Perfect Mysterious Husband (Maddox and Kimberly) novel Chapter 483

After some time, Minerva said softly, "You're injured and I'm not a doctor. What's the point of me being here."

"Who said that there's no point?" Maddox looked up and straight at her. He slightly opened his thin lips and said, "Come here."

Although he looked terrible, he looked much better than before. Minerva did not move forward. Instead, she stood on the spot and said softly, "If you have anything to say, you can say it directly. I can hear you from here."

"Really?" Maddox sneered, "But I can't. Come here."

Minerva said, "Don't be insatiably greedy!"

"Fine, then I'll move." After that, Maddox really wanted to get up and walk towards her.

He had just moved a little and Minerva's expression changed drastically. Without much thought, she walked over to him and pressed him back down onto the bed. "Don't mess around. The doctor has just treated your wounds, hasn't he? Why are you..."

Minerva's last words were drowned away by his embrace. He held Minerva in his embrace as she looked a little dazed. Her heartbeat seemed to have stopped for a moment. Every breath she took belonged to the man.

Despite... this being a hospital.

Minerva's eyelashes fluttered and she asked hesitatingly, "Wh-what are you doing?"

Maddox breathed greedily on her neck. His voice was muffled and he said, "I just wanted to confirm that you are safe and sound."

Minerva was speechless.

"I'm fine. Hurry up and let go of me," Minerva said as she tried to push him away.

"Mm..." Maddox groaned in pain and this successfully made Minerva stop struggling. She had seen his wounds with her own eyes for a long time. How could she not know how terrifying those wounds were?

Hence, when he shouted in pain this time, it must have been really painful. After all, she couldn't even stand just seeing it.

"You're fine but I'm not." There was a hint of grievance in Maddox's voice. All the heat that he exhaled lingered on Minerva's neck. He was especially sad and said, "Are you going to push me away even if it's just a hug?"

Minerva blinked her eyes. Why did she feel that this man was taking advantage of her by using his injuries?

She took a deep breath to calm herself down.

"How much longer do you want to hold me for?"

"It won't be long, just for a little while longer."

Deal!

Then she'll trust him this time! She'll let him hug her for a little while longer. After all, he was a patient, right? And plus, she was the reason he got hurt?

She just couldn't push him away, could she?

After all, being hugged for a little while longer would not kill her or cause her any harm anyways. Furthermore, it was not like Maddox had never hugged her before in the past. She would just treat it as... their past hugs.

However, she had underestimated Maddox's shamelessness. She had thought that he would be hugging her quietly. However, he had only been quiet for a short while before his arms wrapped around her waist began to become restless.

In the beginning, his hands merely moved a little and did not do anything else.

However, as he realized that Minerva didn't resist, he then became fearless. He slowly moved his hands upward and touched her back gently. Minerva frowned when she felt something wrong, then she raised her head and wanted to see what the hell Maddox was doing.

However, as soon as she raised her head, she saw a shadow in front of her.

Then, her lips turned soft.

A gush of warmth covered her lips.

Minerva's eyes widened. It was as if her heart had been electrocuted. She felt a little numb.

She looked at Maddox, who was right in front of her.

Perhaps it was because of the pain, so he didn't even open his eyes. His eyelashes casted a shadow under her eyes; even that felt fragile too.

However, what else could she do? She couldn't really just leave him there.

Minerva gritted her teeth and said, "I can take care of you but you can't behave like just now again."

"What happened just now? Which one are you referring to?" Maddox raised his brows. There was even a hint of contentment between his brows.

His manner was infuriating so Minerva ignored him and said icily, "I'll go back first then I'll come back to see you again later. You'll be fine on your own, right?"

"How long will that take?"

"Who knows?"

"Don't take too long. What if my wound hurts badly and I pass out?"

Minerva answered, "I'll be back in an hour."

Maddox finally curled his lips with satisfaction and said, "Okay."

When Minerva left, she looked at Maddox with some concern. Although he looked very happy, it disgusted her somehow. However, it could be seen from his pale lips and cold sweat on his forehead, that he was not in a good state.

Hence, she'd better go back and return as soon as possible.

When Minerva's figure slowly disappeared away from the ward, the terrible smile on Maddox's face slowly faded as he heard the sound of the footsteps fading away. Then, it was replaced by a look of pain.

He didn't know which position he should be in to avoid intensifying the pain in his back. It was impossible for him to lay down and it was impossible for him to lay face down either.

However... When he thought of the sweet taste at the corner of his lips earlier, Maddox felt that getting injured was actually a good thing.

After a moment, he closed his eyes and helplessly mocked himself.

"Maddox, I beg you to be a good person."
