Perfect Mysterious Husband (Maddox and Kimberly) novel Chapter 1457

Vera slept through the day. It was already night by the time she woke up.

That was the most rested she had been since the incident.

Mabie had stayed by her side throughout the day. Although she was bored and extremely sleepy, she did not walk away.

She was afraid of waking Vera up. After all, her daughter had not had a good night's sleep ever since the incident. She was afraid that her movements might jolt her awake..

Mabie was aware as soon as Vera woke up.

"Vivy, you're awake?"

Her voice was soft when she spoke to her. She was afraid that she might be frightened if she spoke loudly.

"Mom."

Vera gently lifted her head and sat up. She looked at Mabie with a pair of confused eyes. "How long have I been asleep?"

"You've been sleeping for the entire day. Are you hungry? I'll make you some food."

Vera didn't have any appetite to eat initially, but she suddenly became hungry after hearing Mabie's question.

She realized that she was famished. She nodded and said, "Okay."

Mabie was exhilarated when she heard that Vera finally agreed to eat. She immediately got up and prepared to cook for her.

Vera looked around and found that they were the only two people in the room.

"Mom, where is Quill?"

She remembered seeing him before she fell asleep. Mabie thought that it wasn't necessary for him to stay as she was there to accompany her as well.

"Child, Quill has been by your side for so many days. He had not slept at all, so he needs some rest. Why don't you let him rest for a while?"

Vera's heart was filled with guilt as she heard what her mother said.

First, it was the fire, and then her unstable mental state had kept Quill up for the past few days. She recalled his appearance before she went to bed. His eyes were bloodshot, and there were dark circles under his eyes. Even his usually clean shaven chin was filled with stubble.

He, who usually looked neat and tidy, had gotten so unkempt and tired because of her.

She bit her dry lips and said, "Alright, Mom. I'm not looking for him. I just wanted to know how he was."

"Quill has sacrificed so much for you recently. Thankfully you're alright. Hopefully it won't happen anymore. Your dad and I are old, so our hearts can't bear such a fright."

"It won't happen again, Mom. Don't worry. I will take care of myself in the future. I'll manage my emotions carefully."

"That's good." Mabie reached out and touched her daughter's head tenderly. "I'll prepare food for you now."

"Okay."

As Mabie left the room, she bumped into Quill at the door.

"Quill! Why are you back so soon? You should rest more."

As she finished her sentence, she noticed that something was amiss. He was still wearing the same clothes from the day before, and he looked even worse than before. The dark circles under his eyes were even more prominent.

He had not been asleep at all. Where had he been all day?

He answered calmly, "I've rested well. Leave this to me. You can have a rest now, Mom."

Mabie waved her hand and said, "You guys go ahead. I'll prepare some food for her and send it over later."

Vera looked outside expectantly when she heard Quill's voice. When she saw him walk over, she quickly lifted her quilt and got up. He took a few quick steps forward and held her hand.

"Alright, I know you want me to get some rest. I will only cause more worry if I don't leave, right?"

"You know this already. What are you waiting for?"

"I just want to spend more time with you."

She blinked her eyes. "Before you go to bed, can you tell me what you did during the day?"

His smile disappeared, and there was an eerie coldness that appeared momentarily in his eyes. It disappeared as quickly as it had appeared.

She wondered if she had mistaken the look in his eyes.

"What are you thinking about? I'm going to rest. If you're worried, I'll rest for a few hours and come back later."

Vera nodded immediately and said, "Okay, then go get rest quickly."

Quill returned to his room after her persuasion. He washed his face and then laid down to rest. It had been a long time since he had slept, and he found it difficult to fall asleep. His eyes were sore and dry, and it felt painful when he closed them.

He was exhausted, yet he couldn't fall asleep.

There was only one reason he went out that day. He wanted to deal with the things that he had not been able to deal with before. Anyone who tried to harm Vera had to pay the price.

No, those who tried to harm her had to pay the price ten times over.

It was naive for the person to think that he could escape all the responsibilities after he was imprisoned. Of course, Quill wouldn't let him off the hook easily. This was the first time that he had had the intention to kill. However, he wouldn't actually kill anyone as he knew could be punished by law.

However, there were thousands other ways to make one suffer.

That person almost cost him his wife and child. He had to make him lose everything he had ever owned.
