Chapter 490


    Since she did such a thing, it showed that she was that particr kind of person.


    "No, I can''t reach her now. I am afraid that she will do something even worse to you. You''d better


    not stay alone by yourself these days."


    Helen''s words reminded her. Minerva couldn''t help but turn her head and look at the empty room.


    "I don''t think so?"


    She had just moved here, so Janice surely would not have known.


    However, Helen was right. She was still a threat to her.


    "It''s my fault that this incident happened. I wanted to ask for leave to stay with you, but that b*stard,


    Jackson, didn''t allow it. I''m so sorry, Minerva. You really have to be careful. I really think that she


    might go further to harm you."


    "Don''t worry, I will."


    Helen told her about a thousand times to stay with someone else and not stay alone.


    After hanging up the phone, Minerva put her phone aside.


    Then she continued to dry her hair. It was still in the daytime so there was nothing to be afraid of.


    However, what Helen had just said did scare her a little.


    Since Janice could not seed at her attempt of pouring sulfuric acid at her, then wouldn''t she


    be even more vicious the next time she wanted to harm her?


    Upon thinking up to this point, Minerva instantly felt ayer of cold sweat on her back.


    A spear in the open was easy to dodge, but an arrow in the dark was difficult to defend against.


    This urately described Janice. She seemed harmless on the surface, but who knew that she


    could directly pour sulfuric acid on another without hesitation?


    If she didn''t get arrested, then Minerva and her loved ones would definitely be in danger.


    Thinking of this, Minerva''s heart was stuck in her throat. When she dried her hair andid down to


    sleep, her heart was also in a mess. In the end, she fell asleep in a daze. She dreamt that Janice


    had suddenly appeared in her house and then had walked into her room directly.


    Then, when she saw Minerva lying on the bed to rest, a strange smile appeared on Janice''s face.


    She suddenly raised the broad knife in her hand and shed it at Minerva''s body.


    Minerva cried out in rm, "Ah!''1 Her body tumbled and fell to the bottom of the bed.


    With a loud bang, Minerva was directly thrown to the point of waking up.


    Minerva''s heart was beating frantically. When she lifted her head, she realized that the room was


    completely silent. There was nothing at all.


    There was no trace Janice, nor was there the knife she had held in her hand.


    Was it really just a dream?


    But why did it feel so real?


    Minerva stretched out her hand and wiped the cold sweat off her forehead. Then, she slowly got up


    from the floor and sat down on the bed. She picked up her phone and looked at the time. It was


    almost six in the evening.


    Had she been sleeping for that long?


    Minerva was no longer sleepy. She got up and prepared to go downstairs. She still had to cook


    some food for Maddox to bring along to the hospital.


    Minerva had just changed into a new set of clothes, when she heard footsteps outside.


    All of her movements came to a standstill, as if the air was frozen around her. Minerva recalled the


    scene in her dream just now. She felt as if the blood in her whole body was frozen.


    She subconsciously grabbed her phone and put it in her pocket. After looking at it, she took out a


    bottle of pepper spray from her bag and held it in the palm of her hand.


    Originally, she was not afraid, but after hearing what Helen had said, she then had nightmares.


    Up till then, she still had a lingering fear in her heart.


    What if?


    The footsteps were getting closer and closer and Minerva didn''t dare to breathe. She bent over and


    hid


    behind the door.


    She heard that her heartbeat was getting more and more rapid. This was the first time Minerva had


    felt danger slowly approaching her.


    Crack...


    "Beanie, I''ve told you that your mommy is taking a rest. Can''t you go up to herter?"


    As soon as the door was opened, a familiar voice was heard.


    When Minerva heard the voice, the tight string that had strained her heart just nowpletely


    copsed in an instant. It turned out that Vera and Beanie had returned. She had thought that...


    "Eh? Where is she? Shouldn''t she still be sleeping? Could it be that she had left ahead of


    schedule?" Vera''s voice was filled with confusion.


    On the other hand, Minerva sat there with her weak legs. It was a long while before she regained


    her senses. She stood up and waved at them with a weak smile, then she said, "I''m here."


    "Mommy!" When Beanie saw her, he ran towards her quickly.


    However, Vera noticed that her face was pale and that her forehead was covered with cold sweat.


    "What''s going on?"


    Minerva stood up with a solemn face. She did not hold Beanie in her arms. Her mind was filled with


    the dream just now. She felt that this ce was too dangerous and she could not let Vera and


    Beanie live here anymore.


    What if Janice really found this ce?


    Thinking of this, Minerva got up and pulled Beanie to the other side, and then walked towards Vera.


    "Come with me."


    Vera''s face was nk. She did not know what had happened at all. However, she could tell that


    Minerva''s face was pale. Hence, Vera quickly followed her.


    "What''s the matter?"


    "The two of you shouldn''t live here in the next few days. You should bring Beanie back to the


    Hanover family''s house today."


    Hearing this, Vera looked at her with a puzzled face and asked, "Why are you suddenly asking me


    to take Beanie home? And why is your face so pale? What happened?"

    Minerva didn''t tell her the details. She was afraid that Vera would be frightened as well, so she said


    softly, "I don''t know the details now but I''m worried that it''s not safe here. If something happens, I''m


    afraid that you and Beanie will not be able to deal with it alone so it''s better for you two to go back to


    the Hanover family house first. It won''t be toote to move back after we know that all this is over."


    Hearing this, Vera finally understood her concerns. "I see what you are trying to say. Okay, I''ll take


    Beanie back to the Hanover house then."


    "You shouldn''t wait any longer. You guys should leave now before it gets dark."


    Vera asked, "Why are you in such a hurry? Then what about you?”


    "I still have some stuff to do and then I''ll go to the hospital."


    "Are you okay alone?"


    "I should be fine for the time being. Just take Beanie away first and tell him that I have to go back to


    deal with something in thepany, so..."


    "Mommy, you''re lying to me!"


    Before Minerva could finish her sentence, a childish voice came from behind the door.


    Minerva turned around and discovered that the little fellow had opened the door a while ago. He


    was standing by the door with his arms crossed as he stared at Minerva.


    "Beanie."


    Hearing these words from Beanie, as a mother, she suddenly felt a little embarrassed. "I''m sorry,


    Beanie.


    I didn''t mean to lie to you on purpose."


    After that, she squatted down and waved at Beanie, "Come here."


    Although Beanie was angry, he still walked towards her step by step with his short legs.


    "Bad Mommy!" He reached out his little hand and pretended to hammer Minerva''s shoulder.


    "Yes, it''s my fault. I won''t be able to protect you for the time being so you can only go back to the


    Hanover house with Auntie Vera first. I still have to go to the hospital to take care of a patient first."
