In the evening, Master Collins sent Baldrick over, saying that he would like everyone to eat dinner at the Collins family home. Baldrick explained, "Last night was New Year's Eve, and everyone didn't get together to have a meal, so lets make up for it by eating together today."
Going to the Collins family's house for a meal?
Minerva was a little hesitant.
Baldrick smiled and explained softly, "The Old Master has already sent a car to pick up Miss Abigail."
A thought came to her mind. "Baldrick, do you mean that Auntie has already agreed?"
When she saw him nodding, she knew that she had no choice but to go. However, Vera was in such a drunken state, and she would definitely not be able to go. There must be someone left to take care of her.
Just then, Sam came out of the room, frowned and said, "There's something wrong with Vera."
Upon hearing his words, Minerva's expression changed. She walked over to Vera's room quickly and went over to her side.
"What's wrong?" Minerva asked.
Sam came over and said, "I thought she was drunk. I didn't expect that she kept on talking nonsense. Then, she began to break out in cold sweat. I tested the temperature on her forehead. It seems that she has a fever."
She had a fever...
"Why did she have a fever for no reason? And, what happened? Why did she get so drunk when she came back with you?"
Sam explained, "Young Madam, when I met her, she was walking alone on the street. She wore very little clothing and was crying. I felt that something was wrong, so I took her to a restaurant to eat. Later... She said that she wanted to drink some wine, and I couldn't stop her."
Minerva frowned after hearing his words. She had gone out with Quill earlier, but when Sam met her, she was alone. Moreover, according to his description, Quill must have done something, or his words had hurt Vera's heart.
How could this be...
When Minerva saw Vera like this, she also began to feel uncomfortable. Originally, she thought that this was a good chance for Vera to be alone with Quill. She didn't expect that it would cause such big harm to her.
Could it be that she had really forced this matter to happen?
Minerva did not say anything else when she thought of this. She only nodded at Sam, indicating that she knew about this matter.
He noticed the change in her expression and thought over and over again. He felt that she probably knew the process as well. After all, she and Vera were such good friends. After being together for so many years, how could she not know her thoughts?
It seemed that there was no need for him to say anything.
"Reduce her fever first. You've been taking care of her for a long time. Let me take care of her from now on."
Sam glanced at Vera. Without saying anything, he nodded and left the room.
After he left, Minerva began to cool Vera down physically. Along the way, she remembered that Baldrick was still waiting for her in the living room. She went out to explain, "I'm really sorry, Baldrick. I was going to go, but Vera has a fever now. If we go there, I'm afraid no one will take care of her. So... I won't go there today."
Baldrick didn't expect to be so unlucky, but he didn't say anything as he understood the situation.
He just looked at the others.
"Then what about Mr. Sebastian and Mr. Beanie?"
After thinking for a while, Minerva suddenly smiled and said, "Let Beanie and Maddox go."
Jarold, under the guise of inviting them to dinner, actually just wanted to see Beanie.
He looked as if he wanted to see his great-grandson before this, but unfortunately, he didn't get what he wanted in the end. When Jarold returned, he must have missed Beanie so much.
After all, he had just met his great-grandson the night before. He had just spoken a few words before he passed out.
As for her? If she could not go, he would definitely be happy.
