Everly stood at the window at the end of the corridor and answered Maverick's call.
It was almost time for lunch. He asked her on the phone, "Have you eaten yet?"
Everly hadn't eaten yet. She didn't eat the food from the hospital now, which was not to her liking.
Gloria brought food over every day. Just now, she brought lunch. Everly could eat it later.
"My mother brought it here. What about you?"
Maverick directly told her, "I'll have lunch with my grandfather."
Everly knew that the relationship between Maverick and the Lamont family was not very good. Since he suddenly had lunch with Levi, she naturally thought of the recent events.
"Is it because of Sarah?"
"No." Maverick directly denied, "He won't take it to heart at all. It's just a meal. Don't think too much about it."
"You told me before that your relationship is not very good."
"Well, this has little to do with lunch."
"Well, are you busy in the afternoon?"
Maverick seemed to ponder for a moment before saying, "I have to go to the police station. I have to follow up on Sarah's matter at all times. If the police come to you recently, inform me immediately. There is no need to say too much. This matter has nothing to do with you, but they may ask you some questions."
After a pause, he continued, "If you don't want to deal with it, you can tell me. I will arrange it."
Everly said, "There's no need to go through so much trouble. I'm willing to cooperate with the necessary procedures. Now, everyone knows that she was murdered. In fact, I'm quite willing to cooperate with the investigation so that she can get justice."
"You can do whatever you want, but at this critical juncture, pay attention. Can you remove the gauze today?"
"Yes, the doctor will remove it for me this afternoon."
"Don't worry. Even if there's a scar, it can be removed. I will help you find the best doctor."
Everly teased him with a smile, "If I really have a scar, will you dislike me?"
"What nonsense are you spouting?"
"You are so eager to make me mend my scars."
Maverick was speechless. At this time, he couldn't find proper words.
In the end, he said nervously, "Everly, how could I dislike you? That's not what I meant."
If not for Sarah's sudden death, with Maverick's personality, how could he let her off so easily?
Sarah had injured Everly's eyes, so he would definitely fight back.
However, Sarah was dead, so it was meaningless.
Everly was amused. Only then did Maverick realize that she was deliberately joking with him. "Are you kidding me?"
"Are you really nervous?"
"I was afraid you would be unhappy." Maverick smiled and said, "In the past, I really didn't think that it was difficult to deal with women. Now, I think it was."
"Do you think it's difficult to deal with me?"
"No matter how difficult it is, I still want you. Baby, I will pick you up in the evening. Take Edmond and Candy today. There is no one in the Farley's now. I will talk to Edmond tonight."
