Chapter 457
The man stared at her face and suddenly felt his head begin to athe again. He sat down in the chair behind the desk and held his forehead, fighting the pain. Valeria subconsciously wanted to step forward. "How are you?"
""Headache... Medicine..."
Medicine?
Valeria immediately panicked. She turned around and ran out of the study room, shouting, "Ernest! Where's the headache medicine? Hurry up and bring it over!"
She kept shouting for Ernest and Ernest answered from downstairs. "The headache medicine is in Mr. James's bedroom. I'll get it now!"
She looked at the man in the study with a pained expression. "Hang in there. The medicine will be here soon! Hang in there!"
After a while, Ernest brought the medicine over. Valeria took the medicine and turned around to return to the study. She unscrewed the bottle, took out two pills, and handed them to the man. Hackett took the pill and rested for a while. He began to feel that his headache had eased a lot.
He looked up and saw Valeria's worried expression. Although he could not remember anything, he wanted to believe Valeria's words.
"Are you saying that the child was ours and that the paternity test was fake?"
Valeria nodded, but she did not dare to say anything else to agitate the man. She did not reveal much just now, but the man already had a splitting headache. If she said anything more, she was afraid that Hackett would faint.
"All right. If you say so. I'll give you a chance. I'll look into it myself. When I'm done, if the truth isn't what you say it is, you'll have to watch out."Content rights by NôvelDr//ama.Org.
Hackett's eyes were filled with ruthlessness. Of course, he wanted to find out the truth. The feeling of not knowing anything about the past was terrible. Anyone could lie to him.
Valeria wanted to say something but hesitated. She nodded and turned to leave. However, she suddenly thought of something and turned around. "Why don't you go to the hospital? I see that the wounds on your body haven't healed yet. Your injuries are too serious. Everyone can be at ease if you are in the hospital."
"I'm not going there." The man enunciated each word clearly. His tone was filled with disgust for the hospital.
Valeria sighed softly. "Then, take good care of yourself. There are still many things that you have to do in the future."
Hackett looked at her departing back and felt that she seemed to be hiding a lot of things from him. However, he had lost his memories of the past, so he could not tell if her words were true or false.
Watching Valeria walk out of the study, the man actually felt an inexplicable emptiness in his heart. A voice in his mind was -shouting, "Don't let Valeria leave!"
Suddenly, his head started to hurt again.
Whenever he wanted to recall the lost memories, he could not help but have a headache. Forget it. He would wait until he found out the truth.
Chapter 457-
In the next few days, Valeria did not disturb Hackett again. She knew that the man needed to investigate and digest some things himself for the time being. She did not want to agitate the man anymore. Her phone rang. It was from Tyler.
She picked up the phone. "Why aren't you recuperating? Why are you always calling me? It's useless for you to care about this. There's nothing you can do now."
"Why are you so fierce? Did Mr. James bully you?"
Valeria did not say anything. Instead, she bit her lower lip. Tyler's voice came from the phone again. "He doesn't remember anything now. Don't lower yourself to his level. You have to think about your past and think about Alex! Everything is for Alex! You have to awaken his memories too. Otherwise, I'm really afraid that Alex will really think that the scoundrel is his father."
"Of course I know, but he's so badly injured now. If I agitate him, he'll have a headache or even faint. How can I awaken his memories like that? The wounds on his body haven't even healed, and there are still blood clots in his mind. If I tell him now, he'll either faint from the stimulation and we won't know when he'll wake up. Or the blood clots in his head will dissipate after a bumpy ride on the plane. When that happens, he'll still be unconscious. What do you want me to do?"
Valeria really did not know what to do now. It was as if she was at a dead end.
Tyler, who was on the other end of the phone, also fell silent. It seemed that there was really no good solution.
After some time, Tyler said, "Although I can't do anything now, I can move around a little. I plan to sneak into the Lawrence Manor and protect Alex at all times."
"You? Simon has already remembered your appearance. How are you going to sneak in? Besides, your legs are broken. How are you going to walk?"
"You probably forgot about the disguise technique. Also, do you think the Lawrence Manor discriminates against disabled people or something? Can't I be a gardener?" Valeria was speechless. She laughed helplessly. "Then be careful. If you're discovered again, no one can save you."
"Don't worry. I'm not that useless. I'll call when I get in."

With that, he hung up the phone. Valeria got up and walked to the bathroom. She was about to wash up and go out to eat something.
If Tyler could sneak into the Lawrence Manor to take care of Alex, she would really be relieved.
As soon as she finished washing up, her phone rang again. She picked it up and saw that the caller ID said 'Hubby'. It was Hackett? He actually called her? It was unbelievable. Valeria picked up the phone, but the voice from the other end disappointed her.
"Ms. Sharp, there's something I need you to come to the company for. This is also what Mr. James wants."
"Oh, sure... Got it..."
She thought that Hackett was looking for her and was a little disappointed.
After Valeria changed her clothes, she carried her bag and prepared to go to the James Group to see what was going on.
After Valeria arrived at the company of the James Group, she headed straight to the legal department. She thought that there was something that needed her to consult on. However, just as she reached the elevator, the elevator door opened and Hackett's assistant walked out. "Ms. Sharp, you've
finally arrived. Come with me to the conference room."
She stepped into the elevator and looked puzzled. "To the conference room? Not to the legal department?"
"Mr. James is meeting a client in the conference room. He said that he wants you to listen in. I don't know what his intentions are. You will have to find out from Mr. James personally." Valeria nodded and did not ask further. She followed the assistant to the conference room.

After entering the conference room, she immediately saw the man in a suit sitting at the conference table talking to a client.
The assistant brought her to sit quietly behind the man. Valeria looked at the man's arrogant back, waiting to be called at any time.
However, what puzzled her was that the man did not call her at all throughout the entire meeting. She was really just listening in. She did not know what Hackett was up to.
