Female Novel
Chapter 484
When Minerva returned to the Hanover family's house, she went straight to the kitchen and cookedsoup by herself.
She thought that Maddox must have some light food since he was injured so badly.
Furthermore, she was still thinking about how he was going to sleep at night with his back hurt. Itwas impossible for him to lay down on his back. After all, pressing on the wound would only worsenthe wound.
Then would he have to lay down?
Whenever she thought of how a tall and big figure had ended up on the small bed in the ward andforced to lay face down, she couldn't help but want to laugh at the thought of it.
After laughing for a while, Minerva felt that he was also in a miserable state at that moment. If itwasn't for her, his back wouldn't have been injured like that. If not for him, the person laying therewas probably her and not him.
Moreover, if he hadn't blocked it for her at that time, then she was afraid that her face and bodywould have already been...
After thinking carefully, Minerva didn't dare to think any further. She quickly cooked the soup andthen took out a thermos to pour the soup into it. After thinking for some time, she cooked a fewmore light dishes herself.
Her cooking skills were quite good. She had always been able to cook, but she hadn't been cookingfrequently for long. It was because Vera's cooking skills were much better than hers and Beaniealso liked it better. Thus, while they had been living together all these time, Vera basically cooked allthe meals.
Although her culinary skills might have been a little out of practice, they were still around.
Minerva quickly finished tidying up the things. She carried the thermos and was about to leave thehouse.
Just as she walked out of the kitchen, she bumped into Quill, who had a cold expression on hisface.
Minerva felt a little guilty as she faced Quill's stern gaze. She shifted the thermos in her hand to theother side in an attempt to avoid Quill's gaze.
But what was the use of that? How could Quill not know what she wanted to do?
No matter how hard she tried to cover it, it would not be of much use.
Thinking of this, Minerva could only stand still and then looked at Quill.
"Quill."
No matter what, she had to greet him.
Quill pressed his thin lips together, and his eyes were a little cold then he said, "You still know toaddress me, is it?"
Minerva replied, "Why wouldn't I?"
"Do you still remember who hurt you five years ago?
Have you forgotten all about it?" Quill stared at her sharply. "Five years; five whole years havepassed, and you have really forgotten all of it? Now you even send yourself voluntarily to him.Minerva, where's your pride?"
"What do you think I should do then? That man took the blow for me, and now he is lying in thehospital with wounds all over his body. If it wasn't for him, the person who would be lying there rightnow would be me. The person who would be bringing food over would be you. Are you still going tostop me now?"
Quill said, "Then you must know that if it wasn't for him, you wouldn't have been in trouble in the firstplace. If you get close to him again, there will still be more trouble in the future. He can help youonce but what about the second or third time when these kinds of things happen again? Or even forthe rest of your life?"
Minerva's expression changed slightly when she heard him.novelbin
"I am not thinking about all that now. I don't have any other thoughts about him. Even if it was astranger who had helped me, I would still go to the hospital to do my part. I am just being kind andrighteous; there are no personal feelings involved."
Quill stared at her. "Are you sure ? Can you promise me that you won't get together with himanymore?"
Minerva nodded, "Sure, I promise. I've never had the thought of being together with him again soyou don't have to worry about this. Also, I want to tell you that no matter if I end up being togetherwith him or not, it's my own business. I have the ability to handle it myself."
Quill walked over and grabbed her shoulder.
"I don't want to control you. You are the daughter of the Hanover family now. I don't want you torepeat the same mistakes as before. Do you understand?"
"I understand; of course I understand. However, I am not a child anymore. How can you understandmy thoughts? I want to make decisions for my own life, and not... be led by others as well as the life
that others have prepared for me. I don't want to live that kind of life."
Quill stared at her and did not say anything. He then let go of her shoulder and turned to leave.
She didn't know if Quill understood her or not, but she didn't want to think too much, so she leftquickly holding the thermos.
Quill walked over to the comer and turned his head to look at the figure that didn't look back. Hiseyes darkened.
Vera stood behind him and said in a weak voice, "Mr, Mr. Hanover, don't be angry. Minerva is asofthearted person. No matter who saved her from harm, she would take care of them. She didn'tgo to the hospital because of him. It was because of what he did."
Vera had been avoiding Quill for a long time ever since the last time she kissed him. She hadgathered up all her courage when she called him and she faltered when she spoke. However, themore times she appeared around him, Vera found that she was not so nervous anymore.
The kiss had happened already. What's the big deal anyways?
An old man who has never been in a relationship; what would happen even if he was kissed by agirl?
Hmph, you can't just fall in love with a kiss, can you? If you really fall in love with her, and havefeelings for her...
Then wouldn't it be... an advantage for her?
Thinking of this, Vera became more justified.
The Prince Charming was not young anymore and time wouldn't wait, so she should better cherishit now. Otherwise, if she waited for a few more years, her Prince Charming would get even older!
While thinking about it, Quill looked at Vera. She shivered and felt that all the thoughts in her mindjust now were all gone.
She bit her lower lip and said, "Well... I'm just telling the truth. Minerva and I have known each otherfor a long time, so..."
When she bit her lower lip, Quill thought of what had happened that day.
The little girl in front of him had suddenly come up to kiss him. No one had shocked him like thatbefore, so this matter had affected him for a long time. Even at night, it would also appear in hisdreams.
Vera shivered under his gaze and she took a step back subconsciously.
"Then... If you think what I said is wrong, then I, I will... leave first."
After saying that, she was ready to turn around.
Quill suddenly stopped her and said, "You."
Vera stopped and then she turned around while pointing at herself, "Me?"
"Yes." Quill's eyes were calm as they landed on her face. Finally, his eyes shifted to her lips.
His focus was so obvious that Vera could feel it all at once. Then, instantly, she felt her face burning.She was so embarrassed that she did not dare to look at him and asked, "What's wrong?"
Quill didn't say a word. He silently took two steps forward and the steady aura on his body pressedover.
Vera's face suddenly turned red and she took a big step back.
"You, what are you doing? Don't come over!"
After saying that, she turned around and ran away!
