Chapter 188 Fire (1)
Since that woman finished the call, she didn’t do any more mischief.
However, she appeared more frequently in Valerie’s sight. In order to be cautious of her, Valerie would also keep staring at her.
But she didn’t do anything out of line, she just occasionally turned her head and exchanged a smile with Zoe.
Silly Zoe thought it was a lady greeting her, so she smiled sweetly and replied to the lady.
But Valerie’s face had already turned black.
Zoe didn’t understand, but that doesn’t mean she didn’t understand.
This smile, like staring at prey, was bound to succeed.
Valerie became more vigilant.
But the woman did not take action.
Three days passed just like that.
However, it was these three days when Zoe suddenly developed a fever and fell ill.
The family doctor came to check, and various fever-reducing medications were also tried, but the fever just wouldn’t go down.
“Could it be her old problem from before?”
“If that’s the case, then it’s necessary to go to the hospital for a check- up, after all, the medical equipment at home is not complete.”
N
Reyna and Reese were discussing, while looking at Valerie, seeking her opinion.
“It’s okay for you to go to the hospital, I will go with you.”
Seeing that the other party would go together, the couple felt a little relieved.
“Then let’s send someone to prepare the ward first, Ms. Bowman, please wait…”
Reese, up until now, still isn’t used to calling Valerie Ms. Bowman.
This biological daughter, in front of me, still has to call her by another
surname.
If it were in the past, he would definitely be dissatisfied, but now.
He dared not and had no right to be dissatisfied.
Everyone left Zoe’s room, leaving only Valerie there.
The woman at the door looked at Valerie, who was still standing, and furrowed her brow in confusion.
That little miss, she used to eat her own ‘enhanced’ meals every day, so now she has collapsed. But this girl, her three meals a day are always delivered by people from outside.
So there was nothing to do now.
Do we really have to use the method that guy mentioned?
After some hesitation, she finally stepped back…
The sound of knocking came from Zoe’s bedroom door, and Valerie immediately turned around.
The Horton family thought they had sent someone to take Zoe away.
But when she opened the door at that moment.
A sudden sharp pain left her stunned in place…
She opened her eyes wide and looked at the newcomer, who was the gentle woman with a smile.
“Miss, don’t blame me…
Suddenly, Valerie pulled out the small knife from her stomach, and the intense pain caused her to furrow her brow in agony.
When she was about to fight back, the woman suddenly grabbed the nearby small ceramic object and smashed it on Valerie’s head.
She fainted…
“Zoe… Zoe…”
Struggling to keep my eyes open, I wanted to see her, but unfortunately, the irresistible force prevailed, and I eventually closed
my eyes…
When she woke up again, she was indeed awakened by choking.
The billowing black smoke and scorching heat made Valerie slightly more awake.
Gunshots and the sounds of people fighting could be heard coming from downstairs.
Valerie shook her head to clear her mind, and in the instant she got up, the pain in her stomach shot through every nerve in her body.
She opened her mouth wide, stiffened her body tightly, trying to make
the pain less exaggerated.
“Valerie! Val!”
From a distance, it seemed like someone was calling me outside.
And it was Derry’s voice.
