Minerva already knew that Quill wouldn't tell her if he wasn't sure.
However... she was still swayed by considerations of gain and loss.
She always felt that all this was so unreal. As it had been a long time, yet they had not found the whereabouts of Maddox.
There have been news, but it made her felt unreal.
She was afraid that the news would be unreal.
Quill rarely saw Minerva in this state. She was obviously a mother, but at this moment, she was like a little girl, she stared at him with red eyes. Her face was full of shock as if even her soul was trembling.
He stretched out his hand and patted Minerva's head. The warmth from his palm was transmitted continuously to her.
Such a unique action was to comfort her.
"Don't worry."
Quill spoke and his voice was clear and gentle. "I won't do anything I'm not sure of." Upon hearing Quill's assurance, Minerva felt her heart began to ease. However, before seeing Maddox, her heart was still hanging in midair.
This feeling would only disappear after she saw him, touched him, knew that he was safe, and went back to her side.
"Sit down." Quill pulled her up and handed the menu to her. "You just got off work. You must be hungry. Let's eat something first."
Minerva shook her head. "I don't have an appetite."
"Even if you don't have an appetite, you also have to eat. We are going on the plane later, they don't have a plane meal for you. Unless you want to see him with an empty stomach?"
Minerva did not respond.
Juliette sat down next to her and smiled helplessly. "Even if Miss Minerva isn't hungry, don't let the baby in your stomach get hungry. It's already time for dinner, and it's about time for the baby to eat."
Minerva was still quiet.
Under the persuasion of the two of them, Minerva finally ordered some food and drink.
At first, she really didn't have much of an appetite. She felt that all her attention was on
Maddox.
However, after she put the food into her mouth, she actually felt that it tasted decent, perhaps because of her pregnancy.
It was still early from the time they get on the plane. Quill cut a piece of steak and said, "It's still early. Enjoy it slowly and take good care of yourself. Only then you have the energy to find him. By then..."
Quill didn't continue with the rest of his words, but obviously, his eyes darkened a little.
"What would happen?" Minerva took a bite of the food and suddenly thought of something. She stared at Quill.
"By the way, Secretary Sharpio told me on the phone that you had some doubts that I need to answer when I come. Now that I'm here... what kind of doubts do you have?"
Speaking of this, Juliette and Quill looked at each other. Juliette smiled and explained, "It's not the right time yet. Let's talk about it after we get off the plane."
So mysterious...
Minerva had a bad feeling. She frowned and couldn't eat anymore. She put down the fork
"Then you just tell me directly that this doubt is about Maddox, right?"
Juliette nodded.
Minerva suddenly became uneasy. "What happened to him?"
Juliette did not reply. Quill lowered his head and drank his coffee as well.
"Secretary Sharpio? Is he injured? Tell me, is he safe and sound?"
Juliette felt that if she doesn't say anything else, Minerva would really go crazy. The mood of the pregnant woman couldn't be fluctuating too much, so she could only say hurriedly, "Miss Minerva, don't worry. What we said doesn't refer to Young Master Yardley's safety. Young Master Yardley is in a good condition and safe."
Upon hearing that Maddox was safe, Minerva finally heaved a sigh of relief.
"As long as he's safe..."
