Vera ran back to the room in one breath; she was still panting when she closed the door. She bit her lower lip in annoyance and held her cheeks. Why was she so agitated? She should have just answered those questions calmly and pretended that nothing had happened.

She had done it. She showed such a huge reaction in front of Quill; he would probably think that she cared about this greatly.

She was really timid and embarrassing.

How should she go downstairs later? And what did he mean about the incident the night before? Perhaps... would it be better for her to pretend that nothing happened? As she thought about this, Vera wanted to give herself a big thumbs-up for being quick-witted.

As long as she pretended that nothing had happened and acted normal, everything would be fine.

After taking a deep breath, Vera silently encouraged herself and opened the door. When she was about to go downstairs, she saw Quill standing right in front of her.

She jumped in fright and widened her eyes as she took a few steps backwards.

"W-why are you here?" Shouldn't he be talking with Juliette downstairs? Why did he cup only after such a short while? "Are you really going to eat this little?" It bothered him that she didn't eat much earlier, so Quill asked her the moment he saw her. Vera was stunned for a moment, then she nodded blankly. "I... I'm full. I can't eat anymore." "Have a little more; I'll take you hafter that." Her parents must have been distressed about her since she hadn't gone hall night. Quill should have sent her to the hospital, then her hafter the incident.

But she probably didn't want her parents to worry too much, so she asked him to take her to a hotel.

How could he leave a young lady in a hotel alone? What's more, she was still...

Thinking of that, Quill's gaze fell on the wound on her face. Although he had applied sointment onto the wound, there was still a mark after one night.

"Does your face still hurt?" Quill's voice unconsciously softened a little. He reached out a hand to touch the wound on her face and gently rubbed against it with his finger.

Vera trembled a little. Quill frowned and said, "Is it still painful? You should continue applying ointment on it." Actually, it wasn't the pain that bothered Vera. The slap on her face was really painful, but the medicine that Quill gave her was an antiinflammatory ointment, so her face was almost completely healed after a night, though it still hurt a little when someone touched it.

It was just that when Quill's slightly cold fingertips touched her, Vera couldn't seem to control the excitement and trembles inside.

She then began to stammer from nervousness.

"I-it doesn't hurt. It's much better now." "Where's the ointment?" Quill asked her.

"It's... it's in there. Should I get it?" "Sure." Vera then went inside and got the ointment. She left it in the bathroom after she applied it to her back. She took the ointment out and handed it to Quill.

After handing it over, Vera suddenly remembered that the wound was on her face. She could have applied the ointment on her own in the bathroom. Yet, she handed it to Quill. Wasn't she making it obvious that she wanted him to apply the ointment for her? Thinking of this, Vera suddenly reached out her hand in embarrassment. "I... I'll do it myself." However, Quill had already opened the lid and started applying it to her wound.

Vera lowered her eyes, feeling awkward, wanting to avoid him.

"Don't move." His breath brushed by her cheeks and landed on her face. Vera was so nervous that she kept blinking. She could feel Quill's warm fingers rubbing her cheeks.

Until he was done applying the ointment.

Vera was so nervous that her toes were all curled up.

"It's done. Go down and eat smore, then I'll send you back later." "O-okay..." Vera simply nodded and followed him downstairs. Ko by was initially sitting on the sofa, but when it saw Quill coming down with her following behind, it ran off again. Vera was rendered speechless.

Did it have to do this? Can't it save her sface in front of Quill? It ran away so fast as if she had tortured it in secret.

"Umm, it seems that Koby doesn't like me..." Quill answered indifferently, "It doesn't like to be disturbed when it's eating. You hugged and petted it for a long tthis morning. It probably thought that you wanted to snatch its food." Vera didn't know what to say again. Why would she snatch a cat's food? "I thought it was because it was afraid oftouching it again. Oh yeah... why would you keep a cat here? I've never heard of this before..." She had always thought that the Quill she saw when she was with Minerva had always been the truest side of him. She had never imagined that this man had such a place, let alone a cat.

Perhaps, she had always been wrong? Or perhaps Quill had many secrets that many people did not know about? She wanted to know, but she didn't dare to ask, After all, this was his privacy, and she was in no position to ask him such questions. Although they kissed the night before, who knew if the kiss was just to calm her down? "The cat..." Quill uttered, then fell silent and did not continue.

Vera was suddenly curious. Was there a story behind the cat? Did it belong to an ex-girlfriend? Or someone else? No, she had never heard of Quill being in a relationship before. It shouldn't be an exgirlfriend.

As Vera let her imagination run wild, her phone rang. It was Mabie; Vera answered the call.

"Mom?" "Vivy, didn't you say that you'll be back today? Look at the time. Why aren't you back yet? You're making us worry."

Vera looked at the time. Although it was not late, it was not early either. It was only going to be eightthirty. Her parents would usually wake up at six thirty in the morning. After what happened last night, she was sure that they didn't sleep well, and they might have spent the whole night awake. They had probably stayed up until dawn, and they had been waiting for her for hours.

Vera felt guilty and quickly said, "Mom, I'm going back very soon. You don't have to worry you two eaten youyoutHave breakfast yet? You should eat first. I'll explain everything when I get back." "Really? Then cback soon. Don't make us wait for long." After hanging up, Vera then looked at Quill.

"My mom is urgingto go back. I..." "Let's go then." Quill went back to his room and took his keys. When he cout, he was wearing a coat and holding another in his hand.

"Put it on. It's still a little cold outside."

Vera took the jacket and found that it was his short jacket. It was not too big on her. When doon vera cavey Gaobed the saw a pair of white female shoes on the shoe rack, similar to what she usually wore. "You bought them for me?" "Who else?" Quill was all ready, leaning against the door with his keys in hand while looking at her.
