Fortunately, Minerva came back shortly.
Upon seeing Minerva, Vera and Beanie felt as if they were like tadpoles who had found their mother. They swiftly walked up to her and clung to her side.
"Minerva."
"Mommy."
After going to the washroom, Minerva washed her face and calmed down. She did not expect to see Vera and Beanie when she came out. She was slightly surprised but responded quickly.
It was entirely within her expectations that Vera would come here. After all, she had wanted to follow them here earlier on, but Minerva did not allow her to do so.
However... she still came.
"Your restaurant has just opened today. Wouldn't there be any problem for you to come here just like this?"
Vera frowned and said in an unpleasant tone.
"Minerva, let's not talk about my shop. It's not that important now."
Minerva smiled. "Why isn't it important? If it was in normal times, it wouldn't be a big deal. But today..."
"Alright, that's enough. If the restaurant is not performing well, I can still find a way in the future. But there is only one Minvera in this world. How could I not come to you after something like this happened? We already know about Young Master Yardley's condition. Let's sit for a while."
Vera pointed at the chair next to her, Minerva nodded and did not insist on anything else.
The three of them sat down.
Perhaps because of this unusual situation, Beanie was particularly obedient and quiet. He did not say anything other than holding his mommy's arm and stroking her to comfort her.
The two men stood at the side while the three of them sat. Soon enough, they fell into silence again.
They did not know when Maddox would wake up, nor did they know what they should do next. However, it was impossible for them to leave now.
Hence, every second and minute passed just like that.
While they were sitting and waiting, the surrounding temperature seemed to have dropped a lot.
Vera felt a little cold, but she did not dare to show it. Moreover, she was worried about Minerva the most now.
After all, Minerva was pregnant. Thinking of this, Vera said, "Minerva, how about..."
"You don't have to mention it, nor say anything. I won't go back."
"No... You misunderstood me." Vera grinned. "I wasn't trying to persuade you to go back. How can I not know what you're like after so many years? What I want to say is, since Young Master Yardley needs to stay in the ward after his observation anyway, why don't we book a ward next door? There is a bed in it. You can go in and sleep for a night."
"Young Madam, I think that's a good suggestion. Your body is weak, and now it's the coldest time of the day. It's not even the night yet, it'll be colder when night falls. What if Young Master Yardley wakes up by then? We won't be able to explain ourselves to him."
What they said was all true. The temperature in the corridor was indeed low.
It would probably be even colder at nightfall.
She could endure it, but the baby in her belly could not. Besides, she had Vera and Beanie by her side. She could not let them suffer while she kept vigil.
Thinking of this, Minerva agreed and said, "Okay
then."
Because what they booked was a VIP ward, it was an independent room. There were facilities inside such as an air-conditioner and hot water. However, no one brought their clothes, so they naturally did not take a bath.
When Minerva entered the room, she looked back at Sam and Quill.
Quill and Sam looked at each other and said.
"We'll keep watch here for the night, so you can rest without worry."
Minerva finally nodded and gave them a grateful look.
"I'll bring you guys blankets later."
Vera naturally followed Minerva into the ward.
After they entered the room, Sam said, "Mr. Hanover, you have to go to work tomorrow, don't you? You can just leave this to me."
