Chapter 401


    The Hanover family.


    It waste at night, yet Quill summoned a doctor to treat the wound on Minerva''s hand.


    "Well, Miss Hanover, for your wound, avoid contact with water for the time being. You''d better get


    yourself excused from work. You will recover in a few days'' time. Remember to only eat light foods


    for the next few days."


    "Thank you very much." Quill indifferently instructed George to send the doctor home.


    "Did you hear the doctor''s advice?"


    Minerva sat on the sofa and said impassively, "I heard it. How am I going to take a bath tonight? Are


    you telling me that I can''t bathe for the next few days?"


    Quill pondered for a while and answered directly, ''Til ask Vera to help you out."


    "Well, I don''t think that''s necessary. In fact, I guess covering my hand will do while I take a bath


    later."


    Quill heaved a sigh and stared silently at Minerva. She immediately felt a little embarrassed and


    chuckled. "Alright, I won''t take a shower. I''ll head upstairs to take a rest. It''s been a long day."


    "Alright."


    When Minerva returned to her room, she found that Beanie had already fallen asleep.


    She went to the bedside and gazed at Beanie. Beanie... resembled that person.


    In the past five years, Quill had been asking her to return to Hidalgo. However, she didn''t do so as


    she refused to see that person again.


    She initially thought that she might not bump into him since North City was arge city. Despite that,


    never did she expect that... she crossed paths with him aftering back for a short while.


    And they met face-to-face...


    That was something that Minerva had never imagined.


    Maddox.


    As she thought of him, her face darkened. She stood up and walked out of the bathroom at a slow


    pace. Suddenly, there was a soft knock at the door.


    Minerva was startled for a moment before she turned to open the door.


    A servant stood outside the door, looking at her respectfully.


    "Miss Minerva, are you nning to take a bath? I can help you out."


    Minerva was slightly taken aback, nodding. "Thene in and help me fill up the water. Be quiet,


    Beanie is asleep."


    The maid thought for a moment and replied softly, "Miss Minerva, how about if you go over to the


    guest room to take a bath? You can return once you''re done with it. I''ll be there to serve you."


    "Alright, I''ll get my clothes."


    Minerva went back to her room to fetch her clothes. Next, she followed the maid into the guest


    room.


    The maid first helped to fill up the water in the tub. After Minerva took her bath, she put on her


    clothes with her help.


    "What time is it now?"


    "Miss Minerva, it''s almost twelve midnight."


    It was almost twelve midnight? Minerva was unsure of Vera''s whereabouts. When she returned to


    the room, she took out her mobile phone and attempted to unlock it clumsily, but to no avail. Her


    mobile phone needed to be unlocked with fingerprints, yet her fingers were all bandaged.


    In the end, Minerva failed to unlock her phone. The only way was to look for Quill in the study room.


    Sure enough, the lights in the study were still on.


    "Quill."


    "Why are you here? Why aren''t you resting?" Quill frowned, staring at her with displeasure.


    "Quill, my staff are working overtime today and I''m not there with them. Will it be unsafe for Vera to


    go home alone? Can you..."


    Upon hearing her words, Quill took the hint, nodding. "Okay, you go and rest. I''ll pick her up."


    "Thank you, Quill."


    It was only then that Minerva nodded her head in satisfaction. She returned to her bed.


    "Vera, this is your chance. Seize it." When Minerva woke up the next day, she saw Beanie lying


    beside her. He looked at her in a distressed manner.


    She paused for a moment and asked softly, "Beanie?"


    Beanie stared at her with red- rimmed eyes. Subsequently, his gaze drifted to her fingers. "Mommy,


    you are injured."


    When she heard him, Minerva recalled that her hands were wrapped in gauze and she sighed


    helplessly.


    "It''s just a small injury. It''s no big deal."


    "Mommy, you’re lying!" Beanie snorted and pointed at her finger angrily. "If it''s a minor injury, there


    wouldn''t be so much gauze on your fingers. Mommy... What happened? Tell me, I''ll avenge you!"


    Minerva smiled faintly. "It''s no biggie. It''s just that I identally touched a piece of broken ss


    yesterday. I''ll be fine in a few days."


    Beanie jumped over and hugged her neck, rubbing it affectionately. "Mommy, can you bring me


    when you go to work next time?"


    "No." Although Minerva''s hand was bandaged with gauze, she managed to raise her hand and


    stroked his head tenderly. "I have no time to take care of you during work. You have to take good


    care of yourself at home. And... Since we have returned home, we should stay here. Originally, I


    wanted to admit you to a school in San Novia, but... Since your uncle has established a new


    company for us, I''m thinking of buying a house here. After I admit you to a school, I will buy one


    nearby."


    Upon hearing that he would be attending school, he muttered, "Mommy, I don''t want to go to school.


    I want to stick with you forever."


    After saying that, Beanie hugged Minerva''s neck tightly.


    "Stop. I can''t breathe unless you release your hand now." Minerva coughed, speaking in an


    unfriendly manner. Beanie then released his grip on her neck.


    "How can you not study? If you are illiterate, I will have to take care of you all the time."


    "Humph, I don''t need you to raise me. I can raise myself and take care of you as well!"


    As soon as she heard him, Minerva couldn''t help bursting intoughter. "Okay, then I will wait for


    you. Therefore, you still have to attend school. In the future, don''t you want to serve the country as


    a police officer?"


    "Right." Beanie nodded his head. "I will listen to you."


    "You are a good boy."


    Knock, knock.


    "Minerva?"


    "It''s Auntie Vera. I''ll open the door." Beanie quickly jumped out of the bed and went to open the


    door.


    "Auntie Vera."


    "Ah, Beanie, good morning!" Vera came in stealthily and touched Beanie''s head. She walked over


    to Minerva after that.

    Minerva sat up, leaning against the bed.


    "What brings you here?"


    "I came to check on you. How are you feeling today?" Vera walked to the bedside and sat down.


    Beanie, who was next to her, ran to another side obediently.


    "I''m fine. The doctor took care of my handst night and I''ll recover after a few days."


    "Why don''t you rest at home for a couple of days?"


    "No way." Minerva shook her head. "I have to go to the office. I have to review their new designs in


    person."


    "I''ll send them to you, alright?"


    "No. By the way, my hand is injured and I can''t ess my mobile phone. Can you help me check if


    there are any calls or new requests from the customers?"


    Vera went to the table and took her cell phone. She then entered Minerva''s password.


    "Wow, your Facebook has gone viral. Many people have requested to add you as their friend!"
