An Explosion

Somehow, Everly was a little uneasy all night.

Everly did not know how to describe this inexplicable uneasiness. Her eyelids kept twitching.

Everly did not know if it was because of Jeremy's death that she had not been very comfortable recently.

Everly took a look at the time. It had passed 11 p.m., but Maverick had not returned.

Everly felt even more uneasy. Maverick had never come back so late. Moreover, they were not in City C but America.

Everly got up for a glass of water, but she was still a little uneasy. She walked to the small rooms on the side and looked at the two children. Both of them slept soundly.

Everly sat on the edge of Edmond's bed, watched him for a while, and helped him cover up. Then she went to Candy's room.

Everly had just pushed open the door to Candy's room when Everly seemed to have heard a cracking sound out of surprise.

Because it was in the still of night, the sound was especially clear.

But it disappeared fast.
