Perfect Mysterious Husband novel Chapter 1457

Vera slept through the day. It was already night by the time she woke up.

That was the most rested she had been since the incident.

Mabie had stayed by her side throughout the day. Although she was bored and extremely sleepy, she did not walk away.

She was afraid of waking Vera up. After all, her daughter had not had a good night's sleep ever since the incident. She was afraid that her movements might jolt her awake..

Mabie was aware as soon as Vera woke up.

"Vivy, you're awake?"

Her voice was soft when she spoke to her. She was afraid that she might be frightened if she spoke loudly.

"Mom."

Vera gently lifted her head and sat up. She looked at Mabie with a pair of confused eyes. "How long have I been asleep?"

"You've been sleeping for the entire day. Are you hungry? I'll make you some food."

Vera didn't have any appetite to eat initially, but she suddenly became hungry after hearing Mabie's question.

She realized that she was famished. She nodded and said, "Okay."

Mabie was exhilarated when she heard that Vera finally agreed to eat. She immediately got up and prepared to cook for her.

Vera looked around and found that they were the only two people in the room.

"Mom, where is Quill?"

She remembered seeing him before she fell asleep. Mabie thought that it wasn't necessary for him to stay as she was there to accompany her as well.

"Child, Quill has been by your side for so many days. He had not slept at all, so he needs some rest. Why don't you let him rest for a while?"

Vera's heart was filled with guilt as she heard what her mother said.

First, it was the fire, and then her unstable mental state had kept Quill up for the past few days. She recalled his appearance before she went to bed. His eyes were bloodshot, and there were dark circles under his eyes. Even his usually clean shaven chin was filled with stubble.

He, who usually looked neat and tidy, had gotten so unkempt and tired because of her.

She bit her dry lips and said, "Alright, Mom. I'm not looking for him. I just wanted to know how he was."

"Quill has sacrificed so much for you recently. Thankfully you're alright. Hopefully it won't happen anymore. Your dad and I are old, so our hearts can't bear such a fright."

"It won't happen again, Mom. Don't worry. I will take care of myself in the future. I'll manage my emotions carefully."

"That's good." Mabie reached out and touched her daughter's head tenderly. "I'll prepare food for you now."

"Okay."

As Mabie left the room, she bumped into Quill at the door.

"Quill! Why are you back so soon? You should rest more."

As she finished her sentence, she noticed that something was amiss. He was still wearing the same clothes from the day before, and he looked even worse than before. The dark circles under his eyes were even more prominent.

He had not been asleep at all. Where had he been all day?

He answered calmly, "I've rested well. Leave this to me. You can have a rest now, Mom."

Mabie waved her hand and said, "You guys go ahead. I'll prepare some food for her and send it over later."

Vera looked outside expectantly when she heard Quill's voice. When she saw him walk over, she quickly lifted her quilt and got up. He took a few quick steps forward and held her hand.
