Chapter 492
Later, she went to the supermarket and picked out some fruits. When she walked out, she saw
Sam''s car.
Seeing Sam wave at her, Minerva walked over.
Then, she got into the car and went to the hospital.
Along the way, Sam wanted to say something but he couldn''t say a word when he looked at the
things she had prepared.
It was only when they arrived at the hospital''s entrance and when she was about to leave, that Sam
could not help but stop her.
"Miss Hanover."

Upon hearing this, Minerva''s hands froze on the spot. She stayed silent for a moment, before she
slowly turned around.
"Go ahead. I noticed that you wanted to say something all along."
Hearing what she said, Sam''s face suddenly turned red. He licked his lips in embarrassment, but at
the thought of Young Master Yardley, he quickly spoke.
"Do you still love Young Master Yardley?"
Minerva was stunned by his question.
She had thought of millions of possibilities of what Sam would ask her, but she did not expect that
question from him.
Did she still love him?
"To be blunt, Young Master Yardley still wants me to call you... Young Madam..."
Minerva was speechless.
"So I want to ask on Young Master Yardley''s behalf, do you still love him?"
The air became silent. For a moment, there was absolute silence.
After a long while, Minerva slowly turned around. She stared at Sam.
"Sam Sorrento," She addressed him by his full name. "I still remember what you have done for me
previously. I know that you had defended me at that time and you really regarded me as the second
young madam of the Yardley family. However, five years have passed. I am no longer the young
madam to you, but merely a stranger."
Just like that, Minerva had dissected Sam''s thoughts. For a moment, he lowered his head
awkwardly.
"This is just human nature. It''s normal for you to think like this, but at the same time... Our feelings
are mutual."
Hearing this, Sam suddenly raised his head.
"The Maddox Yardley now is just a stranger to me."
"Then you..." Sam couldn''t believe it. He opened his mouth slightly and asked, "You mean that you
don''t like Young Master Yardley anymore?"
Minerva turned her head and gazed out the window.
"As time passes, there are many things that we don''t need to hold on to anymore."
Time really was a good medicine. Initially... She had really felt that she might not have been able to
get through it. Looking back, it was hard to believe that five years had just passed in the blink of an
eye.
And as for her... An overwhelming wave of emotion still flushed through her whenever she saw
Maddox.
However, it would no longer have to be like it used to be, like it had to be that man.
Thinking of this, Minerva smiled slightly.
"Do you think that I am still entangled with your Young Master Yardley? Sam, he saved me so I am
just doing my duty to take care of him, also because he is also my client. You can rest assured that
when he recovers and when our business deal isplete, I will naturally leave him and we will
remain strangers. Thus, you don''t have to worry that I will hurt Young Master Yardley again."
Hearing this, Sam finally understood Minerva''s meaning.
He gritted his teeth and said, "Do you know that whatever you do now will still hurt Young Master
Yardley anyway? From the day you first appeared in front of Young Master Yardley, he had already
been destined to be harmed by you."
Upon hearing this, Minerva was stunned. A momentter, she looked faintly at Sam.
"So what? Are you saying that... It is wrong for me to even exist?"
Sam did not know how to answer.
Minerva''s stare made him feel guilty so he could only look away and said in a low voice, "That''s not
what I meant." "Then what do you mean?" Minerva smiled faintly. Her gaze was devoid of warmth.
Before Sam could open his mouth, she went ahead and said, "Alright, actually, I know what you
mean, but your thoughts can''t change my current actions. What I have told you about my ns is
exactly what will happen. When I''m done with all this, I''ll stop all contact with him and you won''t
have to worry anymore. Thank you for driving me here today. I''ll head inside first."
Without waiting for Sam''s reply, Minerva pushed open the car door and exited the car.
She did not give Sam a chance to speak to her again.
Sam didn''t say anything else. He just wanted to know what Minerva was thinking. After all, it wasn''t
a good thing for the two to remain in contact with one another.
She was right. After so many years had passed, things between them should have already faded.
However, what about Young Master Yardley? Why was he still... so persistent?
He had insisted on not getting the divorce and he had been waiting for her for five years.
But she on the other hand, had changed long ago.
Minerva walked into the ward with a thermos in hand. Maddox was probably waiting for her, as he
was sat propped up against several pillows.
She had been absent for a day so she did not know who had prepared the chair for him. It seemed
as though the chair had been specially fitted for his proportions. He just sat there, leaning back
against his seat, and he appeared vulnerable.
Minerva felt the urge to touch him.
However, she set the thermos down on the table first and then looked at Maddox.
Upon hearing the sound, Maddox finally raised his head from under the pillows.
He did look better than he did during the day. Although his face was still pale, his eyes were
sparkling, as if a light shone when he looked at her.
"You''re here."
Minerva was shocked by the light in his eyes. She nodded gently and said, "Yes, how are you now?
Are you feeling better?"
Maddox did not say anything. He only waved his hand at her, gesturing for her toe closer.
Minerva didn''t know what he was trying to do. He gestured so she walked over to him. "What''s
wrong?"
As soon as she said that, Maddox grabbed her wrist and before she could even react, Maddow
pulled her face towards him and nted a kiss on her.
Minerva''s eyes widened in shock. For a long time, she couldn''t react to what had happened.
Was she being ambushed?
Maddox''s lips were soft and tender, with a little coldness attached. He kissed her briefly and
immediately released her, as though he was afraid that she would refuse him if he went further.
By the time Minerva came back to her senses, Maddox was already lying on the pillows.
"You!" Minerva was so angry that she bit down on her lower lip. She raised her hand, looking as if
she wanted to hit him.
However, Maddox pretended to look as if he had been wronged. "I am a patient."
Minerva was speechless.
"Didn''t you ask me if I feel better? If we kiss, I''ll recover faster."
Minerva sneered and said, "Really? Then don''t stay in the hospital. Why don''t you just leave the
hospital and recover by yourself at home?"
She said to him with some anger, but Maddox decided to y along with her words. "If you are
willing to be my specially-assigned caretaker, I will be willing to."
"Don''t even think about it," Minerva said as she rolled her eyes at him before standing up to leave.
She raised her hand to wipe her lips clean.
"Look, it''s you who isn''t not willing. It''s not my problem that I am not discharging myself from the
hospital," Maddox''s lips curled up looking like he had won the debate.
That scumbag.
Minerva secretly cursed at him in her heart. She then turned around and opened the thermos.
When she saw that there was only a single jar of in soup inside, she suddenly felt that it had
been the right decision to give the fish to those stray cats rather than to him.
