The winter was getting colder. When Minerva cout of the hospital after a checkup, she shivered in the cold wind.
Abigail took off the scarf from her neck and wrapped it around her.
Minerva quickly refused. "There's no need, Auntie. It's so cold. If you givethe scarf, you'll feel cold." Abigail looked at her helplessly and couldn't help but blher. "Since you knew that you would feel cold under this weather, why didn't you wear more clothes? You know that you are pregnant, but you still don't pay more attention." After being reprimanded by her, Minerva didn't dare say a word of defiance and silently accepted it.
Abigail helped her to keep the scarf on her. As she spoke, waves of hot air cout of her mouth. She looked at the buildings around her and said, "It's almost the New Year. I guess that I will accompany you abroad for this New Year." Upon hearing this, Minerva was stunned. She followed her gaze and looked over subconsciously.
"Has tpassed so fast? Was it going to be the New Year soon?" She gently stroked her stomach. By New Year, the baby in her stomach would be exactly three months old. Minerva thought of her distant son, Beanie.
She hadn't seen him for a long time.

Abigail said, "Well, don't just stand here like a fool. Get ready to go back." "Okay." The two of them held each other's hands and walked forward. As soon as they walked to the side of the road, a car stopped in front of them. It didn't look like a taxi or a private car. Soon, the door opened, and several men gathered around.
About five men were in black and sunglasses. They looked like gangsters. Minerva frowned and looked at them calmly.
Abigail sneered at them and asked, "What's up?" Several men were expressionless, and one of them, who seemed to be the leader, said, "Our master wants to see you." Abigail said, "Really? Who is your master? Why do we have to meet him if he wants to meet us?" "Miss Abigail, please don't make things difficult for us. Master just wants to treat the two of you to a meal," the man said.
Abigail replied, "Then go back and tell your master, who doesn't dare to show his face to others, that we don't want to go." After that, she took Minerva's hand and was ready to leave.
When the men saw this, they frowned and instantly surrounded the two of them again. They blocked their way. "Miss Abigail..." Abigail frowned and shouted, "Get out of my way!" When the men saw her like this, they had no choice but to step aside helplessly.
Only then did Abigail and Minerva leave. A few men looked at the back of the two people leaving, and they stayed together to discuss something.
After walking for a while, Abigail slowed down. "He's really like an annoying fly appearing everywhere." They linked arms, and the entire journey was quiet.
Just now, the master whom the group of people were talking about was obvious. They wanted Abigail to go back, but dared not to use violence with her. They retreated directly with her roar.
Who else could it be other than Master Collins? As Minerva was thinking of this, she couldn't help but say, "Perhaps, Master Collins really wants to see you." Upon hearing this, Abigail stopped and turned her head to look at her.
Her gaze was deep and looked a little scary. Minerva's scalp turned numb from her stare. "What's wrong?" Abigail then said, "He wants to see me. What does it have to do with me? I made myself very clear that year. If it wasn't for the matter between you and Maddox, I wouldn't have chere at all." Minerva felt a little guilty. "I'm sorry, Auntie. It's all because ofthat you have to chere." "It's fine." Abigail reached out and pinched her face. "It's almost noon. Why don't you call Maddox and ask him to have lunch in the company today? We can have our lunch at the restaurant. I know a restauran and I miss the food there. I don't know if it's still open now." Minerva agreed. Then, she sent a message to Maddox saying that she would be having lunch with her aunt outside, and asked him to have lunch himself in the company.
After sending the text message, Abigail saw her put away her mobile phone and took her into a taxi that had just been hailed. After telling the driver the address, she said, "In fact, since you are with him now, you don't have to go to work in the company anymore." Upon hearing this, Minerva was a little taken aback. "If I don't go, would he think ofas the kind of woman who is lazy, and vain?" Abigail asked, "Do you think you are?" Minerva shook her head. "No." "So what is the problem? You're not that kind of person, and Maddox wouldn't look at you like that. If you're not pregnant, you can go to work as long as you want, but look at you now. What did the doctor tell you when you were checking today?" When she was thinking of the doctor's earnest words, Minerva pursed her lips and did not say anything.
Since she had gotten pregnant, her body seemed to be a lot worse.
No, it must have been after Maddox's plane accident. It had been hard for her to eat and sleep well. Shechad been caught in the rain and caught a high fever. Then, she had been busy with all sorts of chores. She had felt exhausted then and could not hold on much longer. However, she did not expect to have a relationship with Maddox after coming here. She had actually had signs of a miscarriage.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThinking of Beanie, she had experienced so much when she was pregnant with him, and she was also in good health, but this baby...
Thinking of this, she let out a heavy sigh. "I understand. I will think of a way." They soon arrived at a restaurant. When Abigail walked to the door, she stopped.
"Is this the restaurant that you mentioned?" Minerva asked.
Abigail looked at the decoration in front of her and the people inside, and the light in her eyes slowly faded. "No." Things had changed. So many years had passed, so it was normal that the restaurant had closed.
Minerva could sense that she was in a much lower mood. She said, "Why don't we..." "Let's eat at this restaurant," Abigail said.
"Alright."
To her surprise, the taste of this restaurant was not bad. After lunch, Could Minerva felt like she could no longer hold back her urge to use the bathroom. "I'm going to the washroom." Helplessly, after pregnancy, there was only one problem, which was that she couldn't hold back her urine.
Minerva put her phone and bag on the table and went to the bathroom. When she cout of the bathroom after washing her hands, she saw someone looking hostile standing in front of her. Her expression changed. She changed her mind very quickly and immediately said, "You guys want Abi..." Unfortunately, before she could finish her words, the back of her neck was hit heavily, and the rest of her words were stopped. She wanted to say something, but darkness cover her. Then, Minerva lost consciousness.
