Chapter Resumption 182
Chapter 182
It was obvious that Alex had just cried.
When Valeria saw this scene, her heart was broken. She immediately walked to the bed and picked up her son.
The nanny rushed in and shouted, "You can't take Mr. Alex away, I don't want to die!"
Barron had already instructed her. If she lost Alex, he would make sure she disappeared from this world.
"Fuck off!"
Hackett pulled the nanny away and walked into the bedroom. Seeing the tears on his son's face, he was furious.
He took out his phone and dialed Grandpa's number, and it connected quickly. All that could be heard was him shouting into the phone, "Grandpa! Are you playing the role of a kidnapper now? The child is crying like this. How long do you plan to keep him hidden in the secret chamber? If you keep this up, I'll have to send you to a care center."
Barron's puzzled voice came from the other end of the line. "How did you find my great-grandson? How did you know about this secret room?"
Hackett couldn't be bothered to talk nonsense with his grandfather now and hung up.
Then, he took his son from Valeria's arms and said, "Let's go."
Hmm... The moment Valeria saw her son, she could not help but rush out. She stood up and followed the man, preparing to leave the secret room.
The nanny wanted to stop them, but she was pulled to the side by Tyler. "Are you blind or what? If you offend Mr. James, you'll lose your life. If you offend this Mr. James in front of you, your entire family will be buried with you! Do not stand in our way!" he scolded her in a low voice.
The nanny was stunned when she heard this, moving to the side and not saying anything else.
Hackett carried his son all the way out of the secret room with an extremely sour expression, thinking that he had never hated his grandfather so much.
His grandfather had always been the one who doted on him the most, but this time, he had indeed gone too far.
As soon as he walked out of the secret room, he bumped into Mandy and Cheryl, who were walking towards them.
Valeria felt like a lifetime had passed when she saw the two of them. It had been a long time since she last saw them, and she had almost forgotten their existence. Especially Cheryl. No matter when she saw her, seeing this woman would make her grit her teeth,
"Hackett, what's going on? This kid is..." Mandy looked at the child in Hackett's arms and was confused. Could this boy seriously be from the James family?
Hackett was not in the mood to talk to his mother. He only said coldly, "It's none of your business. Go back and recuperate."
After saying that, he was about to brush past Mandy. When Cheryl saw Hackett, she wanted him to notice her. "Hackett, this boy does not look fine. Do you want me to call the doctor over? Dr. Wilcox just came over to see Mrs. James just now and hasn't left. Why don't we bring him over to take a look?" she said. As Cheryl spoke, she reached out to touch her son's forehead.
Hackett quickly dodged with his son in his arms and yelled, "Take your hands off! Stay away from my son! Don't you ever

dare to get close to him, or 121 kill you!"
His roar frightened everyone present, including Valeria, who was standing at the side.
She did not expect Hackett to shout at Cheryl in front of so many people...
Suddenly, Alex, who was in Hackett's arms, cried out. He seemed to be frightened as well, so he grabbed Hackett's clothes tightly and whimpered softly, "Mommy...
When Valeria heard her son's cry, she quickly walked over and held the baby's hand. "My boy, mommy is here. Don't be afraid."
After realizing that he had frightened Alex in his arms, Hackett gently and softly comforted Alex, "Alex, don't worry. Daddy is here. It's fine. No one will lock you up anymore." Without even looking at his mother and Cheryl, Hackett left with Alex in his arms.
Valeria glanced at them. She wanted to say something, but she decided not to after thinking about it. Knowing that her son was the most important thing now, she followed Hackett closely Only Mandy and Cheryl were left standing on the spot...
Mandy was shocked by her son's reaction, for she had never seen him so fierce to Cheryl.
Cheryl wore a visibly uncomfortable expression, her fingers clenched tightly. Her nails dug deep into her palm, but there was no sign of pain.
She stared at Valeria's back with hatred and gritted her teeth...
Neeb
"Cheryl, why is Hackett so cold to you now... Let alone love, I can even see his hatred. Is there some misunderstanding between him and you?" Mandy could not help but ask.
Cheryl immediately assumed a pitiful expression. "I don't know either... but ever since Valeria returned, she's been tryin stay around Hackett. Over time, Hackett has become distant with me. I'm truly innocent. Hackett constantly suspects me of kidnapping that child. You know me. I'm afraid of insects and ants. How could I do such a thing?"
Mandy instantly grew angry. "Humph, I knew that! That woman must have been filling Hackett's head with nonsense. How did my son become so confused, listening to a woman's word without any evidence? Moreover, we're not even sure if the child is really a James family member. We need to do a paternity test
"Mandy, I'm afraid I can't be your daughter-in-law. Hackett doesn't care about me anymore, nor does he care about my brother...
"No! I have to talk to him. He can't be so selfish. Has he forgotten how his father died?" Mandy turned around and left with a worried expression.
The grievance on Cheryl's face instantly disappeared and turned into hatred. If Valeria and her son stayed in Hackett's life. she would not have been able to stay by his side or even get close to him.
She didn't want this to happen either, but Valeria and that child were too much of an eyesore.
Only by making Valeria and her son completely disappear from this world could she be safe and happy.
Cheryl had already entered a state of madness, not able to accept that she had been abandoned so miserably.
She was determined to get rid of Valeria and her son.
Meanwhile, the other three left the manor.

They put Alex to sleep again, but he was still sleeping in Hackett arms. His two small hands were tightly holding the man's
tie.
"Put the baby on the bed. You've been carrying him for a long time. It must be tiring, Valeria said.
Hackett responded and walked to the bed. As he was about to put Alex on the bed, his two small hands grabbed the tie and refused to let go.
Alex pouted and groaned as if he still could not sleep well. Even in his dreams, he had an insecure expression.
Hackett's heart softened, and he sat on the armchair with the baby in his arms. "Let him stay in my arms for a while more. It's rare for him to be so dependent on me.
Usually, there was no such opportunity. This was the first time that his son was so dependent on him, which made him experience the responsibility of a father. Valeria nodded, and her heart ached as she looked at her son, who was held by Hackett.
She did not know what Alex had experienced that night. Why was he so afraid? It was rare for him to be so dependent on others. He was even so afraid of sleeping. That secret room must have traumatized her son.
