After a while, Quill raised his head again and spoke in a lukewarm tone.

"You've been working hard for the past few days."

Vera was somewhat flattered and shook her head. "Not at all. It's just... I want to see Minerva, is that okay?"

Although her Prince Charming was very important... close friends were more important than that.

To Vera, Minerva still came first.

"Let's go."

When Vera was taken to Minerva's ward, Juliette was taking care of her. When Juliette saw her coming, the expression on her face changed slightly. "Vera? Have you finished handling the affairs in Hidalgo?" "Yes, everything has been dealt with. I heard that Minerva has a fever?"

They were afraid to wake Minerva, so they deliberately lowered their voices as they spoke. Juliette nodded.
