Chapter 477
<b>Charles</b><b>, </b>inspired by Matthew’sposure, began to analyze the situation. “In <b>a </b>town like this, with so many empty houses and more
e men than women, a hairpin like this <b>wouldn’t </b>just be dropped by chance!”
<b>Matthew </b>added, “Plus, this hairpin looks like it just fell. If it had dropped yesterday, it would’ve been washed away by the rain. <b>Since </b>it’s still here, she must’vee this way recently.”
Charles couldn’t help but <b>admire </b>Matthew’s precise reasoning. His <b>sharp </b>thinking was something else.
Charles asked cautiously, “Sir, do you think this hairpin belongs to Mrs. Grani?“
Matthew nodded gravely. That’s very likely”
Matthew examined the hair clip in his hand, noting its style unfamiliar to him but typical of Valerie’s taste. The button attached to it intrigued him, Irading him to hand it over to one of his subordinates for further investigation. He immediately instructed everyone to follow this new lead and continue searching along this path.
They followed the trail right imo the heart of a mountain
Matthew followed the tracks all the way here. Suddenly, his heart tightened, and a strong sense of unease washed over him. Frowning, he quickly <b>made </b>his way up a nearby narrow path, Charles, rmed, called out, “Mr. Grant, why are you going that way? It’s dangerous!”
“Don’t hold me back. Get an ambnce ready? Matthew climbed up the mountain <b>hastily</b>, convinced that Valerie was somewhere up there, though finding her wouldn’t be
On the flip side, Matthew had a gut feeling about this path for some reason
Vallie, hold on, he whispered..
Matthew thought back to thest time he was in danger, recalling how Valerie had bravelye to his rescue. <b>This </b>time, he knew it was <b>his </b>turn to protect her.
Meanwhile, Valerie felt woozy from the turbulence and gradually woke up. Everything seemed hazy, like she <b>was </b>drifting in and out of <b>a </b>dream. It felt <b>as </b>if she was back in her childhood, sitting <b>on </b>a boat rocking on the sex. The sensation was unsettling and made her feel really ufortable. Finally, after what felt like an eternity, the sensation began to fade. She realized she had been taken out of the <b>car</b>. A gust of wind swept over her, sending a chill through her body, and she began shivering from the <b>cold</b>.
Valerie blinked drowsily and saw Matthew’s face looming before her. She took a deep breath and widened her eyes. “Mathew?”
But the face in front of her abruptly disappeared.
Valerie couldn’t help but smile wryly. It felt like she was hallucinating. Was this all <b>just </b>a dream? She felt a deep sadness, convinced that no one could find her at this moment.
Will I ever see you again in this lifetime, Matthew? she wondered silently.Content ? provided by N?velDrama.Org.

In a fogry haze, she reached out and grasped the person’s arm, <b>whispering </b>hoarsely, “Why?”
so just be gone!”
The other person sperred. “You don’t belong here anymore. Someone’s paying <b>to </b>kill you, so Before Valerie could react, she was pulled to the edge of the cliff, Looking down<b>, </b>she <b>saw </b>nothing but a <b>bottomless </b><b>abyss</b>. When she moved her feet, the gravel slipped away into silence, showing how deep it was.
She couldn’t help but cough. Dying in such a ce for no <b>reason </b>wasn’t something she had expected.
Poor thing Valerie sighed, cing her hand gently on her lower abdomen<b>, </b><b>seming </b>the tenaciouste life within.
“I’m sorry, baby. Mommy might not make it,” she added softly.
Just then, footsteps approached again, and there was Matthew’s face, appearing before her once more.
Valerie looked

Not many people treated her well in life. He was the only one who showed her unconditional love. Life had its bater moments, but meeting Mathew was a snull sweet spot in the bitterness. If she died now, it wouldn’t luve been in vain.
