Chapter 481


    After Vera called the ambnce, she turned her head and saw that Janice was still standing there.


    She suddenly thought of something and she quickly called the police, reporting that someone there


    had deliberately used sulfuric acid to hurt people.


    After hanging up the phone, Vera red at Janice and yelled, "You are such a vicious woman. You


    could fight with words or actions but you prepared sulfuric acid? Are you cold blooded?"


    Janice was stunned knowing that she had hurt Maddox and she couldn''t react.


    "I have already called the police. When the policee, you can talk to them!"


    "Called the police..." Janice slowly regained her senses. "No, you can''t call the police... I can''t go to


    the police station, I can''t!" She was the daughter of the Lowell family. Her reputation had always


    been very good. If she was to get involved with the police, her reputation would be ruined.

    Janice sprang to her feet and stumbled to walk out. Vera went forward and grabbed her to stop her


    from escaping. "Where are you going? Do you think you could still run away?"


    "Let me go!" Janice was very anxious and struggled to escape. She couldn''t be caught by the


    police, she can''t lose her reputation. Janice was strong enough to break free very quickly.


    Vera wanted to chase after her, but she turned around instead as if she had thought of something,


    "Minerva, Janice has run away. What should we do? Should we ask someone to chase her back?"


    Minerva creased her brows as she heard what Vera told her. Was it important to chase her back at


    this time? The most important thing at that moment was to deal with Maddox''s wound.


    Minerva then replied coldly, "Don''t worry about her. Come in and help me."


    "Oh, okay." Vera reached out and wanted to push the door open, but it couldn''t be opened. "I can''t


    open the door. Please open the door lock."


    Minerva had been focusing on washing Maddox''s back with cold water. She was puzzled when she


    heard that. Did she lock the door when she came in just now? Why couldn''t she open it?


    Minerva raised her head and looked at the door. When she wanted to go over and look at the door


    lock, Maddox pushed against the door with his hand.


    "You..."


    "Don''t open it." Maddox''s voice was filled with the pain of suppressing it.


    Minerva frowned and said, "Why? I need an extra hand."


    Although he was in unbearable pain, Maddox still didn''t say a word and he was still staring at her.


    "Do you think other than you, I''d let any other woman see me like this?"


    Minverva was speechless.


    Minerva''s heart skipped a beat. She wanted to p him in the face to wake him up. "What is the


    situation now? You are still fussing over this. Is your life or your ego more important?"


    She was so angry that her eyes were a little red.


    Seeing her like that, Maddox bared the bone-piercing pain on his back. He stared at her and


    opened his thin lips.


    "You are important."


    Minerva''s heart jumped. "You..."


    How could this person still have the mood to talk about this at that point in time? Minerva was so


    angry that she red fiercely at him!


    There was a hint of coyness in her eyes when she saw Maddox''s gaze. He curled his pale lips and


    said, "Thank goodness I came. If that liquid was sshed on you, the consequences would be


    unimaginable."


    Minerva replied, "Can you shut up now? You should be more worried about your own injury now!"


    What''s wrong with this person? His back had already been severely injured, but he could still flirt


    with her!


    D*mn it! How annoying!


    Minerva ignored him and continued washing him while Vera was still outside. She then said, "You


    wait outside. I can handle this. When the ambnce arrives, we''ll go out together."


    "Alright then." Vera was always obedient to Minerva. Vera did what she was told to do and she went


    downstairs to wait for the ambnce.


    In the bathroom, there was only the sound of running water; the sound of their breathing was


    covered by the sound of water. Minerva had been standing behind Maddox and running water over


    him. She had no choice but to do this before the ambnce arrived.


    Her heart was trembling. Minerva only hoped that the ambnce would arrive soon.


    Maddox, on the other hand, was so badly injured that he didn''t say a word.


    She couldn''t bear it anymore.


    Finally, Minerva heard the sirens of the ambnce. The sound of rescue relieved her heavy heart a


    little.


    "The ambnce is here?" Minerva lifted her head, her eyes shining in relief.


    "Are you afraid?" Maddox, who had been silent all this while, suddenly asked.


    Minerva looked at the back of his head and asked, "What?"


    He turned around and faced her. Minerva''s expression changed, "Turn around. I''ll continue to rinse


    water on you."


    Maddox did not look very well. His lips were pale and his forehead was covered in cold sweat. It


    could be easily seen how much pain he was going through.


    Seeing him like this, Minerva would rather look at his wound.


    He didn''t say a word and he looked at himself motionlessly. "Are you afraid of me dying?"


    Minerva''s heart skipped a beat. She walked behind him and continued to spray cold water on his


    back while yelling, "Stop your nonsense. You won''t die with this kind of injury."


    "It looks like you''re not afraid anymore," Maddox chuckled softly.


    Minerva creased her brows with alertness. "What exactly do you mean?"


    "Nothing."


    Soon, the paramedics brought the stretcher upstairs and they went straight to the door of the toilet.


    Minerva heard them outside and quickly opened the door to send Maddox out for emergency first


    aid.


    After the simple first-aid treatment, Maddox got in the ambnce. He was injured so badly that


    Minerva couldn''t bear to leave him alone, so she followed him to get in the ambnce.


    After getting in the ambnce, Maddox held her hand tightly.


    Minerva tried to pull her hand back but Maddox held onto her even tighter; she didn''t even have a


    chance to pull her hand back.


    Minerva looked at the side of his face and she couldn''t stop the thoughts running in her head while


    looking at how pale he was.


    He was already badly injured; how could he still be so strong? He exerted so much strength. What if


    he hurt himself even more? Minerva''s heart softened when she thought of how he had risked his life


    to shield her earlier.


    "Never mind. If he wants to hold my hand, I''ll let him."


    She had nothing to lose anyway.


    Hence, Minerva gave up struggling and gently handed her small hand to him.


    Maddox held onto her tender hand; they were as soft as cotton candy. For the first time in so many


    years, he felt content.


    Even though the wound on his back was so deep that his bones could be seen... She was by his


    side.


    Maddox''s thin, pale lips curved up slightly. He felt rather happy instead.


    "Why are you still so happy being so badly injured?" After seeing his strange smile, the nurse


    couldn''t help but ask.


    Minerva immediately turned to look at Maddox, but she could only see his stone-cold expression.
