THIRD PERSON'S POV
As soon as Maverick reached the outside of the room where Valencia was lying on the hospital bed, looking so weak because of the loss of blood, his heart was broken into thousands of shards.
No matter what happened to her or how anyone talked to her, he never saw any sadness or weakness on her face. She was always smiling and trying to be happy.
Thus, seeing her like this with IV in her hand, he took a deep breath before entering the room, feeling remorseful for not being able to protect her.
Maybe if he had followed her immediately after he received her message, he would've been able to save her. Or if he hadn't stood from the table in the first place and gone with her, he would've been able to protect her.
She was so prone to accidents that it was starting to scare him.
