Of course, Minerva knew that she gave birth to Beanie. That was why she didn't want him to suffer with her.
If possible, she wanted him by her side immediately. She was lonely and needed warmth.
But... What would happen after he was by her side?
Should she let him watch her emotions breakdown everyday?
If that was the case, she would be too selfish.
Thinking of this, Minerva closed her eyes and shook her head.
"Vera, turn off the video and don't let him call again."
"Minerva!"
"Hang up!" Minerva's voice grew louder. She raised her head and looked straight into Beanie's eyes in the video. She gritted her teeth and said, "Beanie, listen to me. I don't allow you to call again. You have to study well. I'll pick you up after I find your daddy."
He continued to look at her with tears in his eyes.
"I don't want to. Mommy, please don't. I want to look for you now. I don't want Daddy anymore. I only want you."
Vera was still holding the phone, and Beanie's crying had echoed in her ear.
Minerva's face remained expressionless as she hung up the call and stuffed Vera's phone under her pillow.
"Minerva, you're going too far! He's your son!"
"So, that's the reason you let him call me? Vera, you know what's going on here. Do you want him to see me like this?"
Minerva stared at her with empty eyes. Vera stopped breathing for a moment and said, "I didn't want you to tell him anything. It's just that Beanie is very depressed. Aren't you his mother? He just wants to talk to you. Is there any problem?"
"It wouldn't usually be a problem, but not in this state. I don't want to see anyone now."
She didn't want Beanie to feel down. For him, it was cruel not to talk to him, but what could she say? If he knew what had happened, he would definitely want to know the entire story. How should she explain it to him then?
"If Maddox doesn't come back, are you going to keep doing this? Beanie is just a child. He doesn't understand adults' affairs. Do you understand?'
Minerva didn't want to talk to her anymore. She turned her face away in frustration and said with an ice-cold voice, "I know that. You can go."
"Minerva..." Vera refused to give up and called her name. She sat at the edge of the bed and didn't want to leave.
"Enough, I want to be alone for a moment."
Seeing that Vera was still sitting at the edge of the bed and refusing to leave, Minerva had no choice but to lie down and cover herself with the blanket. She no longer paid any attention to Vera.
