Female Novel
Chapter 401
The Hanover family.
It was late at night, yet Quill summoned a doctor to treat the wound on Minerva's hand.
"Well, Miss Hanover, for your wound, avoid contact with water for the time being. You'd better getyourself excused from work. You will recover in a few days' time. Remember to only eat light foodsfor the next few days."
"Thank you very much." Quill indifferently instructed George to send the doctor home.
"Did you hear the doctor's advice?"
Minerva sat on the sofa and said impassively, "I heard it. How am I going to take a bath tonight? Areyou telling me that I can't bathe for the next few days?"
Quill pondered for a while and answered directly, 'Til ask Vera to help you out."
"Well, I don't think that's necessary. In fact, I guess covering my hand will do while I take a bathlater."
Quill heaved a sigh and stared silently at Minerva. She immediately felt a little embarrassed andchuckled. "Alright, I won't take a shower. I'll head upstairs to take a rest. It's been a long day."
"Alright."
When Minerva returned to her room, she found that Beanie had already fallen asleep.
She went to the bedside and gazed at Beanie. Beanie... resembled that person.
In the past five years, Quill had been asking her to return to Hidalgo. However, she didn't do so asshe refused to see that person again.
She initially thought that she might not bump into him since North City was a large city. Despite that,never did she expect that... she crossed paths with him after coming back for a short while.
And they met face-to-face...
That was something that Minerva had never imagined.
Maddox.
As she thought of him, her face darkened. She stood up and walked out of the bathroom at a slowpace. Suddenly, there was a soft knock at the door.
Minerva was startled for a moment before she turned to open the door.
A servant stood outside the door, looking at her respectfully.
"Miss Minerva, are you planning to take a bath? I can help you out."
Minerva was slightly taken aback, nodding. "Then come in and help me fill up the water. Be quiet,Beanie is asleep."
The maid thought for a moment and replied softly, "Miss Minerva, how about if you go over to theguest room to take a bath? You can return once you're done with it. I'll be there to serve you."
"Alright, I'll get my clothes."
Minerva went back to her room to fetch her clothes. Next, she followed the maid into the guestroom.
The maid first helped to fill up the water in the tub. After Minerva took her bath, she put on herclothes with her help.
"What time is it now?"
"Miss Minerva, it's almost twelve midnight."
It was almost twelve midnight? Minerva was unsure of Vera's whereabouts. When she returned tothe room, she took out her mobile phone and attempted to unlock it clumsily, but to no avail. Hermobile phone needed to be unlocked with fingerprints, yet her fingers were all bandaged.
In the end, Minerva failed to unlock her phone. The only way was to look for Quill in the study room.
Sure enough, the lights in the study were still on.
"Quill."
"Why are you here? Why aren't you resting?" Quill frowned, staring at her with displeasure.novelbin
"Quill, my staff are working overtime today and I'm not there with them. Will it be unsafe for Vera togo home alone? Can you..."
Upon hearing her words, Quill took the hint, nodding. "Okay, you go and rest. I'll pick her up."
"Thank you, Quill."
It was only then that Minerva nodded her head in satisfaction. She returned to her bed.
"Vera, this is your chance. Seize it." When Minerva woke up the next day, she saw Beanie lyingbeside her. He looked at her in a distressed manner.
She paused for a moment and asked softly, "Beanie?"
Beanie stared at her with red- rimmed eyes. Subsequently, his gaze drifted to her fingers. "Mommy,you are injured."
When she heard him, Minerva recalled that her hands were wrapped in gauze and she sighedhelplessly.
"It's just a small injury. It's no big deal."
"Mommy, you’re lying!" Beanie snorted and pointed at her finger angrily. "If it's a minor injury, therewouldn't be so much gauze on your fingers. Mommy... What happened? Tell me, I'll avenge you!"
Minerva smiled faintly. "It's no biggie. It's just that I accidentally touched a piece of broken glassyesterday. I'll be fine in a few days."
Beanie jumped over and hugged her neck, rubbing it affectionately. "Mommy, can you bring mewhen you go to work next time?"
"No." Although Minerva's hand was bandaged with gauze, she managed to raise her hand andstroked his head tenderly. "I have no time to take care of you during work. You have to take goodcare of yourself at home. And... Since we have returned home, we should stay here. Originally, Iwanted to admit you to a school in San Novia, but... Since your uncle has established a newcompany for us, I'm thinking of buying a house here. After I admit you to a school, I will buy onenearby."
Upon hearing that he would be attending school, he muttered, "Mommy, I don't want to go to school.I want to stick with you forever."
After saying that, Beanie hugged Minerva's neck tightly.
"Stop. I can't breathe unless you release your hand now." Minerva coughed, speaking in anunfriendly manner. Beanie then released his grip on her neck.
"How can you not study? If you are illiterate, I will have to take care of you all the time."
"Humph, I don't need you to raise me. I can raise myself and take care of you as well!"
As soon as she heard him, Minerva couldn't help bursting into laughter. "Okay, then I will wait foryou. Therefore, you still have to attend school. In the future, don't you want to serve the country asa police officer?"
"Right." Beanie nodded his head. "I will listen to you."
"You are a good boy."
Knock, knock.
"Minerva?"
"It's Auntie Vera. I'll open the door." Beanie quickly jumped out of the bed and went to open thedoor.
"Auntie Vera."
"Ah, Beanie, good morning!" Vera came in stealthily and touched Beanie's head. She walked overto Minerva after that.
Minerva sat up, leaning against the bed.
"What brings you here?"
"I came to check on you. How are you feeling today?" Vera walked to the bedside and sat down.Beanie, who was next to her, ran to another side obediently.
"I'm fine. The doctor took care of my hand last night and I'll recover after a few days."
"Why don't you rest at home for a couple of days?"
"No way." Minerva shook her head. "I have to go to the office. I have to review their new designs inperson."
"I'll send them to you, alright?"
"No. By the way, my hand is injured and I can't access my mobile phone. Can you help me check ifthere are any calls or new requests from the customers?"
Vera went to the table and took her cell phone. She then entered Minerva's password.
"Wow, your Facebook has gone viral. Many people have requested to add you as their friend!"
