Marriage Resumption (Valeria and Hackett)

Wed, Nov 20

The next day, Hackett was in his office at James Group.

Hackett had not slept the entire night, sitting in his office and waiting for the results of the test. The cigarette butts in the ashtray proved how anxious Hackett was, even though he looked calm.Belonging © NôvelDram/a.Org.

Seeing that the sky was already bright, Hackett sighed deeply and stubbed our his cigarette. He leaned back in his chair. completely forgetting the scars on his back.

"Why is there still no news?" Hackett wondered,

Hackett frowned and impatiently picked up his phone to look at the time. It was almost six in the morning.

Suddenly, the office door was pushed open and Tyler rushed in, panting

Hackett sat up straight and asked impatiently, "How did it go? Are the test results out?"

Tyler tried to catch his breath as he walked to the desk, shaking his head. "No, Mrs. James wasn't a match either."

The anticipation in Hackett's dark eyes turned into disappointment, followed by anger. He pushed everything on the desk to the ground and roared.

Hackett couldn't help but curse. "Fuck! There's not a single successful match!"

Hackett wondered if this was the retribution that his mother always talked about. Hackett's father had already passed away, and his grandfather had also died wrongfully. Now that Alex had this illness, Hackett couldn't help but wonder if it was indeed retribution. "But why didn't retribution fall on me? Why let a three-year-old boy suffer?" Hackett thought.

Tyler added, "But we found one match!"

Hackett suddenly looked up. "Who is it?"

Hackett stared at Tyler and couldn't wait to know who it was. Hackett quickly searched his mind but couldn't think of who this match could be..

"They found the match in the bone marrow bank, but... I'm afraid he might not agree. Tyler suddenly felt a little dejected. Hackett said angrily, "The match was found in the bone marrow bank. Why wouldn't they agree? If they didn't agree to a transplant, why would they be registered with the bone marrow bank?"

"Calm down first. He's already in the bone marrow bank, so he would be agreeable to having a transplant. However, he might not be willing to donate to us!

"Who is this person?" Hackett asked.

"When I received this news, I immediately asked the hospital to contact the donor. Originally, donors and recipients would not be aware of each other's identity. However, the donor insisted on knowing who the recipient was going to be. When the hospital released the information, he said he was not going to donate....

Before Tyler could finish, Hackett roared, "Can you get to the fucking point? Who the hell is it?"

It's Harry Rogers

Harry Rogers.

Wed, Nov ZU

Hearing this name, Hackett's handsome face was filled with shock.

Hackett couldn't believe that it was Harry.

"Was this really retribution? Why did the one and only bone marrow match have to be the person who hates me the most in the world!" Hackett wondered.

Tyler's reaction was not strange at all because this was someone who would never agree to a test for Hackett. The personal grudge between Harry and Hackett could not be resolved.

The only thing they could do now was to wait for a new candidate from the bone marrow bank, but the most suitable person now was Harry. If Harry agreed to donate his bone marrow, Alex could receive a bone marrow transplant as quickly as possible.

For this disease, the sooner the bone marrow was transplanted, the better. Otherwise, Alex would continue to suffer.

Hackett sat there in a daze for a long time. Tyler couldn't tell what Hackett was thinking-

After a while, Valeria called. Tyler reminded Hackett to answer the call. "Mr. James, it's Ms. Sharp

Only then did Hackett come back to his senses. Hackett picked up the phone and said, "Okay, I'll be right there."

Hackett addressed Tyler directly. "Let's go to the hospital. Alex has been hospitalized."

With that, Hackett stood up, picked up his suit jacket, and walked out of the office.

Tyler followed closely behind.

In the hospital, Valeria had been explaining to Alex why he had to be hospitalized and why he was wearing a hospital gown However, Alex was older now and was not easy to deceive. Alex did not believe Valeria's words at all. "Mommy, why isn't Daddy here yet? I want Daddy to tell me the reason. You're lying to me." Alex said.

"Daddy will be here soon. Besides, I'm not lying to you. It's the homework assigned by your kindergarten teacher. They asked us to come to the hospital to experience what it feels like to be a patient."

Even Valeria felt she was talking nonsense, but she had no choice. Valeria could not tell Alex that he was sick and it was so serious that he had to be hospitalized for a bone marrow transplant. Alex grunted and looked at the hospital gown on his body in disdain. Alex kept wanting to take it off, but Valeria refused to let him

At this moment, Hackett arrived and pushed open the door of the ward.

They had chosen a VIP ward, so it was a single room. Alex was the only patient in the room, and they had even decorated it warmly and placed many toys for him to relieve his boredom.

"Daddy! Why do I have to stay in the hospital? Mommy said that it was homework assigned by the teacher, but I don't believe it.

The moment Hackett stepped into the ward, he saw Alex dressed in an oversized hospital gown that looked too big for his small body. Hackett felt like a hand had reached into his chest and gripped his heart tightly. It was so painful that he could not breathe. Such a young child wearing a hospital gown...

Hackett stood there in silence for a few seconds before walking over. "What your mommy said is true, so let's go home after we finish the homework here, okay?" Wed, Nov 20

"Oh? Then we'll have to stay for a long time. Mommy said that will have to stay for a long time... Alex looked disappointed.

Hackett looked at Valeria and lowered his head to pat his son's head with a smile. "It won't be long. We'll be able to go home.

"Really? That's great!" When Alex heard that he could go home soon, a smile appeared on his face, and he happily ran off to the side of the room to play with the toys.

Valeria stood up and pulled Hackett out of the ward. Valeria carefully closed the door, not wanting Alex to hear them

Valeria looked at Hackett angrily. "Why did you tell him that we'll be going home soon? How can we go home when we haven't found a bone marrow match for him? I've already lied to him so much. I don't want to lie to him anymore. How am I going to explain it to him when he can't go home? Am I supposed to continue lying to him?"

Tyler stood by the side in silence. Tyler could not say anything, he had to let Hackett personally tell Valeria the news that they had indeed found a bone marrow match, but the other party was unwilling to donate it.

"How hurtful would it be to hear that?" Tyler thought,

Hackett said in a deep voice, "We've found a suitable bone marrow. I'll go and talk to the donor tonight"

"What? So fast?" Valeria was shocked and could not help but laugh. "Are you going to talk to the donor tonight? I want to go too! Let's go together!"

Tyler raised his head in surprise and looked at Hackett.

Pyler wondered what Hackett was doing. Harry would never agree to donate his bone marrow, so telling Valeria this nove would only make her feel worse later.

However, Hackett said, I'll go alone. You stay here with Alex."

"No! I want to go with you! I want to thank him properly. I want to meet this donor personally!" Valeria stubbornly insisted on going with Hackett.
