A Pigeon Pair: Sweetheart, Let's Get Married novel Chapter 201

Everly indeed felt that Jack was a little strange.

But she still couldn't believe that he would kidnap Edmond.

"But, I don't think that Jack will hurt Edmond. He was my doctor when Edmond was born. And I helped him back then..."

Everly paused for a moment, feeling that Maverick was a little unhappy.

Although Beth still hadn't given Everly any evidence regarding the photos, Everly was certain that it was Elenore who did it.

Through that incident, she could feel that Maverick had strong possessiveness. He would feel that it would be harmless even if he did it.

Now that his face was filled with unhappiness and jealousy with her past because of that she mentioned Jack.

Everly ignored the past and emphasized, "In short, Jack and I are very good friends. He also likes Edmond. He will not do anything to hurt Edmond."

Maverick raised his eyebrows, but his tone was low, "Are you so sure?"

Everly had always been very insistent on what she could confirm. This could also be considered her temper, so she nodded seriously, "I'm not suspicious. I just feel that it might have something to do with Jack, but I still don't want to believe that he will take Edmond away. But indeed, he said a lot of strange things to me before. The last time we met, he also said some things to me, telling me not to admit that I have a son. So I think it might be a clue when I told you."

Maverick took the vague screenshot of the video and gave it to Everly.

"Since you are very familiar with each other, can you recognize this back?"

When Everly saw it, she almost immediately recognized it.

It was Jack.

In fact, there is no special characteristic. However, if she had known someone for five years, who was once her nominal husband, a good friend of her in reality, she would recognize him at a glance.

Everly nodded, "It is indeed Jack."

"He appeared when Edmond disappeared." Maverick asked directly, "He used to be a doctor at the MD Zender Hospital?"

Everly nodded, "Yes. But he resigned two years ago and has always been a member of Doctors Without Borders."

"The last time you met him in City C?"

"Yeah, it wasn't too long. He sent me a text message after that. I always felt that his words were a little strange."

"Is the message still there?"

"It has already been deleted. He asked me to delete it after I read it."

Maverick pondered for a moment and asked, "Have you received any strange calls recently?"

Everly tried hard to recall. There were definitely phone calls every day, including some marketing, credit cards, and so on. But when she thought about it specifically, she couldn't be able to think of it carefully. She couldn't recall any strange call.

When she had to recall if there was a number that she didn't know, she definitely couldn't remember.

Therefore, Everly had indeed forgotten that there had been an unfamiliar missed call.

"No."

Maverick reached out and patted her back gently. He said, "Now, I can confirm that there will be results soon. So, don't worry anymore. I believe what you said. Jack won't casually hurt Edmond. As for why he took Edmond away, we will ask when we find him."

Everly bit her lip and asked, "Is it really Jack?"

"I believe in my judgment."

Everly did not say anything else. There was no point in saying anything else now.

Maverick asked her, "Have you eaten?"

Everly shook her head. She said, "I don't have much appetite."

"You have to eat, don't you? I'm calmer than you now because I think Edmond will be fine. Besides, it doesn't work even if you don't eat, drink, or sleep. Believe me, Edmond will come back safely."

He was comforting her when Edmond didn't come back safely.

Everly didn't have much confidence. But Maverick insisted on letting her eat something. The Farley family had already prepared dinner downstairs. Gloria and Parrish saw that Everly and Maverick went upstairs, so they went upstairs after having dinner.

Maverick went to the kitchen and personally prepared some food for Everly. He even fed her in person.

Her expression was not very good. Maverick was distressed about her worried look.

After letting Everly eat half a bowl of rice, he stuck to her and coaxed her to sleep.

Perhaps it was because Maverick was by her side that Everly fell asleep.

Maverick was sure that she was asleep. The soft expression on her face seemed to disappear.

Finally, he reached out and gently brushed her eyelashes. After confirming that she was completely asleep, he stood up with a cold face.

He quietly took out a red bag from his pocket, put it on his nose, and sniffed it. The smell was almost gone. He could not help sighing.

It was the medicine prescribed before. He knew that Everly must not have been able to sleep well. One of the Farley family's servants told him that Everly had taken sleeping pills these two days.

Therefore, Maverick found a doctor to get some sachet that could make her sleep well.

He opened the drawer and put the red sachet in. He leaned over and sniffed her forehead, carefully covered her with the quilt, and then went out.

As soon as he left the bedroom, he saw Hendrix standing at the door.

Hendrix was about to knock on the door, but when he saw Maverick come out, he raised his eyebrows and asked, "Does Everly fall asleep?"

Maverick nodded and quickly closed the door.

Hendrix smiled and said, "You can persuade her. She had never slept in the past few days. She only slept after taking sleeping pills last night. I was worried about her."

Maverick frowned, "Is there any news?"

"He should have changed his name. It's not easy to find him now. Fortunately, there are photos and some useful identity information. He will be found soon. I am mainly worried that he will hurt Edmond when the time comes."

Maverick said, "I can think of it, so you have to move quickly. After you find him, don't force him. I can be sure that it is him."

"Why?"

"Did Everly give birth to Edmond in the MD Zender Hospital?"

Hendrix was stunned, "Yes. Is it related?"

Maverick originally wanted to say that his daughter was also born in that hospital, but for some reason, when the words came to his mouth, he swallowed it back and changed his words. He said, "It's nothing. Maybe it has something to do with me. I will tell you the details later. In short, I am confident that it is Jack who took Edmond away."

Hendrix did not understand. He said, "Actually when Everly told me about it at the beginning, I thought that there might be a connection. But Jack... How should I put it? I have seen Jack before. He was a doctor. When Everly gave birth to Edmond, he took good care of them. Logically speaking, he would not have kidnapped Edmond, right?"
