From the moment Juliette told Quill that Minerva was pregnant, he had been frowning all night. He had been furrowing his brows tightly and pursing his lips. Moreover, he gave off an uninviting vibe. The nurse who came to check on Minerva was so frightened by Quill that she retreated. However, she still had to do her job, so she ran out as quickly as possible once she was done examining her. Juliette was Quill's secretary, and she had been by his side for so many years. She was used to his temper.

Maddox was missing, the wedding was a complete mess, and now, Minerva was pregnant.

If... something really happened to Maddox, Minerva and the child were going to suffer.

Juliette was still optimistic that Maddox was going to come back in one piece.

However, life might not go the way she wanted it to.

There were a lot of things that were beyond control.

After thinking for some time, she suddenly stood up, walked over to Quill, and sat down beside him. "The doctor said Miss Minerva is very weak, but she is fine. Both mother and child are lucky."

Quill's eyes moved, but he still pressed his lips tightly together and kept quiet.

Juliette said, "Actually, I think... this child came at the right time. At least... it'll be good for Miss Minerva." Quill, who didn't move for the entire night, suddenly raised his head when he heard this, saying, "Good?" She sighed in her heart.

She knew what he was thinking. She knew exactly what to do.

She smiled faintly and replied gently, "Yes, President Hanover. To put it bluntly... Right now, we don't know if Young Master Yardley is alive or not. Miss Minerva only wants to look for him and be with him, but both of us have been to the crash site. Unless... Young Master Yardley did not fall into that sea, otherwise... After last night's thunderstorm, only a handful of people would survive. Tomorrow won't be as sunny as we hoped. President Hanover, can you understand where I'm going with this?"

He pressed his thin lips together, and his eyes darkened a little.

Perhaps.

The tides were very ferocious. With a thunderstorm added into the equation... How many of them would be this lucky to survive that?

The rescue might find floating bodies instead.

People were always hopeful.
