Perfect Mysterious Husband (Maddox and Kimberly) novel Chapter 1456

In reality, the matter was serious.

Quill was afraid of fire in the past. Whenever he saw flames, the traumatic experience would haunt him again. Therefore, he was faced with a dilemma when Vera was caught in fire that day.

However, it was also because of her that he was forced to overcome his fear.

However, he did not expect that she would not be able to walk out of it.

Was God testing them?

However, no matter how big God's test was, as long as it was not a separation between life and death, he was willing to go through it.

Despite this, he had to ensure her safety.

Hearing Quill's words, Vera struggled to escape, but he tightened his grasp on her hand.

"You don't have to run nor be afraid. There is no more danger and we are all safe now. As long as you and the child are safe, we can live peacefully for the rest of our lives. However, if something happens to you, what will become of the child and me?" "Don't go on like this, okay?"

She still said nothing, but there were tears in her eyes.

"Do you know why I never wanted a birthday party? Because when I was a child, I insisted on throwing one and it caused my father to die in a fire. That accident caused me to be traumatized for many years. Thus, when you threw me a birthday party that day, the flames of the candle brought the past memories back. Also, when I rushed into the fire to save you, I was afraid that I wouldn't be able to walk out of it, but I was even more afraid that you would die in the fire like my father. That's why I will never let the past repeat itself. Actually, you have saved me. You have helped me overcome the fear of mine, but you paid for my mistake instead. You became traumatized with it now."

As he revealed more, her lips began to tremble.

Her heart was touched at first because of the child. Later, it was because Quill took the initiative to confess to her about the issues with his birthday. Although the incident had happened quite some time ago and Vera had accepted it, she still appreciated the fact that he was honest with her.

She did not want to tear open his wounds again.

But now he chose to tell the truth.

It was as if he had voluntarily opened up his wounds to her.

Hearing that his father had died in a fire on his birthday, Vera could imagine the horrible experience Quill had to face when he rushed in to save her from the fire.

She knew that he was afraid of fire, but he still rushed in to save her despite his fear and his safety.

If anything went wrong during that time, he would have died instead. It was obvious that Quill viewed her as more important than himself.

Tears streamed down her face quickly. From the time Vera was caught in the fire until she woke up from her unconsciousness, she had never shed a single tear. She just had nightmares daily, and it caused her all kinds of painful emotions.

However, now, after hearing his words, her tears flowed down fast. It trickled onto the back of his hands.

Her heart ached, as if something had chewed on it. Her emotions became incredibly uncontrollable.

He reached over and hugged her from behind, and her tears broke loose.

"I'm so scared, I really am! When I saw you charging through the flames, I thought that the three of us were going to die." "No, I won't die, nor will I let my child die."

He tried his best to comfort her.

Vera cried so much that Quill's collar was soaked with her tears. However, he felt relieved that she was showing her emotions.

That was because once she cried, the depression and coldness in her heart would gradually melt away. He felt that Minerva was really dependable. After all, she was a woman too and would understand Vera better than he would. If there was anything in the future that they couldn't understand, they would seek Minerva's assistance again.

Vera cried loudly for a few minutes before gradually turning into quiet sobs. Not long later, she fell asleep in Quill's arms.

As a result, she felt helpless and useless as Vera's mother.

David also nodded and said, "You are right. You have to be in good shape before you can take care of Vera so you should still take a rest. You should eat something. If you can't cope, just let us know. Do you understand?"

"Yes."

Vera slept deeply for five hours without nightmares. It was the first time ever since the fire she was able to rest soundly.

Mabie was surprised when she watched over her.

After making sure that Vera's condition was stable, she said to Quill, "Take a rest. Vivy's current situation looks quite stable. I'll take care of her."

He turned to look at Vera and pursed his thin lips, thinking about what David had said.

You have to take care of yourself first, then you can take care of Vera.

He had not slept for several days. His eyes were bloodshot, so it was time for him to have a rest.

"Well, I'll go have a rest now. Mom, thank you for your help."

"Go ahead, go ahead. Sleep a little longer. Take as long as you need."

After that, Quill left the room, but he did not return to the bedroom. Instead, he took the keys and went out.

His eyes were bloodshot, but they were very cold as he made a call, "How's the investigation going?"
