Chapter 182 The Strongest Team (1)

After Zoe woke up, the Horton family called a doctor and had Zoe’s body examined again.

“Sir, Miss’s health is not seriously affected. She might have been startled, so she has a slight cold. Rest more, eat, sleep, and take medicine on time. She will gradually recover.”

Upon hearing the doctor’s words, the Horton family felt slightly relieved.

Reese relaxed a bit and, while letting Zoe rest, he hesitated a little, wanting to approach Valerie for a conversation.

After struggling for a while, he still chose to go up and talk to Valerie.

“Ms. Bowman… It’s already late at night, aren’t you going to rest?”

“Mr. Horton, please rest assured that I will go back to rest after someone finishes working in the living room in the early morning.”

Doesn’t that mean we have to stay up until three or four o’clock?

The whole family was in Zoe’s room, but Valerie was standing alone at the door.

A person straightened their back.

Staring straight at the pitch-black sky outside the window.

I didn’t know what he/she was thinking.

“How about taking turns to stay in the little girl’s room? Rest is the most important thing if you are the one protecting.”

Reese softened her tone.

Seeking and asking Valerie.

After thinking for a few seconds, Valerie, not being overly dramatic, agreed to Reese’s proposal.

Why would anyone refuse to have a good sleep when they have the time? Only a fool would reject it.

Valerie was also not polite; she turned around directly and went back to her own room.

“Thank you for your concern, Mr. Horton. I will take my leave now, but I will come back when the time is up. You don’t need to worry.”

“Ms. Bowman, I…”

Reese wanted to take this opportunity to talk more with Valerie, but Valerie didn’t give Reese any chance.

He left Zoe’s door in big strides.

Went to wash up and rest.

They were left awkwardly standing in the same spot.

“Okay, okay, let’s also arrange a schedule for taking turns.”

Reese cleared his throat to ease the tense atmosphere and began to make arrangements.

Valerie then returned to her own room, locked the door and windows, and slowly freshened up before lying down on this unfamiliar bed.

I have a memory of this room, but I have never stayed in it before.

“Val, drink a cup of warm milk before bedtime.”

“Val, it’s getting cold at night, so cover your stomach a bit, okay? Otherwise, you might catch a cold and have diarrhea.”

“Val, I turned off the lights for you, just lie down.”

“Goodnight Val, see you tomorrow morning.”

Derek’s gentle and handsome face, along with his three-dimensional magnetic voice, appeared in Valerie’s mind.

In the Fisher family, their older brother and grandfather used to come to visit them at night.

She also knew that when Derek went to the army, he asked his family to help take care of himself.

So for the two years that he was gone, Valerie felt that she could get through it.

But when I was alone in the guest room of the Horton family, it was so quiet lying there.

With eyes wide open, I looked at the pitch-black room, there was not a single movement or sound.

Valerie realized that her longing for Derek was so deep.

Her nose tingled, and she reached for the air conditioner on her body.

After a while, she suddenly lifted the covers and dived into the bed.

I listened to the sound of the air conditioner outside while lying in bed.

Mulling over in my mind.

The more she thought, the more she curled up.

She missed home a little.
