Aida lowered her head, compassion flickering past her cold eyes. Only she understood how much Miss Tatiana had longed for Young Master Maverick throughout the years. How much Miss Tatiana had counted the days to return and how much Miss Tatiana was happy the minute she boarded the plane to Lex.

Even though Miss Tatiana had stayed, or more to say, lived, in the hospital for the majority of her life, Aida could see that whenever Miss Tatiana was on the brink of giving up treatment, the thought of young Master Maverick was enough to give her strength!


For the first time in her life, Aida felt powerless. Aida wished she could make the innocent and pure Miss Tatiana happy forever. Unfortunately…

Aida trudged downheartedly towards the ward and stared at Tatiana's bright eyes, which were lit up as if to receive good news, and a sense of compassion overwhelmed her heart immediately. “Miss Tatiana…”

Tatiana clenched her fists, placed next to her side, to restrain her agitated and chaotic emotions.


Tatiana had exceptionally longed to return to Lex for all these years because she knew that as soon as she did, Maverick and she would begin their plans to get together—just as he promised her that year after the incident happened!

However, since a few days ago, Maverick hadn't raised the topic. He didn't stick around as he did before, and whenever he did, the majority of the time, he appeared absentminded, which was very unusual of Maverick.


What was happening? The unknown made Tatiana exceptionally furious!

Tatiana pinched her palm to restrain her emotions. She bit her lower lip docilely, and her eyes crinkled due to happiness, even though she already knew that Maverick was long gone. “Where's Maverick?” she softly inquires while looking at the door eagerly, as if she were waiting for Maverick to enter the room.

Something suddenly clenched Aida's heart, and she stared down at Tatiana, who lay on the bed, her body thin and frail, as if she could be blown away by the gentle sweeping of a breeze. A deep sense of compassion overwhelmed her heart, and she found herself unable to stare at Tatiana's bright eyes. “Boss... left.” Her eyes lowered, and she whispered as a response.

Tatiana looked down and bit her lower lip tighter. Tears pooled in her eyes immediately, but she didn't cause any trouble or ask any questions. Rather, she closed her eyes and pronounced a weak “Okay.”

Aida stared down at the sensible Tatiana, and tears pooled in her eyes. She couldn't help thinking that the boss had gone too far!

Suddenly, the door was pushed open from outside.

Tatiana's eyes flew wide open, and her eyes lit up in excitement. Her body trembled in excitement. She knew he'd never forsake her. He can only be busy... Tatiana's excitement disappeared immediately, and she stared at the handsome Amell, who walked into the ward with mixed emotions. She clenched her fist immediately. It turns out that Maverick left just like that! She pinched her palm immediately.

Tears pooled in Tatiana's eyes, and she stared at Amell with red-rimmed eyes. “Amell.” She cried out, her body trembling, her expression tugging at the heart, and eliciting pity from whoever was staring at her.

Aida looked down, finding Tatiana really pitiful. Even though it was just a brief moment, she couldn't fail to catch how Tatiana's eyes lit up upon hearing the door get pushed open. Aida knew that Tatiana believed that the person was Maverick! Unfortunately, it wasn't the boss.

She slowly walked out of the room to give the both of them the chance to talk!

Amell’s cold eyes softened, and his heart ached on the woman's behalf.

Only if he had come a little earlier! His hand reached out to stroke her pale face, an endearing look hidden deep in his eyes.

Amell knew that Tatiana only saw him as a brother. Once she knew what emotions he had for her, he knew they'd make her inconvenient, so he could only hide them! “I’m sorry…” 'For being late' was what he wanted to say, but before he could...

“Amell, I’m in so much pain!” Tatiana cried out and threw herself at him immediately.

Amell's heart inevitably ached on the woman's behalf, and his hand gently patted the woman to comfort her, his heart suffocating deeply. “Where’s Maverick?” he inquired while trying to make his voice as gentle and calm as possible.

Tatiana stared into space immediately and bit her lower lip, her whole figure trembling. “Maverick. He seems to be busy lately.”

——

Maverick's jaw ticked, and a tight-lipped smile dons his face. His vein pulsed, and his fist clenched in anger.

Although his devilish face was so incomparably handsome that it'd make one never get tired of looking, the dark smile hanging on his lips, his dark eyes that spewed fire, and the overwhelming aura exuding out of him were enough to make one wants to pee whenever they stared at him. All the crowds immediately parted to make way for Maverick due to petrification.

Upon arriving at the parking lot, Maverick opened the door to the driver's seat.

Seeing the driver, who had a headphone on his head while vibing to music, and his eyes turned darker. He coldly glared at the driver, almost making the poor driver want to flee for his life! “Scram!” He coldly bellowed.

Without even knowing how, the pale and trembling poor driver shakily replied, "Yes, boss,” and fled out of the car immediately! The poor driver couldn't help feeling so petrified, as if he were in the presence of King Yama at that moment!

A scowl surfaced on Maverick's face, and he sat in the driver's seat before slamming the poor door shut!

He tapped on the video Cliff sent with a dark look immediately.

Four children, who were currently in face masks, entered his vision.

Except for their bright eyes, nothing about the four kids' features was revealed. On the live video, there were numerous gift displays, likes, and comments sent to the four kids.

‘Hi, beautiful sisters and handsome uncles. Our beautiful mom went missing last night. If you came across Mom last night, please don't hesitate to let Quadruplet know through the comment section. Mom has beautiful black eyes, a cute nose...’

The more Maverick listened to the quadruplet’s words, the more Maverick's black eyes spewed with fire. His fist clenched, and he tossed the phone towards the back seat immediately. His eyes were filled with indignation.

Maverick's hand made its way to the tie to tug and loosen it, finding everything suffocating! Damn it! Not only did that silly woman get together with Corbyn Cirillo, but she even gave birth to quadruplets for his mutual enemies!

A trace of fury overwhelmed his whole being immediately. Without hesitation, Maverick turned on the ignition and drove out of the hospital to the mansion.

Maverick’s driving speed was so abnormally fast that he repeatedly broke past the traffic rules and speed limit! Despite the fact that the traffic enforcers tried to stop Maverick, his speed continued, knowing Cliff would settle it.

Suddenly, Maverick's phone rang, and he picked up the call through the Bluetooth device.

“Boss, the after-pills?” Cliff's shaky voice drifted into Maverick's ears immediately. Although he wasn't next to Maverick, somehow Cliff could feel the chilly aura oozing out of Maverick, and it made him tremble.

Upon hearing Cliff's question, Maverick’s darkened eyes turned darker immediately, and he coldly sneered. “To hell with it!” He responded coldly and cut off the call immediately, his driving speed increasing.

As soon as Maverick arrived at the mansion, he alighted out of the car and gloomily strode towards the mansion to meet that woman. His eyes were terrifyingly dark, his jaw clenched, and his posture straightened.

The guards who guarded the mansion couldn't help shivering and lighting up a candle in advance for whoever dared to infuriate Maverick as much as this!

“Boss…” The poor guards were unable to complete their words due to the cold glare and cold aura that oozed from Maverick. It made them shiver and unconsciously hold their breath!

Maverick ascended the stairs in a large stride and continued to make his way toward the master bedroom. As soon as he arrived, he kicked the door open harshly, making the poor Valencia jump in fear.

The hell!

Upon seeing Maverick, Valencia's expression changed, and she coldly glared at him. Not only did he lock her up against her will, he even wanted to kill her with petrification. How could he kick the door so harshly?

Immediately, Maverick returned the fierce and cold glare his gaze was so fierce that Valencia feared that he was going to choke her to death!
