The next day, Minerva woke up with a pair of puffy eyes. When Vera met her, she was shocked.

"F*ck, what the hell did you do? Your eyes are really swollen..."

Minerva did not reply. Instead, she took a towel and rinsed it with cold water. Then, she wrung it and pressed it against her eyes gently.

"That won't work," Vera helplessly said from the side. She looked at Minerva's skinny back and said with a pained expression, "I found that you've been smiling less ever since you returned. If I had known that you would be like this, we shouldn't have returned back then."

"No." Minerva was still pressing the towel against her eyes as she denied. "Why shouldn't I come back? This is where I grew up. This decision has nothing to do with anyone else."

"But... You don't seem happy."

Vera couldn't continue the last sentence.

"I'm fine." Minerva smiled faintly. "I'm fine.

You don't have to worry about me. After all, five years have passed. Are you afraid that I won't be able to make it through this period of time?"

Vera, however, criticized her secretly.

"You've been there for five years, but what kind of days did you live through when you were there?"

She devoted herself to her designing career like a madwoman and everyday after she got home, she slept as if she was exhausted. Later, after Beanie had grown up enough to be able to call her 'Mommy' and even hug her lovingly, only then did Minerva have better judgment.

All these years, Vera had been watching Minerva and her heart ached for her.

Since she had returned because of Maddox, Vera's resentment towards Maddox grew even stronger.
