From the moment Juliette told Quill that Minerva was pregnant, he had been frowning all night. He had been furrowing his brows tightly and pursing his lips. Moreover, he gave off an uninviting vibe. The nurse who cto check on Minerva was so frightened by Quill that she retreated. However, she still had to do her job, so she ran out as quickly as possible once she was done examining her. Juliette was Quill's secretary, and she had been by his side for so many years. She was used to his temper.
Maddox was missing, the wedding was a complete mess, and now, Minerva was pregnant.
If... something really happened to Maddox, Minerva and the child were going to suffer.
Juliette was still optimistic that Maddox was going to cback in one piece.
However, life might not go the way she wanted it to.
There were a lot of things that were beyond control.
After thinking for stime, she suddenly stood up, walked over to Quill, and sat down beside him. "The doctor said Miss Minerva is very weak, but she is fine. Both mother and child are lucky." Quill's eyes moved, but he still pressed his lips tightly together and kept quiet.
Juliette said, "Actually, I think... this child cat the right time. At least... it'll be good for Miss Minerva." Quill, who didn't move for the entire night, suddenly raised his head when he heard this, saying, "Good?" She sighed in her heart.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtShe knew what he was thinking. She knew exactly what to do.
She smiled faintly and replied gently, "Yes, President Hanover. To put it bluntly... Right now, we don't know if Young Master Yardley is alive or not. Miss Minerva only wants to look for him and be with him, but both of us have been to the crash site. Unless... Young Master Yardley did not fall into that sea, otherwise... After last night's thunderstorm, only a handful of people would survive. Tomorrow won't be as sunny as we hoped. President Hanover, can you understand where I'm going with this?" He pressed his thin lips together, and his eyes darkened a little.
Perhaps.
The tides were very ferocious. With a thunderstorm added into the equation... How many of them would be this lucky to survive that? The rescue might find floating bodies instead.
People were always hopeful.
However... if a miracle cthis easily, it wouldn't be called a miracle.
Quill's heart sank. He could still vividly recall when Maddox handed over the contract to him and the promises he made.
That man was ready to spend the rest of his life with Minerva, but now...
"President Hanover, I didn't mean to be this blunt. I'm being realistic. If... anything really happens to Young Master Yardley, Miss Minerva might end her life. Don't you think so?" "I'm afraid so." Based on her behavior over the past two days, even if Minerva wouldn't take her own life, her actions were basically a form of slow death.
"But if Minerva is pregnant, things are different... She has another life in her belly, and Miss Minerva is a mother. She has no reason to be stubborn and let her child die with her." He was speechless.
"That's why I said the child cat the right time." Was this the case? Quill's lips twitched. He had never been a mother, nor a father. He didn't know what it meant to be a parent.
However, Juliette was different. She had been a mother before, so she could understand how Minerva felt. Perhaps, she was right.
This child might be Minerva's only hope.
"Miss Minerva might start taking care of herself for the child." When Minerva woke up, she was surrounded by the scent of disinfectant, and her vision went blank. She was dumbfounded for a long tbefore she realized that she was in the hospital. Before she could think about anything else, she suddenly sat up on the bed. However, she got up too quickly, and she felt her head spinning. Everything before her went black, and her body fell back on the pillow.
Thud! The sound was so loud that it startled Quill, who was standing on the side.
He had been with Minerva for more than ten hours now. He didn't sleep well the night before either, so he was feeling drowsy. He shut his eyes to rest from tto time.
However, he didn't expect to hear clamoring just as he shut his eyes.
When he woke up, he saw Minerva fall back. His face changed, and he reached out to help her up.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"Minerva, are you awake? Are you feeling alright?" She fell back on her pillow. For a long time, her head was spinning before she regained consciousness. She breathed heavily and said after a long while, "Quill? Where's Maddox?" He was dumbfounded.
His eyes darkened as he pursed his lips and helped her up.
"Sit, and we'll talk." She slowly got up as he helped her up. He placed a pillow behind her and said softly, "Are you thirsty? I'll pour you a glass of water." He asked her the question, but he went to pour her a glass of water before she even answered.
After he had poured her a cup of warm water, Minerva had no choice but to accept it. She took a small sip but spor heard Quill asking her, "Are you feeling alright? The doctor said to inform him once you are awake. Wait a minute." Then, he quickly got up and went outside the ward to inform the doctor.
She was silent.
She took another sip of water. After sitting for a while, she didn't feel that dizzy anymore. When he cback, she asked, "Quill, what tis it now?" She looked out of the window, and it was still pitched black. Was the sun not up yet?
However, no matter how she thought it about it, something felt off. She had been unconscious for so long, and was so quiet outside. The thunderstorm was gone. The heavy rain from that night shouldn't have stopped so soon. Could it be...
Was it the second night already?
Her expression changed drastically. She lifted the blanket and was about to get out of bed. However, before Ε her toes touched the cold floor, Quill stopped her. "Where are you going?" He frowned and asked unpleasantly.
"Quill, a day has passed, hasn't it? Where's Maddox? Has the rescue team found him yet?" He answered, "It's been a day. As for Maddox... There's no news yet." "What about the rescue team? Didn't the rescue team go and look for the survivors? Why isn't there any news?" Her face was ashen. She was so weak that she almost couldn't sit still. However, she becanxious at the mention of Maddox.
"Do you know how weak you are now? Can you think for yourself just this once?" X
