Yulia's heart was already overflowing with bitterness. After hearing this, she felt even more aggrieved as Quill kept mentioning the friendship between the two families, but not them.

She even guessed the reason why Quill stayed here was that she was the daughter of the Maxwell family.

Thinking of this, Yulia revealed a wry smile.

"If I'm not the daughter of the Maxwell family, you won't even come to see me, would you?"

Quill did not answer.

"That's why I'm not willing to accept your help. The Maxwell family doesn't fully represent me. Even if the Maxwell family and the Hanover family were close, all of that had to do with my father and your parents and not me. Does this make you feel better? That you can ignore me without guilt?"

Quill gazed at her helplessly, probably not expecting Yulia to have said so.

That was right. She was the young lady of the Maxwell family, after all. She was well-mannered and knew what to say and not. However, she actually made the relationship between the two families clear in front of Quill.

After a long while, Quill finally spoke, "If you have to put it that way, do you want me to remind you we grew up together?"

Hearing this, Yulia's eyes became redder, and she mumbled in her heart, "You still remember we grew up together?"

"Our families have always been close. You and I grew up together, and you're younger than me. Now that the Maxwell family is gone, then I can be considered as your older brother," Quill said earnestly.

Older brother!

Yulia felt miserable when she heard this. She had loved him for so many years, but he only thought of himself as her older brother? She did not want to be his sister!

Yulia felt he should have just kept that to himself.

Thinking of this, Yulia closed her eyes. "Stop, say no more. I'm not willing to accept your help. The person who sent me to the hospital today is your girlfriend, isn't it? Please thank her for me. I'm in her debt. If there is a chance, I will return it."

She didn't want to owe any favors, not to mention that woman was Quill's girlfriend.

Speaking of Vera, Quill's expression became more tender. He replied gently, "You need to rest for now. Don't go to the company for the time being.

I'll inform the department to arrange paid leave for you."

Yulia raised her head in an instant and refused, "No, I don't need that. I can still work!"

Paid leave? She didn't need it!

"Quill, I don't need pity, do you understand?"

"This is not pity."

Quill stood up and straightened his back. His voice was cold and calm. "You're an employee of the Hanover Corporation now. You fainted because of overworking, so the company has the obligation to take responsibility for you. Hanover Corporation is responsible."

Yulia lost her tongue for a moment.

Knock, knock...

Someone just happened to knock on the door.

"President Hanover."

It was Juliette. She rushed over after receiving Quill's call.

"Your job for the next few days is to keep an eye on her, take care of her, and don't let her run around," Quill ordered indifferently.

After receiving the task, Juliette raised her eyebrows and answered, "Understood, President Hanover, I will take good care of Miss Maxwell."

After that, Juliette looked at Yulia and smiled.

"Hello, Miss Maxwell. I am Juliette, President Hanover's secretary."

Yulia did not respond.

Did Quill simply send someone to keep her company?

What about him then?

Quill left right after he gave the order. Juliette closed the door. When she saw Yulia's expression, she glanced around and asked, "Would you like some water, Miss Maxwell?" "No," Yulia refused and questioned, "Where is Mr. Hanover?"

Juliette had expected her to ask this question. Then she smiled and replied, "President Hanover's girlfriend is waiting for him outside. He is probably sending her home." Sent his girlfriend home?

Stunned, Yulia lowered her eyelids.

It turned out Quill asked Vera to wait for him outside instead of sending her away earlier. Now... he was going to send Vera home and leave his secretary to keep an eye on her.

The difference between the two of them was obvious.

Yet, she still had those unrealistic fantasies.

Yulia shut her eyes and her heart welled up with bitterness.

"Idiot... You're so stupid. He already has a girlfriend, yet you're still thinking about this rubbish," Yulia scolded in her heart.

The ward fell quiet; no one spoke.

Vera had only waited for a while before Quill came out.

Seeing his long face, Vera asked curiously, "How is your friend?"

Seeing Vera only had one layer on, he took off his suit coat and draped it over her shoulders.

"Why are you wearing so little? Are you not cold?" Quill spoke softly.

As soon as the coat was on her, Vera felt the warmth. Stunned, she said, "Not really. I rushed here and there, so I'm quite warm!"

She actually hadn't meant to take any credit but just wanted to prove she wasn't cold, so she blurted It wasn't until Vera finished her. words that she realized what she said, so she quickly explained, "I didn't mean to take credit, just..."

"Silly girl, there's no need to explain." Quill tapped her nose. "You can say whatever to me."

Vera felt delighted. She leaned on Quill's shoulder gently, held his hand and followed him.

"That girl... how did you meet her?" Vera still asked the burning question in the end.

Despite her endurance, she couldn't hold back her curiosity. After all, the person inside was a woman, and Quill seemed very anxious when he learned something happened to her. This was the first time Vera had seen Quill like this.

She had always thought he was indifferent. Little had she expected for him to behave like that. Quill was the one who sent them to the hospital and did the paperwork.

It was also then Vera learned of Yulia's name.

However, she did not know her, nor

did she know of her relationship with Quill. However, she had a hunch that there was more than an employer and employee relationship between them.

That was why she asked the question.

Quill also had a vague idea as to what she was thinking. He smiled faintly and asked, "Why? Are you jealous?"

Hearing this, Vera blushed. "I'm not jealous. I'm just curious..."

"Are you really not jealous?"

è

"I'm really not.." "My family used to be very close to the Maxwell family. It wasn't until she had returned recently that I found out her family was down and out, and her parents had passed away, but she was not willing to accept help."

Hearing that, Vera was shocked. "No way..."

How could that be? Yulia's life was full of twists and turns.
