Perfect Mysterious Husband (Maddox and Kimberly)
Chapter 1249

"A loser like you actually dares to show off in front of me and drive a wedge between us? Madam Lowell, I have to say, you are really thick-skinned." After that, Vera laughed at her without any courtesy at all.

Lauren was livid, listening to her words. She gnashed her teeth and said, "Don't be so complacent. Even if I am a loser, you're also just flattering yourself. He wouldn't even give you a second glance; he's obviously not interested in you. What would a young girl like you know? So what if I failed? I'm just a stranger you met on your trip, but you're his girlfriend. I'm sure I don't need to tell you what it means when a man is not interested in his girlfriend, don't I?"

Vera finally understood her intentions.

The woman in front of her...

"Lauren Lowell." This time, Vera didn't bother being the least bit polite anymore. She then smiled brightly and said, "Your jealousy sure is strong; you're even a typical schadenfreude. You failed to seduce him, and you're also afraid that our relationship will get better, so you came all the way to tell me that he's not interested in me and things like that. You want me to feel that he's really not interested in me, so I'd feel upset and not go back to him, don't you?"

"What a pity..." Vera gave her a sweet smile again. She was completely different from Lauren's furious look. Their difference in age and beauty were now embodied to the fullest.

"I was a little bit unconfident before I came on this trip, but I have to thank you now. Judging from your reaction, I can tell you were rejected harshly. Quill probably didn't even take a second glance at you, didn't he? That's why you're furious.

"You!"

Vera took two steps back and said casually, "By the way, thank you for telling me that he doesn't have a fever. I don't have to take another trip. You can have this kettle. You should drink some water to cool down your fury."

After that, she threw the kettle toward Lauren, showing no mercy at all.

"Ah!" Lauren screamed and stepped back, but the kettle still hit her toe. It was so painful that her expression changed dramatically. "You're crazy!"

"How can I be? It's for your own good. I'll go back first. Remember to drink more water. Bye."

After that, Vera went back to her room.

Vera was in high spirits after fighting Lauren. She didn't have to worry since Quill wasn't feverish.

However... When she got to the door of their room, her hand, which wanted to press the doorbell, froze mid-air. She didn't dare to press it for a long time.

She didn't know what to do.

It was no big deal when she didn't know Quill was drugged earlier, but now that she knew, how was she going to face him... if she went in?

And she had clearly said that she was going to replace the kettle. Even the kettle was gone now; how was she going to lie? At the thought of this, Vera was a little flustered. She shouldn't have thrown the kettle at that woman.

Vera was in a dilemma; she raised her hand but then put it down again. She was really a coward. Wouldn't it be fine if she just went in? Quill was definitely suffering at the moment. Maybe she could...

She dared not think further. The more she thought about it, the more she felt that she was totally out of place. Quill, who was drugged, didn't even say anything, so why did she have to overthink it? Vera covered her cheeks with her hands, feeling too ashamed to face anyone.

Creek...

Just then, the door suddenly opened, and a deep

voice sounded.

"What are you doing standing at the door? Don't you want to come in?"

Huh?

Vera suddenly came to her senses and saw Quil when she raised her head. The way she covered her face as she blushed had been exposed, hadn't it? She quickly put down her hand, stood straight, and looked at him seriously.

Quill glanced at her with a faint smile. He said upsettingly, "Come in."

He moved aside to let Vera walk in. Then she heard him close the door.

Initially, she did not think much of it. But after knowing what happened to him, she felt her heart skip a beat after he closed the door. Even the surrounding air began to feel stuffy.

Vera bit her lip nervously and heard Quill's voice behind her.

"Didn't you ask someone to change the kettle? Where is it?"

Quill stared at her empty hands.

His question made Vera so nervous that she curled up her toes. She turned her head around to look at Quill and said awkwardly, "Well... the hotel staff said there are no more kettles, so..." "So? Why is the old one gone as well?"

Looking at Quill's eyes, Vera was silent for a long time before she said, "Because it's broken, so I didn't bring it back."

Quill smiled faintly and said, "Is that so?"

He looked calm and relaxed; he didn't look like he was drugged at all. If it wasn't for the thin layer of sweat on his forehead, Vera really couldn't tell.

Thinking of this, Vera took two steps forward. After feeling the coldness on his body, she suddenly asked.

"You took a cold shower?"

Quill was not in a hurry to answer her. His lips slowly lifted into a beautiful arc. His inky eyes seemed to be burning with sparks, staring at her with blazing eyes. Vera was speechless.

Under such gaze, Vera's lips opened

silently, but she could not say a

word. She thought that she was such an diot. She was going to pretend that she didn't know anything, but who would've

thought... she was exposed as soon as she spoke.

Thinking of this, Vera was annoyed with her stupidity. She originally wanted to hide it, but they still had to spend the night together in the next few days. It would be hokey if she continued to pretend. So Vera could only reorganize her words and then said, "Umm... Do you need to go to the hospital?"

After asking, Vera felt that she was smart. She only asked if he needed to go to the hospital and did not expose any other information. Quill wouldn't know what she really meant this time.

Just when Vera was immersed in her self-righteousness, Quill took a few steps toward her, and their distance was shortened instantly. She could feel his cold breath. "What do you think?"

Quill leaned over slightly and spoke into Vera's ear.

Vera was taken aback.

Vera swallowed a mouthful of saliva subconsciously; she dared not look at him at all. She said foolishly, "Why don't... you go to the hospital. It might be better if you let the doctor treat you."

As soon as she finished her words, Quill lifted her chin and forced her to look up. She had no choice but to look at him now.

Because he was bending over, they were only inches apart.

"What if I don't want to go to the hospital?"
