Marriage Resumption (Valeria and Hackett)

Chapter 316

Naomi and Hackett were at the hospital.

After Naomi's wound was treated, the doctor instructed Hackett, "When you go back, don't let her wound get wet. Don't let her drink alcohol, eat seafood or spicy food."

"Okay."

"Also, the wound will itch when it scabs. She mustn't scratch it. Just come to the hospital regularly to change the dressing."

"Okay." Hackett patiently responded to the nurse's instructions.

At this moment, another nurse brought the bill and handed it to the man. "Here's the bill. Payment's at the first floor."

Hackett took the bill and left.

After the man left, the nurse asked Naomi while the nurse was bandaging her wound, "Is that your boyfriend? He's so handsome. It's my first time seeing such a good-looking man." A blissful smile appeared on Naomi's face.

It was the first time she had been misunderstood like this. She felt a surge of sweetness in her heart. "If only all of this was true," she thought.

She didn't say anything, but the nurse saw her sweet smile and mistook them for a real couple.

The nurse said in a joking tone, "You can take this opportunity to order your boyfriend around more. He looks like the cool and reserved type."

"I'd love to, but I can't bear to do that." Naomi lowered her head shyly as her voice trailed off.

If Hackett was Naomi's boyfriend, how could Naomi bear to order Hackett around? Naomi would only be completely obedient to this man.

The nurse smiled. "Then he will have complete control over you! Let me tell you. Men can't be spoiled. As long as he still has you in his heart, you can act up a little."

The smile on Naomi's face disappeared.

However, Hackett did not have Naomi in Hackett's heart. How could Naomi possibly act up? If she did that, she wouldn't be able to get close to him.

At this moment, Hackett came back after paying the bill. Seeing that her wound had been bandaged, he helped her stand up. "Let's go."

"Hackett, you won't be angry at Alex when you go back, right? He's still young. He'll be afraid if you keep yelling at him."

Naomi looked gentle and kind as if she was really worried about Alex.

"I won't," the man replied.

She was stunned for a moment. She thought, "He won't?

"Even if that little brat made me bleed, Hackett wouldn't condemn that brat, huh?"

Naomi continued to smile hypocritically. "That's good. Alex is very obedient. Perhaps he's just a little uncomfortable in an unfamiliar environment." 1/3

The man didn't say anything else.

They returned to the James Manor.

After returning, Hackett helped Naomi to her bedroom, Hackett did not stay a second longer and turned to leave.

The moment he turned to leave, the pure smile on Naomi's face disappeared without a trace.

She had guessed that Hackett would be biased towards that brat, but she underestimated the extent of his bias.

On the other side, Valeria had just coaxed her son to sleep. He had just undergone a bone marrow transplant surgery, so he still needed a lot of rest. Suddenly, the bedroom door was pushed open.

Valeria turned around and glared fuming at the person who opened the door. When she saw that it was Hackett, she was even more furious.

The man softened his steps when he saw that the child had fallen asleep. He closed the door softly and walked to the bed.

When Valeria thought about how Hackett had scolded Alex to tears because of Naomi today, Valeria was enraged.

After covering Alex with the blanket, Valeria stood up and signaled to the man with a glance, prompting him to join her on the balcony for a chat.

Hence, the two of them went to the balcony and closed the glass door behind them.

Hackett already knew what Valeria wanted to say, so Hackett sat on the outdoor sofa at the side and quietly waited for Valeria

to vent.

Hackett did not feel good about scolding his son, but Naomi had saved his son's life after all. Logically speaking, he could not let her suffer such a grievance again.

"Why did you trust Naomi's one-sided depiction of the event? Or are you doubting my son's upbringing? Do you think my son would do such a thing?"

This was the factor that infuriated her the most. This man didn't even know what happened and only assumed that Alex had hurt Naomi.

The man lowered his head slightly and was silent for a long time. He said, "Alex has the habit of smashing things when he's throwing a tantrum. We have to stifle his bad habit. Otherwise, it'll be harder to correct it when he grows up." "Don't change the topic. If it were you, you would have broken something too. You wronged my son like that. Of course, he would be angry!"

Hackett looked up and met her eyes. "But Naomi is indeed injured. I also saw Alex push her to the ground with my own eyes. No matter what, she saved my son's life. It's not good to repay kindness with ingratitude."

"What a joke. Is Naomi made of paper? How can a three-year-old push her to the ground? It was all an act! Don't you know

that?"

Valeria was so infuriated that she almost laughed. That Naomi was indeed up to no good.

At first, Valeria didn't agree to Naomi's offer to donate her bone marrow. Sure enough, after Naomi donated her bone marrow, Naomi began to cause all kinds of trouble. Moreover, Naomi had figured out Hackett's personality. As long as this man felt guilty, he would be infinitely tolerant. He could even let her do whatever she wanted.

Valeria was about to explode in anger. The man did not want to argue with her. After all, with Valeria's current mood, they

couldn't talk things through. It would only intensify the conflict.

"Alright, let's not talk about this anymore. You're very agitated now. We'll talk about it when you calm down."

However, Hackett did not know that his words had hit the raw nerve of any woman.

"Calm down"? Do you mean I'm not calm now? No matter how agitated I am, I won't frame a three-year-old child. If this is where you stand, I'll bring my son home tonight."

Valeria didn't want her son to breathe the same air as Naomi. Valeria felt that Naomi was up to something sinister.

Indeed, this incident happened on their first day home, although Valeria didn't know what Naomi's real motive was.

Upon hearing this, Hackett stood up and quashed the frustration in his heart. He said in a deep voice, "Let him stay here. It will help with his recovery. The environment here is good, and the air is fresh."

"So what? The most important aspect of recuperation is to be in a good mood. Can Alex recover from being framed every day?"

Hackett was rendered speechless.

The man did not know what to say. He sighed deeply and said, "I'm sorry. I shouldn't have been so harsh to him today, but the situation was urgent, and this kid had such a foul temper. I just wanted to control his temper." "Then why don't you put a leash on Naomi instead? She's here to cause trouble. Can't you tell? She told our son she was coming to the hot spring to make him jealous. Can't you tell at all?"

Valeria didn't even know what to say to him. It seemed men were unable to discern what an angelic bitch was.

Hackett remained silent. He could not tell.

Naomi wasn't pestering him anymore, and she even initiated to donate her bone marrow. He really couldn't find a reason to chase her away.
