Perfect Mysterious Husband (Maddox and Kimberly)

Forty minutes later.

Everyone involved was brought to the police station. A few drunks kept mumbling for more alcohol while those who assaulted Vera were questioned separately.

Vera had completed her report with the police. She sat on a bench alone, and her face was burning in pain. A kind policewoman wrapped some ice with a towel and gave it to Vera to soothe her pain. Vera thanked her and quietly nursed her wound as she sat there.

Although she had been saved, she was still traumatized. The incident earlier was truly horrifying.

If... Ernest hadn't arrived, she would probably...

Thinking of this, Vera closed her eyes and didn't dare to imagine further.

Suddenly, her phone rang, and it frightened her. She pulled it out and saw that it was a call from the restaurant.

She had been gone for so long and hadn't return, they must be worried sick about her.

Vera took a deep breath and answered the phone.

"Hello?"

Vivy? Are you all right? Why haven't you come back from the delivery yet? Did something happen?"

Mabie stood by the phone and hurriedly asked Vera a few questions. David was beside them and urged her, "Ask Vera where is she right now!"

"Yes, yes, Vivy, where are you right now?"

Vera shot a glance around her and prepared to sound calm.

"Mum, I'm fine. I'll be back soon. You're in the restaurant with Dad, aren't you? There's nothing to worry about."

Vera held back her tears and tried to speak in her usual tone. It didn't sound troubled, but she did tremble on some words.
