Minerva felt hopeless.

Vera felt awkward as she didn't know things would end up that way. She was already suffocating from Maddox's presence in the room. Now that Quill was there, Vera felt as if she couldn't breathe at all. All of a sudden, Minerva spoke.

"Can we make a deal? Can you two leave?"

Maddox didn't speak.

Neither did Quill.

After a while, Quill asked faintly, "What's wrong?"

Vera met his eyes and quickly shifted her gaze away, pretending that she didn't notice it. She let Minerva answer his question, "We want to chat for a bit. Can't you two go out and talk?"

"No." Before Quill could say anything, Maddox had already rejected Minerva's request. He fixed his gaze on Minerva as if he didn't mind the tiredness in his eyes at all, "I need to keep an eye on you." The doctor had already warned that the baby could come within these two days, and her family must stay by her side at all times, just in case. Maddox had survived for a long while, so he couldn't slack off these two days.

Vera felt that Maddox would definitely not leave just by listening to their conversation. He would probably stay by Minerva's side until she delivered. After thinking about it, Vera asked tentatively, "Why don't I visit you tomorrow?"

Minerva looked at her resentfully, and Vera suddenly felt guilty. She really wanted to accompany Minerva. If Maddox wasn't there, she could even stay with her for the night. Although she was close with Minerva, she was still quite afraid of Maddox.

Just when Vera was about to say something else, Quill opened his mouth at that time.

"Actually, you don't have to keep such a close eye on Minerva. Giving birth isn't such a horrifying thing. Besides, isn't she only due in another two days? It would still be fine if you stay by her side when she delivers."

Maddox sneered when he heard Quill's words as he didn't agree with him at all.

"Let's see if you can discuss this calmly with me when your wife is due."

All it took was one refute to shut Quill up.
