After Maverick finished speaking, he bowed deeply once again. “I’m counting on you.”

Josiah heard him emphasize that over and over again. How could he not understand the cause of his worry?

Watching a once impulsive and proud elder repeatedly lowering his stance to plead for the future of his wife and daughter, especially to someone he once held in contempt, Josiah felt a crushing sadness in his

heart.

“I promise you, but… Lysander is very smart, and she truly cares about you.”

“I know,” Maverick said with a hint of pride. “Lysa has always been so considerate since she was little. Isn’t there a saying that daughters are always very considerate of their parents? Both my daughters are exceptional. Now that Lysa has you, I can somewhat put my mind at ease. But Mich, she’s always been a bit reckless and innocent just like her mother. I’m really worried…”

At the mention of his wife and daughters, he was suddenly reminded of his current physical condition. In that instant, he couldn’t continue anymore.

Wiping the tears from his face with his rough, large hand, Maverick gritted his teeth, trembling as he grasped Josiah’s hand. “I know this may not be appropriate, but… I have no other choice. If Mich is ever treated unfairly by her in–laws, can you please stand up for her? Lysa still has me, and I will risk my life to protect her and seek justice for her. But Mich, she won’t have her father to stand up for her anymore.”

By the end, Maverick’s voice was so choked with emotion that he could hardly finish a sentence.

Josiah remembered the wound on his forehead and gave a slight nod. “I understand. If anyone dares to bully Michelle in the future, I’ll make sure they get a taste of the same pain right on their forehead.”

Maverick smiled slightly as he chided, “You brat.”

“Are you at ease now?”

Maverick sighed heavily. “I know you meant well, trying to cheer me up. I think I’ve got a decent read you now. When you decide to be kind to someone, you go above and beyond.”
