Think for herself?

"Do I have to?" Minerva blinked her eyes. From the way she looked at Quill, it seemed his words did not resonate with her.

"I'm doing extremely well... Tell me quickly, did the search team not go out today? What are they doing? How can they just leave it be without attempting to rescue them?"

The more she spoke, the more emotional she became. She pushed Quill's arm away with all her strength, wanting to get off the bed.

"Enough!" He scolded her sternly, "The search and rescue team went there today, but all they found were corpses!"

Minerva paused, rooted to the spot in a daze. After a long while, she raised her head and stared at him blankly.

For a moment, she seemed to be scoffing. "What do you mean?"

"Minerva, you're not a fool. You should know very well what I mean."

The twisted smile on her lips grew wider. "I should know? Quill, are you saying that

Maddox is dead?"

His pupils contracted slightly. The word 'dead' had been circling in his mind throughout the conversation. However, he did not dare say it out loud. He could only speak in a roundabout way about it; he did not expect Minerva to be so blunt.

He did not answer her question. Instead, he put a hand on her shoulder and took a deep breath. Then, he said softly, "Don't worry. Just sit here first. The doctor will come and check you out."

"Quill, even if I die doing so, I have to see his corpse with my own eyes. Otherwise... I won't acknowledge it." Minerva raised her head and looked straight into his eyes. "I get your meaning, but you said that the search team went to collect corpses. What about Maddox's corpse?"
