Perfect Mysterious Husband (Maddox and Kimberly) novel Chapter 494

Janice Lowell?

The corridor was empty and there was no one in sight.

Minerva bit her lower lip and stared blankly at the back of Maddox's head.

Would he not believe her?

Just as she was deep in thought, Maddox entered the ward without a word. As he entered, he shut the door tightly behind him. Then, he pulled Minerva along with him as he walked in.

Minerva started to feel frustrated. What did he mean by not saying anything?

She wanted to shake off his hand but when she thought of the wound on his back, she had held back her anger and asked calmly, "What is it? You don't believe me, do you?"

Maddox glanced at her and laughed softly. "Why wouldn't I trust you? Even if I don't trust anyone else anymore, I would still believe whatever you say."

Then why didn't he meet her when she wanted to explain herself long ago?

The word 'liar' almost escaped her lips, but in the end, Minerva managed to hold back her anger.

She found that she was really good at being patient.

When she thought of this, Minerva turned around and stopped looking into Maddox's eyes. Instead, she said coldly, "Then why did you pull me in? If she's really here, I might be able to find her."

"And what are you going to do if you do find her?" Maddox retorted.

"What?" Minerva's eyes widened. She had not expected him to question her in that way.

"I'm asking you, what will you do after you find her? It's late at night; do you think she'll come here for no reason? Was the lesson from that day not clear enough? Or..." Maddox said word by word. "I blocked the acid for you that day so that you can be safe and sound. Is that why you can't foresee dangers at all? Do you feel that you can just appear in front of her at any time? Aren't you afraid that she will splash acid on you again?"

Maddox's tone grew colder as he spoke.

Minerva's eyes widened in disbelief. "What do you mean? Are you blaming me?"

Maddox did not agree nor disagree. He simply said nothing.

Minerva seemed to find it amusing. After a long while, she finally said, "Then why do you think things have turned out like this?"

There was no expression on his face and he remained silent.

Minerva fixed a look at him and said, "If it wasn't for you, I wouldn't have gotten involved with such a terrifying woman. You should have just gone on the blind date with her without trouble. Why did you have to involve me in this? If it wasn't because of you, Janice wouldn't have thought that I seduced you and then tried to harm me. Why are you throwing a tantrum at me now?"

"I don't even like her. Why should I date her?"

"If you don't like her then why have you gone on multiple dates with her? Maddox, are you kidding me?" Minerva was a little irritated and her words became somewhat irrational.

Perhaps because Maddox was angry, or maybe because he wanted to explain himself, he suddenly grabbed her wrist and said coldly, "Then do you not know why I went on several dates with her? If I remember correctly, you were there several times as well, right?"

Minerva did not know how to answer.

She was stunned for a long time before she shook off Maddox's hand.

"That's because I didn't know. If I knew you would be there, I definitely wouldn't have gone."

"Really?" Maddox sneered coldly. "Even if you didn't, you still went, and now you are still taking care of me here. Minerva, don't you think that things don't always go as you think?"

These words successfully caused Minerva's expression to change.

He was right. Things had indeed never gone on according to Minerva's expectations. They had even deviated from the path she had imagined and were heading in an unexpected direction.

It was terrifying to her.

Thinking of this, Minerva turned around and said coldly, "It's none of my business. No matter how things have developed, you went on dates with her and that's how it is. You just needed to continue dating her. I..."

Before she could finish her sentence, Maddox interrupted her harshly, "You are the one I like. How can I continue to date her in that case?"

In the bathroom.

Minerva dialed Vera's number.

However, Vera didn't answer it. This made Minerva panic. What was wrong? Why wasn't she answering her phone?

As a result, Minerva could only dial her phone number over and over again.

Finally, on the fifth call, the other party answered. Minerva almost cried out in surprise when she heard the familiar voice.

"What’s wrong with you? Why didn't you answer the phone until now? Did something happen?"

"Huh?" It seemed that Vera couldn't sense her nervousness and anxiety. "I didn't answer the phone just now because I was taking a shower. What's the matter?"

"Have you returned to the Hanover house?"

"Yeah, you told me to bring Beanie back here so we're here now." "Where's Beanie?"

"He's fallen asleep."

"Can you go check if he's safe or not?"

"Don't worry. I knew you would be concerned so Beanie came and slept in my room. Besides, there are so many guards in the Hanover house, Janice won't dare to come here to commit a crime. Beanie is very safe with me. Even if you don't believe me, you should at least believe your brother, shouldn't you?"

The last sentence comforted Minerva. She felt that Vera was right and nodded, "Well, then take good care of him. By the way... As for his school, just call in for a leave. I'm worried that if he is alone when he is at school, Janice will be able to harm him."

"It's a school right? Technically, it shouldn't be dangerous. It's a prestigious school, and strangers wouldn't be allowed to enter anyways."

"Is that so?" Minerva didn't know why but she didn't feel at ease at all.

In the end, she could only hang up the phone.
