Seeing she was in pain, Quill wanted to walk toward her, but she screamed at him not to.

As if his mere existence irritated Vera, he stopped in his tracks. "Alright, I won't come any closer, but you need to calm down."

With that, Vera took a few deep breaths and eventually managed to compose herself.

However, the dull ache in her stomach still did not disappear completely. With a pale face, she moved toward the elevator while using the wall as support. Quill didn't follow her, worried she might pass out from agitation.

Vera didn't turn back to look either but went straight back home. Probably because she was too emotional earlier, she collapsed on the sofa.

The pain in her stomach slowly faded. Vera poured herself a glass of water then looked at her stomach, fearful.

It had happened twice that day. Was there something wrong with the baby?

At that thought, she became distressed but also annoyed at her reaction.

How could she still be worried about her baby when things had led to this?

If she was rational, she shouldn't have kept the baby. However, they weren't Quill's alone.

Her blood was running through the baby too. They couldn't choose their mother, and it would be unfair for the baby to be abandoned just because she had ended it all. Moreover, she truly anticipated the baby's arrival.

Vera felt that she had won the lottery when she found out she was pregnant. Even happier than when Quill asked her to be his girlfriend.

How miserable.

Vera closed her eyes and curled up on the sofa.
