His Beloved Ex-Wife

Chapter 626

Chapter 626 You Need Me

It took Michelle a considerable amount of time to process Maverick’s words. She opened her mouth to respond, but before she could form the words, she burst into uncontrollable sobs. “Dad, no, how could this be? You always seem so strong and healthy, it can’t be possible!”

Maverick, witnessing his youngest daughter’s breakdown, felt a deep pang of sorrow. His lips trembled as he fought back his own tears.

In the past, he would have maintained a stoic, fatherly demeanor, but now, faced with his daughter’s raw grief, he felt an even greater distress than her own.

Lysander, observing her sister’s breakdown, moved to comfort Michelle. However, as she reached out to touch her sister’s hand, the overwhelming sense of her own grief sapped her strength, and she found herself unable to offer the support she intended.

Maverick, summoning his strength, spoke with a firm, albeit gentle voice, “Mich, you’re an adult now. Even though you’re still in school, you’re not a child. Crying won’t change our reality. In the future, I need you to help Lysa look after your mother. Try your best to manage, and importantly, try not to cause your sister any unnecessary worry, okay?”

His words, though harsh, carried an undeniable logic. For Michelle, struggling on the verge of collapse, it was a stark reminder that despite her despair, she needed to confront the reality of their family’s crisis. The gravity of her father’s illness and their situation forced her to realize that this was not the time for tears, especially since their mother was still unaware of the truth.

Upon seeing his younger daughter’s tears, Maverick’s expression softened, and he spoke in a gentler tone, “Let’s not tell your mother about this right now. I want to spend a few happy days with her. Is that okay?”

Michelle was overwhelmed by her tears, seemingly unable to hear anything else, teetering on the edge of an emotional breakdown.

Lysander hadn’t expected her father to be so reasonable. Gently helping Michelle to her feet, she said, “There, there, stop crying. If you keep crying, it’ll only make Dad feel worse.”

Maverick wiped the tears from his youngest daughter’s face and reassured her, “It’s all right. I’m still standing here just fine, aren’t I?”

No one could predict what the future held, but at that moment, Maverick longed to spend quality time. with his family. Even the words that had once made him feel awkward now came out effortlessly.

Michelle stopped crying, but it was clear that her emotions were still in turmoil. She looked as if her spirit had been crushed.
