Perfect Mysterious Husband (Maddox and Kimberly)

However, Quill did not tell Vera how much he had paid even until the end. In the face of her persistent questioning eyes, he avoided it and lowered his head to take the medicine from her hand.

Vera didn't know what he was doing; she let him take the bag.

Then she watched Quill put the bag into his pocket.

Vera didn't know how to react.

Seeing this, Vera couldn't help blinking her eyes. Did she anger him because she kept asking about the price? And now he wasn't going to give the medicine to her? This was the only thought in Vera's mind. She felt a little depressed, but she quickly thought it through. If he wasn't going to give her the medicine, she could just go to the pharmacy and buy smore herself As she was reasoning things in her mind, Quill suddenly approached her and reached out his hand.

Vera leaned back and looked at Quill.

"What... what are you doing?" Quill's hand paused mid-air and asked dejectedly, "Do you want to stay in the hospital, or would you prefer to go home?" "Go home?" It was only then Vera realized he was planning to take her back home. So his action just now was to carry her again? "What was going on? Was he addicted to carrying her all of a sudden? Hadn't he usually kept his distance from her? "If you don't want to go home, where do you want to go?" "Of course, I want to go home, but you don't have to send me. I can go hby myself." Even though he stayed silent, Vera already knew the answer in her heart. She was such an idiot. She had just been asked such an embarrassing question. If she promised to let him send her hnow, what kind of person would she be? Upon hearing this, Quill didn't rush either. His eyes moved down along her face and fell on her injured leg. "You want to go back by yourself? Can you walk?" Vera felt a little guilty under his sharp eyes. She bit her lower lip and nodded, "Of... of course, I can walk by myself." "So, you have forgotten what the doctor said to you earlier?" Vera remained silent.

"The doctor told you not to do any exercise and to avoid walking around too much." Vera stared at him, speechless. Does he actually mean to say that he wanted to carry her back? Sure enough, seeing that Vera did not speak, Quill went forward and carried her in his arms again. Vera's eyebrows were furrowed tight, she didn't know where to put her arms, and she wasn't going to grip his neck again. She could only snuggle in his embrace.

Oddly enough, Vera was the only one who felt awkward in this situation. Whether she was held in his arms, when she was placed into the passenger seat of the car, or when he fastened her seat belt, Quill's expression was always faint, even his breath was extremely calm.

Vera, on the other hand, had no control over her emotions.

Her expression changed over every action he took. Due to his gentle touch, her face was burning up, and her heartbeat was racing because of his breath. Once they were in the car, Vera didn't even ask where he was taking her. Instead, she slumped on her seat and closed her eyes, pretending to be dead.

She thought it was best she pretended to be asleep and not care about it anymore once she reached hand got down from the car.

As for the money he paid for her treatment, if he wouldn't accept it, she would just transfer the money to Minerva and let her pass it to him.

And if Minerva wouldn't do it, she would ask Beanie.

Beanie would help her.

On the way home, Vera kept her eyes tightly closed. When Quill stopped at a red light, he turned to look at her. She grabbed onto the seatbelt in front of her tightly. Although her eyes were closed, she still looked as if she was ready to die, and her breathing was unstable. The swollen side of her cheek still had a hand imprint that looked rather nasty.

Quill's eyes darkened slightly, and veins throbbed on his forehead.

Vera had only wanted to close her eyes and pretend to be asleep, but she didn't know what happened, maybe because Quill's driving was so steady, or she was too tired, she ended up actually falling asleep.

When she woke up, she found her surroundings to be very quiet; the car had stopped.

Had they reached? Vera looked around and saw that they were indeed at her place; the car was stopped at the splace where Quill sent her hlast time.

She didn't expect to fall asleep. Vera suddenly looked at Quill and happened to meet his slightly cold eyes.

"You're awake?" Vera nodded and regained her senses.

"Thank you for sendingback and for everything else today." "Mm." Quill nodded.

For a moment, the atmosphere was a little awkward. Vera took a deep breath and said, "I'll be going then." "I'll walk you up." "No! You can't." Vera refused him firmly. "This is my home. Everyone around here knows me. If you followup, people may misunderstand. I'll go up by myself. The doctor said I shouldn't do too much walking, not that I shouldn't walk at all. Just less." She was afraid that he would be stubborn about it, so Vera overwhelmed him with all her reasonings. When she finished, she' realized that she might have said too much. She could only scratch her head embarrassingly, the opened the door and got out of the car.

"Be careful." Quill wanted to get out of the car, but Vera stopped him and said, "No need to followup. You should leave first. Thank you for today..."

She peered around, looking like a thief making a getaway. After After m confirming that there were no suspicious neighbors around, she turned around and limped upstairs.

Quill could only watch as she limped away, as though she had seen a m ghost. Quill's cold eyes were tinged with a doting expression that he didn't realize he had until Vera's figure disappeared from view. It was only then that he withdrew his gaze and focused it on his steering wheel. The corners of his lips curled up into the faintest of smiles.

The truth was... he didn't mind being misunderstood.

Vera was out of breath by the tshe entered her home. Her parents were still in the restaurant so the house was quiet, she was alone.

Vera was so nervous earlier that she becthirsty. So, she went to the kitchen and poured herself a glass of water. She drank a huge glass in one go.

Then the doorbell rang.

As soon as she heard it, Vera becvery conscious of her surroundings.

Someone rang the doorbell as soon as she got home? Did her neighbor Amelia see her coming up to her house? As she thought about it, Vera put down her glass and went to open the door.

She hid behind the door, only showing her head.

After realizing who it was, Vera widened her eyes in surprise.

"You..." "You forgot your medicine." Quill handed the bag in his hand to her. Vera stretched out her hand and took the bag feeling unsure of how to feel.

Quill left right after delivering the medicine. Vera returned to the living room, threw herself weakly onto the sofa, and swung the bag in her hand around.

After swinging it around for about ten minutes, Vera remembered that she had to call Mabie to tell her her current situation. Touching her shet m pocket, she found that her phone had gone missing. She suddenly remembered that Quill had picked up her phone when it fell onto the ground earlier, and he put it into his pocket. X
