The room was silent for a long time. Kimberly did not hear Quill speak again.

"Mr. Hanover?" She called tentatively.

Didn't he say that he had a question for her? In fact, Kimberly had already noticed it. The last time Quill asked her to go to the restaurant near the hospital, he looked indecisive. Therefore, she felt he indeed had a question wanted to ask her.

However, that time, he didn't ask her anything. This time... he was still hesitant. What was wrong with him?

"Why can't you just tell me? Is it because... it's a very private question?" She asked.

Quill nodded slightly.

Kimberly was astonished. "Really? Does it have something to do with my body?" She thought.

Thinking of this, Kimberly blushed and she was embarrassed.

"In fact, even if I don't ask this question, I can be sure you are my sister, but since you are worrying..." Looking at her red face, Quill suddenly felt that it was not bad to tease her. Thus, he slightly lifted the corner of her mouth and whispered, "If you're really curious, I can also tell you the truth. But... are you sure you want to know?"

Kimberly didn't know how to respond.

"Okay, then I'll tell you now," Quill said. "Wait a minute!" Kimberly suddenly interrupted him and pursed her lips awkwardly. "Umm, I... I think it is not necessary. As long as you have confirmed it." Seeing that he didn't ask it after a long while, Kimberly felt that even if she insisted on knowing it, he would probably not be able to say it out loud. Moreover, if the question was really so private, it would be embarrassing for both of them if he asked it.

Forget it.

It was the Hanover family in North City. It was not a bad thing to have such a family to back her up. In addition, she looked so similar to the woman in the photo, so it could not be wrong.

"So when will you... tell Sylvia about this?" She asked again.

Quill's eyes became a bit cold when she mentioned Sylvia. "I'll settle this matter once she is discharged from hospital..."

An evil thought suddenly emerged in Kimberly's heart.

Sylvia had just hooked up with Maddox, but she was about to lose her noble identity. A few days ago, she was still laughing at Kimberly's status and the fact that she was carrying an illegitimate child. She even claimed she and Maddox were from the same league, but now, she was about to fall from that league. Was this... retribution?

Anyway, what Sylvia had done had made Kimberly unable to feel sorry for her.

Their friendship had broken up in a day. "I got it. Then I'll leave it to you," she said.

"Do you wish to see her?" Quill had heard of the disagreement between her and Sylvia. Although he did not know why the two of them would be in this situation, it was likely a serious matter. "No." Kimberly refused directly. "There's nothing more to talk about. We're done."

These words triggered a burst of silence. Kimberly suddenly thought of something. She looked at Quill and asked lightly, "Mr. Hanover, do you think... I've become complacent? After I knew the truth." Quill paused for a moment before he smiled, "Silly girl."

Kimberly was stunned.

"What did he call me?" She thought.

"Sylvia had deceived you for so many years. It's normal that you don't want to see her. Moreover, you are the young lady of the Hanover family from now on. Just go ahead and do whatever you want to do, be whatever you want to be. In the future, I'll..."

He paused for a while and then said slowly, "In the future, the whole Hanover family will have your back."

These words were sincere, and it would be a lie to say that she was not moved. Kimberly felt like she was about to tear up. At this time, the door rang and Vera came back.

Kimberly immediately stood up and said, "Sorry, I've got to go to the bathroom."

Then she got up and walked into the bathroom. Vera came in and she smiled and placed the sandwich and coffee in front of Quill. "Mr. Hanover, here is your coffee and sandwich, please enjoy." Quill took out his wallet and asked, "How much is it?"

"Oh, no. Don't mention it." Vera was surprised as she took a big step back.

Quill's face was cold and he wanted to give the money to her. Vera refused again and again.

"I was the one who ate your breakfast, so I'll apologize to you. If you really pay for this, it would really be a disaster for me. I would not dare to come eat with Kimberly in the future," Vera said. Upon hearing the last sentence, Quill finally gave up the idea of insisting to pay her the money.

Quill had always followed the principle of not being friends with others. He wouldn't owe anyone, and he wouldn't let anyone owe him. That was why he wanted to return the money to Vera. "Alright, if that's the case, thank you in advance," Quill said in a deep voice.

"It's fine, you're welcome..." Vera replied.

After Quill slowly finished eating the sandwich, Kimberly had not come out from the bathroom. Quill wiped his mouth and said, "I have a meeting. Please tell her that I'm leaving." "Okay, sure!" Vera said.

Vera watched him leave and closed the door.

Later, she came back to look for Kimberly. "Kimberly, where are you? Quill is gone, you can come out now."

Clap!

The door of the bathroom was loosened, and Kimberly opened the door and came out.

"Wow, you're really hiding here. What's the matter with you? Quill had been eating sandwiches here for so long, and you were hiding here the whole time?"

"It was just a few minutes, what's wrong with me going to the bathroom?" Kimberly had washed her face with cold water, but it could still be seen that her eyes were a little red.

Vera licked her lips and asked, "You're still sad, aren't you?"

"No." Kimberly turned around and went straight into the room. Vera quickly followed her. "Quill is really handsome. He is just like a noble and is really different from us. But seriously, Kimberly, I think your temperament is quite like his, especially when you're quiet..."

Upon hearing that, Kimberly stopped and turned back. "Do I... resemble him?"

Vera nodded and said, "Just now I just said it casually, but now if I think about it, the both of you have the same look. Your eyebrows, your lips... and your expressions."

Kimberly paused for a moment before she said, "That's enough. I give you an inch and you'll take a mile?"

Vera smiled and leaned forward to hold her arm and shook it. "Hey, I'm serious."

"I can't stand you. Let go of me, I'm going to change my clothes," Kimberly said.

Vera let go of her and asked, "Are you going to stay in the hotel for a long time? Would you like to move to my home?"

"No thanks. It's good to stay here. Besides, the room's already paid for," Kimberly answered.

"Was it Quill?" Vera asked.

Kimberly kept quiet.

"And those things in this room, including breakfast in the morning, the servant... everything was from Quill?" Vera added. Kimberly turned her head and looked at Vera.

"Did you misunderstand something again?" Kimberly asked.
