Everyone surrounded Jelly Bean, and the atmosphere was joyous.
Vera, who was standing by the side, was also delighted to see Jelly Bean's adorable appearance. She would reach out her hand and poke Jelly Bean's soft and cute fist from tto time. She felt happy as she touched it, and she kept doing so, having fun with it.
Quill, who was at the side, naturally noticed Vera's actions. Her innocent and lovely behaviour made a smile gradually appear on Quill's cold countenance.
Minerva did not know why, but she had a mischievous thought all of a sudden. Looking at Vera, she asked, "Is my daughter cute?" Vera did not know what she was going to say next. She only took that Minerva was happy to have a daughter, so she nodded excitedly, "Of course, Jelly Bean is so adorable. Look at her tiny hand, her little face. Aww, so soft and cute. If I weren't afraid of hurting her, I'd really want to carry her." However, newborns were too small and fragile. Vera, a person who had never been a mother, did not dare pick Jelly Bean up for fear of hurting her.
"It's alright. You can try carrying her." Vera shook her head and said, "No, it's fine. No need to rush. I'll hold her when she's a little older. There's still more to come. It's not like I don't have a chance in the future." "If you really like babies so much, you should hurry up and give birth to one." After saying that, Minerva even deliberately glanced at her older brother, Quill.
Vera was still excited earlier, but her whole body went stiff that moment. She stared at Minerva with wide eyes. Why did she deliberately mention that when there were so many people around? Vera didn't know what Quill's thoughts were, but there were so many people there. Her face blushed all over, and she didn't dare look at Quill at all.

"With someone accompanying me, why would I be exhausted?" While gripping, Minerva suddenly realized something. She turned her head and saw that her fingers were pinching right onto Maddox's wound. To be honest, it was not a serious wound. Minerva had left a bite mark; it seemed deep, and it was even bleeding. Minerva heard the doctor asking Maddox if he needed them to deal with the wound earlier, but Maddox didn't seem to care about it. Yet...
Minerva moved her fingers away in a panic. Looking at the deep bite marks, her heart ached for him.
"Don't show such a look. It doesn't hurt at all." How could it not hurt at all? Minerva didn't believe him at all. The wound was so deep; it was obvious that he was lying.
"Do you think that I'm a three-year-old?" Everyone saw the couple suddenly bantering as if there was no one else around. Abigail then eyed the people around, and all of them retreated quietly.
"Since when did I take you as a three-year-old?" Maddox chuckled softly, feeling helpless. He put his injured hand behind his back and said, "A man shouldn't cry when he's in pain. Such a small injury is nothing. You, on the other hand, must be tired." It would be a lie if Minerva said she wasn't moved.
No matter when, whether it was during her younger days or her current age, or perhaps when she got older, she still wouldn't be able to resist the gentleness of the person she loved.
Just like right now, even though Minerva had been in great pain when she gave birth, she still felt satisfied deep down.
It was completely different from when she gave birth to Beanie back then.
When she gave birth to Beanie, she was in her most miserable state as she was separated from Maddox at that time. She didn't know who Beanie's father was. Beanie was her only hope; she had to birth the child alone.
Unlike now, she had so many people keeping her company and the gentle whispers from her most beloved one. Just as she was deep in her thoughts, Maddox's face suddenly enlarged before her eyes. He pressed his forehead against hers and kissed her lightly on the tip of her nose. Minerva pushed him away reflexively, "There are people here..." "There aren't." Maddox grabbed her hand and smiled, "They've all left." Only then did Minerva realize that she and Maddox were the only ones left in the ward; it was still lively earlier. Of course, Jelly Bean remained on the bed beside her, sleeping soundly.
She didn't expect them to run away that fast. The thing was, she didn't even realize that they'd left at all.
Maddox went forward again and kissed her on the corner of her lips.
Minerva wanted to continue, but when she thought of the wound on his hand, her heart ached. She then stopped him and said, "Don't be like this. The wound on your hand is serious. Go get the doctor to deal with it first." His actions becmore and more imprudent, "Why are you that anxious? It's fine if I deal with it later." In fact, Maddox hadn't intended to do anything to Minerva. After all, she had just given birth to a baby, all he wanted was to kiss her. Even so, Minerva was very resistant. "No, you have to go right now." She had already caused such an injury to him; what if the wound worsened and becinfected if she delayed him from treating the wound? Due to Minerva's persistence, Maddox had no choice but to get a doctor to treat his wound first.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmAfter a whole night of bustles, everyone was exhausted.
Abigail took the initiative to say, "I'll keep vigil. All of you should go back and rest. You guys still have to work tomorrow." After that, Abigail looked at Quill and said, "Could you please send the old man and Beanie back?" Quill nodded expressionlessly.
Even if she hadn't asked, he had planned to do so. Beanie was his nephew, and X, and needless to say about sending Master Collins back; he was his elder. "Then you should all go back first." Just as she finished speaking, Maddox cout of the room. He glanced at everyone with a cold expression. He no longer had the gentleness from when Minerva was just done with the labor, and his votee sounded somewhat icy.
"You all should go back first. Leave everything to me." Hearing that, Abigail lifted her eyebrows and said, "How many nights have you been staying up? Are you sure that you can settle everything alone?" Maddox nodded with a cold face.
Abigail hesitated for a moment but didn't refuse, "Alright then, if you m insist. We'll all go back and rest. We'll cball cback when we've had enough rest tomorrow." "Sure." Maddox nodded slightly. Because Abigail didn't need to keep
vigil, she took the responsibility of sending Beanie and Master Collins back to Ocean Villa, then she also washed an washed up and slept there. Quill took vera home; she had actually wanted to stay and accompany Minerva. They were, after all, best friends.
But thinking that Maddox definitely wanted to stay by Minerva's side more than she wanted to, she gave up on the idea and left alongside Quill.
