Perfect Mysterious Husband (Maddox and Kimberly)

Vera spent half an hour in the shower before she finally felt she was clean.

When she came out from the bathroom wrapped in a towel, Mabie was sitting on the sofa, talking on the phone while wiping her tears.

"I didn't expect this to happen either. David is really unfortunate. He's still in the ICU. The doctor said he has to be hospitalized for 48 hours for observation..."

Mabie cried as she spoke. When she saw Vera come out of the bathroom in the corner of her eyes, she said in a hurry, "Alright, I need to go. I'm going to hang up now."

Then, she hung up the phone, wiped her tears away, and walked towards Vera. She stood in front of her and scrutinized her.

Her sadness had completely disappeared from her face.

Vera did not find it strange nor did she think that her mother was not concerned about her father. She cried because she was genuinely sad but now, she did not want to ruin the mood when spending her time with Vera.

Her mother had always been clear about what to

love or hate.

One moment she could be gloomy, the next moment, she could be cheerful.

Mabie had taught this to Vera from a very young age. She did not expect that... she would fall for a man deeply in the end.

Of course, Vera did not dare to tell these things to her mother. If she told her, she was sure that she would laugh at her.

"You look much better. What was that just now? The old gatekeeper downstairs would think that I was kind enough to let a beggar into my house."

Vera felt helpless hearing her mother's words. "Mom, we haven't seen each other for so many years. Can you please stop insulting me now that I'm here?"

Mabie blinked innocently. "What? I've never said anything hurtful to you over the phone. We haven't seen each other in so many years. Are you upset because I criticized you for a bit?" "Not at all!"
