"Mmph."
Vera's vision went dark as she felt Quill's lips on hers.
Dazed and lost, she subconsciously grabbed Quill's collar, leaning against him as her knees went weak.
After God-knew-how-long, Quill finally retreated.
During the kiss, he moved his hand from her chin to both sides of her cheeks, transforming into a careful kiss as he cupped her face.
Then it deepened. After stepping back, Quill's thumb moved along her soft cheeks to her mouth, gently caressing it.
Sh*t! Vera's face flushed. They'd gone overboard!
Her gaze flew around, not daring to look at him.
"Are you hungry now?"
Vera nodded blindly and said, "Yes!"
"Let's go then."
"No, no..." Vera shook her head. "I have to go back to the restaurant. Maybe next time?"
In truth, she wanted to go back and continue folding the paper cranes. She had to get it done as soon as possible. Otherwise, she wouldn't be able to get it done in time!
Quill did not expect Vera to reject him. Helpless, he pinched her nose. "You don't even have time for dinner?"
Embarrassed, just when Vera was thinking about how to answer his question, Quill sighed helplessly and said, "Some other day then. Let me drive you home."
"No, I'll go back myself. It won't take long!"
After that, Vera broke free from his arms and ran away. After a certain distance, she waved at Quill and said, "Go back to work. I can go back by myself."
Seeing how energetic she looked as she waved her hands at him, Quill couldn't help smiling.
Then, he also waved her goodbye.
"Stay safe."
"Alright!"
After receiving his affirmation, Vera went into the elevator, assured.
As the elevator reached the lobby, Vera bumped into Yulia, who was in a daze, just as she came out.
She stood in front of the elevator with a blank look in her eyes, looking like she was lost. She didn't even notice Vera when she came out of the elevator.
Because of the bond Vera formed with Yulia in the hospital, she took the initiative to greet her.
Hearing a voice, Yulia came back to her senses. She then became a little absent- minded again when she saw Vera smiling brightly.
However, instantaneously, she focused her gaze on Vera, looking at her in disbelief.
Because at that moment, Vera's lips were glowing, and her gaze was soft and charming; She looked incredibly beautiful. While she rode the elevator multiple times in a daze, they were...
She felt a dull throbbing in her heart. As if tens of thousands of arrows were piercing through it.
Within a split second, Yulia's face became ghastly pale. Even her steps were a little unstable, nearly forward.
"Huh?"
Seeing Yulia in a daze as she came out of the elevator, Vera wondered what was troubling her. Then her face suddenly became pale as her body fell forward; Vera subconsciously supported her and asked, "Are you all right? You don't look so good. Are you not feeling well?"
