Chapter 602
Olivia did not say much. Neither did Valerie. She was still at the Anderson residence. She wanted to wait until she found a suitable doctor. She must find a renowned expert in the country.
After a while, the ambulance arrived and took Chloe away.
Valerie could not help but sigh. How did Chloe, who was cooking for her a few hours ago, have a mental health episode again?
She could not bear the thought, and tears welled in her eyes. Olivia sighed. "Dear, we're so embarrassed to let you see that! The Anderson family is helpless. Chloe has suffered for so many years. But, she still could not recover completely!"
Seeing Olivia's dejected expression, Valerie made up her mind. "Olivia, she's protecting me. I treat her as my mother in my heart. If anything happens to her, I won't sit back and do nothing."
Olivia was a little shocked from Valerie's words. "You're a nice person. We're lucky to have you. Come and accompany her more often in the future. Chloe has a tough life."
Olivia thought about herself. She almost faced her maker. His son has already passed away. She had lived long enough.
However, it was a different situation for Chloe. She was still young and always missed Sarah. She always hoped Sarah would come back sooner or later.
However, they had no idea how to cure Chloe's illness. Now that Valerie was here, everything was going toward a better direction. It gave Olivia hope. Valerie was determined to help Chloe recover.
Even when she went crazy, she did not forget to protect Valerie. Chloe was definitely the best mother in the world when she was cured of her illness. Valerie yearned for that warmth. No matter whom Chloe treated her as, Chloe's love for her was very genuine.
She would treat it as repayment to Chloe. Chloe loved her like her daughter. Valerie felt that she had to do something for her mother.
Valerie was certain that she had to help find a doctor. Thinking of that, she took a deep breath. She sent Olivia back to the room to rest. She would call Matthew when she was free.
She must look for a well-known expert for the next treatment. She did not have such connections, so she could only look for Matthew.
She had not seen him for a few days. She did not know how he was doing or if he had found any clues.
When Matthew received Valerie's call, Matthew's heart skipped a beat. He quickly asked, "Are you okay? How's everything at home?"
Valerie sniffed. "It's fine. It's just that Lincoln had came to look for me. I've temporarily avoided him by staying at the Anderson residence. Don't worry. Olivia and Chloe will protect me."
After hearing what she said, Matthew knew that something must have happened.
He could tell that Valerie was sad when she spoke. She must have been crying.
Matthew clenched his fists tightly. "Stay at the Anderson residence and wait for me to come back."
Valerie knew, but she could not stay in the Anderson residence any longer. After all, the Anderson residence was not her home.
Moreover, she did not dare to tell him that Fred had bullied her. Otherwise, Matthew would ruin everything if he rushed back. She understood severity of the matters.
Matthew secretly clenched his fists. When he returned, he would deal with the Grant family members!
They bullied his woman when he was not around. He had to settle the score sooner or later!
Matthew's voice made Valerie feel at ease. She could not help but nod. "I know. I missed you and wanted to talk to you. How are things on your side? Did everything go smoothly?"
"I'm..."
He paused for a moment before saying, "Don't worry, everything is going smoothly on my side. We just have to find that person."
However, Valerie noticed his strange behavior and could not help but frown. "Where are you, Matthew? Didn't you say that you would meet up at Wrexton? Why are you still looking for him? Is that person missing?"
Matthew knew that she was
observant. Since she had noticed it, he would not be able to hide it. He could only tell the truth, "I'm in
Qebriutand. But, don't worry,

Grant Group's quite well established here. I'm fine."
When Matthew said that he was in Qebriuland, Valerie's heart sank. That was a very dangerous place.
Gambling and drugs were rampant there. There were firearms usage and human trafficking. It was not a good place to go.
Television news reminded the citizens not to travel to Qebriuland and certain places for the time being.
Matthew was there at that moment. Valerie could not help but feel a little nervous.
She was about to say something when Matthew received a new message. He sounded a little anxious. "Vallie, there's new information. I'll talk to you later. Be good and wait for me at home!"
"Matthew, I..."
After hearing the busy tone on the phone, Valerie could not help but sigh. It seemed that she had to wait for him to come back first. However, she had to be prepared in case Lincoln and the others came looking for troubles with her again.
After hanging up the phone, Matthew looked at the person. "How is it?"
"Latest news said that Ethan has been found! He's just ahead of here. But, that's the common path taken by the human trafficking group!"
"We won't succeed if we don't take risk! Let's go!"
Matthew gritted his teeth. He had to go over.
They immediately followed the path, but they were stopped by the local armed forces not too far away.
Seeing the roadblock, Matthew frowned. He contacted a local guide and found out that they were not allowed to move ahead. There were drug dens ahead, and they were not allowed to approach.
Matthew was unwilling to give up. The clues would be cut off just like that. Ethan was definitely captured there. If they arrived a step later, Ethan would be died for sure.
"Continue. Tell them that I can pay for a team of people to follow me. The price is not a problem!"
As Matthew spoke, he observed his surroundings. Beside the narrow intersection, there was a dense forest. Cars would pass by from time to time, stirring dust into air.
Looking at those numb and sinister gazes, Matthew took a deep breath and was about to go over to negotiate.
Suddenly, a black car rushed over. The people at the checkpoint reacted quickly. Matthew was pulled to the side by the bodyguards. They heard a series of gunshots, then it was followed by sharp screech of car braking.
The atmosphere was filled with screams and cries. Matthew looked at the checkpoint.
It was a black pickup truck. Many people rolled out from the truck. All of them had hemp ropes tied to their hands. There were men and women, both
old and young. Their faces were filled with fear as they quickly fled.
From their looks, they must have been tricked by a trafficking group.
Amidst the chaos, gunshots were fired at the crowd.
Under the protection of the bodyguards, Matthew was hiding at the side. But, another car drove by. It was about to run over a child. The child's eyes were filled with fear. He staggered and fell to the ground.
Seeing the bullets coming at him, Matthew jumped over without saying anything. He hugged the boy and rolled on the ground to the other side of the
road.
"Mr. Grant, be careful!"
