Seeing she was in pain, Quill wanted to walk toward her, but she screamed at him not to.
As if his mere existence irritated Vera, he stopped in his tracks. "Alright, I won't cany closer, but you need to calm down." With that, Vera took a few deep breaths and eventually managed to compose herself.
However, the dull ache in her stomach still did not disappear completely. With a pale face, she moved toward the elevator while using the wall as support. Quill didn't follow her, worried she might pass out from agitation.
Vera didn't turn back to look either but went straight back home. Probably because she was too emotional earlier, she collapsed on the sofa.
The pain in her stomach slowly faded. Vera poured herself a glass of water then looked at her stomach, fearful. It had happened twice that day. Was there something wrong with the baby? At that thought, she becdistressed but also annoyed at her reaction.
How could she still be worried about her baby when things had led to this? If she was rational, she shouldn't have kept the baby. However, they weren't Quill's alone.
Her blood was running through the baby too. They couldn't choose their mother, and it would be unfair for the baby to be abandoned just because she had ended it all. Moreover, she truly anticipated the baby's arrival.
Vera felt that she had won the lottery when she found out she was pregnant. Even happier than when Quill asked her to be his girlfriend.
How miserable.
Vera closed her eyes and curled up on the sofa.

Vera dragged her luggage out the door and put on a coat and a hat when she saw Quill had left.
Mr. and Mrs. Zais were worried when they saw Vera like this.
"Why don't you let your father drive you to the train station?" "It's fine, Mom. I've called a taxi. It'll arrive soon." Nevertheless, Mabie was still worried. "I'll go with you then. I still don't like this idea." "Mom, I'm fine. I just want to take a trip to gather my thoughts, get sfresh air. I've been woefully busy these few years, so I haven't been able to go on a vacation alone. Just take this trip as mytime." "But..." Mabie wanted to say more, but Vera hugged her.
"Don't worry about me, okay? I promise I'll be back after I feel better. I'll be hin one piece, okay?" "Vivy..." "Alright now, she's already made up her mind, so stop bothering her lest she finds us annoying. She'd survived abroad for five years on her own before; I'm confident she'll be okay." Since David vouched for his daughter, Mabie did not say anything else.
The two of them saw Vera off.
After she got into the car, Vera turned on her phone and saw countless missed calls from Quill. She dismissed them and checked her Facebook Messenger.
There was a message from Juliette, probably asking what had happened.
Yulia had also sent her.
There was only one.
"You've heard it, haven't you? Don't overthink it. Although we had an engagement, he's yours now, after all. He'll shoulder the responsibility." Ha, he would shoulder the responsibility now that he was hers? Was Yulia trying to tell her Quill had no love for her but only responsibility? Previously, Vera felt her gaze on her was off as well as the things she told her. Who would've thought things were so complicated.
Everything becclear now that the mystery was solved.
Vera took out her old SIM card and replaced it with a new one. Then threw it away without a second thought. She did not contact Minerva, nor did she tell her about what had happened between her and Quill.
She was living a blissful life now. If she found out Vera and Quill had fallen out, she would definitely be worried and exhaust herself trying to fix things between them. Minerva finally had her happy ending after experiencing so many tribulations.
Vera didn't want her to be distressed because of her affairs.
She would tell Minerva about it once she felt better.
By then, she would be fine, even if she was worried.
Vera had bought a train ticket at random, the one with the longest traveling time. However, she failed to get the couchette but the regular seat.
It didn't matter. She wouldn't be able to fall asleep regardless.
Despite being in the middle of the night, there were tons of people in the train station. Swere hugging departing passengers, swere traveling together, and there were a lot of solo travelers too.
Vera was one of them. She waited in the hall for a while before passing the gates.
After that, she found her seat and sat down.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmCompared to a plane, the train was much noisier A lot of passengers had children with them who wouldn't stop crying, and several people were talking Joudly on their phones. The noise gave Vera a headache, so she put on her earphones and played smusic to calm herself down.
However, the peace did not last as a woman with a child sat next to her. The kid would not shut up, and he would even cry loudly.
Vera couldn't help glancing at the child.
For sreason, the child, Hank, stopped crying after taking a look at her. However, he decided t to reach out for her earphones instead. Vera subconsciously blocked him. The woman, Dahlia, glanced at Vera and smiled. "Oh, are you alone?" Out of courtesy, Vera nodded faintly and said yes.
Nevertheless, the child kept reaching out for her earphones. Vera them harshly snatched them back to avoid En? being ruined. Seeing that, Hank burst into tears and threw himself into his grandmother's arms as he pointed at Vera's earphones.
"I want it! I want it!"
Dahlia looked at Vera and her headphones and smiled once again. "Miss, my grandson is interested in your earphones. Can you let him play with it?" Vera refused without a second thought, "Sorry, I'm using them." Taken aback, Dahlia didn't expect Vera to refuse her so bluntly, so her expression becgloomy.
Meanwhile, Vera had already switched to another song.
How could they be so bold as to ask for a stranger's belongings? How crass.
Play with her earphones? It wasn't his toy.
Hank cried, not getting what he wanted and Dahlia becfrustrated from it. So she slapped child on the cheek and scolded, the "Stop crying! Why do you have to get your grubby hands on everything? Can't you take no for an answer?" X Like RICH WOMEN? These women desperately want a mature men! JOIN NOW *Waming* these rich women will persue you.
