From the car to now, Aurora Blaine closed her eyes and vaguely heard the words from Maverick Knight.
Call him brother?
Without thinking, she said, "No."
During this time, Maverick Knight had already carried her to the door. Aurora raised her hand to verify her fingerprint, and then the door to the apartment opened.
Aurora's consciousness was slipping away, completely out of control. She only wanted to have a good sleep.
Walking into the apartment, Maverick Knight put her down.
Aurora thought she could manage, but she overestimated herself. The moment she came down, she reached her limit, all her strength drained. She closed her eyes and collapsed like a boneless heap to the side.
Maverick Knight reached out to pull her body back into his arms.
He picked her up and placed her on the bed in the bedroom.
Maverick Knight set the air conditioning to a comfortable temperature and took out his phone to call Jace Pierce.
