Perfect Mysterious Husband novel Chapter 1157

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 come up 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 home after that."

Her parents must have been distressed about her since she hadn't gone home all night. Quill should have sent her to the hospital, then her home after 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 some ointment 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.

"l-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."
