Chapter 10

Valeria was outside the emergency room in the hospital.

She sat in a nearby chair while she was waiting

Suddenly, there came low, hurried footsteps. Then she looked up. She found it was indeed Hackett.

Hackett wore a grim expression, and his tone was harsh. He asked, "What did you do to upset her? She has a heart

condition!"

After hearing what Hackett said, Valeria sneered.

Valeria realized that Hackett unconditionally believed Cheryl. He jumped to conclusions before even knowing what had happened. Hackett thought it was Valeria who did something to upset Cheryl.

"Why don't you ask your woman why she came to my office during working hours to cause trouble?" Valeria asked.

Valeria had had enough of these two and didn't want to see them. But Cheryl still had the audacity to go to her.

Just then, the emergency room door swung open. Then a doctor emerged and called out, "Who's Cheryl's family?"

Hackett stepped forward and asked, "What's her condition now?

"She has a congenital heart condition. And she appears to have been triggered. Her extreme emotional fluctuations led to fainting. She will be under observation for two days. Remember that, and don't let her get stressed again."

After the doctor left, Hackett turned angrily toward Valeria. Then he asked. "Do you have anything to say? What did you do to her?"

"Wait until your little sweetheart wakes up. You can ask her yourself.

With that, Valeria turned to leave.

She thought to herself, "How could I have known about Cheryl's heart condition? Why did she go to my office to seek trouble when she has a heart condition?"

"Ah!

Valeria had just turned when Hackett pulled her back abruptly. He pressed her against the cold wall. His long fingers held her chin tightly as he gritted his teeth. He said to her, "You can have a grudge against me if you want, but don't upset Cheryl Her body can't handle it."

Valeria was pushed against the wall, which caused a sharp pain.

"Hackett, how dare you arbitrarily blame me for upsetting her knowing the whole story? Don't forget she came to my office, not the other way around!"
