Perfect Mysterious Husband (Maddox and Kimberly)

As she pressed her face against his chest, she could hear his strong heartbeat.

Only then did Vera realize something was wrong.

She should have resisted his embrace, not because she disliked him, but because she didn't want his care at a time like this. However, after being held in his arms, Vera fell for him all over again.

Because his embrace... was very warm.

It was the same feeling she had when she dreamed about him for so many nights. Now, it had become a reality.

Unfortunately, it was as much a fantasy as it was reality.

For Vera, these moments were like bubbles that could burst at the slightest touch.

Even though she knew this to be the case, she was still like a moth flying into a flame, bravely moving forward regardless of its safety.

After seeing the doctor, aside from the wound on Vera's face, she had bruises on her leg too. After her pant leg was lifted, a huge bruise could be seen on her knee extending to her calf. The doctor pressed on it lightly, and Vera started sweating in pain and gasped.

Seeing her reaction, the doctor suggested, "If possible, it would be best to take an X-ray and see if there are any cracks in your bone."

An X-ray? Wouldn't that be too much trouble?

"It's fine. I..."

"Where do we go for her to get an X-ray?"

Quill interrupted her. After getting directions from the doctor, he lifted her up and brought her over to get her X-ray taken.

The X-ray results came out very quickly. After taking a look at it, the doctor explained it to Vera.

"According to the X-ray, your bones are fine, but you shouldn't be doing a lot of walking for the time being. Have a few days of rest. I will give you some medicine for the swelling on your face and another one for your leg."

"Thank you, doctor."

After the medicine was prescribed, Vera sat on the bench alone and waited while Quill went to get the medicine. She sat there in a daze, quietly thinking about everything that happened that day. After thinking for a while, her brain became a mess, and she couldn't figure it out at all.
