Chapter 116 Your Apology Came Too Late Gwendolyn was initially furious, but his witty response almost made her laugh in spite of herself.

His proud yet submissive expression, as if to convey, “I may have kneeled, but my resolve remains unyielding.

” made her snort.

She scolded, “What are you waiting for? Apply the medicine now!” Maverick quickly opened the first-aid kit and began to apply medicine to the wound on her palm.

carefully.

The cut wasn’t too deep, but it stretched almost across the entire palm.

Her once fair and delicate hand now appeared somewhat menacing due to the long, deep wound etched across it.

Maverick was suddenly overcome with a pang of guilt, and his movements while applying the medicine.

became gentler and more cautious.

Gwendolyn looked coldly at the man kneeling obediently at her feet and asked with curiosity, “Since you know that you can’t possibly kill me, why did you still engage in such a foolish act?” Maverick kept his head down, tightly pursing his lips without speaking.

Was it to aid Sheralyn in seeking revenge, or did you genuinely believe Dexter’s words that I was responsible for the death of Old Mr. Wright?” Maverick remained silent as he focused on applying the medicine for her.

Gwendolyn fixed her gaze on him, thoughtfully organizing her thoughts for once.

“I couldn’t have killed Old Mr. Wright.

He was already battling cancer, so it was unnecessary for me to go to such lengths.

You must be aware of this fact as well.

So, was it all for Sheralyn’s sake?” The man responded to her question with silence once more.

Gwendolyn firmly hooked the man’s chin with her uninjured left hand, forcing him to lift his head and meet her unwavering gaze.

“You should know my personality by now.

Sheralyn might be happy that my hand got injured, but you’ll have to pay the price.

Is it worth it for you to do this?” Maverick’s eyes grew slightly red at that.

“It’s not worth it.

That’s why I deeply regret my actions.

” Gwendolyn lowered her gaze to meet his, her sharp eyes keenly noting the traces of redness around his eyes.

Well, he certainly looks sincere.

She wondered if Maverick was indeed feeling guilty because of her injured hand or if it was just part of his act.

Her eyes darted around and met his swollen right cheek.
