Chapter 728


    Of course, Minerva knew that she gave birth to Beanie. That was why she didn''t want him to suffer


    with her.


    If possible, she wanted him by her side immediately. She was lonely and needed warmth.


    But... What would happen after he was by her side?


    Should she let him watch her emotions breakdown everyday?


    If that was the case, she would be too selfish.


    Thinking of this, Minerva closed her eyes and shook her head.


    "Vera, turn off the video and don''t let him call again."


    "Minerva!"


    "Hang up!" Minerva''s voice grew louder. She raised her head and looked straight into Beanie''s eyes


    in the video. She gritted her teeth and said, "Beanie, listen to me. I don''t allow you to call again. You


    have to study well. I''ll pick you up after I find your daddy."


    He continued to look at her with tears in his eyes.


    "I don''t want to. Mommy, please don''t. I want to look for you now. I don''t want Daddy anymore. I


    only want you."


    Vera was still holding the phone, and Beanie''s crying had echoed in her ear.


    Minerva''s face remained expressionless as she hung up the call and stuffed Vera''s phone under her


    pillow.


    "Minerva, you''re going too far! He''s your son!"


    "So, that''s the reason you let him call me? Vera, you know what''s going on here. Do you want him


    to see me like this?"


    Minerva stared at her with empty eyes. Vera stopped breathing for a moment and said, "I didn''t


    want you to tell him anything. It''s just that Beanie is very depressed. Aren''t you his mother? He just


    wants to talk to you. Is there any problem?"


    "It wouldn''t usually be a problem, but not in this state. I don''t want to see anyone now."


    She didn''t want Beanie to feel down. For him, it was cruel not to talk to him, but what could she


    say? If he knew what had happened, he would definitely want to know the entire story. How should


    she exin it to him then?


    "If Maddox doesn''te back, are you going to keep doing this? Beanie is just a child. He doesn''t


    understand adults'' affairs. Do you understand?''


    Minerva didn''t want to talk to her anymore. She turned her face away in frustration and said with an


    ice-cold voice, "I know that. You can go."


    "Minerva..." Vera refused to give up and called her name. She sat at the edge of the bed and didn''t


    want to leave.


    "Enough, I want to be alone for a moment."


    Seeing that Vera was still sitting at the edge of the bed and refusing to leave, Minerva had no


    choice but to lie down and cover herself with the nket. She no longer paid any attention to Vera.


    Vera had to pack up and leave the ward.


    After leaving, she happened to meet Juliette who was standing outside. Juliette looked at her in


    shock and asked, "What happened? Did you two quarrel?"


    "Don''t mention it. It really angers me when you talk about it."


    Juliette became curious. "What are you angry about? I''m really curious."


    "Beanie is only five years old. He misses his mother and wants to talk to her. It''s normal, isn''t it? But


    Minerva asked Beanie to stop calling her again. It''s very distressing. He cried so badly, but she was


    aloof and indifferent."


    Knowing this, Juliette finally understood why Vera was upset. She chuckled helplessly, and walked


    up to pat her shoulder, softly exining, "It''s just that you''ve never been a mother before, so you


    won''t know a mother''s suffering."

    "I know that Minerva is sad, but after all, Beanie is still too young. It''s fine to lie to him a few times."


    "Have you ever thought about it? Do you really think that Minerva wants to deceive him? If she


    didn''t lie to him, then what is she supposed to say to him? What will Beanie ask?"


    Vera was taken aback. She seemed to have never thought about this.


    "You never thought about this problem at all, right?" Juliette chuckled. Then, she continued, "You


    are too young, so you can''t think in other people''s shoes. Of course, I know that Beanie wants to


    see Minerva right now, and this is normal for his age. However, just think of how huge of an impact


    these things had on Minerva. Even if she wanted to pull herself together, it would still take time for


    that. How long has this thing happened and you want Minerva to tell Beanie directly that something


    happened to his father? It is excruciating for her to say this thing out loud. It will only add insult to


    her injuries. Do you understand what I mean?"


    These words made Vera choke. After thinking for a long time, she couldn''t force out any words. Her


    lips twitched and she looked at Juliette with a conflicted expression.


    After a long while, she seemed to have thought it through. "Then what should we do? I''ve already


    made the call. I thought that Minerva didn''t care about her son so I lost my temper with her. I even


    said that she went too far."


    "It has nothing to do with you. Aren''t you good friends with her? Minerva knows this in her heart, but


    she is not in the mood tofort you now or to exin this to you. When everything is better, you


    guys can talk it out and everything will be back to normal."


    Vera stared at Juliette in a daze. For the first time, she felt that the woman in front of her was very


    attractive. She heard that she used to like Quill, but in the end, she did not win over his heart. Then,


    she married another person. Now, she was married and was already a mother. She was living a


    happy life.


    In front of Quill, Juliette didn''t seem to be awkward at all, as if she had never liked him before.


    He did not even take a liking to such an outstanding woman. How would he take a liking to a


    woman like her?


    "What''s wrong? It seems that you still have doubts?"


    Vera was hesitating. Should she ask Juliette about her feelings and if she had ever confessed her


    love to Quill?


    But she was already married and a mother. If she asked such questions then it would be seen as


    though she was off-key, right?


    Thinking of this, Vera shook her head and answered, "It''s nothing."


    The girl could not hide her emotions. Everything was written on her face. Although she said that it


    was nothing, the expression on her face implied that there was something wrong.


    Juliette was much older than Vera, thus she looked at her as if she was looking at her own younger


    sister. Hence, at this moment, she smirked helplessly and pulled Vera to sit down on a nearby chair.


    "Don''t keep it in your heart, I know you have something in mind. It''s not worth resisting the urge. I''m


    older than you, and I''ve experienced a lot of things. If you have any doubts, you can ask me.


    Although my answer might not be the one you might be looking for, I can help ease your worries."


    Juliette was like an older sister. Her voice was warm and clear, giving Vera a sense of affinity.
