"Do you have a crush on me?"
Sam was stunned because of this simple sentence which consisted of only a few words.
He stood rooted to the ground and his eyes were filled with disbelief.
For a moment, he thought it was just a hallucination.
Otherwise, how could he hear Vera asking him, "Do you have a crush on me?"
No matter how he thought about it, he felt that she didn't seem to be someone who would ask such a question.
However, he had indeed heard it.
"That..." He said. He seemed to feel that his face was burning. His tone and eyes became even more flustered. "It's not what you think. There might be some misunderstanding," he said.
"Misunderstanding?" She asked. She blinked her eyes and then took a glance at that glass of water in front of her.
Sam did not say anything at that moment.
Did pouring a glass of water for her mean anything? Although he really liked her, he could not win her heart in the past. It was even more impossible for her to fall in love with him at that moment as there was such a huge scar on his face.
Besides, his scar looked somewhat terrifying.
"Alright," Vera replied. She shrugged her shoulders as if she didn't care about it and said, "Then you can just assume it as a misunderstanding. Go back to sleep."
At first, he thought that she would argue about it. However, he didn't expect that she would admit that she had misunderstood it. She then picked up the glass of water and started drinking.
For some reason, he started to feel heartache. Looking at her indifferent expression, he had a pressing urge to say something. "It is not a misunderstanding, I really have a crush on you," he pondered to himself.
However, as soon as he thought of the scar on his face, that idea disappeared instantly.
Both his hands were clenched into fists, then they loosened and clenched again. He pursed his thin lips, turned around, and left the kitchen in silence.
After finishing a glass of water and seeing him leave in silence, Vera could not help frowning.
"Is it my illusion? Why did he seem to be in a bad mood just now?
Was he speechless because of the question that I just asked?" She pondered to herself. She didn't mean to ask that. It was just that she seemed to have seen Quill when she looked at Sam just now.
That was why she had just blurted out that question.
When she thought about it at that moment, she felt that it was somehow inappropriate. Regardless of whether he had feelings for her or not, wouldn't her question make him feel awkward? How awkward would it be for them to meet in the future?
Thinking of this, she shook her head hard, finished up the remaining water in the glass, then picked up her blanket and returned to her room.
Vera, who had just returned to her room for a nap, did not notice that there were tons of missed calls as her handphone was on silent mode.
She slept soundly that night.
Minerva felt that she had slept for a long time. A lot of things had happened in her dream. When she woke up, she felt that she could still recall some of the memories.
However, as she opened her eyes, whatever happened in her dreams was swallowed up by reality little by little.
After she turned over and kept staring at the sunlight outside the window for a long while, she had already forgotten everything that she had dreamt of the night before.
After lying on her bed for a while, Minerva realized that she was the only one in the room. Vera had gone out after she woke up.
She rolled over and got up, then went out.
It was so quiet in the room and there was no one inside. Minerva called out tentatively, "Vera, Beanie?"
No one responded to her.
She went around to the front of Maddox's room. When she pushed it open, she realized that there was no one inside either.
