Perfect Mysterious Husband (Maddox and Kimberly)

"Ah!" Vera was startled and screamed while getting up to help. "Minerva, are you okay?" That violent reaction from her threw everyone for a loop. Her face was pale from the vomiting; she couldn't even straighten her back. Her forehead was beaded with sweat.

Minerva was not looking good.

Juliette, who was standing at the side, noticed this but kept silent. She turned around and went straight to call the doctor.

"I'm sorry, Minerva. Did I feed you too quickly, I'm sorry... I didn't take into account that you'd just woken up. I should have slowed down." After Vera helped her up, she started tearing up. Minerva's breathing was shallow as she leaned on the pillow and panted heavily. She was obviously struggling to breathe. Vera could only place an arm on her back and pat her lightly. "I'm really sorry. I'll pour you a glass of water, okay?" "Let her rest for a while." Quill frowned at the scene, and got the janitors outside to clean up the mess. Soon, Juliette cwith the doctor in tow. The ward was buzzing with activity.

Minerva looked at the person in front of her.

Vera's eyes were watery and her face was full of guilt and restlessness.

Quill, beside her, also looked a little pale. He looked like he had aged in just a few days; he looked worse than before.

Juliette told the doctor what had happened and the doctor checked Minerva's condition. Then, he spoke to them sincerely.

She felt her ears buzzing. After she threw up, she felt very tired. Her body was too weak. She laid back on the bed and said softly, "I want to rest alone for a while." Everyone was dumbfounded.

Vera sniffed and asked, "Will you be alright alone?" Quill glanced at her seriously, paused for a while, then said, "Leave her be." After that, he went out of the ward.

Vera glanced at Juliette, still hesitating. She shot her a look, then the two of them went out together and closed the door behind them.

After they went out, Vera immediately becanxious.

"Why? She's very poorly now. If we leave her alone inside..." "Don't worry." Juliette explained, "Miss Minerva is an adult. She'll change when we don't pamper her." "But you saw what happened this time. Do you know how big of an impact it had on her?" "Precisely because it had such a huge impact on her, she needs to have a change of mind. She's doing everything she can to convince herself because she can't accept Young Master Yardley's death. This... is even more difficult than just accepting it. Do you understand? It's difficult but... at the stime, it'll be easy if she comes around." Life was just this cruel sometimes.

But weren't they all the same? Swould resort to anything for comfort, even if it was all lies, because that comfort was easier to accept than the truth.

Maybe a person's whole life consisted of them consoling themselves and getting by with that fake comfort. Vera didn't say anything. She leaned against the door and looked at Minerva through the window. She really hoped that she would caround and regain her cheer quickly.

Minerva slept for a long time. When she woke up, her eyes were hollow. Vera prepared hot oatmeal for her again. This time, Vera only fed her half of a small bowl of food. Every tshe took a bite, Vera would carefully observe her reaction before feeding her again.

"I'm fine. What happened in the morning was an accident. It won't happen again," Minerva reassured her Even if it did happen, she would not let these people, who cared about her, see her in that state. "Really? I'm worried that your stomach is upset. If you feel any discomfort, please tell me," Vera pleaded. "Alright," Minerva replied.

After the oatmeal was nearly all gone, Vera cleared it away. She told Minerva that she'd feed her again once she made sheadway in recovery. When she heard her request to meet Quill, Vera went wide-eyed right away.

"Your brother, he..." "I just want to ask him if he has found Maddox. Vera, you don't need to stoplike that," said Minerva. Vera felt a little relieved when she heard how calm she sounded, so she went to ask Quill to enter the ward. When he arrived, he went straight to the point.

"We haven't found him yet, but we still have people out searching for him. Minerva, Maddox has not been found yet. Do you understand my meaning?" He asked.

She nodded. He didn't know whether she really understood.

After a long time, she let out a bitter laugh. "Quill, I know what you're trying to say. No news is good news. It means that... there's still a chance of him being alive, right?" Since she had said what he didn't dare to, he could only nod.

"I know it's better that he's missing than to see his corpse with my own eyes. This way, there's still a glimpse of hope... I know that nothing will happen to Maddox. So many people survived. Luck will be on his side. Am I right, Quill?" As she asked that, she raised her head and looked at him, seeking his acknowledgment.

He didn't know what to say in reply; he could only nod his head obediently.

After a long while, he walked forward and gently patted her head. He said softly, "Minerva, I'm very happy that you're optimistic. Do you know that you're already pregnant?" Minerva's lips twitched. She lowered her eyes and looked at her lower abdomen. "I suspected as much."

"I had a hunch before, but I wasn't sure. I wanted Maddox... to bringfor a checkup after the wedding. If I'm really pregnant, as a weaveen....

take it gift fromto him," she continued. When she spoke, a warm smile appeared on her face. "He'll definitely be delighted to know that I'm pregnant. Quill... If this news is released to the public, do you think he'll cback earlier?" He answered, "He will." "Well then, I'll be waiting for him over here. I'll leave the matter of my pregnancy to you," Minerva said.

"You can rest assured." He clenched his fists, looking at his sister om resolutely. "As long as he still walks this earth, will definitely find him for you. I'll have him cback to you safe and sound." Of course, he left something unsaid... If Maddox was no longer in this world, what could he do? "Quill, I'll keep it in mind. You must keep your promise." She thought to herself, "Maddox, you have to keep your promise too. Just as you promisedbefore, you have to givea surprise." "I believe that you're still alive, safe and sound. I'm waiting for your surprise."

In the following days, she recuperated in the hospital. At first, Quill stayed there everyday, but since there were many things in Hidalgo that he needed to deal with, he returned. Upon his return to the country, he discovered something even more problematic on the horizon. It was Beanie.

Because Minerva knew that the media would be present at the wedding, and she didn't want Beanie to be harassed by the media, she didn't allow him to attend the wedding.
