Chapter 510
Why did shee back?
In Minerva''s impression, it was not the first time someone had asked her that question.
It seemed that many people would ask her such a question after knowing what had happened in the
past.
Why did she want toe back?
This was where Minerva grew up. She left five years ago and changed both her first name and
family name.
Now that she felt like she could face all of this, she wanted toe back. Was there anything wrong
with that?
Minerva silently looked up at Janice on the opposite side of the bars. "Does my return have
anything to do with you?"
Why did so many people want to ask her about it? She wanted toe back, so she came back.
"Did you do it for him?" Janice bit her lower lip and asked reluctantly. "You are so cold to him. You
didn''te back because of him, right?"
Minerva''s lips moved. "What does this have to
do with you?"
"Of course it does," Janice was still not satisfied. "If you don''t like him, I may still have a chance, but
if you came back for him, then I really don''t have any chance at all."
Minerva remained silent.
Minerva really admired her. After doing those things, she was still thinking of Maddox. She said with
a smile, "Your mother said that you had repented and wanted to apologize sincerely to me? Is this
your regret?"
"My regret is different from my love for him. It''s my fault for sshing you with acid, but I was under
the impression that you really snatched him from me, so I did an unforgivable thing to you. I regret it
sincerely.
I want to apologize to you, but..."
"But you still don''t want to give up on him and think you still have a chance?"
Janice''s worries were exposed and she did not deny it. She just lowered her eyes and her head.
"I really like him. I know that you are his ex-wife, but if you have no feelings for him, you have to
give others a chance, don''t you? This matter is my fault. I sincerely regret it and I apologize to you.
I''m sorry!"
As she said this, Janice stood up and stared
at Minerva seriously. Then, she bowed deeply at the waist and apologized to her.
Minerva was quite surprised. She had thought that it would be very difficult for this person to
apologize but she did not expect her attitude to be so good. Was it because she knew the truth that
she changed so quickly?
How did this person grow up?
This matter had originally been done for Auntie Stark''s sake. Now that Janice was willing to
apologize like this and sincerely reflect on herself, it was also good for Minerva.
At least, this matter would not make things difficult for her.
"You won''t target me again after we get out of here, right?" Minerva asked.
Upon hearing this, Janice was stunned for a moment and then shook her head.
"Although I hate you, I''m not an unreasonable person. I thought you did it on purpose, so I wanted
to teach you a lesson. The acid concentration was not very high either. It was diluted. Otherwise..."
Upon hearing this, Minerva narrowed her eyes. "You still think that you''ve done a good deed by
diluting the acid?"
Janice curled her lips and said, "No, I just
checked and said that the diluted acid was not so horrible, so..."
Minerva was speechless.
Minerva really didn''t know what else to say to her. She closed her eyes. "Even though I''ve forgiven
you, you''ve still injured Maddox after all. You have to learn your lesson."
"I know," Janice lowered her head. "This is my fault. I really know that I was wrong. If I dare attack
you again in the future, let me be struck by lightning. By the way, I will stay here to think about it for
one more day."
"I hope you''ll keep your word," Minerva said, pursing her red lips. She then stood up. "If you haven''t
sincerely regretted it, then it would''ve been a waste of your mother''s efforts. Also, I''m not going to
forgive you. I just... feel sorry for your mother."
After saying that, Minerva turned around and left.
Janice was still sitting where she was and pondered over what Minerva had meant. Only then did
she react. Could it be because her mother went to plead with Minerva that she was touched?
After Minerva left, she returned to the hospital with Maddox.
Abigail probably had something to do, so she smiled as she let them go back first, and then entered
again with Samantha.
Minerva asked about his wound after sending Maddox back to the hospital.
"There''s no need to keep asking about my wounds. If you''re willing to take care of me, my wounds
will heal quickly."
Minerva remained silent.
She nced at Maddox silently and then began to pack up her things. She said, "I have already
finished dealing with the things here. Your wound..."
"I''m feeling better so you''re leaving?" Maddox watched at her hands as she packed up her things.
"Or do you think that the woman is no longer a threat, so you''re going to stay away from me?"
Minerva''s hands paused as she tidied up her things. Then, she turned around to look at him.
"No. You''re thinking too much. I just need to pack up my things first."
"In the beginning, you nned to take care of me when I was injured. When I can move freely, you
would leave, wouldn''t you?"
Minerva pursed her lips and stared quietly at Maddox.
This was indeed her way of thinking, but Maddox was obviously more difficult to deal with than she
had thought. Hence, she didn''t know if she should go straight back to thepany.
She thought for a while and tried to speak as tactfully as possible.
"That''s not the case. It''s just that I still have a lot of things to deal with in mypany. You know
what mypany is doing. I''ve spent a lot of time taking care of you recently and thepany''s
affairs have piled up like a mountain. Your condition has improved, so I naturally have to go back to
thepany to deal with things there."
"What if you''re done dealing with them?"
She had avoided the main concern, but obviously, Maddox didn''t intend to let her go. Instead, he
kept asking her persistently.
Minerva had no idea how to answer such a question.
She could only smile. "There are a lot of things to do and I''m afraid it won''t be finished in a short
time."
Maddox''s gaze was as sharp as a knife as itnded on her body. Minerva couldn''t help but take a
step back and cough softly. "I''lle and visit you regrly."

As soon as she finished her words, Maddox said, "As long as I don''t recover from my injury, you
won''t leave?"
Minerva was confused and asked, "What?"
"Is that so?" Maddox repeated the question as if he was confirming the answer. "Is that right?"
She didn''t know how to answer.
Minerva took a deep breath and looked at Maddox seriously. "I have made it very clear. What else
do you want? If you ask me like this, will I feel that you want to threaten me with self-abuse?
Maddox, if you really dare to do this, I won''t even spare you another nce even if you die!"
She said what she wanted to say first in case Maddox really abused himself. The look and
expression in his eyes made her have a bad feeling.
Maddox had only wanted to ask her about it and did not think about hurting himself. However, when
he saw how she was staring at him nervously, his thin lips could not help but curl up again.
