Although it was not very loud, Everly was startled.
Everly choked on the water she just swallowed and began to cough.
Everly couldn't see out of one of her eyes now. She looked towards the doorway unconsciously but she missed it. In any case, she was not used to seeing with one eye.
The figure seemed to grow clearer in Everly's eyes.
In just a few seconds, Everly saw the man's face clearly. All the emotions she had been storing up for the past two days seemed about to burst out at once.
Everly didn't feel aggrieved before, but now she felt indescribably bitter and felt like crying. She didn't know tears could come up so fast.
The doctor told Everly clearly that she was not allowed to shed tears.
But Everly couldn't help it.
Her vision went from clear to blurry.
Everly bit her lip, and even bowed her head before she could reach out to wipe away her tears, which fell on the back of her hand.
Everly swallowed and couldn't explain what the overwhelming, mixed feeling was.
Maverick was walking toward Everly. The familiar smell of him immediately reached her. Soon Everly felt thrust into a warm, firm chest.
For a moment, it became more difficult for Everly to control her emotions.
Tears quickly seeped into the chest of Maverick's shirt.
On the way here, Maverick was worried and anxious, but now he felt heartbroken.
He knew very well that he had never felt such a heart-wrenching feeling before.
"Does it hurt?"
Maverick felt that Everly was shedding so many tears that a large part of his shirt was wet. Maverick did not know how to comfort her. His voice was husky but sexy due to his fatigue from his all-night journey here. Maverick said in her ear, "I'm sorry. It's my fault. I didn't protect you. Does it hurt?"
Everly really wanted to say that it hurt.
However, the words died on her lips. Instead, Everly said, "No, it doesn't hurt."
Everly said in a broken voice, and it sounded like she was pretending to be strong.
Everly didn't want to be like that and she seemed to be hypocritical right now.
However, Maverick was holding Everly, and she felt as if she was being embraced by the whole world, and the sense of lost security returned.
As the tears welled up, it seemed that all her anxiety, hesitation, and self-reproach vanished.
However, even though Maverick knew nothing about doctor's advice, he was sure that Everly could not keep crying.
Maverick comforted her gently. "Alright. You can tell me anything you want. And I know how you feel. But don't cry. Your eye's hurt. You can't keep crying."
Everly grunted.
Maverick saw Everly was aggrieved.
When Everly nestled in his arms, his heart overflowed with tenderness.
Maverick really wanted to be with her.
Maverick wiped the tears from Everly's eyes gently and sighed. "It's my fault. It's all my fault. Everly, don't cry. Your eye's injured. You definitely can't continue shedding tears like this."
Maverick comforted Everly patiently. Although he didn't say honeyed words, Everly felt very sweet.
Over the years, plucking up the courage, Everly moved on defying all difficulties. Wasn't she tired of taking care of her son all by herself?
