In fact, it wasn't that Vera's reflex was slow, but rather, she was just thinking about something else, so she reacted slightly slower.
She looked at Quill feeling wronged.
He froze for a moment looking at her expression, then suddenly sighed.
He didn't expect time to pass so fast. That little girl of his had already become the mother of two children, and he had also become a father.
He, who once thought that it was impossible for him to get married in his lifetime, had a family then.
Thinking of that, he reached out and pulled her into his arms. Then, he rubbed her forehead which was being pained from his knock earlier gently.
"I'm sorry. I was a little anxious just now. Is it very painful?"
She didn't expect him to apologize to her and even rub the wound for her. She was a little surprised for a while, but she greedily stayed in his embrace.
She wanted to nestle in his arms, but was afraid that his body was still too weak, so she shook her head while still half leaning on him and said, "It's not painful. If it really hurts, how could I have reacted so slowly?"
She was afraid that he would blame himself, so she said it didn't hurt.
With the softness of his fingers, as he gently rubbed her forehead, the pain from earlier had long since disappeared.
After that, Vera thought of something again. She looked up at him and asked, "You just woke up. Do we really not need to call the doctor to check on you? After all, you have a concussion. Although it's just a slight one, I think you should still get checked."
No matter what, she was extremely worried.
Quill looked at her and thought that she would not be at ease if they did not have the doctor to come look at him, so he nodded in agreement.
"Well, I'll have to trouble you to call the doctor over for me then."
"How is that a trouble?" She glared at him and pouted. "I am your wife. What are you talking about?"
Then, she got out of bed and went out to look for the doctor. On the way there, she recalled what he said about troubling her. He was always very polite, and she felt extremely uncomfortable about Later, the doctor came and checked Quill again. After making sure that he was fine, the doctor told him to take precautions and to stay in the hospital for observations for three days. If there was nothing else, he could be discharged from the hospital to recuperate at home.
"Thank you."
After the doctor left, Vera stood far away and did not go over.
Quill leaned against the pillow and looked at the girl, who had already become a mother, standing far away from him. He could not help feeling curious. "What's wrong? Why are you standing so far away? Did I offend you?"
Hearing that, she looked at him angrily and snorted.
"No, you talk to me so politely. How could you possibly have offended me?"
Was he being polite?
He thought for a moment and remembered that he had just told her that he would have to trouble her to get a doctor.
Could it be that she felt that his words were too polite, and so she got angry?
"Is it worthwhile for you to be angry?" He looked at her helplessly and smiled. "Hurry up and come over here."
