Chapter 516


    Beanie climbed onto the bed on his own, covered himself with his small quilt and soon fell asleep.


    Looking at the child''s sweet face, Minerva''s still couldn''t get her heart to calm down.


    At such a time, she should go to sleep too.


    However, her mind was still in a mess. Her mind was filled with Maddox''s figure in the hospital


    alone.


    Minerva Hanover!


    Wake up a little!


    He was Maddox Yardley! Not a kid!


    "He doesn''t need you to take care of him at all. If you keep thinking about him like this, you''re just


    asking for humiliation. You''re not his babysitter. Why are you so worried about him?" She thought to


    herself.


    After Minerva was done with her inner monologue, she went back to her bed andid down.


    She closed her eyes,id in a daze for a while and then opened her eyes again.


    Time was passing by quietly. It was almost eleven o''clock.


    In the end, Minerva couldn''t resist the torture in her heart. She got up quietly and grabbed her


    phone to take a look, only to find that Maddox had sent her several Facebook messages.


    "Didn''t you say that you''lle as soon as you''re free? If you''re busy now, then I''ll just wait."


    This message was sent when she had put down her phone.


    Then half an hourter, he had sent another text.


    "Are you still not free?"


    After there was no response, the man sent another message.


    "I''vee to the entrance of the hospital to wait for you. Once you''re free and you''ve arrived, you


    would be able to see me."


    That was sent at nine o''clock.


    At 9:30pm: "I''ve waited for half an hour. Woman, are you so cruel to let me continue waiting?"


    10pm: "I''m hungry."


    10:30pm: "I''m a little cold." 11 pm: "Aren''t youing yet? There''s no one else at the entrance


    already."


    Not long after this message was sent, Minerva''s expression changed. The time he sent the


    message was just when she opened his messages. D*mn it.


    Could Maddox still be waiting for her at the entrance? Could he have starved the whole night?


    She thought about how he had been waiting for her at the hospital entrance for a few hours with the


    wound on his back. Minerva could not care less at that point in time. She felt like she was a sinner.


    She could not care about anything else. She grabbed a coat and headed out.


    In the middle of the night, Minerva rushed to the front of the neighborhood and called for a cab, then


    went straight to the hospital.


    Her house was about 20 minutes away from the hospital. Looking at thest text he sent, Minerva


    felt extremely anxious.


    That man was no longer very young, but why was he as rash as a teenager when he did things?

    Minerva scolded him in her heart hundreds of times and then urged the driver, "Sir, please hurry up.


    My friend is still waiting for me."


    The driver had been driving slowly but when he heard her request, he nodded and said, "Okay, I


    can be faster, but safety is more important."


    "Thank you."


    Minerva looked down at her phone, but Maddox didn''t send her any messages.


    She didn''t know whether he had gone back or not.


    Twenty minutester, Minerva finally arrived at the entrance of the hospital. After Minerva paid the


    fare, she pushed open the door and got out of the car. She ran over quickly, but she did not see


    Maddox at the hospital entrance.


    Had he gone back?


    Minerva had run too fast, so she was panting heavily.


    She picked up her cell phone to see if Maddox had sent her any messages. At this moment, a faint


    sound came not far behind her.


    "I thought you wouldn''te..."


    Just like that, the familiar voice entered Minerva''s ears without any warning. Her body froze for a


    moment before turning around. She saw Maddox''s slender figure leaning against the trunk of a


    large tree. Both of his hands were inserted into the pocket of his hospital gown. His handsome


    outline was hidden in the night sky, and his pale lips and weak face could be vaguely seen.


    It seemed that there was a big hand tightly grabbing Minerva''s heart, and then it twisted and shook


    it unscrupulously.


    That feeling almost made Minerva suffocate.


    She closed her eyes and then took a deep breath to calm down.


    After calming down a little, Minerva began to walk over to the man under the tree.


    Step by step, she was approaching him.


    Under the dim streetlights, the shadows of the two people extended very long.


    "You... Why are you still here... Ah..." Just as Minerva approached and opened her mouth, the


    person who had been standing against the tree for a while stretched out his long arm and grabbed


    her. He grabbed her by the shoulders and pressed her onto the thick tree trunk with a twist of his


    hand.


    Minerva cried out in surprise. Just when she thought she was about to be hit on the back, a pair of


    arms blocked all the hardness for her.


    Then, everything went dark. Maddox''s cold and dry lips pressed down on hers without any warning.


    "Oh," Minerva''s eyes widened as she stared incredulously at Maddox, who was right in front of her.


    At that moment, his handsome eyes were tightly closed and his slightly fluttering eyshes showed


    his weakness, as if he would fall down with a gentle push.


    However, the touch from his lips brought Minerva back to her senses. She reached out to push his


    chest, causing Maddox to let out a painful cry from the depths of his throat. It sounded like the


    agonizing struggle of an animal before it died, causing others to be unable to bear to hurt him.


    Minerva stopped pushing him.


    Maddox took the opportunity to take a step forward as well. He took in her sweet and fragrant scent.


    He felt a wave of warmth from her, as though she had just left the bedroom, hugely contrasting with


    his hours of waiting out in the cold.


    He needed that warmth.


    Maddox greedily tried to savor her sweetness. Minerva was unable to struggle. She resisted at the


    start, but slowly started to reciprocate his kisses.


    In the end, the two hugged each other.


    Time passed by minute by minute. The car that passed by by the roadside honked and pulled


    Minerva''s mind back to reality. She hurriedly pushed Maddox away.


    After Maddox had his share of kisses and he was satisfied, he retracted his lips.


    Both of their breathing became hurried. Minerva''s lips were red and swollen. She red at him as


    she huffed, "Are you a fool?"


    Maddox knew why she was scolding him. His lips, which had regained their warmth, curved into a


    beautiful arc. He leaned forward intimately and rubbed his head against Minerva''s forehead. He


    hummed in acknowledgment.


    "What do you mean by that? I''m asking if you''re a fool. Did you admit it?"


    "Hmm."


    Maddox closed his eyes and nodded in agreement.


    Minerva was incensed by his attitude and she was about to scold him again.


    However, Maddox suddenly stretched out his arms and hugged her tightly, and then said while


    burying his head in her embrace.


    "As long as you''re willing toe, I''m happy even if I need to be a fool."


    She didn''t know what to say.


    Minerva was stunned.


    She epted the man''s embrace in a daze, her chin ced on his shoulders. The air around her


    was full of the man''s strong breath.


    After all he had already been injured, and he had been waiting in the middle of the night for a few


    hours.


    He looked so fragile.
