The room was silent for a long time. Kimberly did not hear Quill speak again.
"Mr. Hanover?" She called tentatively.
Didn't he say that he had a question for her? In fact, Kimberly had already noticed it. The last time Quill asked her to go to the restaurant near the hospital, he looked indecisive. Therefore, she felt he indeed had a question wanted to ask her.
However, that time, he didn't ask her anything. This time... he was still hesitant. What was wrong with him?
"Why can't you just tell me? Is it because... it's a very private question?" She asked.
Quill nodded slightly.
Kimberly was astonished. "Really? Does it have something to do with my body?" She thought.
Thinking of this, Kimberly blushed and she was embarrassed.
"In fact, even if I don't ask this question, I can be sure you are my sister, but since you are worrying..." Looking at her red face, Quill suddenly felt that it was not bad to tease her. Thus, he slightly lifted the corner of her mouth and whispered, "If you're really curious, I can also tell you the truth. But... are you sure you want to know?"
Kimberly didn't know how to respond.
"Okay, then I'll tell you now," Quill said. "Wait a minute!" Kimberly suddenly interrupted him and pursed her lips awkwardly. "Umm, I... I think it is not necessary. As long as you have confirmed it."
Seeing that he didn't ask it after a long while, Kimberly felt that even if she insisted on knowing it, he would probably not be able to say it out loud. Moreover, if the question was really so private, it would be embarrassing for both of them if he asked it.
Forget it.
It was the Hanover family in North City. It was not a bad thing to have such a family to back her up. In addition, she looked so similar to the woman in the photo, so it could not be wrong.
"So when will you... tell Sylvia about this?" She asked again.
Quill's eyes became a bit cold when she mentioned Sylvia. "I'll settle this matter once she is discharged from hospital..."
An evil thought suddenly emerged in Kimberly's heart.
Sylvia had just hooked up with Maddox, but she was about to lose her noble identity. A few days ago, she was still laughing at Kimberly's status and the fact that she was carrying an illegitimate child. She even claimed she and Maddox were from the same league, but now, she was about to fall from that league. Was this... retribution?
Anyway, what Sylvia had done had made Kimberly unable to feel sorry for her.
Their friendship had broken up in a day. "I got it. Then I'll leave it to you," she said.
"Do you wish to see her?" Quill had heard of the disagreement between her and Sylvia. Although he did not know why the two of them would be in this situation, it was likely a serious matter.
"No." Kimberly refused directly. "There's nothing more to talk about. We're done."
These words triggered a burst of silence. Kimberly suddenly thought of something. She looked at Quill and asked lightly, "Mr. Hanover, do you think... I've become complacent? After I knew the truth."
Quill paused for a moment before he smiled, "Silly girl."
Kimberly was stunned.
"What did he call me?" She thought.
"Sylvia had deceived you for so many years. It's normal that you don't want to see her. Moreover, you are the young lady of the Hanover family from now on. Just go ahead and do whatever you want to do, be whatever you want to be. In the future, I'll..."
He paused for a while and then said slowly, "In the future, the whole Hanover family will have your back."
These words were sincere, and it would be a lie to say that she was not moved. Kimberly felt like she was about to tear up. At this time, the door rang and Vera came back.
Kimberly immediately stood up and said, "Sorry, I've got to go to the bathroom."
