Chapter 221 

At the cemetery. 

After Valeria left Starry Bay, she did not go home directly. Instead, she went to the cemetery. 

She wanted to see her mother there. She hadn’t been there in a long time. 

She bought a bouquet of lilies. Lilies were her mother’s favorite flowers. Then she placed it in front of the tombstone Looking at her mother’s genile smile in the photo, she could not help but smile. 

“Mom, are you okay over there? I haven’t seen you in a long time. I’ve been a little busy recently.” 

Valeria sighed. She slowly squatted down and touched the photo of her mother on the tombstone. When she touched the smile on her mother’s lips, she felt extremely sad. 

“Mom, tell me, why did I fall twice for the same man? Why am so stupid? I don’t hate him or anyone else. I only hate myself for being stupid.. 

Tears began to well up in her eyes. As she looked at her mother photo on the tombstone, she could not help but recall the time when her mother passed away. 

Before her mother died. Hackett did everything a son–in–law should do. Although Hackett did not like her, he still fulfilled his duty. 

Hackett stood in front of her mother’s bed and patiently listened to her mother’s last words. Although he was acting, he looked serious, 

At that time, she was very grateful to Hackett for being willing to cooperate with her and put on such a show so that her mother could leave in peace. 

Valeria thought of the scene back then. Tears rolled down her cheeks uncontrollably and fell on the bouquet of lilies. 

This time, she was really sad, even sadder than four years ago. 

Valeria didn’t know how long she stood in the cemetery, but her tears had already dried up. She looked up at the endless sky She felt that her life was like the sky. She didn’t know what would happen to her next. 

“Mom, I’m leaving. I’ll come and see you next time. Every time come, I’ll nag you so much about myself. You won’t feel annoyed, right?” She smiled faintly, looking hopeless. 

Suddenly, her phone rang. It was Ella. 

Valeria adjusted her emotions and answered the call. 

Before she could speak, Ella’s anxious voice came from the phone. “Valeria! The teacher in the kindergarten called and said that Alex is having a fever. I’m rushing to the kindergarten now. Come over quickly!” 

“What? Fever? Okay, I’ll be right there. You go first!” 

Valeria’s expression instantly changed. She did not even have the time to say goodbye to her mother. She just turned around and left. 

Why would Alex have a fever for no reason? She remembered that the last time Alex had a fever was last year. 

However, what she did not expect was that Ella not only called her, but also her ex–husband, Hackett, 

After all, he was the child’s biological father.

Chapter 221- 

In the kindergarten 

Alex was listless in the morning and had no appetite for lunch. 

The teacher noticed his abnormality. After taking his temperature, the teacher realized he had a fever. The temperature was high. 

Ella was the first to arrive at the kindergarten. The teacher was cooling Alex physically 

“Miss, what’s going on? Why did Alex have a fever? Ella went over and carried Alex from the teacher’s arms. 

“I’m not sure either. I found that Alex was not in good spirits today. He didn’t have much of an appetite when he ate. I took his temperature just now and found that he had a fever.” 

Valeria followed closely behind. One minute after Ella arrived, she entered the classroom. When she saw that Alex was already asleep, her heart tightened. 

She walked over and held the baby in her arms. She even forgot that she was wearing the high heels from yesterday. 

Valeria touched Alex’s chin with her chin. It was indeed hot. 

“Let’s go to the hospital” 

“Okay” Ella followed closely behind her. Parents had to pay special attention when children had fevers because their brains might be injured because of fevers. 

As soon as Valeria walked out of the kindergarten, she lost her footing and leaned forward. It seemed that Alex was about to be thrown out of her arms 

Ella shouted, “Valeria!” 

Ella wanted to hold her back, but it was too late. 

At this moment, an arm wrapped around Valeria’s waist and took the child away. 

Valeria’s heart almost jumped out of her chest. After her body was supported, she looked up and her eyes instantly widened. 

It was actually Hacken! 

Hackett held Alex in his arms with one hand and wrapped his other arm around her slender waist. 

When Valeria saw Hackett at this moment, she unconsciously recalled everything that happened in the garage that day… 

She pushed Hackett away and shouted angrily, “Let go of me! What are you doing here? Give me back the child!” 

Before Valeria could regain her balance, she wanted to snatch Alex back. Once again, she lost her balance and throw herself into Hackett’s arms. 

Hackett hugged her tightly but was pushed away by her again. 

“Don’t touch me! Let me ask 

you who asked you to come here!” 

at he didn’t want her or Alex. What was he doing here now? Did he come to 

She remembered clearly that Hackett had said that disgust her? 

Ella, who was standing at the side, was completely confused by this scene. She said carefully, “I told Mr. James to come. I thought that he was Alex’s father. 1. 

Ella looked a little aggrieved. She did not know why Valeria was so angry. Didn’t Valeria cook for Hackett a few days ago?

Chapter 221 

Why did she suddenly turn bostile? 

Hackett hugged Alex in his arms tightly and frowned. “Let’s not talk so much. Let’s go to the hospital first. Alex is more important. 

With that, Alex carried Alex and walked towards the car. 

Valeria had no time to quarrel with him now. She just wanted to take Alex to see the doctor. Alex’s forehead was burning hot. 

In the children’s hospital. 

The doctor diagnosed Alex and let him take an IV drip 

Valeria calmed down and looked at the kid on the bed with heartache. 

However, when she looked at the man standing at the side, she could not help but clench her fists. She really did not understand why Hackett did this! 

Could it be that he wanted to humiliate her for not even being qualified to be a mother? For her to fall while carrying a child: 

Actually, at this moment, Hackett was like a prisoner. Clayton sent an assistant over to help Hackett, saying that Hackett could command the assistant. But actually, the assistant was here to watch Hackett. 

Because Hackett received the call from Ella at the board meeting. Hearing that Alex was having a fever, he left the meeting and hurried to the hospital. 

But he did it too obviously, Clayton noticed it. Hackett had to say that his ex–wife deliberately used the child to threaten him. Clayton was a cunning guy. He sent his assistant over with Hackett. 

He just wanted to see what was going on between Hackett and Valeria and how much Hackett liked Alex 

If Hackett liked Alex too much, in Clayton’s opinion, the children born by his daughter in the future would suffer. 

Clayton was provident. He even thought of his grandchildren. 

In short, he did not want his precious daughter and descendants to suffer any grievances or threats.
