Juliette said, "That's right. Mr. Yardley is smart. He'll definitely be able to survive this."
However, these words didn't seem to have much effect on Minerva.
"Miss Minerva, have you eaten? You don't look good. Have a cup of warm water, and we will bring over some food for you."
She didn't have any appetite. Drinking water left her chest feeling uneasy.
Now, Minerva felt something stuck in her throat, and she couldn't spit it out nor swallow it down.
It was just stuck.
It was agonizing.
She pressed her pale lips together and kept silent.
Juliette looked at Quill and thought for a moment. Then she said, "Miss Minerva, even if you don't have the appetite, you should take care of yourself. Think about it. If you fall ill with no food or drink, where are you going to find the strength to find Mr. Yardley?"
What Juliette said piqued Minerva.
She suddenly raised her head and stared at her.
Juliette was right. If she fell sick, how was she going to look for Maddox?
No, she could not go on like this. She had to eat something to replenish her strength to look for him.
Thinking of this, Minerva lowered her head and quietly drank her water.
Quill had finally felt a little more relieved at the sight of her.
It was better this way...
They had to lie to Minerva. As long as she was healthy, they could slowly manage.
The place was not far. It took them three hours to get there.
When they got off the plane, Minerva almost lost her strength and fell. Fortunately, Juliette, who was next to her, quickly helped her up. Quill immediately went forward and said, "You're not feeling well. I'll carry you."
She was still in her wedding dress, and it attracted many people's attention along the way. Minerva tightened her dress and shook her head after taking a few deep breaths.
"There's no need for that. I'm just feeling a little light-headed from the flight. You don't have to worry about me."
She had to look for Maddox. She must not faint before finding HIM.
"Are you sure?" Quill looked at her and asked.
Minerva shook her head. "I'm fine."
Then, she carried the hem of her dress and walked forward. It was inconvenient for her to walk around as the wedding dress was custom-made, and the hem of the skirt was particularly long. When she found a less-crowded place, Minerva squatted down, pulled up the hem of her skirt, made a knot at her calf, and then carried it on.
This was much more convenient for her.
It was still a distance from the airport to where the accident occurred. Hence, they had to take a ride there and could only reach there in a little over an hour.
By the time Minerva and the others arrived, it was already evening.
Since this was the crash site, it was supposed to be blocked off. However, because this place was relatively remote, the official personnel did not seal it off.
When Quill arrived with Minerva and the others, they saw many official staff who were still running their search and rescue. After acknowledging Quill and the others arriving, one of the staff said, "These currents here are rapid. You'd better not get too close."
