Perfect Mysterious Husband (Maddox and Kimberly) novel Chapter 1073

"What for? I know you won't go back with me no matter what. Instead of forcing you, I might as well let you stay in the hospital to recuperate. Besides, the environment here is okay. It won't be a big problem for you to take care of your baby in your belly. As for Maddox's situation, I have learned the situation from the doctor. You don't have to worry too much."

Because Abigail and Jarold were around, Minerva felt much more at ease. After lunch, she even took a nap.

Abigail was right. She had to trust the doctor.

At the same time, she also had to believe in Maddox.

He would definitely wake up soon.

After the observation period, Maddox was moved from the ICU to an ordinary ward. He was supposed to be staying in the same ward as Minerva.

However, considering that there would be someone keeping vigil, Maddox was arranged a separate ward. If the person keeping vigil got sleepy or cold, they could rest for a while.

At eight in the evening, Quill came over and chatted with Minerva for a while. Sam and Vera also came.

Vera pushed the door of the ward open and said, "Minerva, I heard that Young Master Yardley has passed the critical period, you..." When she came in, she still had some coldness with her.

However, Vera stopped talking the moment she saw Quill in the ward. Then she stood at the door in a daze; the door was half-opened.

A big hand reached out and pressed on the door near her palm, pushing the door open fully. Then, he lowered his head and looked at the girl, who was shorter than him, and said in a low voice.

"Let's talk inside."

Vera withdrew her hand and walked in obediently. Sam followed behind her and closed the door of the ward.

Because of the cold weather, Vera was wearing a pink overcoat, and her hair was tied into a bun. A light-colored fluffy scarf covered half of her face, only revealing her delicate eyes and nose.

On the other hand, Sam was wearing a long black trench coat. When the two of them came in, they both brought the cold air with them. One was tall and the other was short. They seemed to be well matched.

A trace of malevolence flashed across Quill's eyes but then quickly disappeared.

"Young Madam." Sam greeted Minerva with a nod.

"You're here," Minerva said with a faint smile. She then turned to Vera and asked, "Beanie didn't tag along? Looks like he listens to you."

"Yeah, Beanie is very understanding. I explained to him and he agreed not to come after that."

Minerva nodded with relief and said, "Thank you, Vera."

Vera said with a wave of her hand, "Not at all. It's no big deal."

If Quill was not here, Vera would've definitely said that there was no need to thank her since they have a close relationship. But since he was here, she couldn't say a word.

There was a strange silence in the ward.

After a while, Quill's cold voice sounded.

"Why don't you let Beanie stay with me for some time?"

Upon hearing Quill's words, Minerva looked at Quill in surprise.

"Ah? Let Beanie be with you, but your company..."

"There are not many things to deal with in the company. You are my sister. As his uncle, I ought to take care of Beanie."

After he finished speaking, Quill stood up and said, "Why don't I pick him up now."

Minerva suddenly didn't know what to say because she noticed a trace of seriousness from Quill's eyes. He seemed to have decided to do this no matter what.

To her, Quill and Vera were both just as trustworthy, so no matter where Beanie was, she could rest assured.

However, Vera had a different interpretation when she heard Quill's words.

He said... Minerva was his sister, and Beanie ought to be taken care of by his uncle.

That meant that she was just an outsider, and it was not proper for her to take care of Beanie.

She didn't have the right at all.

Thinking that this might be what he meant, Vera's face became pale. She looked down and didn't speak, and it took her a long time to raise her head.

"In that case, it's better for President Hanover to take care of Beanie."

Since Quill had offered himself, what else could an outsider like her say?

As soon as she spoke, Quill passed by her. Vera subconsciously avoided his body and let him pass. Unexpectedly, Quill had stopped close to her.

"Is it convenient for you to lead the way?"

Would he think that she did it deliberately? Would he hate her even more? Would he think that she was playing hard to get?

Vera stood where she was, feeling bitter in her heart.

Quill's cold voice sounded from the inside of the elevator.

"Are you not coming? Do you want to wait for the

elevator door to close again?"

Vera came back to reality and rushed into the elevator. After entering the elevator, she hid in a corner and closed her eyes in despair.

She was really... too ashamed to show her face.

She was doing just fine in the past few times. Why had she suddenly become so idiotic?

Just because she wanted to avoid him, so...

As there were only two of them in the elevator, the space was filled with silence. Perhaps because of Quill's strong aura, Vera felt that her breath was full of Quill's masculinity as it surrounded her.

She could barely breathe.

Ding...

When the elevator door opened, a group of people rushed in, one of whom was pushing a wheelchair.

Perhaps the person was afraid of moving too slowly, so the wheelchair was pushed forward a little quicker. Seeing that it was about to bump into her, Vera wanted to dodge. However, there was a wall on one side and Quill on the other; she could only remain where she was.

Just let it hit...

"It's not like I would die," she thought.

But the next second, she felt a weight on her arm, and she was dragged into someone's arms.

Bang!

Vera's face slammed into Quill's chest.
