Chapter 777


    Pedro looked at Valerie and saw that she looked much better. He nodded a little happier than before and said, "Alright then. I''ll


    head back and get some rest. I''ll be backter."


    Valerie raised her hand, motioning him to hurry back and rest.


    As soon as Pedro left, Hendrix pulled me to sit by the side of the bed. "You two should talk for a bit. The IV is running low. I''ll go


    sort it out."


    Before | could reply, he had already left.


    As soon as he did, the ward fellpletely silent.


    | was used to the quiet. It made me feel at ease.


    Valerie''s lips parted a few times, and she looked as if she wanted to say something. Finally, she spoke, "He''s really nice to you."


    | knew she was referring to Hendrix, so | just sent her a nod and hummed in agreement.


    Along silence ensued once more.


    "| heard that Anne will be taking a trip to Hanlusia City with Josiah?" She asked carefully, as if treading on uncharted waters.


    | nodded. Looking at the messy lines on my palm, | started to feel myself getting a little annoyed.


    She paused for a moment and said, "You and Hendrix are at the right age to have another child."


    | looked up at her, my sudden gaze catching her off guard. "I... I''m just worried about you," she stammered.


    | could not help but sigh.


    Why did things have to be this way? We were mother and daughter, but had to walk on eggshells around each other when we


    talked.


    But if we did not do this, how else could we get along with each other?


    Fortunately, Hendrix didn''t take long to get a nurse into the ward to change the IV drip for her, which greatly eased the tension in


    the air.


    When Hendrix came in, he brought breakfast with him, all of which were porridge. He looked at Valerie and said, "Madam


    Lawson, have some porridge. I''ll order you more food you like when it''s noon."


    Valerie nodded, thanking him.


    They weren''t familiar with each other, so they did not talk much. It soon became quiet again when there was no topic left to make


    small talk over.


    Fortunately, Yana dropped by for a visit as well, and brought a lot of things with her. She usually did not talk much, but when she


    did, she was like an unstoppable freight train.


    Thus, over the next few hours, Yana kept chatting with Valerie.


    Valerie was patient with her the whole time. When the fatigue finally set in, she fell asleep.


    Yana had to leave as well, since she had her child to take care of.


    Before long, Pedro entered the ward.


    Since Pedro was back, it was time for Hendrix and | to take our leave. We didn''t have anything to do, so we decided to go to the


    Roberts Group.


    In the car, Hendrix sneaked a few sideway nces at me. It was only until we reached the intersection that he asked, "Are you in


    a bad mood?"


    | paused for a moment and said indifferently, "| can''t exactly say that I''m moody. | don''t know how to describe it. We''re family, but


    we have to walk on eggshells whenever we''re around each other. It''s not exactly something to be d about."


    He pursed his lips and looked at me, "So, you''re choosing to let go and move on?"


    Looking up at him, | sighed, "Do | have a choice?"


    He shook his head, "No!"


    Laughter erupted from my saben


    "That''s why we have to (on

    He nodded, held me in his arms and said with a smile, "Yes, she would."


    We soon arrived at the Roberts Group.


    After parking the car in the basement, we got out of it and made our way into the office.


    Ever since my return to Jarold City, | had all sorts of scandals made about me.
