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."

After Juliette left, she walked up to Minerva and asked, "Minerva, do you want some water? I'll pour some for you." Hearing this, Minerva couldn't help but frown. She looked at her thoughtfully. Vera felt guilty, thus she lowered her head.

"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?"

A pregnant woman...

Minerva lowered her head and caressed her lower abdomen.

She really didn't expect that she would have another life in her belly but at this very moment...

She closed her eyes and let out a heavy sigh.

She hoped that Maddox would return soon.

Back in the country.

Not long after the news regarding Maddox being involved in a plane crash was spread, the shareholders of the company all found out about this. However, the strange thing was that they were all calm and composed. It seemed like they didn't even know Maddox was involved in a crash.

Everyone was at ease.
