Chapter 491


    "Mommy, are you going to the hospital to take care of a patient? Why?" Beanie tilted his head and


    he looked dull.


    Minerva naturally wouldn''t lie in front of him after being exposed earlier.


    "Because that person had saved me from harm. If it wasn''t for that person, then the personying in


    the hospital now would be me. One has to be grateful for the kindness that has been done to them.


    He saved me, so I have to go to the hospital to take care of him. Do you understand what I mean?"


    Minerva exined patiently to him. Beanie''s eyes were like clean ss beads without any


    impurities.


    After hearing what Minerva had said, he nodded his head and said, "Oh, then I''ll go with you."


    Upon hearing this, Minerva''s expression changed. She blurted out, "No."


    Beanie was puzzled. "Why, Mommy? If that person is your lifesaverand since I''m your baby, I


    should also go to the hospital with you too!"


    Minerva stayed quiet.


    She was speechless so she could only find another excuse to fool him.


    "No, the hospital is not a ce where anyone can go. There are many other patients and also a lot


    of bacteria around. You are just a child and your immune system is still weak. If you go there, you


    will


    easily get sick."


    Beanie asked, "Really?"


    "Well, if you don''t believe me, then you can ask Aunt Vera.''1


    Vera nodded and said, "That''s true. The hospital is not a good ce at all. You can only go if you


    are sick, but if you are not, then you''d better not go. Besides, you are so young. After you go there,


    your mommy will have to take care of you too. How will she then have the time to take care of the


    actual patient? Beanie, if you really want to thank that person on behalf of your mommy, then you


    should wait until he is discharged from the hospital and treat him to a meal..."


    Speaking of this, Vera suddenly stopped. She was shocked to find that she had made an indiscreet


    remark. She looked at Minerva with embarrassment and then quickly changed the topic.


    "Well, it''s gettingte now. The sky is turning dark soon. Beanie,e with me now."


    Beanie said, "Oh okay then, Mommy... I''ll go back home with Auntie Vera first."


    "Sure." Minerva touched Beanie''s head and hugged his little body with a little reluctance to let him


    go. Then she said, "Have a good sleep at night and wait for me to take you to the amusement park


    after a few days."


    "Then Mommy, you have to keep your promise. Last time you said that you would take me to the


    amusement park on my birthday, but you still haven''t done it."


    Minerva stayed quiet.


    "Alright, let''s go now." Vera then carried Beanie up and held him in her arms. Then, they walked out


    of the door. She was afraid that Beanie would pester Minerva further.


    She still understood Minerva. She knew that Minerva was in a difficult situation so she tried her best


    to deal with everything else perfectly so Minerva wouldn''t have to worry further.


    After they left, Minerva quickly went into the kitchen to cook. The ingredients were already prepared


    by Vera so she only needed to cook them. When she finished everything, the sky outside was


    alreadypletely dark.


    Just as Minerva was about to leave with the thermos, her mobile phone rang.


    It was a call from Maddox.


    She frowned and wondered why this man would call her at this time. What does he want to do?


    She answered and said, "Hello?"


    "Are youing or not?"


    Minerva nced at the thermos in her hand and said angrily, "I was making you food. It takes time


    okay?"


    "Oh," When he heard that she was preparing food for him, his voice was full of joy, and then he


    whispered, "It''s getting dark and it''s not safe. I''ll ask Sam to go and pick you up. Where are you?"


    "Is Sam willing toe and pick me up?" Minerva thought about it and decided to give up the idea


    of going to the parking lot alone.


    After all, there was no one in the parking lot at this time and it was a little dark there too. It was


    possible that there might be some dangerous people lurking around there.


    However, she could not tell Maddox where she was staying. What would she do if he found out and


    later bumped into Beanie?


    For a moment, Minerva was a little hesitant to tell him her address.


    "Why are you staying silent?" Minerva snapped out of her daze only when the clear male voice


    spoke into the phone again.


    She thought for a while. There was arge supermarket nearby, so she could wait there instead.


    Thinking of this, Minerva said the name of the supermarket.


    "Are you in the supermarket?" Maddox who was at the other end of the phone asked as if he had


    sensed something.


    Minerva coughed as she tried to cover it up. "I''m just about to go to the supermarket to buy


    something. If he''sing from the hospital then he would arrive at just the right time, and time


    won''t be wasted."


    "Pfft." Maddox sneered. "This woman... Since when did she have such a good sense of time


    management?"


    "If you have so much to say, then don''te over to pick me up. I can just grab a taxi myself!"


    Minerva was a little angry as she said.


    "Oh, are you really getting annoyed just because of one more question? Then why not just save the


    trip and leave me here all alone in the hospital?"


    Minerva was rendered speechless.


    She really couldn''t win the debate. He was indeed the patient at the moment; nothing was to be


    prioritized over that.


    Minerva remained silent for a long while. To her surprise, Maddox had given in. "He''ll arrive very


    soon. Just stay contactable."


    "I got it."


    After hanging up the phone, Minerva took the keys and she went out.


    It was quiet outside when she walked out of the door and she didn''t bump into anyone as she took


    the elevator. However, maybe it was because of the nightmare, but Minerva''s heart was still


    fluttering with fear.


    Before she arrived at the security gate, she had to walk through a small alley. Although there were


    street lights there, it was still quite dark.


    Minerva held her breath as she walked, while her beautiful eyes kept scanning her surroundings.


    She was afraid that someone would suddenly appear out of the darkness.


    Swish!


    The grass shook and Minerva was so frightened that all the hairs on her body stood up. Then, she


    stood there firmly like she was frozen.


    She calmly looked at the grass that just moved.


    After a while, a stray cat came out of it with a small kitten in its mouth. When it saw Minerva, it


    retracted a few steps back alertly and hid back in the grass.


    Seeing this, Minerva''s heart was then rxed.


    It turned out to be a cat, but... looking at the cat, it seemed to be moving its nest for its own kitten?

    Minerva couldn''t help but walk over to it. The closer she got to him, the more she could hear the


    little kitten''s cry. Seeing her approach, the cat with the kitten in its mouth let out a scream of


    wariness, warning her with all her might.


    "Don''t be afraid, I mean no harm." Minerva stopped walking and she suddenly thought of


    something. She opened the thermos and took out something from the topyer.


    She had wanted to give the fish to Maddox, but at that moment... The cat was the lucky one to be


    savoring it instead.


    Minerva ced the te of fish in front of the cat and said, "This is for you..."


    The cat smelled the aroma and its eyes lit up. It nced at Minerva but still was afraid to step


    forward.


    Minerva looked around. The ce was quiet, so no one woulde to disturb. Hence, she pushed


    the te into a corner and let the bushes block it. Then, she stood up and left.
