A Pigeon Pair: Sweetheart, Let's Get Married novel Chapter 405

Everly thought, 'Is he going to propose? But it is so sudden. How should I react? Should I agree or not?'

Her heart was pounding. She had an answer in her heart, but she had to maintain her reserve. So she pretended that she didn't know anything. "What's the matter? Tell me."

Everly turned to Maverick. In the darkness, Maverick could not see that her hands on her legs had secretly clenched. Her whole body was stiff, and she was trying to suppress her nervousness and expectation.

Maverick was silent for a few seconds and then made a decision. "Let's get out of the car."

Everly was stunned and felt that Maverick did not seem to propose later.

The reality proved that she was thinking too much.

There was a private sanatorium at the top of the hill. Maverick held Everly's hand and entered. When they reached the highest floor, a man, looking like the dean, was waiting and smiled respectfully at them.

"This way, Mr. Maverick, Ms. Everly."

Everly felt that the man had taken them as a married couple.

But on such an occasion, she could not explain too much.

Everly sensed a familiar smell. Because she had stayed in the hospital for a long time, she was clear and sure that it was the smell of disinfectant.

The corridor was quiet because it was at the top of the hill. Everly felt her footsteps echo, so she unconsciously trod more lightly.

"Today, it's still the same."

The dean pressed the password, and then the automatic door slowly opened. After entering, there was a pharmacy room and another door.

With such strict security measures, was a very important person living inside?

Everly noticed that Maverick's expression became more and more serious. His facial features were taut under the light, and his body quietly exuded a cold aura.

Everly didn't know if he was thinking of something bad.

She had once seen Maverick with such an expression. It was in the lounge of the funeral parlor when he said he wanted to take revenge.

Everly became nervous. The dean said, "Mr. Maverick, I'll wait outside. If you need anything, you can call me."

Maverick agreed.

Everly followed Maverick's gaze and found that the person lying on the bed was Kailey!

She gasped and did not hide her emotions. Maverick held her hand and could sense her emotions. "Everly, I am sorry. I hid it from you."

Everly saw herself from Maverick's eyes. A person who should have died and turned into ashes was alive! If anyone saw this with their eyes, their reactions would be like Everly's or perhaps worse. Everly's face was a little pale.

Maverick held her hand. "I came up with this idea at the last minute. At that time, when my mother was rescued, her situation was terrible. Her brain was injured, and she became a vegetable. It would depend on her luck whether she could wake up or not. So I decided to directly announce her death. In this way, I can protect her from those who want to hurt her."

Kailey was lying on the hospital bed. Although she had escaped death, she was in quite a bad situation. Her hands were wrapped in heavy gauze, and so was her head. It was unknown how she was tortured by Will.

They then went back to the living room, corridor, bedroom, and bathroom. That night, from time to time, Everly felt that she was in heaven and finally fell unconscious.

When she was in a daze, she seemed to have heard Maverick call her baby and say a sentence, but she only remembered the word "leave". She did not even have the strength to move her toes, so in the end, she didn't respond.

After she recalled it later, she could guess that Maverick was saying that she was not allowed to leave him or she should not leave him.

It was a pity. But Everly thought that Maverick would not use that pitiful tone to say "she should not leave him".

However, a strong command like "she was not allowed to leave him" reflected the weakness in the depths of Maverick's heart.

Would she be able to leave?

Their lives had long been intertwined and grew countless fine branches that were also entangled together. If they had to separate, they would suffer a pain that went deep into their bones.

But even so, Everly had no intention of mentioning marriage.

Perhaps Maverick had the same thoughts as her.

There were many things to be done. And no matter what, it was not a suitable opportunity for them to get married.

Although they did not get married, Maverick and Everly were living like a married couple. They just lacked a marriage certificate.

Their happiness had never relied on a marriage certificate. Everly used to think like this, and now she still had this thought.
