While they were kissing, a warm, clear teardrop fell down from the corner of Vera's eyes and fell on the back of Quill's hand.
He held her and pulled her into his arms, and his voice was deep and husky.
"I promise something like this will never happen again. I will never let anything happen to me." In the world, he had already lost three people that were close to him.
Therefore, Quill knew how painful it was to lose one's loved ones. Those who had died had no idea, but the people who stayed behind had to live with their wounds on their own, through every second of every day. That sort of life was torturing and painful. Before, he wanted to shoulder all the responsibilities, but as he thought about it then, his woman was right.
The reason why the two of them got together was to look after each other and share the burden.
If he simply relied on his own strength, he would be too weak and it would be too easy for him to collapse. The most important thing was that if anything happened to him, no one would be there to fight for the three of them. Therefore, the incident had taught him a great lesson as well.

After Quill woke up, Vera occupied his bed. He sat beside her as she slept.
However, she did not sleep well. In her sleep, she would still occasionally call out his name. She would look anxious and her hands would be waving around like it was grabbing onto something.
In the end, Quill had to stretch out his hand to her. Then, she grabbed his hand with all her strength. Like a fish that was dying of thirst, she held on tightly to him as if he was the source of water. He glanced at her hand. She held on to him so hard that it almost left a mark on his hand.
It hurt a little, but he felt sweet in his heart.
The woman's mind was truly filled with him.
He lowered his head and gently kissed her on her fair forehead. He said softly, "Go to sleep. I'm here." Throughout the three days he remained in the hospital for observations, Vera stayed with him the whole time. During that period, Mabie had cto see them twice.
The last twas when he was about to be discharged. Mabie took the opportunity and lectured Vera incessantly outside the ward.
"You foolish girl, you really only care about your husband. He was injured, and you stayed in the hospital with him everyday. You didn't even go hto take a look at your children." Vera also felt a little embarrassed for her behavior for the past two days. She scratched her head in embarrassment and said apologetically as she stuck her tongue out, "Mom, you're now taking care of the children, aren't you? That's why I am particularly relieved. That day, you were the one who toldthat you had more experience in taking care of children than me. I was brought up by you. I am so strong and healthy now all thanks to you, so I am particularly relieved to let you take care of them." "Hmph." Mabie did not believe her words and mocked her directly.
"Con, you're so obsessed with Quill that you've lost your mind. Now, it's just because I happened to lecture you that you turn around and flatter me. Have you forgotten what happened before?" After that, she shook her head in disappointment.
"Alas, you can only see your love for your husband. Even your parents don't act like this. How did you turn out like this? Fortunately, you met a good man. If you are with a jerk, what would you do?" Mabie was really glad about that. Since her daughter was so stubborn, if she really fell in love with a scumbag, she wouldn't have listened to any family member's advice. Then, her life would have been totally ruined.
"Mom." "Everything is predestined. Besides, I don't only set my eyes on my love for him, but even if that's true, I'm also a person who still have good values. I won't be a home-wrecker or be a mistress. I will not do anything that's immoral. So, how would it be possible for your daughter with such good values to fall in love with a scumbag?" "Haha." Mabie sneered and looked at her daughter. "Look at the smug on your face when the only thing you know about is how much you love your husband!" "No, Mom. I'm just telling you the whole story. Letput it this way. Didn't you stay in the hospital with him when dad was admitted into the hospital after his car accident?" "Really?" Mabie said while looked like she had forgotten it all. "How cI remember that you accompanied him more than I did back then? I still did what I should do at that time." Vera was speechless.
Quill only had a slight concussion. Moreover, he was in good physical condition, so he recovered quickly. The doctor examined him once and discharged him after confirming that he didn't have any problems. Hence, that afternoon, he and Vera returned home.
The first thing she did after she got hwas to take a shower and get rid of the bad luck, and also to wash away any germs from the hospital. After everything was done, only then did Vera dare to hold her two children.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmAlthough they had only not seen each other for a few days, she felt as if she had not seen her children for a century. She talked to Mabie while holding her child.
"Mom, why do I feel like they've gained sweight?" The corners of Mabie's lips twitched when she heard that. "Are you going to say they've grown taller next? It's only been three days. How much weight can they gain?" "I really feel that they've gotten a little heavier." "Con, you should rest since you've just returned from the hospital. I'll make shealthy soup for you two tonight." At dinner time, Mabie and David cover. Mabie was the cook that night, and made the soup herself.
During the meal, she spoke to Quill directly.
"Quill, don't mindfor being so direct. This time, what happened to you could be something serious. ather and I were worried Both your father and sick of course, Vera was the most frightened. I didn't care much about the fact that you two young people were wilful before this and didn't take good care of your body, but after this incident, I feel that I have to say something." Quill sat up straight and gave his full attention. "Mom, tell me." She was very satisfied with his attitude and said everything she needed to.
"When we were in the hospital, I had a small discussion with Vera. In the future, David and I will take care of the children. We are old, so we don't О have much to do. It's also good for us to take care of the children at home. We have only one daughter in our fife, so we wouldn't be taking sides even if we are to take care of the children. If you young people want to go all out for your career, you can do it, but take good care of your health first. After all, we are just human, and what we can do is limited."
"So," Mabie put down the cutlery in her hand. "What do you think of my suggestion? You two can go to work, and we can look after the children. If you don't want us to look after them, then don't sleep with them in the sroom. They are too noisy at night." "Mom." Quill's face was solemn. "I think you are right. I was trying to be too independent before. This matter is also a warning for me. Your proposal is a good idea. If you and Dad look after the children, Vera and I can be at ease too." After that, he held Vera's hand and put it on the table.
"We all agree." X
