In the room.
As soon as Valeria entered the room, she immediately closed the window and pressed the button to close the curtains.
Then, she locked the door.
She took out her phone and dialed Tia's number. It rang for a long time before it was picked up.
"Hello?"
"What do you want me to do by Lawrence's side? Where's the bay? I want to hear my son's voice.
Alex's voice came from the other end of the phone. "Mommy."
Hearing Alex's voice, Valeria's lifeless face finally showed some warmth. "Alex, are you okay there? Did you eat and sleep properly?"
"Yes, but Mommy, when are you coming to look for me? This pretty lady said that you'll come to look for me soon. Why aren't you here yet?"
"Wait for Mommy for a few more days. Mommy will be there for you soon. You have to eat and sleep appropriately, okay?"
"Okay. Mommy, I'm going to play with a little girl."
A little girl?
Where did this girl come from?
Valeria was puzzled when Tia's voice was switched back on the call. "How about that? Are you relieved? I didn't abuse your son. He's very happy here. As long as you do as I say, you'll be able to see your son soon." Hearing the baby's voice, Valeria could feel that he was in good condition.
But even so, she could not be at ease.
"After arriving in Emmerick, how do I pick up my son?"
"You'll know when you get here. I'll bring your son to you."
After saying that, Tia hung up the phone again. No matter how much Valeria called, she did not pick up.
Now, Valeria had to wait until reaching Emmerick to take further action. However, she was still a little worried. After arriving there, she would be alone. Could she really deal with that woman and Lawrence? At the same time.
In the New Raleigh state of Emmerick.
Alex was having fun with a little girl.
The little girl looked pretty and cute. She called out sweetly, Please hold this for me."
"Alright." Alex obediently held the doll which he didn't like because he felt like a big brother to her.
Tia and her mother stood outside the door while watching them

"You don't say, this little boy gets along well with our Abby. He's quite a gentleman at such a young age and knows how to be modest."
The corners of Tia's mouth curled up slightly. "After all, his parents are the elites of the upper class. Of course, they pay extra attention to teaching him manners of socializing." After all, this was the child of Valeria and Hackett.
In her eyes, Valeria was a responsible mother, and Hackett was not much of a playboy. She had always heard that Hackett was a workaholic among the rich second-generation heirs in Creyque.
Tia's mother could not help but ask, "Whose child is this? He's been staying in our house for a few days. Aren't his parents worried about him?"
Tia only said perfunctorily, "He's my friend's child. They have to take care of something, so they asked me to help take care of him for a couple of days."
She only hoped that Valeria could stay by Simon's side long enough so that she would have enough time to change her appearance to start a new life.
Four days later, Simon was ready to leave for Emmerick and booked an evening flight.
"You're not packing?" Simon asked while looking at Valeria who was empty-handed. She didn't look like she was going abroad. She looked more like she was out shopping..
Valeria said, "I didn't have anything with me since I first came here. What should I pack? Or can't the Lawrence family even afford daily necessities for me?"NôvelD(ram)a.ôrg owns this content.
Simon smiled. "You're right. We'll buy it when we reach Emmerick."
Hence, she followed the man out of the Mystic Lake Villa. Just as she walked out of the villa and was about to get into the car, she was stopped by a figure who suddenly rushed over. ""Mr. Lawrence! Wait!"
Valeria finally saw who the person in front of her was.
"Kaden?"
Kaden looked behind the man and saw Valeria. Didn't Valeria come last night? Why was she still here? Could it be that she hadn't gone back for the entire night?
"Why are you still here? You didn't go home last night? Is Hackett okay with you like this?"
Kaden was shocked. In his impression, Hackett was a possessive person with a domineering and ugly personality. How could he allow his woman to spend the night at another man's house? Or had Valeria and Hackett break up?
Valeria couldn't care less to talk to him. "It's none of your
business!"
Simon grabbed Valeria's wrist and walked toward the car. He glanced at Kaden coldly and said, "Get lost."
Kaden stood rooted to the ground. Before he could speak, he saw Simon and Valeria get into the car.
He could only beat on the car window with all his might. "Mr. Lawrence, wait for me. I really have something to tell you. I..."
Inside the car.

Valeria looked at Kader's face outside the car window and then turned to look at the perfect side profile of the man beside her. "Don't you want to hear what Kaden wants to say?"
"I don't want to. There's no need. I've achieved my goal. I don't lave time to waste on him."
Simon glanced at the driver. "Let's go."
Then, the car slowly drove away.
No matter how much Kaden banged on the window, he was still left behind. Simon refused to hear him out, not even a word.
"Mr. Lawrence!" Kaden shouted, but all that was left for him were the taillights of the car.
At the airport.
After arriving at the airport, Valeria found an excuse to go to the washroom and went to the ladies' washroom.
After entering a cubicle, Valeria dialed Tyler's number.
It only rang twice before the call was answered. Tyler's nervous voice came on the line. "How's it going over there?"
"I'm fine, but I'm leaving for Emmerick. After I'm gone, you take good care of him. Is he... awake?"
After asking this question, Valeria already knew the answer in her heart. If Hackett woke up, Tyler would have called her long
ago,
On the other end of the phone, Tyler was silent for a few seconds. This silence made Valeria's heart ache.
When would he wake up?
"Are you really going? Can you handle it by yourself?" Tyler's voice was filled with worry. He could not let Valeria go without worry, but there was no better way to save Alex at the moment. "There's no choice. This is the only way. You have to guard him until he wakes up."
"I know."
Valeria opened her mouth and said, "We can't leave him at a time like this. I'm afraid that someone will take this opportunity to take his life."
"I know. That's why I never left his side."
"Alright, that's it."
Valeria hung up the phone and sighed deeply.
Hackett was still in a coma. Her chest could not help but ache again, and a tear flowed out of her eye.
Back in the VIP lounge.
Valeria saw Simon sitting there with his eyes closed while resting. He opened his eyes at the sound of footsteps.
