Chapter 511


    His gaze was burning hot and the back of Minerva''s head felt numb from his stare. She could only


    reply curtly, "If you don''t have anything else to do today, you can rest. I''ll go back first."


    "So early?" Maddox looked at the time and said, "Please stay with me for a while."


    Such a natural tone made Minerva anxious.


    Just a second ago, he had a serious look on his face as he questioned her. And just a momentter,


    he became rxed, as though he had be apletely different person.


    How could he change his mood so quickly?


    Minerva quietly muttered a few words in her heart. After which, she said, "That won''t do. I have


    some matters to attend to this afternoon. I need to return first."


    "What is it?" Maddox asked, but Minerva''s heart skipped a beat.


    She promised to pick Beanie up from school that afternoon. When Minerva thought of Beanie, she


    felt that his face was almost identical with Maddox''s.


    Thinking of this, Minerva coughed lightly and said, "It''s not a big deal but I still have to go. You take


    care of yourself in the hospital first. I''lle and see you tomorrow when I''m free."


    "What about my dinner? If you don''te, won''t you even give me dinner?" His question wasced


    with grievance.


    Minerva thought for a moment. There didn''t seem to be anyone in his house who could cook. It


    wasn''t practical to ask Sam to bring him food. A big man like Sam would probably only know how to


    buy bread?


    No, that''s not right, Minerva thought as she shook her head.


    How could she confuse herself? Maddox came from a prestigious family and there was a first-ss


    chef at home. How could he worry that there wouldn''t be anything to eat?

    Thinking of this, Minerva said, "Let me think about it first. If I''m free, I''ll bring you some food."


    She then picked up her bag, turned around, and left quickly.


    After leaving the ward, Minerva heaved a long sigh of relief.


    Fortunately, she escaped quickly. If she hadn''te out, Maddox would have asked the next


    question. What if she didn''t have time?


    At that time, she would have to think of another excuse.


    That was too terrifying.


    Thinking of this, Minerva quickly left the hospital.


    At school.


    There were quite a few people at the entrance. Minerva raised her hand to look at the time on her


    watch. There was still five minutes before school was over, so she would have to wait a little longer.


    After nearly five minutes, the bell signaling the end of school finally rang.


    Then a teacher and a group of children came out of the ss in a long line.


    Because there was no guarantee of safety, the teachers there would recognize the parents of the


    children''s family. Names would be called out and whoever is called woulde out from the line.


    Minerva''s too eyecatching in the crowd. The teacher saw her as soon as she came out. Then, she


    smiled slightly and said, "Beanie, your mommy is here to pick you up today."


    Minerva hadn''te to school many times, but because she was very good-looking and Beanie


    was very popr at school, the


    teacher had a deep impression of Minerva.


    Beanie was called. He poked his small head out of the line and looked outside.


    His eyes met Minerva''s. Beanie''s instantly became excited and then ran over to Minerva.


    "Slow down, don''t fall." Seeing this scene, the teacher quickly reminded Beanie, fearing that he


    would fall down.


    However, after so many days, Beanie finally saw Minervae to pick him up. In the past few days


    he had only seen Auntie Vera. Although Beanie liked Auntie Vera very much and they were very


    close, he was still the closest to his mother.


    Therefore, Beanie ran very fast and soon arrived in front of Minerva.


    Seeing him run, Minerva grew nervous so she had to quickly squat down to catch him. Beanie threw


    himself into her arms. It seemed that Beanie put forth all his strength, but when Beanie came to her,


    he suddenly held back his strength. When Minerva squatted down in her high heels, she didn''t fall


    back.


    Beanie wrapped his arms around her neck and said, "Mommy, you''re finally here."


    "Yes, didn''t I keep my promise?" Minerva reached out and pinched Beanie''s soft palm.


    "Yes!" Beanie nodded furiously.


    "Let''s go!" Minerva stood up and held Beanie''s hand. "We''ll go to the supermarket today."


    It was rare for her to have time, so Minerva decided to bring him to the supermarket to treasure the


    time they could spend together.


    The mother and son walked while smiling. When the people around them came to their senses,


    they found that they were stunned.


    "In a while, we''ll just buy some groceries and go home. Then I will personally cook dinner for you,


    okay?" The two went straight to the supermarket nearby. The supermarket was not far from their


    house and it was quiterge. They could arrive on foot after just a while of walking.


    The two of them bought all sorts of ingredients in the supermarket, probably because they were


    happy. Minerva decided to make a few more dishes at night, so she bought a lot of things.


    When she finished shopping, she suddenly remembered something.


    She handed the phone to Beanie with a smile.


    "Call your uncle and ask him toe over for dinner tonight."


    Hearing this, Beanie raised his head but did not reach out his hand to take her phone.


    Instead, he asked doubtfully, "Mommy, why don''t you call uncle yourself?"


    The smile on Minerva''s lips froze. She poked Beanie''s cheek a little awkwardly and asked, "What''s


    wrong? You don''t even want to help me give uncle a call?"


    Beanie shook his head. "Mommy, did you anger uncle? Don''t you dare to call him?"


    Those words caused Minerva to swallow.


    She had really angered Quill.


    That was because Quill did not agree with her interacting with Maddox. However, recently, she had


    been going back and forth from the hospital because of Maddox''s injury. There were so many things


    going on every day that she could not attend to Quill''s thoughts at all.


    Now that things had calmed down, Minerva thought about what she had said to Quill before and


    realized that it was indeed too much.


    He was her elder brother, her strongest backing.


    When she had been badly hurt in the past, she had relied on him until now.


    However, she had turned back and taken care of the man who had broken her heart. It was no


    wonder that Quill would be angry.


    Thinking up to this point, Minerva pursed her thin lips. She could not make up her mind for a


    moment while holding her phone.


    "Mommy, if you don''t dare to call, I''ll call uncle for you. After that, you have to take the call yourself."


    Minerva said, "Then forget it." She smiled and wanted to put her phone away. She decided to send


    a messageter to check on him.


    However, she didn''t expect that Beanie would actually be angry. He pouted and said, "Mommy, you


    are bad. Uncle is usually so nice to you, but you don''t even want to give him a call."


    After that, Beanie leaped out of the shopping cart and said, "I don''t care about you anymore."


    Then, he ran forward. He was so fast that Minerva didn''t have time to stop him. Before she could


    react, Beanie had disappeared.


    Minerva was stunned for a few seconds before she helplessly curled her lips into a smile. This little


    brat...
