Chapter 1513
Mabie lectured Vera again and again, making Vera feel bashful. That was because Vera was regretful then as well, for not insisting on bringing her children elsewhere back then. Every night, it was Quill who got up to change their diapers and make milk for the children.
By the time she realized what was going on, he had already completed the tasks.
"Mom, stop talking."
At that moment, she only had immense guilt in her heart. She had already planned to take the two children to sleep in another room only with her, and to take care of them at night. During the day, she would get her sleep, work part time and take care of the children.
She did not have to work for the time being anyways. Before the two children could move around freely by themselves, Vera felt that she had to take good care of them.
Besides, her parents would help her take care of the pasta restaurant business, so she wasn't without income either.
As for Quill, she really had to let him have a good rest. Once was enough. She couldn't let a similar incident happen again.
"You still think that I'm nagging, don't you? Although I'm nagging you, I'm doing it all for you and Quill. How about this? This time when we go back, I'll look after the two children with your dad. Anyway, they only need to drink formula now. Well take care of them. You can go and work at the restaurant while Quill can go back to work. You don't have to worry about the two children."
Vera called out to her mom discontentedly.
"What? Do you not trust your father and I to look after the children? I raised you on my own, and I have more experience in taking care of children than you do."
"It's not that I don't trust you and Dad. It's just that I'm a new mother and Quill is a new father. These two children are our treasures. We want to take care of them ourselves," Vera protested.
"Do you want to take care of them yourselves? You can do so if you have the ability to. You made so much money, but what's the use of that now that you body is messed up?" Mabie asked.
"If you want to take care of the children, you should focus on taking care of them meticulously. You want to take care of them, but you also want to work. You can't have your cake and eat it too. Your body is not made of iron. Anyway, it has been decided. I will take care of the children from now on, or you don't even think about going to work," she continued.NôvelDrama.Org (C) content.
Mabie's tone was very uncompromising.
When Quill woke up, he heard the two of them arguing.
In the end, Vera lowered her voice and said, "All right, Mom. You can take care of them if you want to. Quill is still unconscious. Please lower your voice and don't disturb him."
"Oh, now you know to feel sorry for Quill. Before this, he had to wake up in the middle of the night to make milk for the children and work during the day. Why did you not feel sorry for him back then?"
Mabie was rendered speechless by Vera's carelessness.
Quill moved his fingers and looked at the woman that looked petite standing next to the bed.
She was still wearing the clothes she wore the day before. Her hair was messy and there are black circles under her eyes. She looked worried and haggard.
It seemed that she had been staying there with him since his accident.
Quill closed his eyes again as his mother-in-law was there.
After a while, Mabie began to urge Vera, "All right, all right. Is it still not enough after staying here for one night? He won't wake up so soon. You should go home to wash up first, then take a break and come back at night."
Vera shook her head insistingly. "Mom, I'll stay here until he wakes up. I've already eaten something. I'm still energetic now. Can you stop nagging me?"
"Wicked girl, if it wasn't for the fact that you are my daughter, do you think I would nag you?"
"All right, Mom! I still need you to take care of the two children at home. Please take care of them for me. I'll be fine here, and it's not like I didn't sleep. Minerva took over for half of last night, and I slept for a few hours. If I'm sleepy, I'll just sleep here for a while. It won't be a problem."
Finally, Mabie left after Vera's repetitive persuasions. Vera took a breath tiredly.
Before she could turn around, she heard a hoarse voice behind her. "Thank you."
Her heart jolted. That voice was...
She quickly turned her head and happened to meet Quill's cold gaze.
"Are you awake? Are you not feeling well anywhere?" She rushed over.
She ran to the bedside and looked at him with eagerness and care. He noticed that there was a bandage wrapped around her leg, and when she came over, she was obviously limping.
Immediately, he frowned. "Are you injured?"
"You just woke up. Do you feel any pain? I'll call the doctor to come over so there won't be any problems."
Vera got up in a panic, but her wrist was grabbed by Quill.
"Quill?"
"I'm fine." His tone was particularly low. He looked at her leg and wanted to sit up, but she held his shoulders and pressed him back down.
"Don't get up. You just woke up. I'd better call a doctor to check on you. That's the safest option."
She was really worried about his safety.
He said helplessly, "Your concern is not needed. I'm fine now. Tell me, did you hurt your leg?"
She bit her lower lip and explained awkwardly, "I just accidentally sprained my ankle. It doesn't matter."
"Did you sprain it?" He sat up regardless of her obstruction. As a result, because of the excessive force, there was a dull pain in his head. He had to stop his movements and he dared not move forward.
"Are you all right?" "I'm fine." Quill sat still for a moment and then reached out to her. "Sit on the bed and let me see the injury on your foot."
Vera wanted to refuse him, but his
expression left no room for discussion. She could only sit
herself on the bed as she said, "Actually, accidentally sprained it when was running. Later, when you were unconscious, I already Mad a doctor treat it for me. As long as my foot is wrapped up for a few days, it will be all right."
She looked at him carefully as she spoke.
"Thus, you don't have to care about my injury. Your injury is more important now."
He grabbed her restless foot and whispered, "For me, nothing is more important than you."
After listening to his words, she felt
that her heart was hit hard by something, which made her feel limp and numb. Although she knew that it was not suitable to feel that way then, she still couldn't help herself.
After that, he examined the injury carefully for her and was not relieved until he was done with it.
"Did you run over as soon as you heard about me, and thus fell down?"
"You're right." She felt that he was incredible. He was not at the scene, but he could guess her
behavior and reaction correctly.
"Idiot." After she admitted it, he
reached out and knocked her on her
head, and it was really painful. She did not expect him to hit her so hard. It took her a long time to react. She covered the place where she had been hit and complained, "It hurts."
"Does it hurt?" He looked at her in amusement. "Your reflex is quite slow. Does it only hurt now?"
