Perfect Mysterious Husband novel Chapter 1357

Seeing she was in pain, Quill wanted to walk toward her, but she screamed at him not to.

As if his mere existence irritated Vera, he stopped in his tracks. "Alright, I won't come any closer, but you need to calm down."

With that, Vera took a few deep breaths and eventually managed to compose herself.

However, the dull ache in her stomach still did not disappear completely. With a pale face, she moved toward the elevator while using the wall as support.

Quill didn't follow her, worried she might pass out from agitation.

Vera didn't turn back to look either but went straight back home. Probably because she was too emotional earlier, she collapsed on the sofa.

The pain in her stomach slowly faded. Vera poured herself a glass of water then looked at her stomach, fearful.

It had happened twice that day. Was there something wrong with the baby?

At that thought, she became distressed but also annoyed at her reaction.

How could she still be worried about her baby when things had led to this?

If she was rational, she shouldn't have kept the baby. However, they weren't Quill's alone.

Her blood was running through the baby too. They couldn't choose their mother, and it would be unfair for the baby to be abandoned just because she had ended it all.

Moreover, she truly anticipated the baby's arrival.

Vera felt that she had won the lottery when she found out she was pregnant. Even happier than when Quill asked her to be his girlfriend.

How miserable.

Vera closed her eyes and curled up on the sofa.

Midnight.

Vera dragged her luggage out the door and put on a coat and a hat when she saw Quill had left.

Mr. and Mrs. Zais were worried when they saw Vera like this.

"Why don't you let your father drive you to the train station?"

"It's fine, Mom. I've called a taxi. It'll arrive soon."

Nevertheless, Mabie was still worried. "I'll go with you then. I still don't like this idea." "Mom, I'm fine. I just want to take a trip to gather my thoughts, get some fresh air. I've been woefully busy these few years, so I haven't been able to go on a vacation alone. Just take this trip as my me time."

"But..."

Mabie wanted to say more, but Vera hugged her.

"Don't worry about me, okay? I promise I'll be back after I feel better. I'll be home in one piece, okay?"

"Vivy..."

"Alright now, she's already made up her mind, so stop bothering her lest she finds us annoying. She'd survived abroad for five years on her own before; I'm confident she'll be okay."

Since David vouched for his daughter, Mabie did not say anything else.

The two of them saw Vera off.

After she got into the car, Vera turned on her phone and saw countless missed calls from Quill. She dismissed them and checked her Facebook Messenger.

There was a message from Juliette, probably asking what had happened.

Yulia had also sent her.

There was only one.

"You've heard it, haven't you? Don't overthink it. Although we had an engagement, he's yours now, after all. He'll shoulder the responsibility."
