Chapter 525


    Minerva had a few peaceful days.


    Ever since that night, Maddox had not sent messages, asking her to go to the hospital. His


    Messenger ount was silent in her inbox, as though it had never appeared.


    There was even a moment when Minerva had thought that she had forgotten to pay her phone bills.


    She had even thought that her home''s wirelesswork had gone down. Otherwise, why were there


    no messages from Maddox?


    Nevertheless, apart from the absence of his messages, all other forms ofmunication of hers


    was working well.


    Including the phone.


    It proved that she had paid her phone bills and her house''s wirelesswork was working well.


    Instead, it was Maddox who had really stopped contacting her.


    She thought to herself, perhaps he had grown frustrated. He probably thought it was pointless for


    him to keep texting her to visit him at the hospital. After all, not everyone would stand still and wait.


    He had probably moved on with life.


    That was good news.


    Everyone had their own lives.


    Nevertheless, there was a void in her heart.


    Minerva fell onto the sofa behind her, holding her phone tightly in her hand.


    The gap in her heart made Minerva hate herself.


    It was she who had been refusing him. She wanted to cut off contact with him forever. But when he


    really stopped contacting her, why did her heart feel so hollow?


    It was as if something had been taken away.


    Perhaps, she had gotten used to his presence?


    After all, since they met each other again, he frequently appeared in her life, upying her recent


    couple of days.


    It was natural that people would get used to someone.


    Since she had gotten used to Maddox''s presence, then had no choice but to get used to his


    absence.


    At the thought of that, Minerva calmed down and formted a n in her mind.


    That was it.


    After dinner, Minervaid down at home. The adult cat and the kittens had already been brought


    home.


    That day, Vera and Beanie took them to the pet shop to disinfect and expel pests. After that, they


    bought a cage to bring the cats back home.


    The kittens were well protected by the big cat. After staying at her home for nearly a week, they


    were all fat little kittens.


    Probably because they had found their home, the cat grew ustomed to them. She was willing to


    let them touch the kittens.


    Every time after nursing the kittens, the cat would walk alone to the balcony. On the balcony, it


    wouldy under the sunshine and roll in a few circles. Then, she would lie therezily with her eyes


    squinted, looking veryfortable.


    A cloud of kittens ran around on the carpet at home. Because they were barely a month old, they


    stumbled on their front and hind legs when they walked, but they were very determined. After falling


    down, they climbed back up.


    Whenever someone passed by, they would follow that person all the way.


    In short, with the kittens in her house, Minerva had to be extra careful when she walked.


    That was because the kittens ran fast. If she did not pay attention, she was afraid that she would


    identally step on them.


    "Meow..." Minerva was lying on the sofa in a low mood when she suddenly heard a meow beside


    her feet. She looked at it and found that a kitten had escaped its cage. At that moment, it was


    standing on its feet and staring at her curiously with its two dark eyes.


    Minerva stared back at her for a while. Then, she suddenly bent down to hold the kitten in her arms.


    She caressed its small head with her fingers. "Tell me... What is he doing right now?"


    "Should I... go to the hospital and see him? I don''t know how his injury is."


    "Mommy, who is injured?" Beanie had overheard her as he wasing down the stairs.


    Minerva immediately came to her senses. Instantly, her expression changed.


    "Nothing. You must have misheard me."


    Beanie curiously stared at her and asked,


    "Really? But just now, I clearly heard..."


    "I was asking about the injury on the big cat''s leg. Why else do you think I''m saying this when I''m


    holding the kitten like that?"


    Minerva exined with a smile.


    Although she didn''t want to lie to Beanie, she couldn''t tell him that she was talking about Maddox. If


    she did, Beanie would ask about his father again.


    The matter of his father was another dilemma to Minerva. It was something she had to consider


    carefully.


    Indeed, she could not live alone. Even though she could endure the loneliness through those


    endless years, Beanie was a child. He needed aplete family to grow up like a normal child.


    As Minerva thought about that, she slowly made up her mind.


    Beanie apanied her to sit on the sofa for a while. The kitten had been in her arms for a long


    time, so Minerva put it down and Beanie went to y with it.


    When they had left, Minerva discovered that she was drenched in cold sweat.


    She had just said something like that without her knowing it.


    Because she had unknowingly clenched her fists, her fingernails had pierced through her skin.


    Finally, Minerva let go of her hands.


    Since she was worried, why not go to the hospital? Perhaps she could buy him some fruits? After


    all, it was still early. She could just go and take a look before returning home.


    With that thought in mind, Minerva jumped into action.


    She got up and put on a coat. Then, she took her bag and went downstairs.


    Later, she picked up a bag of fruits from a nearby fruit shop. Finally, she then got on a cab and


    headed to the hospital.


    Originally, everything was going fine. However, when she reached the entrance of the hospital,


    Minerva suddenly shrank back.


    She had already promised to cut off all ties with him, but what was she doing?


    Why was she running to see him?


    Wouldn''t it just make him think that she was ying hard-to-get?


    Well, forget it.


    Anyway, since she had already arrived at the hospital, she decided to go in and have a look.


    As for the rest, she would decideter.


    Minerva walked to the familiar ward with some fruits.


    She stood at the door of the ward and took a deep breath, then pushed the door open and went in.


    After pushing open the door, Minerva was stunned. She stood there and stared into the room in a


    daze.


    The ward waspletely empty; all of the sheets on the hospital bed had also been removed. They


    were reced with new ones, folded neatly. Where was the patient?


    After a moment, Minerva thought that she must have gone to the wrong ward, so she left to check.


    However, she found that she had not entered the wrong room.From N?velDrama.Org.


    Just then, a nurse passed by her.


    Minerva quickly stopped her to ask, "Excuse me, I''m sorry for disturbing you. May I ask about the


    gentleman who stays in this ward?" "Hey, haven''t you always been taking care of him? Why don''t


    you know that he has been discharged from the hospital?"


    "Huh? He''s been discharged from the hospital? So soon?" Minerva was a little surprised.


    "Yes, he was just discharged from the hospital today. We just cleaned up the ward."


    "Oh I see, thank you."


    After the nurse left, Minerva stood there in a daze.


    After a long while, she bowed her head to look at the fruit in her hand and smiled helplessly.
