In the Hanover Villa.
"Cough, cough..." "Mr. Hanover, are you alright? Do you need to go to the hospital?" Worried, Nash suggested to Quill.
"Cough, cough..." What only replied to him were his coughs, and it was hard to hear.
Nash's heart ached to see Quill like this.
When he cback the night before, he was soaking wet, and it was cold, so Nash advised him to take a hot shower. However, he sat on the sofa for a long tinstead, depressed and unapproachable. He fell sick immediately the next morning.
Distressed, Nash suggested, "Mr. Hanover, I'll get the car and take you to the hospital." "It's fine," Quill replied with a hoarse voice after he finished his coughing fit. "It's nothing to worry about. I don't need to go to the hospital." "Why won't you see a doctor even when you're coughing like this? You take your health too lightly! Even if you're young, you need to get treated before it gets worse." Nash said seriously.
However, Quill didn't pay any attention to his nagging but stood up and walked outside. Nash's expression shifted slightly. "Where are you going, Mr. Hanover?" "I have something I need to deal with." Nash wanted to go with Quill, but he refused, so Nash was forced to stay hin the end.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtMeanwhile, Quill kept trying to call Vera on his way to see her.
Alas, her phone was still off. It seemed that she was still angry, and she would continue to ignore him.
He stayed wide awake until this moment after he cback that night.
He realized he had made a huge mistake the day before.
Even though the birthday celebration triggered the traumatic memory, she didn't do it on purpose. He'd never mentioned it to her before, so she had no idea it would end up that way. It was his fault. He shouldn't have kept it from her.
Since he'd chosen to be with her, he should have been truthful with her without any reservations.
Alas, he selfishly hid his trauma.
Quill's heart broke as he thought of how he left her in the restaurant after she had put so much effort into celebrating his birthday.
In comparison, that traumatic experience suddenly meant nothing.
It was all in the past. What was most important now was for her to be by his side.
However, Vera was unwilling to listen. She was obviously livid, and her anger only showed how hurt she was.
On the other hand, Quill didn't plan on forcing things either. He wanted to wait until Vera had calmed down before explaining things to her.
Quill still failed to reach Vera even as his car pulled up to her house.
Just as Mabie was about to leave the house, she spotted a familiar car parked downstairs and she paused for a moment.
Wasn't that Quill's car? Was he here for Vera again? As the thought crossed her mind, the car window rolled down, revealing Quill's face.
"Mrs. Zais." He nodded politely to her before he got out of the car.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmMabie simply stood where she was, waiting for him to cover.
"Morning, Mrs. Zais." Quill glanced behind Mabie, but Vera was nowhere to be found.
"Are you looking for Vera?" Mabie sighed, "Although I don't know what happened between you two, I think it's best if you don't see her for a few days." Hearing that, Quill frowned. "What do you mean?" "She's livid, and she refuses to forgive you. Although she looked fine this morning, it's actually quite unnerving to see her acting like everything's okay. You two had a huge fight yesterday, but she woke up and had breakfast as usual. She could even joke with us." After listening to Mabie's description, Quill realized things were much more serious than he had imagined. "Cough, cough..." Quill wanted to say something, but his throat began to itch again, and he failed to refrain from coughing for a moment.
Only then did Mabie notice how pale he was, and she recalled Quill was drenched when she saw him the night before. "You've caught a cold, haven't you? You look so pale. You'd better go see the doctor. Don't wait for Vivy." Quill didn't speak, but he didn't move either. It was obvious he was unwilling to leave.
Mabie sighed heavily when she saw his refusal to leave. "You know how Vera is. She seems amiable and meek most of the time, but no one can convince her of anything else when she makes up her mind. Her father was furious when she wanted to leave Yardley Corporation, and he threatened to disown her if she did. Yet, Vera left anyway, and she never cback for five years. Do you get what I'm saying? She doesn't want to see you or forgive you. She'll still ignore you even if you wait here forever."
Hearing Mabie's words, Quill grew even grimmer, but he quickly Qm replaced it with a smile Mrs. Zais, you tha thank you for tellingall this, but there are sthings I must explain to Vera. I'll wait until she's cooled off." "You... Why are you torturing yourself? You need to go to the hospital." "It's fine, Mrs. Zais." Seeing how resolute Quill was, Mabie figured he was also a stubborn one. Thus she decided to let him be. Before she left, Mabie wanted to tell Quill Vera was already at the restaurant and he should go there. However, seeing how merciless her daughter was earlier, she decided to respect her decision. Vera had every right to be angry for however long she wanted.
Furthermore, Mabie shouldn't cause any trouble for Vera.
Quill had no idea how long he'd waited downstairs for Vera, but then Juliette called him.
"President Hanover, the meeting is about to begin. Why didn't you cto the office this morning?" "Postpone everything." Juliette was rather surprised to hear him sounding so hoarse. "Are you okay, President?"
However, Quill avoided her question and replied, "Postpone all of my work for the next few days. If it's within your abilities, then handle them for me. If not, just postpone it." Doubtful, Juliette asked, "Then the important projects..." "Everything."
Shocked, Quill rarely ever made decisions so recklessly, so she figured something must have m happened. Recalling how Vera looked when she cback to look for Quill, she just replied, "Understood, President Hanover." X RULE #1 choose married women They have reason to keep things secret, as do you.
