"Beanie's uncle's home?"
Mabie was still wondering who Beanie's uncle was...
She was a smart person. Combining the recent information and Vera's embarrassed tone, she had a hunch as to who the person was.
However, she couldn't confirm.
So Mabie asked, "Are you staying there tonight?"
"Mom... don't ask any more questions. My mind is a mess right now. Can we talk after I get back tomorrow?"
Vera was her darling. Mabie's heart softened when she heard her daughter speak in an aggrieved tone. Just as she was about to agree, David spoke in time.
"Vivy, have a good rest then. If there is anything, you must tell us. Don't be afraid, okay?"
"Okay."
After hanging up the phone, Mabie glanced at David.
"I haven't agreed yet. What are you in a hurry? Do you know who Beanie's uncle is? Although Beanie has a good relationship with us, who knows what his uncle is like? Do you really trust him?"
David said with a serious face, "Of course I do. Beanie is so well- mannered. I believe his family members would not be evil people. But the most important thing is that Vivy trusts him. Naturally, as her father, I trust him too."
Well, the latter sentence was right. Vera went out with Sheridan, and they were initially worried that Vera might be coerced, so they crazily hinted at a few sentences. However, Vera directly pointed it out; there was even a hint of helplessness in her tone.
Later, she said that Sheridan should be in the hospital, and she was in Beanie's uncle's home; her tone fluctuated as she spoke.
Since she was willing to stay there and that man happened to be Beanie's uncle, the both of them let it go.
After Vera hung up the phone, she saw that the battery of her phone was low. She had used her phone an entire day. Later, Mabie called her many times, using up most of the battery power.
Fortunately, there was still a little left.
After reporting that she was safe, Vera held the phone in her hand and looked around the empty room.
She felt afraid previously. But because what happened just now was too illusory, it shrouded all her fears.
Vera walked out hesitantly. As she walked, the slippers flipped-flopped loudly; the slippers were overly big for her, so it was hard for her to control; the sound stuck out like a sore thumb in the silent night.
She was a little embarrassed, so she could only try to curl up her feet as much as possible and tried to keep quiet as she walked.
She pushed the door open, she saw that the lights in the corridor were on, but there was no one.
The house was huge, and so was the corridor. But Vera couldn't see anyone, and she didn't know where Quill had gone to. She didn't want to stay here alone, so she could only find Quill with difficulty in her slippers.
At the corner, a white cat suddenly jumped out and leaped past her. Because the cat appeared suddenly and rushed towards Vera, it gave her a shock and caused her to step back in reflex.
But her shoes were so big that they got in the way and she landed on the floor.
In the silence of the night, Vera was so scared that her heart was pounding, and the hair on the back of her neck stood.
At the same time, a large hand suddenly grabbed her arm, and Vera screamed out of fear. When she wanted to push the person away, a clear and familiar male voice sounded behind her.
"Its me."
This was... Quill's voice.
It was a voice that could put her at ease.
After hesitating for a moment, she turned around and threw herself into Quill's arms. She hugged him tightly, burying her face in his chest, refusing to look away.
