Marriage Resumption (Valeria and Hackett)

Cheryl was dragged away by Tyler amidst her cries and protests, casting a hateful gaze at the receding figure of Hackett in her eyes.

This man must still love Valeria the most, willing to shield her een from sulfuric acid. Wasn't that love! However, the more Hackett displayed his affection for Valeria, the more hatred brewed in Cheryl's heart.

In the hospital, Valeria was having her wounds treated. Her injures were actually quite minor, just a few drops had splashed onto her arm at the time, and they were even through her clothing.

While the nurse attended to her wounds, she said, "How on earth did you two manage to get splashed with sulfuric acid? It's not something you usually come into contact with in everyday life."

"It's a long story," Valeria replied, not in the mood to talk right now. She wondered how Hackett was doing. The blood stains on his back looked pretty scary a moment ago. Hopefully, it was not a large area that had been injured. Seeing that Valeria did not want to talk, the nurse refrained from further questioning and diligently continued to tend to her wounds.

After a while, another nurse entered the room and said, "The one who got splashed with sulfuric acid on his back is your husband, right? His injuries are not light, but he's enduring the pain quite well. He did not make a sound when I was treating him. He's really tough." Valeria's heart skipped a beat, and she could not help but ask, "Excuse me, is he seriously injured? Will there be any searring?" After all, she had seen the bloodstains all over his back, which looked terrifying. Why did fate always work like this? Just when she was about to lose hope in this man, she found herself owing Hackett an even greater debt.

The nurse replied, "It's not too severe, but the area is quite large. He may have to sleep on his stomach for a month, and he might run a fever in the next couple of days, so you have to pay attention to the treatment of the wound. Having finished, the nurse left.

The nurse tending to her wounds said, "When you get home, make sure to disinfect his wound and avoid water contact. Don't eat spicy foods, maintain a regular sleep schedule, and he should recover quickly without any pigment deposits. His back injuries should heal." Valeria nodded and said, "Thank you, I will pass on the information to his family. He's not my husband. He's my ex."

The term "ex" piqued the nurse's curiosity. "Ex-husband? He's still so devoted to you, and he's your ex-husband? You must be planning to remarry soon, right?" The nurse thought that it would not make sense to not remarry if the man would be willing to shield this woman from sulfuric acid.

Valeria, however, said, "No, he's getting engaged to someone else.

The nurse was left speechless, and she didn't want to ask any more questions. Their love lives were indeed quite bizarre-Am almost engaged ex-husband who shielded his ex-wife from sulfuric acid. It was truly incomprehensible. After her wounds were taken care of, Valeria went to the room where Hackett was. He was supposed to stay in the hospital for observation for two days, and there was a possibility of running a fever.

Valeria stood at the door, wanting to go into the room but also hesitating. After all, there were so many people taking care of him, and the family's private doctor would be there at all times. She felt that she would only be in the way to stay.

Valeria turned and planned to leave silently, but she could not get past the moral dilemma. After all, she had been the reason for the sulfuric acid attack. As she was pondering whether to go in, Tyler, who had brought Cheryl to the police station and rushed to the hospital, approached her. Seeing her conflicted expression, not deciding to enter the room or leave, Tyler spoke up. "Mr. James got injured for your sake. You can't just walk away like this. You should at least go in and check on him.

MUSI, NOV Chapter 213

"I... I don't think he needs my visit. I'm sure he doesn't want to see me." She could not let go of the huntful words Hackett had spoken to her in the parking lot that day. He had already made it clear, and she felt embarrassed to linger here any longer. Valeria still wanted to leave but was stopped by Tyler. "You should go in and see him. He's in pain alone, and he can only talk to you instead of us. After all, you were once a couple, and you have a child together."

Valeria remained silent for a few seconds and then entered the room. Inside, Hackett lay on the bed shirtless, his back covered in medication. The numerous wounds looked daunting explaining the bloodstains on his shirt. It was painful even simply looking at it.... Hackett seemed to be resting with his eyes closed, and he did not look well. Upon hearing the door open, he opened his eyes and saw the familiar figure he wanted to see the most.Text © owned by NôvelDrama.Org.

"How are you?"

"How are you?

They both hesitated for a moment, they asked the same question simultaneously.

Valeria and Hackett stared at each other in surprise. They did not expect to spill out the same question in sync. Then she replied, "I'm fine. It was just a few drops on me. I will rest for a few days, but you're the one with the more serious injury to take care of? "Im fine too, just need to lie on my stomach for a few days. His tone was casual

d as if it was no big deal

Valeria frowned and said. "The nurse said it was quite serious. You might run a fever. Please take care..."

Before she could finish, the man interrupted her. The nurse was just trying to scare you. It's not that serious. I'll be fine after a few days of rest, too. If you have things to do, you should go back. Alex needs someone with him. He can't do without you at night." "Well, alright. There are doctors and nurses here. If you need anything... Halfway through her sentence, she stopped, feeling that it was unnecessary. Hackett would not call her even if he needed anything. He would call his fiancée, Elsie. Valeria chuckled at her own overthinking

"You should rest well. I'll go now," It was time for her to leave, just in case Elsie came and the situation became awkward,

If she witnessed Hackett defending Elsie again, Valeria might actually faint on the spot due to anger. It was not jealousy or envy. She just felt utterly foolish.

Valeria turned and walked out of the hospital room

Hackett lay on the bed, watching her departure. He wanted to say something, but he felt he had no right anymore. He could only let her go.

After Valeria lefi. Tyler entered the room and could not help but complain. "Ms. Sharp is quite heartless. After all, you saved her from the sulfuric acid attack, and she did not even stay to chat with you for five minutes before leaving!

Hackett remained silent, closed his eyes, and decided to take a nap. He had not been sleeping properly lately, and it was a good chance to catch some sleep. Plus, there was a lot of work waiting for him to get busy with tomorrow, and he could not afford to waste time here at the hospital.

Seeing him asleep, Tyler decided not to say anything more. He carefully examined the wound on Hackett's back that was exposed to the air, and thought to himself, "Tsk... Mr. James was indeed not an ordinary person to endure this without making a soundTM 2/3
