Perfect Mysterious Husband (Maddox and Kimberly) novel Chapter 1020

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 time like 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 home but 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 become the result of her suffering.

It would be great if her father called and asked her to come home now.

All Vera did these days were eat and sleep. She felt like she had become a 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 became dark 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 calling me at this hour? I told you before, I'm not going home."

"Vera, you should come back 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 come home no matter what this time. I know you're still mad after all these years, but it has been five years. You haven't come home ever 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 some excuse by saying that she had work to do and hang up the phone.

"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 blame me 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 name of 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 name of 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 time she asked, later he became a little impatient and immediately said, "Look at this road up ahead. It's not that I purposely chose this road. To 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 mean to yell at you, but as you can see, there is a traffic jam up ahead. However, you can rest assured that you will make it to the hospital. It'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.
