Chapter 407
Tyler clenched his fists. He did not know how to answer this question because he did not know when Mr. James would come
out.

Valeria stood there and stared at the sign of the operating room Tears rolled down her cheeks and onto her chin. Then, they fell onto the ground and broke into a few pieces. Just like her heart that was pierced by the tremendous amount of pain.
“You have to wake
- up. Please, do you hear me…”
Valeria spoke to the operating room’s door with tears in her eyes. She clenched her fists tightly, and her nails dug into her palms, but she did not feel any pain.
All she was thinking was how much pain Hackett felt after losing so much blood.
Suddenly!
The operating room’s lights went out. Valeria and Tyler were slightly stunned. They waited expectantly for the operating room’s door to open.
A doctor first walked out of the room. Valeria immediately stepped forward and asked, “How is he? How is he right now?”
Tyler followed. “Doctor, how is Mr. James? Is he alive?”
The doctor took off his mask and shook his head weakly.
This action made Valeria’s heart turn cold. She could not even stand steadily. Tyler hurried to hold her up.
“Say something! What’s going on?” Valeria could no longer hold back her emotions and shouted at the doctor.
The hospital was already very quiet. Valeria’s words even echoed in the hallway. The situation seemed hopeless and helpless.
The doctor was shocked by her angry shouting, but he calmed down and said, “He has recovered his vital signs. Although he’s still alive, his injuries are too severe, so we can’t tell you exactly when he will wake up.”
With that, the doctor turned around and left.
Valeria stood rooted to the ground in a daze. Tears streamed down her face, one after another, like pearls on a broken string.
After a while, the door to the operating room was opened. The medical staff pushed a bed out.
Valeria was the first to walk over. She cried, “Hackett, wake up. Look at me. I beg you… Don’t be like this…”
“Mrs. James, please be quiet. This is a hospital. Mrs. James, calm down…”
No matter how the medical staff tried to talk to her, Valeria could not control her tears.
The moment Valeria saw Hackett, she felt like her heart was about to tear apart. It was too painful.
The man’s body was plugged with medical instruments and he was wearing an oxygen mask. His face was pale as if he was no longer alive.
Valeria wanted to rush over and touch Hackett’s face, but she was stopped by Tyler. “Calm down. Mr. James is going to the
intensive care unit now.”
“I want to go in and see him…” Valeria knelt on the floor in despair. She covered her mouth and cried.
She knew that she had to be strong because she had to bear a lot of responsibilities at times like this. However, when she saw

Chapter 407-
Hackett’s appearance, she really couldn’t bear it.
In the intensive care unit.
After repeated requests from Tyler, the doctor allowed Valeria to enter the intensive care unit in protective clothing for a short period of time.
Valeria stood in front of the bed and looked at Hackett’s unconscious look. Listening to the beeping sound of the medical detectors, she felt that her whole world had collapsed.
“Hackett… Please wake up, please… Please promise me that you’ll be fine…”
He had already made a promise to her before he left. Why would it end up like this?
She already felt uneasy at that moment. If she had known earlier, she would have stopped Hackett from leaving.

Valeria held Hackett’s hand with trembling fingers and said over and over again, “Please wake up quickly. Alex and I can’t live without you. Neither of us can leave you…”
However, no matter what she said, the man on the bed did not have any reaction, as if he could not hear her at all.
Tears streamed down Valeria’s face as she sobbed. “Have you fulfilled your duty as a father? You’ve only been with your son for such a short period of time. Are you going to abandon him again now? Hackett James! Wake up quickly! I beg you, as long as you can wake up, I’m willing to do anything…”
Outside the intensive care unit.
Seeing such a scene, Tyler blamed it all on himself. If he didn’t fail to protect Mr. James, things wouldn’t turn out the way they did.
The James family was carried by Mr. James alone. Now that something like this had happened to Mr. James, wouldn’t the entire family be torn apart?
Those who had long wanted to usurp the throne were probably already on the move.
After a while, Valeria walked out of the room. Her tears were still flowing uncontrollably.
Tyler said, “Though Mr. James is unconscious right now, we have to do something for him. For example, we can’t tell anyone about his car accident. Otherwise, some people in the family will definitely take the opportunity to seize power.”
Valeria closed her eyes and nodded. Her voice was hoarse. “I know.”
She was really tired, mentally tired.
For the next two days, she stayed in the hospital and did not leave. However, Hackett showed no signs of waking up.
During this period, many people in the family called to ask about Hackett’s whereabouts. She replied that he had gone overseas to handle private matters. Meanwhile, people from James Group were looking for Hackett every day. Valeria and Tyler could only try to hold them up.
James Group was such a big company. All major projects had to be handled by Hackett.
Hackett’s life was no longer in danger. He was transferred to a normal hospital ward, but he still did not wake up. “Alex has been looking for you. Go back and accompany the child.” Tyler walked up to Valeria from behind. Valeria was not in the mood to go home at all. Even if she went home, how could she fool Alex with a long face?
She shook her head. “You go back and tell Alex that Hackett and are out on a business trip.”

“But we can’t go on like this. The child needs someone to accompany him, and Alex is very dependent on you, Tyler said truthfully.
Valeria did not say anything.
She simply didn’t respond. She just sat in front of the bed and stared at the sleeping Hackett. She wished so much that she could see Hackett open his eyes in the next second.
Tyler looked at her dejected appearance and sighed softly. Then, he turned around and left the ward.
“When exactly will you be willing to wake up… I know I’m tired, but you’ve been asleep for days.”
No matter what she said, the man on the bed did not move or respond.
Valeria could only sigh in despair.
She really couldn’t hold on much longer.
At the James Manor..
Tyler returned to the manor and told Ernest to take care of a few things. Then, he went to check on Alex.
Since Valeria and Hackett had not been home for the past few days, Alex had become much quieter. He was unhappy every day and could not go to kindergarten. He could only wreak havoc in the manor.
“Mr Alex has been very irritable these past few days. He keeps saying that he wants to see Mom and Dad, but Madam and Mr. James haven’t been back,” Ernest said.
