Chapter 117: Vera
Jeslyn and Maverick arrived at the place Vera said she was.
"Stay in the car," Maverick told Jeslyn.
"Ok," Jeslyn replied and dragged his coat to cover herself while patiently waiting for him.
A while later, Jeslyn could hear gunshots and a lady screaming. That must have been Vera. She thought. Her luck must have been huge to be able to remain alive in this abandoned and strange place. Jeslyn couldn’t stop wondering what Vera came to do here. There are no houses and cars don’t come here at night, so how did she get into such a mess? Was she kidnapped? Probably.
Soon, the gunfire ceased and Jeslyn could see Maverick coming over with someone in his arms. "Wow, this is good. I never thought he would ever carry someone in a princess style.
She opened the back seat for Maverick to place the girl on. After putting her down did Jeslyn realize that Vera was unconscious. Maverick’s brows were knitted and his aura thickened. It’s been a long she saw him like this. Jeslyn swallowed and didn’t dare to ask what the matter was.
Maverick got into the car and pulled out his phone to send a message. A while later Rex hurried over in his pajamas. He looked worried and his hair was messy.
"Send her to the hospital," Maverick instructed Rex and waited for Vera to be brought out of his car before he drove towards the glass house.
Getting home, Jeslyn couldn’t get down from the car. Her body was sore and she couldn’t feel her legs. She bit her lips and looked at Maverick who just got down and was walking around the car. He got to her side of the car and carried her out.
Jeslyn wrapped her hands around his neck and buried her face in the crook of his neck. She didn’t know why he was exuding a dangerous air. It was giving her goosebumps.
Inside the room, Maverick took Jeslyn straight to the bathroom and placed her inside the silk, took her clothes off, and helped her wash up. He did the same and returned her to bed before sleeping beside her with his hand on her waist.
