In fact, it wasn't that Vera's reflex was slow, but rather, she was just thinking about something else, so she reacted slightly slower.
She looked at Quill feeling wronged.
He froze for a moment looking at her expression, then suddenly sighed.
He didn't expect time to pass so fast. That little girl of his had already become the mother of two children, and he had also become a father.
He, who once thought that it was impossible for him to get married in his lifetime, had a family then.
Thinking of that, he reached out and pulled her into his arms. Then, he rubbed her forehead which was being pained from his knock earlier gently. "I'm sorry. I was a little anxious just now. Is it very painful?"
She didn't expect him to apologize to her and even rub the wound for her. She was a little surprised for a while, but she greedily stayed in his embrace.
She wanted to nestle in his arms, but was afraid that his body was still too weak, so she shook her head while still half leaning on him and said, "It's not painful. If it really hurts, how could I have reacted so slowly?"
She was afraid that he would blame himself, so she said it didn't hurt.
With the softness of his fingers, as he gently rubbed her forehead, the pain from earlier had long since disappeared.
After that, Vera thought of something again. She looked up at him and asked, "You just woke up. Do we really not need to call the doctor to check on you? After all, you have a concussion. Although it's just a slight one, I think you should still get checked."
No matter what, she was extremely worried.
Quill looked at her and thought that she would not be at ease if they did not have the doctor to come look at him, so he nodded in agreement. "Well, I'll have to trouble you to call the doctor over for me then."
"How is that a trouble?" She glared at him and pouted. "I am your wife. What are you talking about?"
Then, she got out of bed and went out to look for the doctor. On the way there, she recalled what he said about troubling her. He was always very polite, and she felt extremely uncomfortable about Later, the doctor came and checked Quill again. After making sure that he was fine, the doctor told him to take precautions and to stay in the hospital for observations for three days. If there was nothing else, he could be discharged from the hospital to recuperate at home.
"Thank you."
After the doctor left, Vera stood far away and did not go over.
Quill leaned against the pillow and looked at the girl, who had already become a mother, standing far away from him. He could not help feeling curious. "What's wrong? Why are you standing so far away? Did I offend you?"
Hearing that, she looked at him angrily and snorted.
"No, you talk to me so politely. How could you possibly have offended me?"
Was he being polite?
He thought for a moment and remembered that he had just told her that he would have to trouble her to get a doctor.
Could it be that she felt that his words were too polite, and so she got angry?
"Is it worthwhile for you to be angry?" He looked at her helplessly and smiled. "Hurry up and come over here."
She still stood there and just wouldn't walk over. After hearing his words, her expression became even more unpleasant.
"It's not a matter of just some words. It's just that... You don't seem to treat me as one of your own at all."
If they were intimate enough, why would he feel that he was troubling her?
Quill stopped talking. Vera thought that he was getting speechless. After waiting for a moment, she realized that he was trying to get out of bed, which shocked her.
She jumped up and quickly walked over to help him up.
"Didn't you hear what the doctor say to you just now? He asked you to rest in bed for now. How can you forget it what he just said? Do you even want to heal?"
"I haven't forgotten that." He
grabbed her pale wrist and pulled her into an embrace forcefully. She was so anxious and she wanted to get up, but he tightened his grip around her waist and trapped her in his arms. Their breaths were blown on each other.
"I just want to talk to you, but you were too far away from me. You are unwilling to come over, so I have to go there by myself."
When he said that, his voice was deep, which made Vera's heart thump. Her face unconsciously felt warm, and when she spoke, her confidence was weakened.
"Who said that I was unwilling to come over? I'm just..."
"Just what?" He moved closer and stared at her with narrowed eyes. "Is it because I'm too polite when I talk to you that you're angry?"
Vera bit her lower lip and wanted to explain, but she didn't know how.
She was initially a little annoyed, but she was not actually angry about it. She was just a little unhappy, but it was not a serious matter. Hence, when he wanted to get out of bed, she couldn't care about anything else and just immediately went over.
However, as Quill spoke intimidatingly to her while inching towards her, it seemed as if he wasn't going to let her go at all.
"Hmm?"Belongs to (N)ôvel/Drama.Org.
"All right, all right." She raised her
head and said bluntly, "I think the way you speak to me is too polite. We are husband and wife, and I have given birth to two of your children. Yesterday, rushed here once I found out that you were in trouble Even when I was injured, I stayed here to accompany you. However, I didn't do all these just for you to thank me. Instead, it's because I was worried about you, as a wife was concerned about her husband. Thus, I don't want what I did to burden you. I think it's fine to take what I did for granted. When you are sick or uncomfortable, you can ask me for help, and the same goes for me. We are husband and wife, aren't we? We look out for each other. You being so polite to me makes me worry about the future..."
Before she could say the following words, Quill pressed her lips with his index finger, leaving she no chance to say anything else.
"Don't worry about such things." He
sighed and seemed to be feeling inexplicably helpless. He rubbed the back of her head and said, "I'm not grateful to you for doing so much for
me, but feel bad for you. In addition, I don't mean to be talking
so politely to you, but it's just that I don't want you to do too much for me. I'm your husband, and also your children's father, so I should take care of you and the children. However, now, I am not fulfilling this responsibility. Instead, I had you run back and forth for me even when you are hurt."
The two of them had different thoughts, but they were actually both concerned about each other.
Listening to him, she felt that both of them had the same thoughts, and there was no need to continue arguing.
She held his hand and whispered, "I know you want to take care of us, but your body is not made of iron. Besides, I'm an adult and I can share the
burden."
He laughed as she looked at her.
"What are you laughing at?" She reached out to poke his jaw and said angrily, "Do you know how worried and scared I was when I found out something happened to you? Do you know that if something happened to you, I wouldn't be able to live on?"
Her eyes turned red as she said that, and she looked at him with tears in her eyes.
He felt like his heart was stabbed by something sharp when he saw her face, and he could not regain his focus for a while.
When he came back to his senses, he lowered his head and kissed her on the lips.
