Chapter 474
Valerie had no idea where Ethan had <b>tossed </b>her phone, leaving her unable to call the police or contact <b>anyone</b>.
Valerie was disoriented and stumbling, feeling feverish and unsure of her location. She urgently needed <b>to </b>find somewhere to borrow a phone and call Matthew.
However, <b>this </b>town was remote and sparsely popted, far from the bustling city. <b>asionally</b>, early risers would set up stalls, but when they saw Valerie covered in blood and stumbling, none dared to approach her.
Valerie spotted a passerby <b>and </b>mustered her courage to ask, “Excuse me, could you lend me your phone to make a call?”
As soon as she spoke, the passersby were frightened and avoided her. She begged three people in a row, but they ignored her. Valerie’s heart sank, She nced down at herself–she was covered <b>in </b>blood. No wonder everyone was afraid to get involved, right?
However, Valerie waspletely drained. If she kept going, she’d copse before anyone could even reach her.
Looking around, she spotted a pharmacy up ahead. Valerie walked in
flicker of hope.
Feeling dizzy from the fever, Valerie entered the pharmacy and hurriedly approached the shop assistant. “Could you help me with some fever medicine! I’ll pay for it, she asked desperately,
She pulled out the money, stained with blood, <b>which </b>startled the shop assistant. As soon as the assistant saw <b>Valerie </b>covered in blood, she panicked and waved her hands, saying. “Please, you need to leave. I can’t sell you any medicine.Property ? of N?velDrama.Org.
The shop assistant was on the verge of calling the police. Valérie took a <b>deep </b>breath, her throat parched. Just as she prepared to speak, footsteps echoed near the door. A man dressed in ck happened to enter the shop.
“Have you seen this woman before? The man pulled out a photo and showed it to the shop assistant. The shop assistant found it quite striking. As she pondered. Valerie forced herself to nce at the photo and was immediately shocked–it was her in the picture.
Valerie quickly turned her head to size up the man in ck again. He was dressed in a ck suit <b>and </b>a windbreaker. I bet he’s sent by Matthew to find me, she thought to herself
Remembering she had seen someone dressed simrly next to Matthew before. Valerie quickly seized the <b>man’s </b>attention. I’m the one <b>you’re </b>looking for!”
The man gave her a skeptical look, as if he couldn’t quite believe it Valerie swiftly wiped her <b>face </b>and said, “Listen, I’m Valeriet Did Matthew send you!
The man in ck seemed momentarily surprised. Then, he <b>nced </b>at the photo and smiled. That’s right. I’ve finally found you, Miss <b>Warren </b>Hease follow me!
Valerie shook her head. “Hold on. I have a fever. Let me get some medicine first..
The shop assistant stood stunned on the side, <b>feeling </b>like she was watching a drama unfold. She hurriedly fetched the medicine for Valerie. After taking the medicine and a sip of water, Valerie felt relieved
Just as she was about to <b>ask </b>the man in ck how he found her, she heard him say, “Miss Warren, let’s get you out of here. Mr. <b>Grant </b>has been desperately searching for you!”
“Matthew is here too she asked<b>, </b>surprised.
The man nodded immediately. “Yes, I’ll <b>take </b>you to see him.
Hearing his words, Valerie rxed and followed the man to <b>his </b><b>car</b>. As they seuled in, she asked, “Could you lend me your <b>phone</b><b>! </b><b>I </b>need to call Matthew”
ly worried. She needed to let him <b>know </b>she was safe and tell him <b>not </b>to worry.
She had been out of contact for so long. Matthew <b>must </b>be really because she was on her way to see him now.
Valerie had never felt this excited before. She couldn’t wait to see Matthew,
But the man in ck paused
But the man in ck hesitated, w i puzzled Valerie. “Is something wrong?” s
she asked.
“Of course not, Miss Warren, the man assured her, handing over the phone, Valerie took <b>it </b>and thanked him, but she couldn’t shake a strange feeling. If this person was sent by Matthew, why does he <b>seem </b>a bit odd? a question popped up inside her head.
Her <b>instincts </b>unsettled her<i>, </i>despite the man’s <b>apparent </b>knowledge of Matthew. Just <b>as </b>she was <b>about </b>to fabricate an excuse to exit the car, iming the needed the restroom, Valerie suddenly felt a sharp pain and cked out.

<b>Valerie’s </b>eyes widened in shock the moment she
“Of course! If this isn’t Matthew’s guy, then who is hell Why would he want to capture me!!” Valerie hadn’t expected that after narrowly escaping Ethan, someone would try to capture her again.
Feeling the imminent danger, she pinched her thigh <b>hard</b>, trying to jolt herself <b>awake</b>. But after a day and night of running around and illness, the overwhelming fatigue weighed heavily on her. Unwillingly, she closed her eyes.
Just as she was about to ck out, Valerie grabbed a button from the man’s windbreaker and held it tightly in her <b>palm</b>.
