Thus when she went to find Quill, she fell asleep on the sofa waiting for him to finish his meeting.

Vera didn't even notice when he came in.

She was sleeping like a log.

Quill didn't wake her but went to the lounge and got a blanket to cover her, preventing her from catching a cold before he went back to work.

He thought she would wake up midway.

However, she was still dead asleep when he finished work.

Quill finally realized that something was amiss. Somewhat worried, he went to her only to find her breathing steady and her face rosy.

However, the dark circles beneath her eyes were obvious on her pale face.

Was that why she had slept for so long that day?

What had his girl been doing lately?

Thinking of this, Quill knelt in front of the sofa and slowly reached out.

His warm fingertips fell extremely lightly around Vera's eyes, like a dragonfly skimming the surface of the water.

The door to his office was ajar, so Yulia happened to see it when she was about to knock on it.

She was dumbfounded for a while.

She was surprised to see Quill, who was usually cold and restrained, looking so gentle; kneeling in front of Vera, touching her eyes oh-so-carefully.
