It was fine if Minerva didn't ask her, but Vera felt guilty when she was asked. She shook her head and answered, "Nothing."

Upon hearing this, Minerva couldn't help but frown. Just as she was about to say something, Juliette smiled and interrupted, "Since you're here, I have some matters to attend to. I'll leave Minerva in your care." Vera stared at her gratefully and nodded, "Don't worry, leave it to me."

"I'm fine. In fact, you don't have to take care of me here all the time. I am not a patient nor a child. I can take care of myself."

"What? No!" Vera shook her head vigorously. "Although you are neither a patient nor a child, you are a fragile pregnant woman. How can I let a pregnant woman stay here all alone?"
