When Baldrick finally picked up Beanie and left, he still sighed. Master Collins wanted to see him. That day, when he knew that he had a great-grandson, he was very excited.
Who would have thought that he would be so excited that he fainted.
Therefore, while waiting for them to come, Jarold had already ordered the family's chef to prepare a table of food. Who knew that only Beanie came.
However, this little guy might be the antidote to the knots in everyone's hearts.
After all, Abigail agreed when she heard that Beanie also wanted to go.
After Maddox knew that Vera had fallen ill and Minerva was taking care of her, he immediately frowned. He disagreed with her way of doing things.
She kept saying that she was fine. As a result, he rushed in and carried her back to her room.
"Put me down. If I don't take care of her at this time, who will? She is having a fever!" She exclaimed.
He placed her in the bathroom and said in a muffled voice, "You're pregnant now. She has caught a cold and has a fever. What if you're infected? Can you take medicine in your current state?"
She hesitated and replied, "I'm not that easily infected."
He said, "Don't you think that I don't know how poor your physical condition is?" He narrowed his eyes and pushed her into the bathroom. "Take a shower first and wash your body clean. As for your friend, I'll call the family doctor to take care of her."
At first, she wanted to stop him, but when she heard the word "doctor," she instantly quietened down.
The doctors were much more professional than her, who knew nothing. If they had a doctor to take care of Vera, what else could she do? Minerva did not argue with Maddox anymore. She could not help but say, "Well... Then I'll take a bath first. Remember to bring Beanie home later."
He nodded. "Yes."
After that, he turned around to help her get her clothes and then left.
After closing the door, he called the family doctor of the Collins family. This family doctor was very close to him. The reason was that when he woke up, his injuries were severe. Everyday, this doctor would take care of his injuries.
Over time, he had become more familiar with him.
After the phone call, the doctor quickly came over. Sam took him to Vera's room and then wanted to leave with Maddox.
Quill, who was sitting on the sofa reading the newspaper, could not help but ask when he noticed Maddox's behavior.
"What are you going to do?"
Maddox paused when he heard that. He turned around to look at Quill, and his eyes grew unnatural.
"I will book a hotel first."
Quill looked up slightly. "The hotel can be booked online."
The implication was that he didn't have to be in such a hurry.
A smart person might not speak explicitly, but Maddox squinted his eyes after hearing Quill's words. He looked at him. Even Sam by the side also glanced at him.
Had he already seen through it?
When Maddox was thinking of this, he smiled faintly and directly stated his thoughts.
"I have to go out for something. Quill... Please
take care of Minerva."
Quill was speechless.
He lips twitched. After a moment, he returned to normal. He turned over the newspaper in his hand and didn't say anything more. He looked down at the newspaper seriously.
Maddox knew that he had admitted it, so he did not say anything more to him and left with Sam.
After Minerva came out of the shower, she found that Quill was the only one left in the living room. She called him and went straight to Vera's room.
The doctor was already taking care of her. When he saw Minerva, he greeted her.
He did not answer.
"She was drunk when she came back. Now, she has a fever. You took her out, but did not bring her back safely. Now, you are sitting here reading the newspaper, and you don't feel any guilt or selfblame at all? Quill, I know that you don't like her, but no matter how emotionless people are, they are not so cold-blooded," she scolded him.
He was speechless.
He probably didn't expect Minerva to get mad at him. He stood rooted to the spot and couldn't find any words to respond to her.
"Quill, I'm really disappointed in you this time."
He finally opened his mouth and said in a cold voice, "So, what do you think I should do? Knowing that the end is impossible, you still want to give her hope? Let her sink deeper and deeper?"
At this point, he paused and looked in the direction of Vera, with coldness and ruthlessness in his eyes.
"In my opinion, a short anguish is better than long term pain. Only when she is completely awake can she know that I am not the person who is suitable for her."
Minerva said, "It's up to you."
After that, she went straight back to her room and closed the door.
He was the only person left in the living room. Everything was quiet around him. His eyes gradually darkened and then quickly became normal. After that, he sat on the sofa and read the newspaper as if nothing had happened.
Apart from kinship, people like him... shouldn't expect anything else.
Minerva only remembered one thing after she returned to her room. She had forgotten to ask where Maddox was. Even if he was going to stay outside, he didn't have to leave in such a hurry, did he?
It seemed that he was going to do something.
She complained about Maddox in her heart. She seemed to be a little hungry.
However, now there was only her and Quill in the house.
He certainly hadn't eaten yet. She was full of anger, so she didn't want to go out at all.
