Chapter 71
Chapter 71 Tucker Is Heartbroken
“Ah! Grandpa! It hurts so much!”
“What’s all this noise! Shut up! Weren’t you supposed to go back to the army? If Randal finds out you’re out like this...”
Galen looked at the suddenly appearing grandson in front of him, and his eyebrows were almost furrowed to the point of
deformation.
Came back again!!
Why do you love to mess around so much!
“I found out from Randal that the Horton family’s little girl came to our house!”
“What’s it to you!”
Unfortunately, Galen was standing at the door now, not making any loud noises and restraining his movements and volume so
as not to wake Valerie up.
“I knew I was wrong! Grandpa, I just wanted to have a look at this little girl!”
“What are you looking at? Don’t disturb her rest! If you want to see, wait until she wakes up in the evening!”
In the end, Galen couldn’t resist his grandson. If he had continued to disagree, he might have been constantly pestered by him,
asking him to let him in.
After he put it in, no one knew what he would do.
He still needs to be given an accurate number.
But this time, Calvin didn’t leave immediately. He clasped his hands together and looked at Galen with a pleading expression.
“Grandpa! Please! Let me just take a look inside!”
As he spoke, he walked into the doorway, really wanting to take a look at this promising candidate he thought highly of
Before Galen could speak, Calvin quickly held his breath and opened the door to the room.
Walking into the dim room, my gaze fell upon Valerie sleeping on the bed.
His footsteps visibly slowed down, afraid that stepping down would make a sound.
He came gently in front of Valerie, the little girl who could only be seen in the video yesterday, but today she miraculously came
to his house.
He looked at Valerie, who was breathing evenly, and suddenly reached out to wipe off a spot on her clean clothes.
Then, cautiously, he approached and tremblingly poked her cheek.
Hiss.
So slippery and soft, even smoother than Derek’s face.
He was just too thin.
“Calvin! Come out!”
Galen was furious and could only scold him in a low voice to come out quickly.
Valerie was sleeping lightly when she felt some movement around her. She turned her head slightly to look toward Calvin.
“This, Grandpa! She, she is waking up!”
Calvin was a bit flustered, and he quickly widened his eyes, seeking help as he looked toward the door.
Ramona hurriedly entered and pushed Calvin out disdainfully.
“Don’t disturb her rest after I told you! She is feeling very weak now, having caught a cold. What are you going in for?”
After Galen came out, he immediately kicked him in the butt.
Guilty Calvin didn’t say a word. He smiled awkwardly and hurriedly retreated to his room, planning to take a shower and rest,
waiting for Valerie to wake up.
Ramona came to Valerie’s side and skillfully tapped on Valerie’s little belly in rhythm.
This was a gesture that Ramona used to help Tucker fall asleep when he was little.
Dizzy–headed Valerie felt waves of warmth on her body, along with a comforting sensation.
She fell back asleep in a daze once again, and Ramona remained kneeling by the bed, watching.
Suddenly, she took out her phone, turned on the bedside night light, and started taking pictures of Valerie’s little face.
Her sleeping posture was really adorable.
Ramona took several photos before finally stopping. She then opened the Fisher family’s family group.
The last piece of information is that Galen took photos of flowers in the garden in the morning.
She chose one or two photos that she thought were cute and posted them in the group.
***
Tucker: What happened?
Raymond: Whose is it?
Steven: How adorable! Whose friend’s daughter is this?
Randal: She was Ms. Horton.
Tucker: Why was Valerie at our house??
Steven: What happened?
The family group suddenly exploded with commotion as Randal began explaining in the group why Valerie had appeared in the
Fisher family.
But Tucker, who had just come out of the hospital, refused to do it.
His slow footsteps suddenly quickened, and he returned to the nanny car.
“Hurry back to the Fisher family!”
“Ah, yes!”
The agent in the driver’s seat was completely stunned by Tucker’s excitement. Without saying a word, he quickly started the car
and drove toward the Fisher family.
Tucker looked at the photo of Valerie sleeping on his phone and suddenly had a bad idea...
The car stopped just outside the Fisher family’s house, and he didn’t even wear his coat. He carried it in his hands and ran into
the house.
“Mom!”
Tucker gasped for breath as he entered the room and saw Ramona in the living room, looking at Valerie’s photo.
“My son has come back.”
“Mom, what’s going on? Why was Valerie at our house?”
Speaking of this, Ramona’s face didn’t look good either, she was a bit torn about whether to tell Tucker or not.
After all, Tucker liked Valerie so much in the variety show, if he knew that Valerie appeared in the Fisher family like this.
She was afraid that his emotional excitement would once again be bad for his health.
Tucker saw that Ramona was not speaking and he knew that this matter was not so simple.
My own mother was worried about her complexion, and I could clearly see it. She believed that if she mentioned Valerie’s
situation, it would have a negative impact on her own health.
He took a deep breath and decided to set aside this issue for now.
“Never mind, Mom, take me to see Valerie first.”
“Okay, upstairs.”
This was the first time Tucker had been so emotionally expressive, and Ramona found it intriguing. She immediately took him to
Valerie’s room.
The door opened gently once again.
Tucker gave his coat to Ramona and carefully walked inside himself.
He looked at Valerie, who was lying in bed, feeling confused and worried in his heart.
He was also feeling unwell now, with a slight fever, so he was a little far away from Valerie.
He stood still for a while, then he approached and tidied up Valerie’s blanket once again before quietly leaving.
“Okay, Mom, can you tell me now why Valerie was at our house?”
“Tucker, promise Mom first that you won’t get too excited when you find out.”
Well, it seems that it was indeed not a good thing.
But he still nodded.
He was willing to accept.
Ramona also slowly spoke to Tucker, describing the scene when Lamar brought Valerie back in the morning, as well as Galen’s
analysis.
Tucker’s breathing became faster as he listened, and he pursed his lips.
“Mom, Valerie most likely ran away from home. And there’s one more thing you don’t know, the reason I got sick is also related to
the Horton family.”
Now it was Ramona’s turn to be puzzled.
“Did the Horton family bully you?”
This was the first thing that came to mind as a mother, Ramona’s tone became a bit stern, with a serious expression on her face.
He seemed ready for a fight at any moment.
Tucker approached and took the coat from Ramona’s hand, intertwining their fingers as they walked downstairs.
He spoke to his own mother with an unfriendly expression on his face about Bruce’s conversation that day.
Tsk.
Pah.
I felt like something dirty had entered my mouth.
Tucker’s expression was as disgusted as it could be.
His gaze shifted toward Valerie, who was sleeping upstairs.
The intense heartache made his nose feel sour.
Such a little child...
How outrageous must the Horton family have been for her to be so eager to leave home?
That was home.
