Chapter 1475
No, Vera wouldn't allow Quill to do so. Vera thought to herself.
Of course she wouldn't!
Vera was extremely certain about this. She was already very worried when Quill came to save her.
How could she allow Quill to save other women? Furthermore, he would end up endangering himself in the process. Hence, this made Vera feel even guiltier. She never expected so many things to happen while she was in a coma.
The girl she saw at Sam's house back then was smart and delicate. She looked like the perfect girl for Sam, and she would hate to be the cause of any arguments between them.
However, if that happened, then what was Vera to do?
"Don't overthink it."
Just as Vera's imagination ran wild, Minerva grabbed hold of her hand and said earnestly, "Everything happens for a reason. Sam has liked you since forever; we all know that. Because of that, he willingly rushed into the fire to save you. However, he failed to get over you before getting a new girlfriend, and that's on him. If they broke up because of it, then that's Sam's fault, not yours."
After all, Sam loved Vera on his own accord. She never thought that he would rush into the fire to save her as well.
Although Minerva's words were comforting, Vera was still rather upset. She smiled bitterly and said, "Now I understand why Yulia gave me her bank card."
Even if Yulia had nothing to do with Jasper's plans, she wouldn't be able to clear her name entirely as Jasper had did it all for Yulia.
Hence, it was partially Yulia's fault as she had indirectly caused Vera's misfortune.
That was why she felt guilty and ashamed.
It was the same exact feeling that Vera felt now.
Nothing in the world was ever black and white. Instead, it was all shades of grey.
There was a lot of struggle involved too, just like what Yulia and Vera experienced.
"Well, don't think too much about it. In short, you do what you should do. As for the rest, leave it to the people involved. They are all grown-ups and know very well what they want. You don't have to persuade them. It's useless."
"I got it."
After Minerva left, Vera stayed alone in her room for a long time. Finally, she picked up her phone and made a call.
Meanwhile, in an apartment building.
When Sam's cell phone rang, Olivia was sitting on the sofa and typing on a laptop.
When she heard his phone ring, she shouted, "Your phone is ringing!"
There was no response. Olivia whipped her head around to look and found that she was alone in the living room. Sam had gone to the bathroom. She reached out for the phone.
Olivia's hand paused when she saw the name on the screen.
Vera was calling. Wasn't this the person Sam loved? Olivia pondered.
She was calling Sam now? Olivia was sure that Sam would be overjoyed to see this.
Olivia felt rather depressed. However, her hand had unconsciously pressed the answer button as she was deliberating whether or not to pick up.
"Hello?"
"Hi."
"Who's on the line?"
Vera wasn't surprised to hear a female voice answer the phone, and she even heaved a sigh of relief. "You must be Sam's girlfriend, right? We met when I came over to invite him to my wedding."
"Mhmm, I know, your names were on the card."
"Sorry to bother you. I'm actually calling you guys to apologize."
Was Vera trying to apologize for Sam going to save her? Olivia wondered.
Olivia rolled her eyes and remained silent.
"We invited you to the wedding, but things didn't turn out as we had planned. Sorry to have wasted your time."
To be honest, Olivia had guessed why Vera had called the moment she saw the caller ID. She glanced towards the bathroom.
She had no idea how long Sam had been in there or when he would come out.
After all, Vera had called Sam. Should Olivia just hand the phone over to him? Olivia thought to herself.
Suddenly, Vera interrupted Olivia's thoughts as if she knew what Olivia was thinking.
"I'm sorry."
Olivia was stunned for a moment. "Are you apologizing to me?" she asked.
"That's right."
"Why are you apologizing to me? If it's because Sam went to save you, you don't have to say anything else. I don't blame him for trying to save you."
Olivia wasn't mad at Sam for that.
After all, she had known about his unresolved feelings for Vera when they got together. Olivia and Sam were in a relationship by accident, so she did not expect him to immediately forget the person he once loved.NôvelD(ram)a.ôrg owns this content.
If Sam could so easily forget someone, then Olivia might not have fallen for him.
Olivia wasn't mad that Sam desperately tried to save Vera, but she was mad that he got injured in the process. Furthermore, he tried to fight Vera's husband while he was injured.
Sam had ignored his own pain, and he neglected to think of Olivia's concern for him.
That was why Olivia was so angry at the time.
"I can guess what you're thinking. I'm sure you feel guilty, so let me be straight with you. There's no need for you to overthink. Sam and I are doing just fine. I knew about you from the moment we got together."
Vera was taken aback when she heard this. "You knew?" "Well, I know he used to like you."
To be frank, Olivia had known about Vera for a long time. Her relationship with Sam was originally one of convenience, and neither of them had expected to actually develop feelings for each other. Hence, Olivia knew that she shouldn't dwell on her mistakes.
Vera was suddenly at a loss for words. Olivia knew who she was when she went to deliver the invitation card, and yet Olivia still treated Vera so courteously.
"I did not expect you to say this."
"Feelings can't be controlled, so I
won't blame him for that. I'm sure you want to thank him as well, don't you? My advice is to just leave him alone t won't be too late to thank him once I've managed to replace you in his heart."
Olivia's tone was light and generous, and Vera's awkwardness and shame disappeared instantly. The both of them got to talking and realized that they had a lot in common. After that, they added each other on Facebook.
At first, Olivia wanted to delete the call record after she hung up the phone. However, she decided against it in the end.
