Perfect Mysterious Husband (Maddox and Kimberly)

She did not want to go back.

However this time, she still had Minerva's house to stay in after her resignation.

But she felt hollow inside.

Beanie was overseas accompanying his grandfather while Minerva was with Maddox. Out of the three of them, she was the only one left.

Vera felt lonely and she naturally thought of her family at a tlike this.

However, when she thought about how her father hadn't called her all these years, she felt aggrieved. She wanted nothing more than to go hbut she also did not want to be the first to give in. People tended to be frivolous when they were young. However, she did not expect her words to becthe result of her suffering.

It would be great if her father called and asked her to chnow.

All Vera did these days were eat and sleep. She felt like she had beca loser.

She felt miserable. She had never felt as lonely as she had been now. Coupled with the feeling of lovelorn, she felt as if she had been abandoned by the entire world.

Although it was an unrequited love.

Love was indeed troublesome. This was true. She should not have meddled with love in the first place. She was the one who brought this to herself.

Vera thought that it would be nice if someone was there to accompany her.

She turned over in bed and felt that the sunshine shining through the window was glaring. Vera got out of bed and closed the curtains, the room becdark in an instant.

She felt much more comfortable.

Vera walked back to the bed and laid down.

However, her phone suddenly rang. Vera was surprised that someone was actually looking for her.

Could it be Minerva? Perhaps it was Beanie? At the thought of this, expectation grew in Vera's heart. She checked the caller ID and found that it was her mother calling.

Mother? Why would she call her at this hour? Vera hurriedly answered her phone.

"Mom?" "Vera!" her mother's voice sounded anxious as if there was something urgent. Vera rubbed her eyes as she asked, "Mom, why are you callingat this hour? I told you before, I'm not going home." "Vera, you should cback as soon as you can." Sure enough, her mother had called her to urge her to go home. Vera curled her lips and did not want to answer. "Vera? Are you listening?" "Yes, I'm listening..." Vera answered casually. She laid down and covered herself with the blanket.

"You need to chno matter what this time. I know you're still mad after all these years, but it has been five years. You haven't chever since. Your dad and I didn't raise you to infuriate us." Vera was a little fed up listening to her mother's nagging. However, her current loneliness made her feel inexplicably warm. In the past, Vera would usually make up sexcuse by saying that she had work to do and hang up the phone. However, at this moment, she did not want to hang up. Instead, she listened to her mother's nags in the bed. "Mom, it's not that I want to infuriate you. You know how it is. He was the one who decided to end our father- daughter relationship. Since he does not want to acknowledgeas his daughter, why should I go home? Wouldn't it be unpleasant then?" "Your father is getting old. How can you believe his words? So what if he said what he said? Why can't you be more considerate?" "I want to, but I can't bring myself to do it," Vera replied.

"Fine, I won't talk about the past. Let's talk about today. You have to cback." Vera closed her eyes, turned over, and said depressedly, "I don't want to go back. Mom, I've told you countless times. I will only go back if he personally calls and askto go back. Or else, wouldn't it be shameful if I go back now?" However, her father hadn't been willing to put his pride aside and so did Vera.

She felt upset thinking about it. All she wanted was her father to personally tell her to go home.

When that tcomes, she would immediately go back without hesitation.

There was a moment of silence on the other end of the phone. Vera's mother sighed heavily as her tone grew heavy, "Vera, even if your father wants to call you, he can't do it anymore now." "What do you mean?" "He met with a car accident on the way back from work yesterday. He's lying in the hospital now." Boom...

She felt as if a bolt of lightning had struck her. Vera was stunned, she did not respond for a long time.

Her lips trembled and she could not say a word. Her mind was in a mess.

"Vera, I didn't care how unruly you wanted to behave before your father got into an accident. However, he is now lying in the hospital. If you still insist on being unruly now, don't blme for being ruthless." "Which hospital is he at?" Vera's voice trembled.

Her mother's mind went blank for a moment. After that, she told Vera the nof the hospital.

"I'll be waiting for you in the hospital." After she hung up, she grabbed her phone and keys and headed out without a second thought. She didn't even take her bag, let alone change her clothes. As she walked to the road, people started giving her strange looks but she couldn't care less about what they thought. As soon as she successfully hailed a taxi, she hopped in and told the driver the nof the hospital.

She had been anxious the entire car ride. Moreover, when they were met with a traffic jam, Vera felt disheartened. She kept asking the taxi driver how long it was going to take.

In the beginning, the taxi driver answered her patiently, but the last tshe asked, later he beca little impatient and immediately said, "Look ok at this road up ahead. It's not road. To that purposely chose this put it bluntly, I'm not sure when we'll be able to get there!" Vera waned after being scolded. She curled up her legs, lowered her head, and buried her face in her knees.

The taxi driver was stunned.

Was she serious? He raised his voice just a little and now she was crying?

The taxi driver suddenly felt a little embarrassed. He could only lower his voice and said, "Miss, I really didn't ET mean to yell at you, but as In

can see, there is a traffic jam up ahead. However, you can rest assured that you will make it to the hospital to you wil hospitaNt's just going to take a little longer than usual. Although there is traffic now, it's still not too bad. We will get through this in no time." Vera nodded silently.

When the taxi driver saw her current state, he did not say anything more. Soon, they managed to get through the traffic and arrive safely at the hospital. After Vera paid the fare and got out of the car, she saw her mother waiting for her at the entrance of the hospital.
