Minerva was stunned by Vera's gaze. As she was about to ask what was wrong with her, she saw her turning around and then walking towards the door. There seemed to be something wrong with her. "What's... going on?" Minerva thought to herself.

She felt that there was something fishy. After all, Vera shouldn't have behaved like that after receiving Quill's phone call. Moreover, she didn't even tell her clearly what had happened.

Unless it was not Quill calling her?

Thinking about that, she started to feel suspicious. After that, she quickly got up and followed along with Vera.

She followed her to the door.

She saw that Vera was almost in front of the door and wanted to reach out to open the door. However, as soon as her hand reached the door handle, she seemed to be frightened. She then withdrew her hand as if an electric shock would happen once she touched it, or as if there was a plague outside the door.

Then, she took a step back and quickly rushed behind Minerva and hid. She could not help making some noises.

In this way...

Minerva felt extremely strange. She glanced outside the door doubtfully. After that, she patted Vera's hand and comforted her in a soft tone, "Don't worry, I will do that."

Then, she went forward and tried to observe who was outside through the peephole.

Originally, the peephole was installed for safety purposes and Minerva used to ignore it. However, at this time, she was so worried because of Vera's overreaction. Hence, she thought that it would be better to see who was outside at that moment

She leaned against the door to take a look outside through the peephole. She was stunned after taking a glimpse.

Then, she retreated and quickly opened the door.

There was a tall and straight figure standing at the door, and his cold face looked even more indifferent under the light of the corridor. Quill's eyes softened for an instant when he met Minerva's eyes. However, he then shifted his gaze to Vera, whose face had turned pale. She was standing behind Minerva. His gaze turned cold in an instant.

Vera shrank her shoulders. At that moment, she really hoped that she could have a hard shell to shrink inside, so she could hide inside without coming out again.
