- Chapter 244 - A Fire Accident Two Months Ago
Everly laid on the man’s chest with her eyes half-open.
She was kind of puzzled hearing Maverick’s question.
“Lonely? What kind of person do you think I am?”
“Don’t get me wrong. I mean, did you ever think of that night in the past five years?” Maverick smiled.
Everly now undertook. Maverick was talking about their one-night stand. She blushed. It wasn’t obvious thanks to the darkness. However, she couldn’t hide the shyness in her voice. “I’m not going to think about that kind of thing all the time, come on! I am not you!”
She knew that she was lying.
She didn’t think about that night on purpose. But she often dreamed about it.
Everly called them “wet dreams”.
It was such an impressive night. She couldn’t help recalling the excitement she had that night.
This was probably what people called “muscle memory”.
Maverick pinched her earlobe, whispering, “I just thought of you.”
Everly’s heart beat faster.
Maverick went on teasing. “You are the only woman I ever have. To be honest, I was a virgin by that time too, although I believe you wouldn’t have thought so. Yet it is the fact, Everly. In the five years that followed, I sometimes would think that our bodies fit well. It was a perfect night for me. I thought of looking for you but then I told myself it was just a one-night stand. However, now we are lying on the same bed and I finally understood. I should have found you earlier! I have missed a lot during these 5 years! How have you been all this time, Everly? Is life hard?”
“It isn’t.”
“Silly girl.”
“I mean it. I admit I was a little lonely when I moved here with Edmond in my belly. But luckily, I met Jack.” Speaking of this, Everly felt a sense of loss.
‘Jack was such a nice person! But he doesn’t exist anymore…’
She always remembered the place where she first met with Jack. The next day, after settling the two children, Maverick took Everly over.
She didn’t think too much about it. But when they arrived there, she was stunned. The place looked completely different now.
The small alley was gone. Some of the coffee shops nearby had moved. Everly was a little helpless. “This place has changed. I can’t find the exact location. Do you think Jack has something left for me?”
Maverick looked around and then said to Everly, “Tell me the approximate location. I’ll help you find it.”
Everly had a bad sense of direction, not to mention that the place had been redesigned. It took her great effort to recall an approximate direction.
“I’m not sure but I guess it should be here. Back then, this should have been a road. And in front of here was like an alley. And I remember there was a coffee shop run by an American woman.”
Maverick nodded and led Everly forward.
The coffee shop had become a restaurant.
Maverick said, “Let’s get in and ask about it.”
The owner of the restaurant happened to be Chinese. Everly told him about the situation and asked him when the coffee shop changed into a restaurant.
The boss smiled and said, “In that case, you guys are not in luck. This place had become a restaurant for only a few months. There was a fire here two months ago, and this area was completely burned down. Later, this area was rebuilt. It was a quick project but it was not bad. And my restaurant had only opened for a month.”
Everly felt a little scared, perhaps because she was too sensitive.
On the way back, Maverick also looked a little silent, not knowing what he was thinking.
Everly felt uneasy.
‘Is this just a coincidence?’
‘Two months ago, counting the time, wasn’t it about the time when Jack left the message?’
She felt that someone was hiding some big secrets from her. And the feeling got even more intense now.
‘But what could it be?’ Everly couldn’t figure it out.
She had never felt herself so “valuable”. Perhaps she had become the target of someone.
Everly thought so. Maverick was such a cautious and meticulous person, so he naturally thought more.
When he returned to his residence, he didn’t say much to Everly, but he knew better than Everly that it was not so simple.
He said that he had some work to deal with. After entering Everly’s study, he began to think. His mind went blank. Then, he scrutinized things one by one.
The first was Jack’s death. ‘What exactly did Jack want to tell me?’
‘Jack was just a doctor. He had nothing to do with me. Why did the people from Italy kill him?’
‘The only link between Jack and me was Everly.’
‘But what other important clues could be hidden in Jack, a doctor?’
‘Jack was also Everly’s husband in name and had helped her deliver the baby.’
‘MD Zender Hospital!’ the three words immediately appeared in Maverick’s mind.
‘Candy was brought back from this hospital, and Everly gave birth to Edmond in this hospital too.’
‘Jack was also a doctor in this hospital.’
Maverick hadn’t figured out everything but he had a feeling that there must be something he wanted in MD Zender Hospital.
Maverick could vaguely guess something.
But those ideas were too bold. Besides, he was not sure. And there might be dangers behind the secrets deliberately hidden.
He didn’t want Everly to worry. Therefore, he didn’t tell her his thoughts.
They couldn’t find any clues about Jack. He had no other friends. However, Everly recalled that Jack had a grandfather who seemed to have lived alone in the United States.
Everly had seen the old man once when she registered with Jack.
She told Maverick that she wanted to visit Jack’s grandfather.
Maverick couldn’t stop worrying about her. So, he decided to put off his appointment with other people to accompany Everly.
Everly, on the other hand, hesitated. She told Maverick, “Actually … Jack’s grandfather lives in a place like a nursing home. He has Alzheimer disease because he is old, you know. He always wanted Jack to get married quickly. So, after Jack and I registered, he took me to visit his grandfather once. The old man is a good person and has always treated me as a granddaughter-in-law. So, I don’t think it’s a good idea for us to show up together. I don’t want to provoke him or anything.”
Maverick’s expression changed.
Seeing that, Everly immediately comforted, “I mean, we won’t visit him in the future. This is the only time, right? We could offer him material things, but after all, he lost his grandson. He is poor, don’t you think so? I feel sorry for him.”
After quite a long time, Maverick said, “Sure, I’ll send you to the door and wait for you outside.”
Seeing that Everly was pouting, he softened his tone. “We are in the United States, Everly. And you know that the place we went to before happened to be in a fire. Do you know what this means? Those people are watching us.”
