Perfect Mysterious Husband (Maddox and Kimberly)
Chapter 1070

Just thinking about it was enough to make one's heart ache.

Vera remained where she stood, hesitating. After a long while, just as she decided to give up and leave.

Quill moved.

Then, he just happened to look in Vera's direction.

At first, he only glanced at this side unintentionally. After taking a glance, he withdrew his gaze.

As he looked away, this handsome man paused and looked back again, as if he wanted to confirm something.

Although they were a little far away from each other, Vera's vision was good, so she saw Quill's movements clearly. Of course, she knew that he had seen her now, and she had no chance to leave at all. Sigh, if she had known this would happen, she wouldn't have hesitated for so long; she should've just left as soon as she could.

Now...

Vera braced herself and walked over. She raised her hand to Quill with no expression on her face, and the corners of her mouth lifted casually.

"Good morning, President Hanover. Where is Sam?"

Quill was still a little surprised when he saw the young lady walking towards him. Because according to the previous two situations, he thought that she would definitely turn around and walk away when she met him.

He hadn't expected she would walk toward him.

Inexplicably, the color in Quill's eyes darkened.

But very quickly, he felt as if a wet blanket had been thrown at him.

The young lady had indeed walked over to him, but she spoke extremely politely to him.

"Good morning, President Hanover. Where is Sam?"

Not only had she addressed him as President Hanover, but she also came to ask about Sam?

He felt as if something had entered his chest and then ran from his heart to all four of his limbs.

He couldn't stop himself from asking.

"Are you two seeing each other?"

Huh?

Initially, Vera forced herself to walk over and mustered all her courage to talk to him. In fact, she also thought about how to address him countless times. Mr. Hanover was less appropriate, so she called him President Hanover like others did.

Then, she thought that he might not be in the mood to answer her.

According to his usual temper, he would only reply with a hum and nod as a response.

She hadn't expected he would ask such a question.

"Are you two seeing each other?"

Vera was confused.

What did he mean?

At first, Vera was baffled, then confused, and finally, she understood what he was talking about.

Quill was asking if she and Sam were together. Why? Was it because she had asked where Sam was the moment she arrived?

Just when Vera wanted to answer no, Quill stood up and handed the blanket in his hand to her. His voice and tone were very cold.

"Just asking, you don't have to answer. By the way, thank you for the blanket last night."

Vera subconsciously reached out her hand to take "He is in the bathroom and should come out soon. I have a meeting in the morning. I have to go first. Please tell Minerva for me." After that, Quill turned around and left as if nothing had happened.

Looking at his tall figure, Vera subconsciously opened her mouth to explain that there was nothing between Sam and her.

However, even though she had opened her mouth, her throat was so dry that she couldn't even utter a single word.

She held the blanket in her hand, and it was burning hot. Finally, Vera looked at his back as he walked further and further away, and her hand hung down powerlessly.

Her heart ached.

Forget it, what was there to explain?

Whether she was with Sam or not, he wouldn't care at all.

If he cared, then the reason could only be that he hoped that she could replace someone else as soon as possible and not disturb him.

This was definitely what he cared about.

She had even overthought. When she thought about it now, she was scared by the ridiculous thought in her mind.

She was really stupid.

That man had refused her so many times. She should have figured it out long ago.

When Sam came out of the bathroom, he saw the young lady standing in front of the bench in a daze. He smiled unconsciously and wanted to go over to greet her.

In the end, he saw the red rims in her eyes.

Sam stopped in his tracks, and then he stood still.

After that, he saw Vera holding a blanket in her hand. It looked a little familiar, but it was not the one he had used last night.

Soon, Sam figured out who the blanket belonged to. The corridor was empty and Vera was the only one left. The figure of that person had long disappeared. Seeing this, Sam clenched his hands into fists.

Not knowing how long had passed, Vera heard the sound of footsteps coming from behind.

She came back to her senses and blinked her eyes hard to restore her emotions.

"You're awake?"

A hoarse male voice came from behind. Vera turned around and looked into Sam's eyes.

He had a warm smile, and his eyes looked gentle, "Did you sleep well last night?"

The warmth in his eyes was the exact opposite of Quill's coldness. Vera didn't feel so uncomfortable and just nodded her head.

"Not bad. What about you? The corridor must be very cold. You must be tired after a night's watch. Go and have a rest. I'll keep vigil."

However, Sam smiled faintly and

said, "No need, it's my duty to guard Young Master Yardley. There is no such thing as being tired. There is breakfast downstairs. What do you want to eat?"

"You..." Vera frowned. "You really don't want to rest, do you?"

"How do buns and milk sound?"

Vera said, "It's really not necessary. You stayed here all night. You'd better go and rest."

"It's settled then."

After saying that, Sam went to buy breakfast directly. Vera's expression changed, and hurriedly caught up with him. "You really don't have to worry about us. Even if it's to buy breakfast, I'm the one who should go. Go take a rest."

Vera was afraid that he would continue to walk, so she even grabbed his clothes while she spoke.

This action was nothing to Vera. After all, it was only his clothes; they didn't have skin-to-skin contact.

However, to Sam, it was a great signal.

He stopped and turned his head, staring at the pair of hands that were holding the corner of his clothes. He didn't say anything.

Aware of what he was looking at, Vera came to her senses. She withdrew her hands and said, "I, I'm sorry. I got impatient. After all, you two stayed up the whole night.... I slept inside for such a long time. I can't not do anything."

"It's just buying breakfast. It's alright. Just wait here."

This time, Sam left, and Vera did not chase after him.

She stood there for a while, then went back to the chair and sat down. Only then did she realize that she had been holding on to the blanket Quill had handed her.

At the sight of the blanket, Vera's eyes darkened even more.

"Where are my brother and Sam?"

When Vera was in a daze, a voice suddenly came from the top of her head.

She came back to her senses and saw Minerva had come out.

"Sam went to buy breakfast. Your brother... has returned to the company."

Noticing that she was acting strangely when she mentioned Quill, Minerva did not pursue the matter further. Instead, she looked in the direction of the ward.

"What about Maddox? He hasn't woken up yet, has he?"
