When Minerva reached home safely, she hugged Vera and said, "Alright, I know that you've been working hard, but just this time. Also... I've already let you kiss my brother so just take me as your future sister- in-law and take care of me."

Vera was originally furious but when she heard Minerva mention Quill, her face turned red from embarrassment.

"What are you talking about? What sister-in-law?"

"What's wrong?" Minerva grabbed hold of her arm and the two of them walked towards the district together. "You don't want to be my sister-in-law?"

"Of course I do but..."

"Then that's good enough."

"Don't just talk about me. What's wrong with you? You went to the hospital in the middle of the night and came back? Did Maddox ask you to do something for him again?"

Minerva shook her head and said with a smile, "It's nothing. It's all over now."

However, Vera stared at her and said, "No, you are lying to me."

Minerva paused. "Vera?"

"You're deliberately joking with me, but Minerva, you and I have known each other for so many years. How can I know if you're really happy or not? Your smile doesn't reach your eyes, yet you're still teasing me? Don't do this next time. We're good friends, so you don't have to pretend to be strong in front of me."

Minerva didn't know how to answer.

"Tell me, what on earth happened?"

Since she had already said so, Minerva could no longer maintain the smile on her face. "It's not a big deal. It's just that I haven't thought it through in my heart yet, so I don't really want to say it." "Forget it, I won't force you if you don't want to say it. Think about it carefully."

"Okay."

The two of them returned to their rooms. Minerva took off her jacket and then went upstairs. Since Beanie had already fallen asleep, she had to go to the guest room next door. She laid down in the darkness after turning off the lights.
