Minerva put down the plate in her hand heavily, her expression hardened.
"You've gone too far."
"If you still don't take your health seriously, I will go even further. Do you believe what I say?" Vera put down the plate in her hand as well, looking at Minerva seriously.
Vera wore a stern look on her face; one could tell that she was not joking.
"Let me tell you, Minerva, you can keep drawing when you are inspired, but it doesn't mean that you can lock yourself in the room and draw without eating for the whole day. Who do you think you are? You are simply too irresponsible to be a mother. Or do you think you don't need to rest? You have serious gastric problems, yet you don't take them seriously. If you pass on due to this illness, I will send Beanie away to others so don't ever regret it!"
Minerva was at a loss for words.
Vera had totally crossed the line.
But... Minerva wasn't mad with her.
She even thought that Vera was right.
She couldn't bear the thought of Beanie lying at her bedside pitifully, waiting for her the night before.
Hence, she remained silent. Instead, she picked up her plate and cutleries again and ate quietly.
Seeing her in such a manner, Vera couldn't resist sneering, "You're at fault, aren't you? I'll see if you dare to repeat such an act in the future!"
Minerva smiled, "Vera, it's all my fault, okay? Can you take away your food? I can't bear watching it."
"Humph, I originally wanted to provoke you more but I will spare you this time, seeing that you are in such a pitiful state."
After that, Vera reached out and removed the mouthwatering fried food from the table.
When they were done, they came out of the hospital together.
"Is one night of hospitalization sufficient for you? Won't you take this opportunity to stay for a couple of days?" Vera asked as they walked.
Minerva shook her head, "No, I still have some matters to attend to."
Nash drove Vera to the hospital earlier on and he was still waiting outside for them. The two called out to Nash when they saw him and got into the car together.
Minerva asked in a deep voice when something came into her mind after they got in the car.
"How much property do I have?"
Vera was stunned by Minerva. She thought she must have heard it wrongly.
After a while, she stretched out her hand, digging into her ears.
"What did you just say?"
Minerva turned to look at her, "How much property
do I have?"
Vera was exasperated, she thought Minerva had asked a funny question. "Are you kidding me? You don't have much."
Hearing this, Minerva furrowed her brows.
"Well, you still have some savings, but don't you want to buy a house near the school? You might not be able to afford a house in that area. Our company has the money, but those are the company's funds. Is it..."
"No way." Before Vera could finish, she was interrupted by Minerva. "We cannot utilize the company's funds."
"What's wrong with you? I think your money should be enough to buy a house. Why do you ask about this all of the sudden?"
Minerva glanced at Vera and suddenly threw a bomb.
"I'm going to terminate the contract."
"What?" Vera thought she had misheard her. "Terminate... the contract? What do you mean? Do you want to terminate the contract with Maddox?"
"Yeah," Minerva took out her phone. "That's why I have to calculate how much we'll have to compensate if we terminate the contract."
