Perfect Mysterious Husband (Maddox and Kimberly)

"Stop it. Come down now."

"I'm almost done. Just a bit... Ah!"

Vera underestimated the distance between her and the lamp and slipped, about to fall off the ladder.

At that very moment, Vera only had one thought in her mind, and that was the baby in her belly.

She was in a full-blown panic, fully regretting not heeding Quill's warning. Why had she insisted? Why did she...

The pain she was expecting never came. Quill caught her, and she fell into his embrace.

Quill had expected the danger, but he did not think that it would really happen. When Vera fell, Quill's heart nearly stopped. Fortunately, he caught her.

Vera looked into Quill's eyes in shock, scared out of her wits.

She gazed at him for a long while before suddenly wrapping her arms around Quill's neck tightly. She choked, saying, "That was scary!"

Moving so suddenly, she accidentally hit Quill's chin. It hurt a little, and they both had quite the fright. However, Quill being himself, managed to compose in no time and set her down on a chair to the side. "Are you hurt anywhere?"

After all, Vera had fallen from the top of the ladder. Although Quill had caught her, he was worried if she had sprained her wrist or got scratched, so he began examining her.

The fright caused Vera's heartbeat to accelerate with no sign of stopping. Even if she was sitting firmly on a chair then, she still looked spooked. What if Quill hadn't come back early? What if he wasn't coincidentally standing beside her to catch her? She would have really fallen to the ground.

If she fell, then the child in her belly might...

As the thought crossed her mind, Vera's lips were drained of blood. She subconsciously covered her stomach.

Quill was still checking on her. Seeing her action, he frowned and asked, "What's wrong? Does your stomach hurt?"
