After asking this question, Quill was completely silent.
Minerva couldn't say a word for a moment. Perhaps she shouldn't have asked that question.
"I'm sorry, Quill. I-1 didn't mean it. I just want to know."
"I'm fine." Quill smiled without emotion. "Mother passed away many years ago. I have moved on since then. Moreover, I have accomplished the task she gave me and found you, my sister."
After that, Quill reached out and rubbed her head, then whispered, "Since you were lost, mother had hallucinations. She only cared about your whereabouts everyday. She inquired about many places and went to many places in person. I couldn't stop her, so I had to go with her. Later, her mind became more confused and she became ill. What's more... she was in poor health after delivery."
Minerva was shocked when she heard this.
"Wh-why... even if I'm gone, she should take care of herself."
"Because she always felt that she had failed to take good care of you, which led to your being abducted. She blamed herself and felt guilty, plus her other emotions, what do you think that would do to her?"
Minerva was at a loss for words.
"One more thing. Father's plane crash was another piece of bad news. When Mother received the news, she was at a small village on top of a mountain, looking for you. When she came down the mountain, she had a great fall."
Minerva's eyes were wide opened and she was breathing quickly.
"After sending her to the hospital, the doctor asked us to go in and see her for the last time."
Quill seemed to be telling a bland story. There were still no expressions on his face. However, being so close to him, Minerva could clearly see the complicated emotions in his eyes.
After that, they stood silently in front of the tomb for a long time. Then, Minerva placed the bouquet of flowers in front of the tomb and watched the sky darken. It was only when it was about to rain that Quill called her to leave.
After they left the cemetery and as soon as they got into the car, it rained.
After a light rain, the weather had become much cooler. It was no longer as stuffy and hot as before.
As for dinner, Vera still made up an excuse, saying that she was not feeling well, so she did not join them for dinner. Knowing what was going on, Minerva asked the servants to send the food upstairs to her.
After dinner, Minerva and Beanie took out their phones and played games in the living room.
However, Quill suddenly sat down, took a document and handed it to her.
"What is this?" "The information regarding company registration."
"Company registration?" Minerva's hand stopped moving and she was a little surprised.
"It's more advantageous for you to set up a company. It's not appropriate for you to always act alone."
Upon hearing this, Minerva couldn't help but curl her lips. "What's not appropriate? Wasn't I acting like this when I was abroad?"
"The environment abroad is different from here. Do you know what news I've received here?"
Quill's words reminded Minerva of what had happened in San Novia. She couldn't help curling her lips and asking, "Is someone going to sue me?"
Quill glanced at her with expression and said, "It seems like you are very aware of your own behavior."
"I know she wants to sue me and I'm not scared of her either." Minerva shook her head nonchalantly. "Besides, it was her fault."
"So you're just going to let her sue you?"
Minerva glanced at Quill. Suddenly, she smiled and said, "I'm just relying on you to back me up. That's why I'm a little willful. At worst, I won't be able to get any money out of this job and things fall apart."
