Chapter 493


    Turning around, Minerva scooped a bowl of in soup and ced it in front of him.


    "Your dinner."


    Maddox had already been waiting for a long time on an empty stomach, and seeing that there was


    only a bowl of in soup, he was a little upset. "That''s it?"


    Minerva gave a fake smile. "What do you expect? You''re seriously injured now, so you can only eat


    in food like this. It''s good enough that you even get to have soup."


    Maddox could not help but frown when he heard that. He said, "You brought more than just in


    soupst night."


    "Yesterday was yesterday, and today is today. They are two separate days and should not be


    compared." After saying this, Minerva sat down in a chair next to him. She seemed displeased.


    Maddox nced at her and then at the in soup in his bowl. Then, he smiled helplessly in his


    heart.


    It seemed that this woman had really only given him in soup.


    "Did you make the soup yourself?" He asked.


    Minerva snorted and said, "No, I bought it on the streets."


    How could that be possible? Maddox realized that the taste and color of the soup in front of him


    were clearly not the same with the ones on the roadside.


    This woman was deliberately trying to be stubborn with him.


    Why was that so?


    Was it because of the kiss?


    A smile yed on Maddox''s lips. He held the bowl of soup in one hand and brought it to his mouth.


    Even though it was in soup, he could still taste the warmth.


    At least, this woman had cooked specially for him, and had even delivered it to him personally.


    Her heart and actions were enough for him.


    Minerva sat beside him. When she saw that Maddox had finished the soup till the veryst drop,


    without saying a word, she started to ponder on life.


    If it was her, she wouldn''t have been able to just have in soup by itself. She would need to have it


    with other dishes to help her finish.


    For example, some small dishes would do. However, Maddox had...


    Maddox was already thin and with his injury this time, it made him look even thinner. But then, she


    had him only have the soup.


    He didn''t even say anything and just finished the soup quickly. Suddenly, Minerva felt that she had


    gone too far.


    He had gotten hurt because of her!


    Thinking of this, Minerva coughed lightly and stood up. "Do you want fruits? I bought some just


    now."


    She bought some fruits in the supermarket.


    "Right now?" Maddox narrowed his eyes. It was only then that she realized that he had just finished


    his soup. It was indeed not a suitable time now. In addition, the fruits were still cold and it would be


    best if he ate them during the day instead.


    She looked away in annoyance and did not speak to Maddox again.


    The ward fell into a quiet and strange silence again. Minerva didn''t know what to talk to him about


    so Maddox justid there quietly.


    She looked back at him and found that Maddox, who used to be tall and mighty, now seemed like a


    child who looked very pitiful.


    Minerva pursed her lips, withdrew her gaze, and closed her eyes.


    She couldn''t be soft-hearted and couldn''t feel sorry for him just because of his injury.


    It was all his voluntary actions, yes...


    That''s it.


    Minerva sat for a while and then went to close the door. After packing up, she found a small bed to


    lie down on and rest. She had thought that with the chair, it was fine if he justid there for the night.


    She only needed to apany him through the night then she could leave early the next morning.


    However, not long after sheid down, she heard Maddox''s breathing.


    "Stupid woman."


    Minerva stayed quiet.


    Who was he calling a stupid woman?


    "Aren''t you going to sleep with me tonight?" Maddox asked again.


    Minerva turned her head and looked towards Maddox''s direction. "What? Who''s sleeping with you?"


    "You..." Seeing her gaze on him, his lips bent upwards. "Didn''t you lend me your legst night?


    Tonight..."


    "Don''t even think about it. My legs were numb for a day and I almost couldn''t even walk. Just


    because you''ve injured your back, do you really want me to injure myself too?" Minerva asked


    quickly.


    The smile in Maddox''s eyes did not fade away. "What''s wrong? I just used your leg as a pillow. It''s


    just numb for a while. What''s the big deal?"

    "I don''t want to. I want to sleep here today," Minerva said as she pointed at the small bed and then


    at the cushion in front of him. "Besides, you''ve already found someone to prepare this for you. It''s


    much more convenient than using my leg."


    Maddox looked at the chair in front of him and suddenly felt annoyed.


    However, thinking about it carefully, it was good enough that she was willing toe here to


    apany him. Why did he still ask for so much?


    Besides, she did feel numb in her legs the previous night, so he should just let her have a good rest


    instead.


    The ward went quiet again.


    Minerva saw that he didn''t say a word and thought that he must have acquiesced, so sheid down


    and


    closed her eyes.


    Probably because she had slept too much during the day, she didn''t feel a tad bit sleepy. She was


    particrly clear-headed, and the more sober she was, the more she thought of the nightmare she


    had in the afternoon.


    Minerva turned over and looked in the direction of the ward door.


    The next second, she suddenly froze.


    Because there was a person standing at the door of the ward.


    And that person...


    As the two pairs of eyes met mid-air, Minerva felt a chill run down her entire body.


    Swish...


    After meeting her eyes, the person quickly disappeared from the door of the ward.


    Minerva''s entire body was as cold as ice as sheid there. She looked like a corpse. One second


    passed, then two, then three...


    Minerva suddenly turned over and sat up from the bed. After getting out of bed, she quickly walked


    towards the door.


    She had just pulled open the door of the ward when Maddox''s raised a question from behind her.


    "Where are you going?"


    Upon hearing his voice, Minerva turned around and found Maddox sitting there staring at her with a


    pair of gloomy eyes.


    Minerva asked, "Did you see that?"


    "What?" Maddow asked, his eyes full of confusion.


    "You didn''t see it?" Minerva frowned and ignored Maddox as she walked out. In the end, she saw


    that the corridor to the hospital was empty. There wasn''t a single soul in sight.


    Did she see wrongly?


    Otherwise, how could the person have left so quickly?


    But... Those pair of resentful eyes just now was obviously...


    Minerva thought about the dream from that afternoon again. An icy chill ran down her body.


    Was it her? Was it her? Was she now in the hospital?


    Thinking of this, Minerva wanted to go out again. Maddox''s voice sounded behind her again. "What


    on earth are you looking for?"


    His voice drew closer and as Minerva turned around, she found that Maddox had gotten out of bed


    and was walking towards her.


    Realizing that his wound would be affected if he walked, Minerva had no choice but to say, "Hurry


    up and sit back down. It''s none of your business."


    Maddox''s brows tightened because he noticed that her face was very pale. It was as if she had


    encountered something that she could not resolve.


    "What did you see?" Maddox stared into her eyes and asked seriously.


    Minerva did not answer.


    She was stunned for a moment and said slowly after a while, "Janice Lowell."


    Maddox''s eyes darkened when he heard Janice''s name. Then, he walked up to Minerva and pulled


    her into the ward. He walked out and looked around on his own.
