Actually, this was not bad either.

They should stay this way in the future. She would hide all her feelings for him in the deepest part of her heart and suppress it so that it would not see the light of day.

Vera's phone rang again; it was a message from Sam.

"I'm already out of the hospital. Where are you?"

Vera's expression changed slightly. Because she was too nervous earlier, she had forgotten about his request.

Vera quickly replied to his message.

"I'm already on my way to the hospital. You don't have to pick me up. Thank you."

When Sam received this message, he felt bitter on the tip of his tongue.

Did she not even want to give him a chance to prove himself?

Even so, Sam was still a little worried about her safety, so he replied.

"Tell me the plate number. Be careful."

"The plate number?"

Vera frowned. Sam had probably thought that she was in a private car or a cab, so he asked for the plate number. Vera simply replied, "It's fine. I'm with President Hanover. He's heading back to the hospital to look for Minerva."

Sam read her last message several times in surprise and bewilderment as if he was confirming something.

After a moment, he burst out laughing as he looked at his phone.

So that's how it was.

When they arrived at the hospital, Vera saw a familiar figure standing not far away as soon as she got out of the car. At first, she thought that she had seen it wrongly. But after taking a closer look, she found that it was Sam.

It was actually him?

Vera remembered that when he messaged her, he said that he was already out of the hospital. She thought that he would have gone upstairs by now; who would've thought he was still downstairs. Seeing Vera, Sam gave her a gentle smile. Under the soft light, the horrible scar on his face softened a little. "You're here."

Vera didn't know how she felt about Sam. She had mixed feelings.

She nodded. "Why didn't you go up?"

"What for? Weren't you coming? I might as well wait for you here."

If someone was convenient enough to send her here, why couldn't he conveniently wait for her here?

Vera was speechless

Vera blushed after hearing Sam's blunt words, and she felt her ears getting red. If her memories served her correctly, she remembered telling Sam that she still hadn't sorted out her emotions and that he shouldn't disturb her.

But now he...

Did he think that she had already figured out her feelings?

In reality, Vera had been calm previously.

But after seeing Quill, her mind was in a mess again.

"President Hanover."

While thinking, Sam called behind her with a smile on his face. "Young Madam is waiting for you upstairs."

Quill glanced at Sam as he hummed a reply lightly and went straight upstairs.

As he walked, Vera's gaze subconsciously followed his figure. Sam suddenly appeared in front of her and blocked her gaze.

"Are you cold? Are you hungry? Since they have something to discuss, shall I take you to eat?" Although he was asking, Vera felt more like he was making a decision.

Of course, if Vera wanted to refuse, he couldn't force her to go with him.

However, Vera was not someone who could not read a room. As an outsider, she shouldn't join in the conversation between the pair of siblings.

So she nodded.

"Sure, I also happen to be a little hungry."

Near the hospital, apart from private

residences, large pharmacies occupied most of the shops. There were a few clothing shops, and because there were a lot of people who would look after a hospitalized loved one, there were quite a few restaurants as well.

The two of them found a shop nearby and went in.

Actually, Vera had no appetite at all. She just didn't want to go upstairs to visit Minerva for the time being.

They ordered a bowl of noodles each and sat down face to face.

Sam was probably really hungry. After sitting down, he first drank a mouthful of soup, and then concentrated on eating the noodles.

His seriousness made Vera embarrassed for not eating. So, she grabbed a spoon and drank some soup, then ate some noodles. The owner of the restaurant was probably an honest person.

Probably because it was late at night now, and there were not many people eating. So he added a lot of meat into their bowls.

If she finished her portion, would she still be able to sleep tonight?

Vera drank the soup silently.

"You don't like it?" Sam looked at her bowl, which was still full of food, and asked.

Hearing this, Vera came to her senses and shook her head. "No, it's not that. I just suddenly remembered that if I eat too much now, I won't be able to sleep later. I'll just drink some soup." After listening to her words, Sam didn't know what else to say, so he just smiled at her and then stopped talking.

In fact, he wanted to continue the conversation, but he really didn't know what to say. He was afraid that if he dragged on the conversation, Vera would begin to dislike him.

After eating, Vera put down the spoon, and Sam went to the counter to pay the bill.

Vera caught up.

"Let me treat you."

Unexpectedly, Sam had already paid the bill in a blink of an eye and then asked her to come out of the restaurant. Vera was stunned for a moment, then caught up with him and said, "Let's split the bill. W pay you back."

Hearing this, Sam stopped in his tracks and helplessly turned his head to look at her.

"It's just a bowl of noodles. You don't have to worry about it."

Sam knew what she was thinking; she was speechless.

"Although I like you, you didn't think I treated you to noodles on purpose, did you? I'm just hungry and don't want to eat it alone, so I ask you to come with me."

"Is that so?" Vera thought and blinked her eyes lightly.

"So you don't need to feel pressured. I'll remember what you said. Don't worry."

Hearing this, Vera did not know what was going on with herself and only felt relieved in her heart.

She obviously knew that Sam liked her, for a long time, as a matter of fact.

Because she had liked someone before, she understood the bitterness. She couldn't bear to hurt him, but she couldn't do anything in return, so she was very perturbed.

The two of them returned to the hospital and entered the elevator together. The space was so quiet that there was only the sound of their breath.

"Sam."

Vera suddenly called him.

Sam turned his head and said, "Yes?"

"You... shouldn't waste your time on me. It's not worth it." Vera raised her head, and their eyes met. She chose a more euphemistic way to refuse him. "You know that I like someone else. You will only waste your on me. I have known you for so many years; I know what kind of

ur time

person you are. You are really outstanding. You will replace..."

Before she could finish her words, Sam interrupted her.

"Vera, you think... I'm outstanding? Since you think so, why don't you give me a chance?"

Vera held her breath.

She just wanted to turn him down politely; who would've thought that he would say something like this?

Sam took a few steps toward Vera, and his aura became stronger. He said, "Perhaps, we can really have a try. Maybe we are made for each other."
