Chapter 481
Olivia glanced towards the emergency room, her hratt already convinced that Valerie was the one.
She had been in Kranson City ever since fiveâyearâold Sarah disappeared. The two of them were not far apart
When Olivia thought about Sarah, who had originally come from a wealthy family but had suffered a life worse than animals with the Warrenâ family, she knew she would never have seen Sarah alive if not for her grand daughterâs cleverness. Now, Olivia had made her decision.
Sering that the old woman disregarded his advice, Matthew chose to remain silent. Yet, a trace of worry crossed his brow.
group of subordinates. âMom, I heard they found her?â
At that moment, there was a stir in the corridor as Oliviaâs second son hurried over with a gr
When Olivia saw him, she grabbed his l
chand happily and said, âYes, come quick! Sarah is back. My granddaughter is back
Owenâs gaze flickered towards Valerie, a moment of almost imperceptible surprise crossing his face. Then, his excitement mirrored Oliviaâs. âItâs wonderful sheâs back. Mom, letâs take a moment Come, letâs sit down and talk
He helped Olivia settle at the side. After wiping her eyes and composing herself, she said to Owen, âOwen, did you hear? Once Sarah recovers, weâll bring her back to the Anderson family. Weâll have a big celebration and announce to everyone that sheâs the missing Anderson child.â
However, Matthew felt compelled to step in. He stood up and gently said, âMrs. Anderson, please, letâs take things slowly. We still need to investigate further. What if thereâs more to discover in the village Valerieâs background has been a secret for so long, and weâve only just started uncovering clues. We need to proceed with cautionâ
However, Olivia was firm in her conviction. Thereâs no doubt about it. Why else would she and I feel such an immediate bond if we werenât related by bloodâ
Matthew understood Oliviaâs long search for Sarah, but he also knew the evidence was still insufficient
If Matthew were to tell Olivia that Valerie was not Sarah, she would likely be unable to accept it. Therefore, he realized they needed to wait a little longer. More importantly, he considered the windbreaker button and the identity of the person who had taken Valerie to the diff. Finding that person was crucial, and he hadnât yet succeeded.
Matthew was convinced that someone intended harm towards Valerie. If this person was targeting Valerie, possibly believing her to be Sarah. Matthew couldnât afford to take any chances until he pinpointed who was the mastermind behind it all.
But Olivia was overjoyed. She had waited for 20 long yearsâ20 years filled with anticipation. Now, no matter what others said, she refused to listen
Witnessing the scene, everyone was jubilant. Dr. Locke rushed over too. After more than two hours of resuscitation efforts, Valerie was finally stable
and safe.
The doctor stepped our and announced, âBoth mother and baby are safe and awake. You can visit, but keep it limited until the 24âhour observation period is completeâ
âThank God, theyâre fine!â Katherine joined her hands together and prayed earnestly to the heavens,
Sophia let out a sigh of relief. Im so glad the child is okay. Thank goo
goodnesst
Julian also breathed a sigh of relief. Thankfully, Valerie was okay. Otherwise, he wasnât sure how he would handle things with his parents afterward.
Only Matthew approached the bed before anyone could react,
âVallerâ His voice trembled slightly as he held Valerieâs hand figuly,
Valeneâs face was pale. As she opened her eyes and saw Matthew, she reached out and tenderly touched his face. It was a moment of real
âItâs orally you. This unit a dream,â Valerieâs hoarse voice started him.
Matthew nodded trassuringly âItâs mar, Vallie. Doy

just know someone knocked me out, and after that.
Valerie thought about it for a while before shaking her head slowly. âI donât really remember. I just was all a blank. What happened?â
She looked at her hand wrapped in gauze, still feeling a slight ache, and her throat was sore Valerie was momentarily stunned. It felt like she had just emerged from a very long dream. In that dream, a menacing figure had been chasing her relentlessly. She recalled running desperately until her feet shipped, and she plunged into an endless abyss
Seeing Matthew now, Valerie felt a bit bewildered
Matthew gently touched her face, comforting her. âItâs okay if you canât remember now. Take your time. We car

However, deep
his heart, he swore to protect her and vowed that this would never happen again.
The ordeal of Valeneâs disappearance was truly traumatic. It was understandable that her subconscious led her to forget it for her own wellâbeing
However, that didnât mean Matthew would let the mastermind behind the scenes off the hook
