Recalling what had just happened, Vera stole a glance at Minerva from the corner of her eyes.

She saw that Minerva was looking at her full of concern.

"I'm sorry for making you suffer for me. He didn't make things difficult for you, did he?"

The look of care in her eyes made Vera even more afraid to face her. She felt guilty as if she had done something bad to her.

"No, he didn't. I'm just startled."

"Okay." Minerva felt relieved.

"In fact..." Vera raised her head, looking at Minerva. She wanted to say something, but on second thought, stopped.

A puzzled look appeared on Minerva's face. "Hmm? What's wrong?"

"Nothing." Vera lowered her head and did not dare to look her in the eyes.

Forget it, since she had already given Minerva the bottle, it would be best for her not to say anything.

Someone was knocking on the bedroom door. Both women in the room straightened themselves in an instant with their faces turning pale at the same time. It was Maddox!

Minerva turned to Vera, asking for help. Vera could only nod at Minerva.

"Minerva?" A deep male voice came from outside. Hearing his voice, Minerva subconsciously grabbed the bedsheet beneath her and bit her lower lip but did not reply. "Can I come in?" After Maddox asked, he then twisted the doorknob without waiting for an answer from inside.
