Chapter 273

"What about you? Any plans to make things official with Sherri? She's been patiently waiting for you."

Mentioning Sherri again, a hint of impatience flashed across Keh's face. Lately, he had been feeling cornered by her, and the thought of avoiding her had crossed his mind. "Do I need to formalize things with her? She was the one who led me back then. I didn't abandon her!" He sounded exasperated.

"Valeria, are you truly considering a reconciliation with him?" he asked, his lingering doubts escaping his lips.

Valeria hesitated for a moment, recognizing that it was about Hackett.

In the next moment, her expression suddenly changed, and she stood up abruptly. "What! Alright, I'm coming right away. Please take the child to the hospital first."

After hanging up the phone, Valeria grabbed her bag and prepared to leave. "The preschool teacher informed me that Alex had a nosebleed and has been taken to the hospital. I need to go there and check on him." With those words, Valeria was ready to leave, and Keith also rose from his seat. "I'll accompany you. Let me take you

And so, they drove together to the hospital, following the address the teacher had provided.

He had been eating rather bland food lately. "Don't dwell on it too much. Let's see what the doctor says when we arrive, Keith reassured her, sensing her anxiety,

She nodded in agreement and walked into the hospital alongside Keith. There, they found Olivia helping Alex with some medical paperwork.

"Alex!" Valeria called out as soon as she spotted Alex.
