Perfect Mysterious Husband (Maddox and Kimberly)

After stime, Minerva said softly, "You're injured and I'm not a doctor. What's the point ofbeing here." "Who said that there's no point?" Maddox looked up and straight at her. He slightly opened his thin lips and said, "Chere." Although he looked terrible, he looked much better than before. Minerva did not move forward. Instead, she stood on the spot and said softly, "If you have anything to say, you can say it directly. I can hear you from here." "Really?" Maddox sneered, "But I can't. Chere." Minerva said, "Don't be insatiably greedy!" "Fine, then I'll move." After that, Maddox really wanted to get up and walk towards her.

He had just moved a little and Minerva's expression changed drastically. Without much thought, she walked over to him and pressed him back down onto the bed. "Don't mess around. The doctor has just treated your wounds, hasn't he? Why are you..." Minerva's last words were drowned away by his embrace. He held Minerva in his embrace as she looked a little dazed. Her heartbeat seemed to have stopped for a moment. Every breath she took belonged to the man.

Despite... this being a hospital.

Minerva's eyelashes fluttered and she asked hesitatingly, "Wh-what are you doing?" Maddox breathed greedily on her neck. His voice was muffled and he said, "I just wanted to confirm that you are safe and sound." Minerva was speechless.

"I'm fine. Hurry up and let go of me," Minerva said as she tried to push him away.

"Mm..." Maddox groaned in pain and this successfully made Minerva stop struggling. She had seen his wounds with her own eyes for a long time. How could she not know how terrifying those wounds were? Hence, when he shouted in pain this time, it must have been really painful. After all, she couldn't even stand just seeing it. "You're fine but I'm not." There was a hint of grievance in Maddox's voice. All the heat that he exhaled lingered on Minerva's neck. He was especially sad and said, "Are you going to pushaway even if it's just a hug?" Minerva blinked her eyes. Why did she feel that this man was taking advantage of her by using his injuries? She took a deep breath to calm herself down.

"How much longer do you want to holdfor?" "It won't be long, just for a little while longer." Deal! Then she'll trust him this time! She'll let him hug her for a little while longer. After all, he was a patient, right? And plus, she was the reason he got hurt? She just couldn't push him away, could she? After all, being hugged for a little while longer would not kill her or cause her any harm anyways. Furthermore, it was not like Maddox had never hugged her before in the past. She would just treat it as... their past hugs.

However, she had underestimated Maddox's shamelessness. She had thought that he would be hugging her quietly. However, he had only been quiet for a short while before his arms wrapped around her waist began to becrestless.

In the beginning, his hands merely moved a little and did not do anything else.

However, as he realized that Minerva didn't resist, he then becfearless. He slowly moved his hands upward and touched her back gently. Minerva frowned when she felt something wrong, then she raised her head and wanted to see what the hell Maddox was doing.

However, as soon as she raised her head, she saw a shadow in front of her.

Then, her lips turned soft.

A gush of warmth covered her lips.

Minerva's eyes widened. It was as if her heart had been electrocuted. She felt a little numb.

She looked at Maddox, who was right in front of her.

Perhaps it was because of the pain, so he didn't even open his eyes. His eyelashes casted a shadow under her eyes; even that felt fragile too.

"Mm." It took a few seconds for Minerva to recover from being in shock. She stretched out her hands to push him away out of reflex, but nothing happened. Then, she pushed him again and Maddox cried out in pain on the spot. The sound of something shattering spilled out from her lips.

Minerva's heart softened when she saw the cold sweat on his forehead. The hand that pushed him stopped and fell to her sides.

If she didn't push him, she could only be at his expense.

Minerva would never have imagined that five years later, she would... let him hold her in his arms and gently kiss her like that. Maddox's kiss was not heavy, but very light.

Just like snow falling on the ground in the winter, the kiss had no desires or impurities.

Tpassed by slowly. Minerva didn't know how much thad passed before Maddox finally let go of her. His scorching thin lips landed on her forehead. He then said in a low voice, "For you to be willing to lethug you quietly and kiss you like this, it's worth it even if I have to die this time." Minerva was speechless.

This man! She secretly gritted her teeth and did not say anything.

Moments later, Minerva raised her head then glared hatefully at Maddox and asked, "Are you hungry or not? Do you wantto prepare something for you to eat?" The two of them were very close to each other. Because of the kiss just now, there was still a trace of intimacy in the air.

"Are you willing to prepare something forto eat?" Maddox didn't answer but he asked her back.

Minerva was instantly speechless. Then, she looked at the man in front of her in annoyance, who was still pretending to be obedient after he took advantage of her. "You're injured because of me. Do you think that I won't be willing to do so?" Maddox's eyes darkened when he heard that. "So you wanted to prepare something forto eat just because you felt guilty."

But soon, the depression in his eyes was replaced by other emotions. He stared at her with burning eyes and said, "If that's the case then youm should stay and take care ofduring this period of time." Minerva, who was standing upright just now, stumbled and almost fell forward because of what he had just said.

Fortunately, she was able to stabilize herself.

She looked at the man in front of her with a wicked smile on her thin lips. It m was obvious that he was going to he take advantage of her this tbecause of his injury. However, what else could she do? She couldn't really just leave him there. Minerva gritted her teeth and said, "I can take care of you but you can't behave like just now again." "What happened just now? Which one are you referring to?" Maddox raised his brows. There was even a hint of contentment between his brows.

His manner was infuriating so Minerva ignored him and said icily, "I'll go back first then I'll cback to see you again later. You'll be fine on your own, right?" "How long will that take?" "Who knows?" "Don't take too long. What if my wound hurts badly and I pass out?" Minerva answered, "I'll be back in an hour." Maddox finally curled his lips with satisfaction and said, "Okay."

When Minerva left, she looked at Maddox with sconcern.

Although he looked very happy, it disgusted her somehow. However, it could be seen from his pale lips and cold sweat on his forehead, that he was not in a good state. Hence, she'd better go back and return as soon as possible.

When Minerva's figure slowly disappeared away from the ward, the terrible smile on Maddox's face slowly faded as he heard the sound of the footsteps fading away. Then, it was replaced by a look of pain.

He didn't know which position he should be in to avoid intensifying the pain in his back. It was impossible for him to lay down and it was impossible for him to lay face down either.

However... When he thought of the sweet taste at the corner of his lips earlier, Maddox felt that getting injured was actually a good thing.

After a moment, he closed his eyes and helplessly mocked himself.

"Maddox, I beg you to be a good person." X
