Hearing Vera's words, the woman was silent for a while before she spoke.
"No matter what, thank you for helping me. I'm Lauren Lowell. What is your name? Vera smiled innocently. "My nis Vera Zais!" "Vera..." Lauren repeated her nthoughtfully. "Is the person with you your husband?" The word husband made Vera blush. She embarrassedly scratched her head and shook her head.
"He's not?" Lauren looked at her quizzically and asked, "Didn't you two travel together?" "Yeah." Vera nodded and explained softly, "We cto this trip together, but we're not husband and wife. We're just boyfriend and girlfriend." Hearing Vera's explanation, Lauren smiled and said, "I see. I think he treats you well." Really? Vera blinked. She was happy.
Even strangers could see that Quill was very good to her. Wasn't it a good thing? Just when she was still deep in thought, Lauren spoke again, "But I feel that he's a little cold. Has he always been like this?" Vera didn't think much about it and nodded.
"Yeah, he is a little cold. He has always been like this." However, in Vera's opinion, it was better to say that he was steady. He was completely different from Maddox. Maddox was truly cold and insufferably arrogant; he wouldn't talk to people he was not familiar with.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtBut Quill was different. He would talk to people and be gentlemanly at the very least, even though he gave people an unapproachable feeling.
Vera liked this kind of Quill very much.
A strange look flashed in Lauren's eyes when she saw the look of a maiden in love on Vera's face. She began to chat with Vera.
At first, Vera didn't react. Later on, she suddenly realized Lauren kept asking questions about Quill. She wondered why Lauren wanted to know so much about him.
Vera was a straightforward person, so she didn't beat around the bush.
"Why are you asking so much about him?" Being questioned, Lauren grew awkward, "I'm sorry. You must like him a lot because you look so happy when you talk about him. You helped me, but I can't do anything. So... I can only talk to you about the person you like." Her explanation made sense. Because of her words, Vera's face turned red again. She pouted and denied in a low voice, "I don't look happy when I talk about him..." Although she denied it, she wondered if it was really that obvious. It seemed that... perhaps she liked him more than she imagined.
After that, when Lauren brought up Quill, apart from being shy, Vera had no other emotions. She even thought that Lauren mentioned him on purpose because she wanted to see her shyness. Until... someone knocked on the door.
Vera cto her senses and quickly got upto open the door. It was Quill. Her face was still red from chatting with Lauren.
Vera said, "You're back?" Quill paused slightly. He looked at the young girl in front of him. Her face was red, and her eyes were bright as she looked at him. Although they were in a hospital, her actions made Quill feel like he was at home.
It was like... they were a married couple, and she was a young wife waiting at hfor him to return. Quill's heart warmed. He gently stroked her head. "Mm." His voice was soft and gentle.
Lauren thought of her husband as she watched them. He never looked at her gently, let alone behaving like that. "By the way, what happened after you went to the police station? That man..." Vera asked hurriedly. Quill's eyes darkened. "Well, he is temporarily locked up." Temporarily? Vera guessed that it would be for a very short time. After all, this was just a fight between husband and wife, not sheinous crime. The police could only give him a warning.
"What about her? Her whole body is covered in wounds..." Vera lowered her voice deliberately and said to Quill, "Should we take her with us for the next couple of days?" As soon as Vera finished talking, Lauren lifted the quilt and got out of bed. She cried as she said, "Mr. Hanover, thank you for saving me. But... he will definitely killwhen he comes out... He definitely will." Listening to her words, Vera frowned. She couldn't just sit back and watch after knowing her situation. "Don't worry; we will help you." Vera ran over and helped her up. Lauren leaned on her shoulder and shed tears as she faced Quill's direction, looking very pitiful.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmCommonly, men liked weak women.
The stronger the man, the more he liked to protect the delicate beauty Lauren was very confident in her appearance, so although her face was injured, she deliberately leaned on Vera and showed her weak side to Quill.
However, Quill didn't notice her actions as all he saw was Vera. Even if Vera had her back to him, his gaze was glued to the back of her head.
Lauren cried for a long time, only to realize that Quill did not even look at her. She was so angry that her whole body shook.
Vera, who was supporting her, noticed it and thought that she was
afraid. She gently patted her back and said Alright, don't worry. Since we are already involved we will help you to the end. You should recuperate in the hospital first, and we will help you contact your family, okay?"
To her surprise, Lauren said pathetically, "I... I don't have a family anymore. My parents died when I was a child. My relatives.....
ve They were afraid of revenge, so they wouldn't helpat all." Hearing that, Vera felt that it was really troublesome. She had wanted to send Lauren safely to her parents. Who would've thought... there would be no one in her family to take care of her.
Then... What should she do? Only then did Vera realize that she had gotten herself in a tricky situation. But couldn't just sit by and watch as E Lauren got beaten if she was given a second chance. So after thinking for a while, Vera could only look at Quill pleadingly. Seeing his girl looking at him pleadingly, his eyes softened as he asked her, "What do you want to do?" Actually, Vera was not sure. Lauren cried and said, "Why don't... you leavebe? I will be beaten up when he's released anyway. Don't get yourself into trouble. I will feel bad if keep dragging you guys into this." SWIPERS X
