Quill frowned as looked at the petite figure running away from his sight. He didn't have time to react.

Vera quickly ran upstairs and hid in her room; her heart was beating fast.

"What's going on?" Quill walked towards her and if she was not mistaken as to where he was looking at, he had stared at her lips.

Could it be that... He wanted to talk to her about how she had suddenly kissed him that day?

Thinking of this, Vera quickly reached out and placed her hands on her chest. "What are you jumping for? How could you be so disappointing?"

After thinking about it, she regretted it a little. Why did she run away when Quill took the initiative to approach her just now? She should have taken that great opportunity to tease him again, shouldn't she?

For example, she could ambush him and kiss him again?

What a good idea!

But... She had wasted such a great opportunity.

"Sob..." Vera covered her cheeks with her hands and started to cry.

In the hospital...

By the time Minerva arrived at the hospital with the thermos, it had already been more than an hour.

When she entered the ward, there was a flash of joy in Maddox's dark eyes, but it was quickly replaced by sadness. He sat there with a gloomy face and he didn't greet her.

Minerva didn't bother to talk to him also. She placed the thermos on the table and opened the lid.

As soon as the lid was opened, the aroma of food wafted out, and it soon filled the entire ward.

Maddox had waited for a long time. Furthermore, he had rushed over to her without even having a meal when he received her call. His stomach was empty now. As such, when he smelled the aroma of food, it felt as if his stomach was feeling restless inside.

He frowned slightly and thought to himself, "This woman..."

Thinking of this, his throat moved, but he didn't say a word in the end.

Minerva placed the soup into a bowl. Considering that it was inconvenient for him as he was injured, she specially brought the food right in front of him.

"Eat it."
