Chapter 515


    The mother and son fed the cat downstairs, and the cat rubbed its head against Minerva''s palm


    intimately. It probably knew that it was dirty, so it didn''t dare to rub against other ces.


    When Beanie reached out to touch it, it did not resist too much. It gently allowed him to pet its head.


    "Mommy, the cat is so obedient and the kitten is so pitiful. Why don''t we raise them?"


    Minerva thought the same, so she nodded and said, "Okay, let''s take care of them, but it''s toote


    today, so we''ll have to wait until tomorrow. When the timees, we''ll put the cats in a box and


    send them to the vet for a check-up. After that, we''ll bring them home."


    "Alright."


    Soon, the two of them returned upstairs and the big cat also went back into the grass.


    After returning upstairs, Vera had already prepared dinner, so the four of them gathered together to


    eat.


    During the meal, the atmosphere was a bit subdued. Because of the little rtionship between Vera


    and Quill, Vera felt a little conscious and she didn''t dare to raise her head to look at him. She felt


    that she could see his lips as soon as she looked up and could even imagine their softness.


    Thinking of this, Vera had to lower her head to eat, while chastising herself inwardly at the same


    time.


    The tension between Minerva and Quill was probably because of Maddox.


    Because of the previous incident, she felt that there was a little gap between them, so the meal was


    also full of misgivings.


    Quill, on the other hand, was very calm.


    He tasted a dish; it didn''t taste bad.


    He tried another and also felt that it was not bad.


    He and Beanie shared their opinions. Minerva and Vera looked at each other in speechless despair.


    After the meal, Minerva thought that the tension between her and Quill would be gone.


    "I''m going to clean up the dishes," Minerva said. When she put down the te, she stood up to


    clear the dishes. Vera also hurried to help. The two of them cleaned up and went into the kitchen


    together.


    As soon as Minerva brought the dishes into the kitchen, the mobile phone in her pocket vibrated.


    She put down the tes and cutlery, washed her hands and took out her mobile phone to have a


    look.


    Only then did she realize that it was a Facebook message from Maddox.


    There was nothing else in the message he sent, but a pitiful emoticon, followed by a sentence.


    "Are you not free yet?"


    When Minerva saw this sentence, she was stunned for a moment. Then, she realized that when she


    was in the hospital, she seemed to have told him that she would bring him dinner if she was free.


    But now...


    Minerva nced at the time. It was already around eight o''clock in the evening.


    He still hadn''t eaten anything yet?


    Thinking of this, Minerva replied with a message.


    "I don''t have time yet. You haven''t had dinner?"


    After sending the reply, Minerva was just about to put her phone away when Maddox replied very


    quickly. He actually replied to her directly.


    "No, I haven''t. When are you going toe?"


    Seeing this, Minerva''s heart instantly softened.


    She had already eaten, but Maddox was still waiting for her.


    If she didn''t go, would she be too cruel?


    However...


    On second thought, Minerva felt that this was a trick of his.


    After all, in recent days, he always relied on his injuries and would pretend to be pitiful. Obviously,


    there were some things that he could do by himself, but he did not do it and had to rely on her.


    It was the same now. Since she had decided to leave, then she should be more ruthless. She


    should not allow him to deceive her with just a few words. Thinking of this, Minerva replied.


    "I don''t have time. Deal with it yourself."


    After that, Minerva turned her phone to silent mode and then put it back into her pocket. She was


    determined not to look at anymore messages from Maddox.


    "What''s the matter?" Vera, who was at a side, asked with a teasing smile.


    Her smile was so provocative that Minerva didn''t want to attend to her. She rolled up her sleeves


    and turned on the tap to wash the leftovers in her te. She noticed that Vera was still leaning


    against the counter at the side and was smiling mischievously.


    Minerva sneered and said, "Stopughing. Believe it or not, I''ll throw you in front of my brother. Let''s


    have your Prince Charming see what you look like now?"


    As soon as Quill was mentioned, the smug smile and expression on Vera''s face disappeared. She


    pursed her lips and whined at Minerva, "Minerva, you''re too bad. Don''t always use your brother to


    pressure me."


    "Oh? When did I use him to pressure you?" Minerva raised her brows. "It''s obvious that you were


    afraid of him and did something that made you feel guilty. Otherwise... Why were you so afraid in


    the past?"


    Vera let out a snort when she mentioned this. She walked in front of the dishes sullenly and helped


    Minerve with them.


    After a short while, Vera couldn''t help but ask curiously.


    "Just now... Was it Maddox who sent you a message? It''s sote now. What did he send you? Did


    he ask you to go to the hospital again?"


    After all, Minerva had been to the hospital recently. It was rare that she wouldn''t go.


    Minerva nodded and said, "You''re right, but he''s almost recovered from his injuries. I should leave


    now."


    "You''ve taken care of him for so long. If you suddenly leave, would he get used to it?" Vera''s words


    caused Minerva to pause. She then frowned. "What does it have to do with me even if he doesn''t


    get used to it?"


    "Oh," Vera responded, thenughed and said, "So you won''t go out tonight?"


    "No, I won''t," Minerva nodded. "There are many people around him who can take care of him.


    Coupled with the fact that I''ve taken care of him meticulouslytely, I''ve done my best."


    Vera didn''t say anything else, seeing how Minerva would always say that she was just fulfilling her


    responsibility.


    They washed the dishes and then left the kitchen together.


    Minerva went upstairs to take a shower and rest, leaving Vera, Beanie and Quill in the living room


    downstairs.


    In order to make herself more busy, Minerva even washed her hair on purpose.


    However, when the water from the shower head fell on Minerva''s head and soaked her whole body,


    her mind was filled with the image of Maddox getting injured and lying in the ward. Then, she


    recalled the grief in Maddox''s eyes.


    Minerva felt that she must be out of her mind, which was why she had that thought.


    She shook her head to remove those thoughts, and then scrubbed on some shampoo and


    proceeded with shower gel.


    When she came out of the bathroom, it was almost an hourter.


    Minerva''s eyes unconsciously nced at the clock on the wall. It was already 9:30pm.


    He shouldn''t still be waiting for her, right?


    For some reason, Minerva felt a little guilty as she blew her hair dry. Then, she sat down at the


    dressing table and applied skincare products on her face. In front of her was a phone on silent


    mode.


    She bit her lower lip, but in the end, she decided not to get her cell phone.


    No matter what, since she had already made up her mind, she would not care about what


    happened to him.


    As long as it was time, he wouldn''t be able to wait even if he wanted to. At that time, he would call


    for help.


    Well, that''s right.


    Beanie pushed the door open and rubbed his eyes. "Mommy, I''m sleepy."


    Minerva pinched his cheeks then said, "Have you taken a shower? If you have, you''ll have to brush


    your teeth and go to sleep."


    "Okay, I''ll brush my teeth. Goodnight, Mommy."Content held by N?velDrama.Org.
