Perfect Mysterious Husband (Maddox and Kimberly) novel Chapter 495

After hanging up the phone, Minerva came out of the bathroom and found that Maddox had returned to his place and was sitting down. When he saw her come out, his deep eyes fell on her face, staring at her.

Minerva was irritated by the searing heat of his gaze.

It seemed that the man really didn't know what he had done. Why did he have to go on a blind date with that woman?

Even if he had gone on the date, he should have gone nicely. Even if he was really together with that woman, Minerva would not object at all.

But why did he have to come and provoke her again?

Now with such a crazy person on the loose, she felt that danger was everywhere.

Everyone would be afraid of people like Janice who went to the extreme. She poured acid on her once. What's to say that she wouldn't hold a knife against her in the future?

Minerva didn't want to die and she didn't want to get hurt either. Even more so, she didn't want anyone around her to get hurt.

That was because in her mind, something like that would have never happened originally!

However, things had spun out of control.

Minerva raised her wrist to look at the time. She decided to chat seriously with Maddox.

She took the initiative to walk over to Maddox and then sat down in front of him.

"Maddox, let's talk."

It was rare for her to speak in such a benign tone. However, Maddox had a bad feeling about it. He pursed his lips and said unhappily, "If you're trying to push me to someone else again, then there's nothing much to talk about between us."

After that, he turned his head and back against Minerva.

Minerva said, "When have I ever said such things?"

"Then what do you want to talk to me about?"

"It's about you and Janice."

Maddox frowned and said, "You said you were not going to push me away."

Minerva said, "I just want to tell you that I am the target of her hatred. Although you are injured, I am still not, so she will continue to plot against me. I can be sure that the person I saw just now was her. She must have come to this hospital just now."

Hearing this, Maddox finally understood her words. "Since when have you become so afraid of death?"

Minerva's thoughts were interrupted by Maddox's words. She turned her head and looked at Maddox. There was no mockery in his eyes but his words were hurtful.

"It's not because I'm afraid of death. It's because..."

She was afraid that it would affect the people around her, especially Beanie.

He was the closest family member she had. It would be a terrible thing if Janice learned of his existence.

As such, she had to get Maddox to settle the matter with Janice.

"Because of?" Maddox continued to ask.

What was the reason?

She couldn't tell him the reason so Minerva simply turned her head away. "No reason. Just treat it as if I'm afraid of death. Also, I'm afraid of pain. I don't want anyone to pour acid on me anymore and I don't want to be stabbed either. It's as simple as that."

As soon as she finished speaking, Minerva felt Maddox move a little and then he held her hand.

Maddox wrapped her hand with his palm and said in a low voice, "Whether or not you're afraid of death, I won't let you get hurt."

"Maddox..."

"Haven't I already protected you with my body? Think about it. I will never let her hurt you again."

"Then how are you going to deal with her?" Minerva frowned. "The police are already

His wound was very serious and he still needed to undergo reconstructive surgery, otherwise...

However, the doctor said that even if he had reconstructive surgery, there would still be a long and ugly scar on his back in the future.

Minerva felt particularly guilty about that.

Scars were different from other things. They would remain with you as you age and would accompany you until you die.

"If you really feel sorry for me, you can stay by my side 24/7. Take it as your repayment for your sins."

Maddox's teasing voice came from behind. Minerva was stunned for a moment before she frowned and glared viciously at Maddox.

"What's wrong? You don't want to?" Maddox raised his eyebrows.

"The court will hold the trial in a few days. You've hired such a good lawyer. You are hoping for her punishment to be as heavy as possible, don't you?"

"So what if I do?" The warmth in Maddox's eyes had disappeared when she mentioned Janice. Instead, it was replaced by an endless coldness in his eyes. Even the smile on his lips carried a hint of viciousness. "If someone has any intentions to hurt the woman I love, then they'll have to pay."

The woman he loved...

Minerva was shocked by his words.

Realizing that her heart was beating faster, Minerva pretended that she had not heard these words. Instead, she asked, "She's your blind date and she's a beautiful and young lady. Do you really have the heart to do that?"

Maddox stared at her seriously then said, "Other than you, no one else is important to me."

Minerva said, "Then what about the person who introduced you to the blind date?"

As soon as she said this, Minerva saw that she had successfully stunned Maddox. She smiled faintly, turned her head and said, "It turned out that my guess was right. You don't like her, but you went on the blind date anyway. There could only be one reason why you still went. That is, you aren't able to refuse the person who asked you to go. Let

me guess, it was Dr. Abigail, the doctor I met before, right?"
