Perfect Mysterious Husband novel Chapter 725

After a while, Quill raised his head again and spoke in a lukewarm tone.

"You've been working hard for the past few days."

Vera was somewhat flattered and shook her head. "Not at all. It's just... I want to see Minerva, is that okay?"

Although her Prince Charming was very important... close friends were more important than that.

To Vera, Minerva still came first.

"Let's go."

When Vera was taken to Minerva's ward, Juliette was taking care of her. When Juliette saw her coming, the expression on her face changed slightly. "Vera? Have you finished handling the affairs in Hidalgo?"

"Yes, everything has been dealt with. I heard that Minerva has a fever?"

They were afraid to wake Minerva, so they deliberately lowered their voices as they spoke. Juliette nodded.

"Yes, it's a high fever, and she's pregnant, so she can't be prescribed medication anyhow. The doctor recommended physically cooling her off."

At that, Vera couldn't help but exclaim, "Is she really pregnant?"

Juliette seemed to have caught something and squinted her eyes, glancing at her.

"Judging from your tone, did you already suspect beforehand that she's pregnant? What about her? Does she know?" At that point, Juliette couldn't hold back a frown.

If Minerva was to scurry all over the place even after knowing that she was pregnant, then the outcome... might really be quite terrible.

"It was just a hunch. I talked with Minerva at that time, and both of us were uncertain. She was still planning on getting checked out thoroughly after the wedding. I didn't expect..."

The two of them remained silent and they didn't continue the topic further.

A moment later, Vera stepped forward and took the towel from Juliette's hand. She said softly, "Let me do it. I used to take care of her when she was sick. I know some of her habits."

As long as it would help Minerva recover, Juliette would naturally accept. She quickly handed the towel to Vera.

It was Vera's turn to take care of her.

Minerva had been having a high fever all the while. It might be because of that that she started muttering to herself from time to time, but it was obvious that those were the ramblings of an unconscious person.

Vera could only comfort her gently and look after her.

Quill and the doctor came in several times.

It was only at midnight that Minerva's fever finally subsided, and her breathing gradually calmed down. Vera was standing by the bed, recalling the news she had seen before she came.

According to the news, the survivors who were saved on the first day were sent to the hospital.

However, after the thunderstorm, they could only find corpses and no living survivors.

The rescue team had gone out on the second day and they came back with only corpses.

However, according to Quill, Maddox was still nowhere to be found. That meant that he was not among the survivors rescued on the first day. Then... Where was his body?

It wasn't a simple feat for Maddox and Minerva to have gotten together. Why had fate broken them up this way?

At that thought, Vera could not suppress the stinging feeling in her eyes, and she burst into tears.

"Maddox... Come back..."

Just as she was about to start wailing, Minerva, who was quietly lying on the side, suddenly muttered something in her sleep. However, her voice was so soft that Vera had to lean over to hear what she was saying.

When she heard that Minerva was calling out Maddox's name, she feared up even more.

"Minerva, don't worry... Maddox would never leave you sad and alone. He will definitely come back."

The next day, after everyone had had their breakfast, Minerva woke up.
