Perfect Mysterious Husband (Maddox and Kimberly)

Turning around, Minerva scooped a bowl of plain soup and placed it in front of him.

"Your dinner." Maddox had already been waiting for a long ton an empty stomach, and seeing that there was only a bowl of plain soup, he was a little upset. "That's it?" Minerva gave a fake smile. "What do you expect? You're seriously injured now, so you can only eat plain food like this. It's good enough that you even get to have soup." Maddox could not help but frown when he heard that. He said, "You brought more than just plain soup last night." "Yesterday was yesterday, and today is today. They are two separate days and should not be compared." After saying this, Minerva sat down in a chair next to him. She seemed displeased. Maddox glanced at her and then at the plain soup in his bowl. Then, he smiled helplessly in his heart.

It seemed that this woman had really only given him plain soup.

"Did you make the soup yourself?" He asked.

Minerva snorted and said, "No, I bought it on the streets." How could that be possible? Maddox realized that the taste and color of the soup in front of him were clearly not the swith the ones on the roadside.

This woman was deliberately trying to be stubborn with him.

Why was that so? Was it because of the kiss? A smile played on Maddox's lips. He held the bowl of soup in one hand and brought it to his mouth. Even though it was plain soup, he could still taste the warmth. At least, this woman had cooked specially for him, and had even delivered it to him personally.

Her heart and actions were enough for him.

Minerva sat beside him. When she saw that Maddox had finished the soup till the very last drop, without saying a word, she started to ponder on life.

If it was her, she wouldn't have been able to just have plain soup by itself. She would need to have it with other dishes to help her finish.

For example, ssmall dishes would do. However, Maddox had...

Maddox was already thin and with his injury this time, it made him look even thinner. But then, she had him only have the soup.

He didn't even say anything and just finished the soup quickly. Suddenly, Minerva felt that she had gone too far. He had gotten hurt because of her! Thinking of this, Minerva coughed lightly and stood up. "Do you want fruits? I bought sjust now." She bought sfruits in the supermarket.

"Right now?" Maddox narrowed his eyes. It was only then that she realized that he had just finished his soup. It was indeed not a suitable tnow. In addition, the fruits were still cold and it would be best if he ate them during the day instead.

She looked away in annoyance and did not speak to Maddox again.

The ward fell into a quiet and strange silence again. Minerva didn't know what to talk to him about so Maddox just laid there quietly.

She looked back at him and found that Maddox, who used to be tall and mighty, now seemed like a child who looked very pitiful.

Minerva pursed her lips, withdrew her gaze, and closed her eyes.

She couldn't be soft-hearted and couldn't feel sorry for him just because of his injury.

It was all his voluntary actions, yes...

That's it.

Minerva sat for a while and then went to close the door. After packing up, she found a small bed to lie down on and rest. She had thought that with the chair, it was fine if he just laid there for the night. She only needed to accompany him through the night then she could leave early the next morning.

However, not long after she laid down, she heard Maddox's breathing.

"Stupid woman." Minerva stayed quiet.

Who was he calling a stupid woman? "Aren't you going to sleep withtonight?" Maddox asked again.

Minerva turned her head and looked towards Maddox's direction. "What? Who's sleeping with you?" "You..." Seeing her gaze on him, his lips bent upwards. "Didn't you lendyour leg last night? Tonight..." "Don't even think about it. My legs were numb for a day and I almost couldn't even walk. Just because you've injured your back, do you really wantto injure myself too?" Minerva asked quickly.

The smile in Maddox's eyes did not fade away. "What's wrong? I just used your leg as a pillow. It's just numb for a while. What's the big deal?" "I don't want to. I want to sleep here today," Minerva said as she pointed at the small bed and then at the cushion in front of him. "Besides, you've already found someone to prepare this for you. It's much more convenient than using my leg." Maddox looked at the chair in front of him and suddenly felt annoyed.

However, thinking about it carefully, it was good enough that she was willing to chere to accompany him. Why did he still ask for so much? Besides, she did feel numb in her legs the previous night, so he should just let her have a good rest instead. The ward went quiet again.

Minerva saw that he didn't say a word and thought that he must have acquiesced, so she laid down and closed her eyes.

Probably because she had slept too much during the day, she didn't feel a tad bit sleepy. She was particularly clear-headed, and the more sober she was, the more she thought of the nightmare she had in the afternoon.

Minerva turned over and looked in the direction of the ward door.

The next second, she suddenly froze.

Because there was a person standing at the door of the ward.

And that person...

As the two pairs of eyes met mid-air, Minerva felt a chill run down her entire body.

Swish...

After meeting her eyes, the person quickly disappeared from the door of the ward.

Minerva's entire body was as cold as ice as she laid there. She looked like a corpse. One second passed, then two, then three...

Minerva suddenly turned over and sat up from the bed. After getting out of bed, she quickly walked towards the door.

She had just pulled open the door of the ward when Maddox's raised a question from behind her. "Where are you going? Upon hearing his voice, Minerva turned around and found Maddox sitting there staring at her with a pair of gloomy eyes. Minerva asked, "Did you see that?" "What?" Maddow asked, his eyes full of confusion.

"You didn't see it?" Minerva frowned and ignored Maddox as she walked out. In the end, she saw that the she saw that the the corridor to the hospital was empty. There wasn't a single soul in sight. Did she see wrongly? Otherwise, how could the person have left so quickly? But... Those pair of resentful eyes just now was obviously...

Minerva thought about the dream from that afternoon again. An icy chill ran down her body.

Was it her? Was it her? Was she now in the hospital? Thinking of this, Minerva wanted to go out again. Maddox's voice sounded behind her again. "What on earth are you looking for?" His voice drew closer and as Minerva turned around, she found that Maddox had gotten out of bed and was walking towards her.

Realizing that his wound would be affected if he walked, Minerva had no choice but to say, "Hurry up and sit back down. It's none of your om business" Maddox's brows tightened because he noticed that her face was very pale. It was as if she had encountered something that she could not resolve. "What did you see?" Maddox stared into her eyes and asked seriously. Minerva did not answer.

She was stunned for a moment and said slowly after a while, "Janice Lowell." Maddox's eyes darkened when he heard Janice's name. Then, he walked up to Minerva and pulled her into the ward. He walked out and looked around on his own.
