He watched as Yulia spoke about the person she liked. He had never seen such an expression before.
It was not an infatuation, but a sacred hope.
That was the first time he had seen such an expression on her face. When she mentioned the man, there was only yearning in her eyes. There was no other meaning, just pure love and adoration.
Jasper's pursuit of her previously might be a joke, but now, he was doing it seriously. He wanted desperately to be the man whom she was in love with.
His father and mother didn't know what love was. Those around him only cared about their own interests, so he was eager to get Yulia.
He wanted to do so at all costs, but in the end, he made a mistake.
Yulia began to hate him deeply.
Vera had not quite been herself since she woke up. She had been asleep for a long time and during those times, she would call out to Quill to run from danger.
He brought her home for two days, but her situation did not improve. Mabie and David were worried about her, so Quill arranged for them to stay with her. Minerva also came to see her twice. Every time she wanted to talk to her, Vera was either muttering meaninglessly or asleep.
It was as though her mind was traumatized, causing her to have nightmares frequently.
Vera's emotions did not seem to have changed much, and as time passed, it would take a toll on her mental state.
He knew and he was afraid, more afraid than anyone else. He didn't protect her well at the wedding. Although he saved her after the wedding, Vera's current condition worried him so much that he suffered from insomnia. He had been guarding by her side day and night tirelessly.
Minerva was also upset to see him like this. She thought for a moment and said, "Quill, if you're trying to convince her all the time and yet, it still does not work, you should try an alternate way."
"Alternate way?"
"Yes," she nodded. "You have never been a mother, so you won't know how it feels to be one. Vera is pregnant now, so for her, the most important thing apart from you is her child. If she keeps acting like this, it is not safe for the child. Quill, you can try telling Vera these to calm her down."
Upon hearing this, he frowned slightly. Obviously, he was worried about the consequences of this proposal.
