The sun had risen, and the sunlight shone through the window. It was so bright that she could barely open her eyes.
However, Vera didn't dare to close her eyes again.
She was afraid.
She was afraid that if she closed her eyes, she would see the scenes in her dream again and hear those mocking words repeatedly.
She had slept for the whole night, but what happened last night had been bothering her. Instead of feeling better, she felt gloomier.
She laid quietly for a while before she lifted the blanket and got up.
When she walked into the bathroom and passed by the mirror, she saw that she was still wearing the white dress sent by Quill. She was stunned and looked at herself in the mirror for a long time. A moment later, she took off the white dress.
Before this, she had thought that the dress was beautiful, but now, when she looked at it again, she only felt ridiculous.
Vera calmly took a shower, put on her clothes, and proceeded to check her bank balance.
She spent a lot of her savings when opening the shop, so she only had a few tens of thousands of dollars left in her current balance.

No big deal. She would pay as much as she could first.
In the worst case scenario, she would work hard the rest of her life to make money and return it to him.
After tidying up, Vera headed out of the room.
"You're awake?" "Vivy, cand have breakfast." As soon as she left the room, David and Mabie asked Vera to cover for breakfast.
She wasn't in a good mood and had no appetite. She didn't feel like eating, but she didn't want them to worry about her, so she went over and sat down. "Good morning, Mom and Dad." "Good morning. Vivy, I bought you the pastries that you like very much. Try them." "Yes, there's also smilk." David and Mabie were especially enthusiastic to Vera. Both of them were all smiles and did not mention what happened the previous night at all.
It was not like Vera had lost her memories. Of course she remembered that she held onto Mabie and cried hysterically. As she thought about it, she felt that she was too impulsive at that time. How could she do such a thing? Wouldn't it worry her mother? However, at that time, she really couldn't control her emotions. She was completely broken.
"Vivy, what are you daydreaming about? Hurry up and eat," Mabie said.
"Alright," Vera replied.
Vera refocused her attention, and took a bite of the pastry. Usually, it was exceptionally crispy and tasty, but that day, it was tasteless as she didn't have any appetite. She put it down after taking a bite and took a sip of milk.
As soon as the milk entered her stomach, she felt her stomach churn.
She put down the glass, ran into the bathroom, and vomited into the sink.
"Vivy!" "What's wrong!" David and Mabie dropped all that they were doing and followed her quickly into the bathroom.
"Ugh..." Vera retched into the sink. Mabie could only step forward and sweep her back for her. "What's the matter? Were you too hungry?" "I'm fine..." Vera said after spitting out sbile. Her face was extremely pale, and cold sweat broke out on her forehead due to the discomfort. She looked extremely weak.
"You're still saying that you're fine? How about I cook soatmeal for you? You can have sthen head to the hospital for a check up." Vera only felt empty in the stomach. because she didn't eat anything the previous day. She only had scake later which was quite greasy. She slept for a long tand Date these first thing in the morning.
Therefore, her stomach couldn't take it and started churning.
"Mom, I'm fine. It's just that I was starving. I just need to eat something." Vera walked out of the bathroom with Mabie's help. Watching from aside, David was both angry and distressed. He knew that Vera had grown up, but he couldn't bear looking at her ending up like this for the sake of love.
"You take a rest, I'll cook soatmeal for you.
Let's not open the shop today." Vera wanted to agree to it, but remembering that she was in huge debt and had to make money everyday; how could she not open the shop? When she thought about this, she immediately shook her head and rejected Mabie's suggestion.
"No, the shop needs to open as usual, but it'll be open a little later today. Anyway, there's less business in the morning." "You stubborn girl, why don't you listen to what I say? Okay, fine, we'll open but you'll rest at hthis morning and later, have your dad take you to the hospital. I'll go open the restaurant." "There's no need, Mom. I'm fine. I'm just hungry... I..." Speaking of this, Vera felt a churn in her stomach and she ran into the bathroom again.
David and Mabie just exchanged a look.
"You'd better take Vera to the hospital later," Mabie said.

"Isn't she unwilling to go? Instead of making her go to the hospital, it's better to cook something for hento eat. Look at her vomiting... Her stomach is completely empty," he said. Mabie cto a realization, and she immediately nodded. "Yes, I'll quickly cook soatmeal."
After being worked up the whole morning, Vera had a bowl of oatmeal. Finally, her stomach felt somewhat soothed. She laid down and touched her stomach, and her face was still a little bit pale. David said, "Your mother went to the restaurant and toldto take you to the hospital if you still feel uncomfortable. Vivy, how are you feeling now? If you don't feel well, make sure to tell me." Upon hearing this, Vera looked at her father and revealed a bitter smile.
"Dad, I'm fine. Maybe I ate something bad yesterday that's why I'm feeling unwell. I've eaten the oatmeal now and I'll be fine after lying for a while," she replied. "Vivy." He did not leave but sat down beside her. "If there is anything wrong with you, you must tell me. It is not a solution for you to hide them in your heart." Her father was worried about her because of what she looked like the previous night. As she thought, she continued to force a smile, "Don't worry, I am fine. Even if there was something before, it'll be alright in the future." There was a hint of determination on her face when she said these words.
At a glance, David knew that Vera was hurt because of love. As a father, he could not offer her a lot of help like his mother, so he could only reach out and stroke his daughter's head and said softly.
"Well, you can sleep for a while. If you don't feel well, remember to tell me. Remember, no matter what happens, your mom and I will always be with you." She closed her eyes and felt tears in her eyes again.
Soon, he went out. When Vera heard the sound of the door closing, she opened her eyes again.
The Hanover Corporation.
In the office.
After Quill dealt with his work in the morning, there was going to be a meeting. However, he asked Juliette to delay the video meeting to the next day due to what happened the night before.
He then waited patiently for Vera to arrive.
However, he did not see her in the company.
He frowned and kept looking at the door. Was she late, or...
