Marrying The Supposed Gold Digger (Valerie) novel Chapter 760

"Valerie, are you okay?" Katherine approached, noticing how much thinner she looked and feeling concerned.

Valerie raised an eyebrow. "I'm fine, just worried about Matthew. I just spoke with my brother, asking him to help locate him. The communication network in Wakanda is down, so I can't reach out from here. I'm relying on them to find him locally and hope they can do it quickly." During this time, Valerie couldn't hold back her worry for even a moment. If it weren't for Sophia and Hugo, she would have already gone there herself.

After speaking, Valerie noticed Katherine's calm demeanor, which seemed like she had truly moved on. Seeing this, Valerie felt a sense of relief.

Katherine nodded and asked, "So, what's the plan?"

Valerie shook her head. "The situation in Wakanda is very tense right now, and there's no news yet. My brother said the only option is to rely on acquaintances there. The Cabrera family has significant influence in that region."

Katherine nodded, thinking, 'Yes, we can only rely on the Cabrera family.' She then smiled, bringing over a gift. "Valerie, I bought some gifts for Hugo. I've been resting since I came back, and today I finally have some free time to visit the both of you!"

"That's so nice of you, thank you," Valerie said.

"Valerie, you don't need to thank me! Remember, we agreed that if you had a baby, I'd be the godmother. Now that I'm finally here, don't tell me you're going to go back on your word!" Katherine said.

Valerie smiled and immediately picked up Hugo. "Of course not! Hugo, look, this is your godmother, Miss Katherine!"

Valerie held Hugo's tiny hand and waved it toward Katherine. Just then, Hugo opened his eyes, his big, round eyes focusing on Katherine. He gave a little smile and made a soft sound of acknowledgment.

Katherine was thrilled, "Valerie, he heard us! Look, Louis, he even made a little sound!" Katherine excitedly pulled Louis over. As he saw the baby, Louis felt a soft warmth in his heart. When Hugo grasped his finger, it touched a tender spot deep inside him. It was a truly magical feeling.

Louis looked down at Hugo, and Hugo's pure, clear eyes made him think of Matthew. He couldn't help but say, "We owe you and Matthew a big thanks. If it weren't for us, he would have been here with you by now. I'm sorry."

Valerie shook her head. "There's no need to apologize. We're all friends. And Matthew would never regret it. Helping Katherine was our choice, so don't feel burdened. Once he returns, we'll celebrate together!"

As Valerie spoke cheerfully about celebrating when Matthew returned, Louis felt an increasing heaviness in his heart. The fact that Matthew was trapped in Wakanda because of the Santos family's issues made him feel a deep sense of guilt. If anything were to happen to Matthew because of this, he would never forgive himself. The innocent gaze of Hugo only deepened his internal struggle, leaving him at a loss for how to face the situation.

Katherine broke the silence and the awkwardness, "I believe he will come back safely. With Valerie and Hugo around, he won't give up easily." She smiled and added, "Look, he's looking at you. Hugo has a bright gaze; he's going to achieve great things in the future!"

Louis was busy at the company, and Katherine went home alone. On her way home, Katherine received a call that urgently directed her to the hospital. After returning from abroad, she went straight to the hospital for check-ups, but several of the test results from her previous examinations were still pending.

Upon arriving, Katherine noticed the doctor's hesitant demeanor, which immediately alarmed her. "Is something wrong?" she asked, trying to steady her voice. "Don't worry about me; I'm strong enough to handle it. Just tell me what's going on." She thought, "Even if it's something as severe as a terminal illness, I'll accept it."

The doctor shook his head. "It's not anything major, but there are a few minor issues in your blood tests. Have you been experiencing any discomfort or issues related to your endocrine system?"

Katherine thought for a moment and realized something. "My period has been delayed by over half a month. Could that be related? Also, I was given some restricted medication while I was abroad—might that have affected my cycle?"

The doctor looked at her and said, "It would be best to have a more detailed examination to determine what's going on."

Given how Dale's live broadcast created such a stir, it's hard to imagine anyone not knowing about her abduction. A beautiful young woman like her being kidnapped and mistreated abroad was almost to be expected.

Katherine felt a jolt of shock. She thought, 'Could it be that the night I spent with Julian was enough for something to happen?'
