Perfect Mysterious Husband (Maddox and Kimberly)
Chapter 1105

Ah! Why didn't he return my phone to me?

If her memory served her right, he placed the bag of medicine into the same pocket where he kept her phone. Why did he return the medicine but not her phone?

Thinking about it, Vera felt miserable, but she had no other options since he was already gone. She could only call Mabie with the landline.

When Mabie heard that Vera had returned home early, she realized that something was wrong.

"What's the matter? Why did you go home so early? Are you feeling unwell, Vivy?"

"No, Mom, I'm fine. I'm just tired from the shopping, and the restaurant is too noisy, so I sneaked back home to take a nap. You don't mind, do you?"

While speaking, Vera stuck her tongue out and made a face at the phone.

In doing so, she pulled on her wound by accident, causing her to gasp in pain.

"Vivy, what's wrong?" Mabie heard her wince.

Vera quickly covered up.

"It's nothing; I'm fine. I accidentally kicked the table, and it hurt." "You brat, you're already an adult, and yet you are still so careless! Only a child would accidentally hurt themselves like that." Mabie nagged her daughter over the phone.

"Oh, Mom, it was an accident, alright? You have to stop nagging me; my ears are ringing. All right, I'm really exhausted; I'm going to sleep now. I'm hanging up."

"Fine, all you do is slack off now that you've opened a restaurant, you brat. Thank God that your father and I can still handle this work. If we were older, we wouldn't be able to handle this at all."

"Hehe. Mom, you and Dad are the best. I love you two. I'm going now, bye."

After that, Vera quickly hung up and breathed a sigh of relief before she limped back to her room.

She changed her clothes and laid down to rest.

She closed her eyes, but her mind was full of images of what happened in the private room at the nightclub.

The man with the cigarette in his mouth grabbed her hair and dragged her into the room. Then he gave her such a powerful slap, which made her dizzy.

D*mn it, how could a person be so violent? It was like a nightmare.

As she pondered on it, Vera soon fell asleep.

In her dream, she was being tortured and beaten up; no one came to save her. She was being pulled about by her hair, and they tore her clothes. There were all kinds of injuries on her body. Vera cried for help until her voice turned hoarse, yet nobody came to save her."

"No, no... Don't do this to me. Don't come over..."

"Vivy, it's Mom. Wake up." Mabie sat on the edge of the bed, looking at her daughter in distress as she was having a nightmare. She gently held her shoulders and shook them, trying to wake her up. However, Vera seemed to be trapped in her nightmare. No matter how Mabie tried to rouse her, she wouldn't wake up. Instead, it only made the situation worse, and she started crying as she wailed for help.

"Vivy, it's not real; you're just dreaming. Wake up."

Vera screamed before finally, she opened her eyes.

As soon as she opened his eyes, all the horrible illusions in her dreams disappeared. Instead, they were replaced by her warm and bright bedroom. There were no disgusting faces or sounds around, only a gentle face with anxious and worried eyes.

"Mom!"

Vera's first reaction was to sit up and hug Mabie tightly, and then she couldn't stop herself from crying loudly.

Mabie was utterly dumbfounded.

Ever since Vera had grown up, she rarely cried in front of her. Although her daughter was stubborn, she would never show her sadness in front of her parents.

It was also because of this, Mabie understood Vera very well.

Earlier over the phone, she noticed that something was off. After the call ended, she discussed what she heard with David and decided to go home to check on Vera. Upon reaching home, Mabie let out a sigh of relief when she saw that Vera's shoes were indeed there.

Then she found Vera in her bedroom. When she saw Vera sleeping, she thought she was overreacting. But as she came closer, she noticed that Vera's face was swollen. Mabie was furious when she saw the wound. Just as she was about to rush out to call David, she heard Vera crying out.

Vera was having a nightmare.

Combined with all her reactions, Mabie was almost certain that her daughter had been

assaulted.

Vera cried for a long time. Halfway through her crying, she regained her composure. She wiped away her tears and looked at Mabie with red eyes. "Mom, why did you come back all of a sudden?"

Hearing this, Mabie felt slightly

heartbroken, "My daughter is in so much pain, how could I not come home? What? If I didn't come home earlier, were you going to hide it from me? You brat, I'm your mother, and I've raised you. How could you hide this from me?"

After being scolded, Vera could not help sniffing. "I didn't want you to worry."

"Oh, here you are hiding your injury from us, and you think that isn't

going to get us worried? Do you know how heartbroken we would

be? If you don't want us to worn.net

correct way would be to tell

the

us what

happened and let us bring you to the hospital."

Vera stopped talking. Although her intentions were good, it was still wrong for her to hide her injuries from her parents. After all, they would really be worried about her.

"Alright, look at you, what happened? Can you tell me now?"

After thinking about it, Vera decided to tell Mabie everything that happened At first, Mabie was able to stay calm, but after hearing what took place, her eyes were almost about to burst into flames. Then she jumped down from the bed and rushed out.

"Mom, what are you doing?" Vera stomached the pain on her feet and stopped her.

"Don't stop me. I'm going to kill those b*stards! How dare they attack my daughter! Do they really think that I am so powerless? I'm going to kill them!"

Mabie was furious that her daughter had suffered such pain. She even thought about taking those men's lives.

"Mom, they're all in the police station. The police will handle it. Don't cause trouble for them."

"So what if they are at the police station? I'm your mother. Am I not supposed to fight for you?"

"They will be punished by the law. Please don't act like this, Mom. My leg hurts a lot, and I won't be able to stop you..."

Upon hearing this, Mabie was taken aback. She lowered her head and looked at her daughter's leg.

"Your leg is injured too?"

Vera nodded and said, "It's bruised, but I took an X-ray. The doctor said that there is nothing wrong with my bones, and I just have to rest for a couple

of days."

Mabie was furious, but when she realized that Vera's leg was injured, she did not say anything more. She only helped her daughter back to bed. She sat Vera down and checked on her wound. "Are you sure there aren't any bone fractures? Do you want to go to another hospital for another X-ray? It's always good to be careful."
