With his roar, Mandy and Cheryl instantly fell silent.
Mandy glanced at Tyler. “Go out first.”
Tyler nodded and left the ward, closing the door behind him.
Mandy came to the bed and covered her son with the blanket. She tried to persuade him, “Hackett, don’t be so willful anymore. The James family needs you. Your health matters the most! Not only for yourself but also for the entire James family. Your father has already…”
“Alright, stop talking!” Hackett was extremely annoyed and did not want to hear those words anymore.
Mandy’s eyes were filled with tears as she swallowed her grievances. Tll go out and let Cheryl accompany you. Don’t let her down again. She’s been silently guarding you…
Mandy was halfway through her sentence when she was repelled by Hackett’s impatient gaze again. She did not say anything else and turned to leave the ward.
The gauze on Cheryl’s face had been removed. The doctor said the needed some air for her wound to recover better.

However, the wound caused by the fruit knife was even more conspicuous. This was unbearable for any w
Cheryl’s tears slowly rolled down the scar….
Hackett frowned unhappily. “Why are you crying? Don’t you want your face anymore?”
Cheryl quickly wiped her tears and said, “Hackett, although I don’t know what happened, you must have gone to talk to Valeria because of me. I beg you not to look for her anymore. Im afraid. She’s already gone crazy. I don’t want to lose you. I was so afraid when I saw you vomit blood last time.
Although Cheryl was worried about Hackett’s health, she was even more glad that Hackett and Valeria had finally fallen out.
“She said she didn’t cut your face, the man said in a low, emotionless voice.
Cheryl was stunned for a few seconds. What did he mean? Did Hackett still choose to believe Valeria’s words?
She looked incredulous. “Hackett, what do you mean? Are you suspecting me? Did you think I did this to myself? Am I crazy? I’m in the entertainment industry. How can I survive with my face like this?”
The man did not say anything. He did not want to believe that Valeria had done this. He felt Valeria was not that vicious.
you shouldn’t Cheryl burst into tears. “Hackett! I know you don’t like me, and there is no place for me in your heart, but think of me like that! Do you think I’m slandering Valeria? Would I pay the price of disfigurement only to slander Valeria? You’re too insulting!”
After saying that, Cheryl turned around and ran out of the ward in tears, leaving Hackett alone on the hospital bed in endless silence.
He let out a self–deprecating sneer.
Yes, what woman would be willing to pay the price of disfigurement to slander someone?
Moreover, Cheryl was a female celebrity,
In the evening. Valeria arrived at the matchmaking center as promised.

Chapter 108
This was a high–end matcheaking center. Not only did it strictly check the authenticity of the matchmaking partner’s information, but it also provided a dating venue.
Valeria arrived at a private room on the third floor. When she entered, the man was already there.
She only asked for a cup of coffee and sat opposite the man.
She looked at the man in front of her. Her first impression of him was okay. He was refined and wore a suit. From his information, he seemed to be in the financial industry. Moreover, he was divorced and had a child. He was compatible with
her.
“Hello, I’m Valeria. You probably have read my information. Then I will skip the introduction of myself” She extended her hand.
The man also shook her hand gently. “Hello, Ms. Sharp. My name is Johnny Lamb. I’ve read your introduction carefully. It’s very outstanding
“Thank you,” Valeria said awkwardly.
This was the first blind date in her life.
For some reason, it felt strange.
The man in front of her was quite good, but she did not feel anything. She did not have the intention to spend the rest of her life with him either.
Because she had never been on a blind date, she did not know if this was how blind dates were. Maybe they needed to take it slow.
After chatting for over half an hour at the matchmaking center, Johnny offered to go out for dinner. She wanted to refuse, but when she thought of how Alex yearned for fatherly love, she decided to spend more time with him.
Hence, he had dinner with Johnny, and they had a pleasant conversation. It was strange and distant..
“Ms. Sharp, it’s getting late. I’ll send you back. Where do you live?
“There’s no need. I drove here. I can drive back myself. I guess you drove here too, right?” Valeria said.
Johnny nodded. “Yes,”
“Then let’s each drive home. After all, there are children waiting at home,”
“Alright, let’s contact each other on WhatsApp.”
Hence, they each drove home.
After Valeria returned to her car, she immediately heaved a sigh of relief. Blind dates were indeed not something ordinary people could endure.
They were polite but the atmosphere was repressed.
It was Ella who advised her to go on a blind date. She said this would be the fastest way to get out of singlehood. After all, she only wanted to find a qualified father for Alex.
For some reason, Valeria agreed, but when she went on a blind date for real, she felt that something was amiss.
Could marriage really be so casual?
When Valeria returned to Starry Bay, Ella had already coaxed the baby to sleep and was watching television in the living

room, waiting for her torrenỰN.
As soon as she saw her enter, Ella couldn’t help but gossip. “How is it? Is the blind date successful? Do you like him?”
Valeria smiled helplessly. After changing into slippers, she slumped onto the sofa and sighed. “How should I put it? It’s not considered a success, but it’s not considered a failure. Perhaps this is how a blind date is. We probably need more time to get along slowly,”
“From your tone, you don’t seem to like him very much. It’s fine Continue doing it. There are lots of men, Ella comforted
her.
Valeria shrugged. “There’s nothing wrong with this man, but I feel like he’s not someone I can spend the rest of my life with:
It was just that she did not feel a sense of belonging. She felt that he was a stranger.
Back then, when she first saw Hackett, she had a sense of deja vuand an inexplicable sense of familiarity, as if she had seen him in her previous life.
That feeling was called falling at first sight, right?
Perhaps it was because she had experienced too much now and no longer had the feeling of being tempted that she felt very calm.
“Then it’s not going to happen. We’ll find another one. There’s no rush. By the way, have you eaten? Do you want me to make you some supper? Let me make you some noodles.”
As she spoke, Ella got up the kitchen.
and went to
Valeria was about to stop her when her phone rang. She took a look and saw that it was an unknown number.
Whose number was it?
Could it be Hackett again?
She picked up the call, and Tyler’s anxious voice came from the other end. “Ms. Sharp, did Mr. James come to you? He disappeared from the hospital again. We’re looking for him everywhere.”
Missing again?
