say a word the entire time. He walked into the operating room with heavy steps. He couldn't even say goodbye to Barron for a last time.

Moreover, he had been making his grandfather angry for the past couple of days. He even made his grandfather so angry that he stayed at home for many days and did not want to leave the house.

He walked into the operating room and saw his grandfather's body lying on the bed, covered by a white cloth.

Tears instantly flowed out of Hackett's eyes. For the first time in his life, He saw his grandfather being so quiet.

Chapter 198 "Grandpa...

The man's voice was hoarse and deep. He called out to him, but his grandpa under the white cloth would never be able to respond to him again.

Hackett walked up to the operating table step by step. Although was only a few steps away, it felt so far away.

He lifted the white clotli and saw his grandfather's bloodless face. The blood from the cut on his forehead had clotted and his body was hardening.

He was clearly fine last night. How come now he was dead lying on this bed....

Hackett could not accept the reality for a moment. Last night, he had angered his grandfather so much that he almost choked, but now, his grandfather was lying here without any motion.

Then, Ernest and Valeria walked in. When Ernest saw Barron, he burst into tears. He walked over while crying and said, "Mr. Barron, please wake up. How could this happen... How am I supposed to explain this to Mr. James? Why did you leave just like that... The moment Valeria saw the corpse, her legs went weak and tears streamed down her face.

Although she was prepared to have a big fight with her grandfather before she went to look for him, now that she saw his corpse lying here, she felt so desperate and helpless....

"Grandpa..." She called out softly, but her heart was filled with guilt.

However, she did not know why she felt guilty. It was clearly not her fault. When she saw Barron, he was already lying in a pool of blood. Valeria walked to the operating table step by step. As she looked at Barron lying there peacefully, her tears flowed out one after another. Hackett, who was standing at the side, held his grandfather's hand and said in a hoarse voice, "Grandpa, I'm sorry..."

At this moment, Valeria's phone rang.

It sounded so discordant in the dead silence of the operating room.

She was not in the mood to answer the call. She wanted to reject the call, but instead, she pressed the answer button. It was a call from Keith.

Keith's voice came from the other side of the call. "Valeria, I found Alex at the police station. Last night, Alex walked to the police station to ask for help. Don't worry, the child has been found..."

She could no longer hear what Keith said afterward. She only heard that the child had been found.

So she had really mistakenly blamed Barron. This time, it wasn't Barron James who took the child...

At the thought of this, tears streamed down Valeria's face. She cried even harder. Why didn't she believe Barron?

Out of everyone from the James family, Barron was clearly the person who treated her the best. Even if he wanted to hide the child, he was just afraid that she would take the child and run away.

Valeria looked at the man beside her. Standing in front of Grandpa, he seemed to have returned to his role as a good grandson. He was no longer filled with hostility, and his eyes were filled with sadness. She heard Hackett calling Grandpa over and over again expressionlessly as if Grandpa was going to respond in the next second.
