The room was so silent that anyone could hear a needle dropping on the ground.

Minerva sat on the sofa alone. She curled herself up and made no sound.

Vera sat by the side and her gaze and expression were inexplicable.

Minerva was silent. She did not dare to say anything without thinking. She was afraid that her words would affect how she felt.

They didn't know what was going on downstairs, but it had been a long time since she came up here and she didn't hear anything downstairs. She wanted to head down to have a look, but she was afraid that she might interrupt them.

Therefore, she was currently in a dilemma.

After a long time, Vera remained where she was sitting. She finally couldn't help but stand up as her limbs were going numb.

"Why don't I go down and take a look?"

She had only taken one step before she heard Minerva speak.

No "Minerva?" Vera stared at her in surprise, "The person who should be curious now is you. We've been here for quite some time now. Don't you want to know how they're doing?" Minerva was silent. She only shook her head lightly.

In fact, she didn't need to think to know how they were getting along. Beanie resembled Maddox so much. Based on Maddox's personality, how could he not figure it out?

She was just wondering how he would react after he figured out the truth.

She kept this truth from him for five whole years.

Would he be annoyed? Tired of her? Hate her?

Seeing that she froze where she was, Vera gritted her teeth and said, "I'll go down. Don't stop me."

"Vera!"

Minerva called out to her loudly. She paused and turned back to look at her.
