Chapter 495


    After hanging up the phone, Minerva came out of the bathroom and found that Maddox had


    returned to his ce and was sitting down. When he saw here out, his deep eyes fell on her


    face, staring at her.


    Minerva was irritated by the searing heat of his gaze.


    It seemed that the man really didn''t know what he had done. Why did he have to go on a blind date


    with that woman?


    Even if he had gone on the date, he should have gone nicely. Even if he was really together with


    that woman, Minerva would not object at all.


    But why did he have toe and provoke her again?


    Now with such a crazy person on the loose, she felt that danger was everywhere.


    Everyone would be afraid of people like Janice who went to the extreme. She poured acid on her


    once. What''s to say that she wouldn''t hold a knife against her in the future?

    Minerva didn''t want to die and she didn''t want to get hurt either. Even more so, she didn''t want


    anyone around her to get hurt.


    That was because in her mind, something like that would have never happened originally!


    However, things had spun out of control.


    Minerva raised her wrist to look at the time. She decided to chat seriously with Maddox.


    She took the initiative to walk over to Maddox and then sat down in front of him.


    "Maddox, let''s talk."


    It was rare for her to speak in such a benign tone. However, Maddox had a bad feeling about it. He


    pursed his lips and said unhappily, "If you''re trying to push me to someone else again, then there''s


    nothing much to talk about between us."


    After that, he turned his head and back against Minerva.


    Minerva said, "When have I ever said such things?"


    "Then what do you want to talk to me about?"


    "It''s about you and Janice."


    Maddox frowned and said, "You said you were not going to push me away."


    Minerva said, "I just want to tell you that I am the target of her hatred. Although you are injured, I am


    still not, so she will continue to plot against me. I can be sure that the person I saw just now was


    her. She must havee to this hospital just now."


    Hearing this, Maddox finally understood her words. "Since when have you be so afraid of


    death?"


    Minerva''s thoughts were interrupted by Maddox''s words. She turned her head and looked at


    Maddox. There was no mockery in his eyes but his words were hurtful.


    "It''s not because I''m afraid of death. It''s because..."


    She was afraid that it would affect the people around her, especially Beanie.


    He was the closest family member she had. It would be a terrible thing if Janice learned of his


    existence.


    As such, she had to get Maddox to settle the matter with Janice.


    "Because of?" Maddox continued to ask.


    What was the reason?


    She couldn''t tell him the reason so Minerva simply turned her head away. "No reason. Just treat it


    as if I''m afraid of death. Also, I''m afraid of pain. I don''t want anyone to pour acid on me anymore


    and I don''t want to be stabbed either. It''s as simple as that."


    As soon as she finished speaking, Minerva felt Maddox move a little and then he held her hand.


    Maddox wrapped her hand with his palm and said in a low voice, "Whether or not you''re afraid of


    death, I won''t let you get hurt."


    "Maddox..."


    "Haven''t I already protected you with my body? Think about it. I will never let her hurt you again."


    "Then how are you going to deal with her?" Minerva frowned. "The police are already


    looking for her, but now she''s still..."


    "Huh," Maddox chuckled. "Then I''ll assist the police in finding her."


    Upon hearing this, Minerva was finally relieved. As long as Maddox was willing to do it, then...


    Janice would definitely be captured.


    For everything else, it would have to wait until she was caught.


    As soon as Maddox took action, Janice was arrested quickly and brought by the police to the police


    station.


    It was said that when she was brought in, she had a knife on her.


    Upon hearing this news, Minerva felt a chill run down her spine.


    Janice really didn''t give up.


    Because Janice was arrested, the police had to check with Minerva and Maddox about what had


    happened at the scene, as well as getting someone to testify for the trial.


    Vera, who had been waiting for Janice to be caught, had already packed up the evidence. Once


    Janice was caught, she handed in the evidence directly.


    There were surveince camera footage in their lounge, which had recorded everything that


    happened there that day.


    This was the most explicit evidence. Vera also found those socialites who had caused trouble


    together that day to testify. Because the evidence was conclusive, Janice was directly detained.


    However, in order for her to be convicted, she had to be brought to court.


    Before Minerva could act, Maddox had already found her the bestwyer in North City.


    Judging from Maddox''s expression, he was hoping that Janice would be able to be sentenced to the


    heaviest punishment.


    Minerva didn''t object. If she still cared about Janice at a time like that, then there really was


    something wrong with her mind.


    After all, the sulfuric acid had indeed spilled on Maddox. How could Janice not be softhearted at


    that time? That was why... being soft-hearted to the enemy would just result in being cruel to one''s


    self.


    Janice was arrested.


    Minerva''s heart was finally at ease and Maddox''s injury was recovering bit by bit as time went by.


    His wound was very serious and he still needed to undergo reconstructive surgery, otherwise...


    However, the doctor said that even if he had reconstructive surgery, there would still be a long and


    ugly scar on his back in the future.


    Minerva felt particrly guilty about that.


    Scars were different from other things. They would remain with you as you age and would


    apany you until you die.


    "If you really feel sorry for me, you can stay by my side 24/7. Take it as your repayment for your


    sins."


    Maddox''s teasing voice came from behind. Minerva was stunned for a moment before she frowned


    and red viciously at Maddox.


    "What''s wrong? You don''t want to?" Maddox raised his eyebrows.


    "The court will hold the trial in a few days. You''ve hired such a goodwyer. You are hoping for her


    punishment to be as heavy as possible, don''t you?"


    "So what if I do?" The warmth in Maddox''s eyes had disappeared when she mentioned Janice.


    Instead, it was reced by an endless coldness in his eyes. Even the smile on his lips carried a hint


    of viciousness. "If someone has any intentions to hurt the woman I love, then they''ll have to pay."


    The woman he loved...


    Minerva was shocked by his words.


    Realizing that her heart was beating faster, Minerva pretended that she had not heard these words.


    Instead, she asked, "She''s your blind date and she''s a beautiful and youngdy. Do you really have


    the heart to do that?"


    Maddox stared at her seriously then said, "Other than you, no one else is important to me."


    Minerva said, "Then what about the person who introduced you to the blind date?"


    As soon as she said this, Minerva saw that she had sessfully stunned Maddox. She smiled


    faintly, turned her head and said, "It turned out that my guess was right. You don''t like her, but you


    went on the blind date anyway. There could only be one reason why you still went. That is, you


    aren''t able to refuse the person who asked you to go. Let


    me guess, it was Dr. Abigail, the doctor I met before, right?"
