Perfect Mysterious Husband (Maddox and Kimberly)

In front of her, even though Maddox gave her a pleading look, he was still so strong.

However, if he said it out loud, he would look petty.

He didn't look like himself at all.

Was it because of her? Minerva closed her eyes and felt as if there was a fire burning in her heart. Finally, with her eyes quivering, she extended her arms and tried to hug Maddox.

Ten minutes later.

The two of them returned to the ward together.

It was warm in the ward. Minerva led Maddox to the bed and then turned around to fetch swater. Yet, as soon as she turned around, Maddox grabbed her hand and asked, "Where are you going?" There was a trace of anxiety in his voice and he stared at her with a frown.

Minerva gave him a helpless expression. "Your hands are cold. I'll pour you a glass of water." "You won't leave?" It seemed as though he didn't believe her so he had to ask just to make sure.

Minerva shook her head. "I'm not leaving." "You're already acting this way. If I leave, won't you just stay out in the cold again?" She thought to herself. Of course, she did not speak this aloud.

"Let go, now." Minerva pushed his hand away but Maddox didn't want to let go. Minerva said angrily, "You don't want to let go, do you? Then stand up and go withto get swater." Upon hearing this, Maddox pursed his lips and released his grip on her.

After she was released, Minerva could finally go and pour him swater. She poured a cup of warm water and handed it to Maddox. "Drink it quickly. You've waited for a few hours. It's so cold outside and you're still injured. Why couldn't you just wait inside?" Maddox took the cup and drank a few mouthfuls of water. Then, he looked up at her.

His gaze burnt intensely, as if she would disappear in the next second.

Minerva felt uneasy under his gaze. She turned her face away and said, "Drink your water." He lowered his head to drink swater again. Minerva turned her head back and stared at Maddox. She said, "In the future, don't try to tricklike this again. I've already told you that I don't have tto cover. You should look for food yourself. It's not like you don't have any family. You're the President of the Yardley Corporation. Won't you be able to eat anything you want?" "But I only want you." Maddox looked up at her seriously and spoke.

Minerva didn't have anything to say to that.

"I'm not your caretaker so I can't bring you food every day," she said seriously. "Do you understand? I'm not your full-tcaretaker. I brought you food because I wanted to take care of you, but... I can't do this every day. I have my own work." "I know," Maddox nodded and his thin lips moved slightly. "Actually, it's fine as long as you're here. You don't have to bring food." "That's also impossible. I'm not that free." "Then I'll go and look for you," Maddox quickly cup with a solution.

Minerva was speechless by his words. She blinked her eyes and said helplessly, "That's not possible either." "Why?" He stared at her and asked innocently.

Minerva also stared back at him. She really wanted to ask him if he really didn't know what he did back then. Why was he still clinging to her so innocently? However, before she could speak, Maddox's face suddenly turned pale. Then he reached out and covered his stomach with his hands and groaned in pain. "What's wrong?" Minerva's expression changed as she hurriedly walked over to Maddox.

Maddox reached out to hold on to his stomach. Cold sweat beaded on his forehead. His stomach hurt so much at that moment that he could not even speak. "I'm fine," Maddox replied to Minerva in pain.

But how could he be fine in that state? Minerva looked at the position where his hand was covering and suddenly thought of something. She asked, "Haven't you had dinner yet?" Although Maddox's face darkened, he still nodded.

"You're such a fool," she eventually sighed.

In order to wait for her, he hadn't had dinner until then. What else could he be if he was not a fool? Did he not even care about his own health in order to wait for her? However, since he was willing to use his body to shield her from the acid, needless to say he would surely skip a meal.

Thinking of this, Minerva didn't say anything else. She stretched out her hand to rub his stomach and said, "Move your hand away." Seeing that she wanted to help him, Maddox moved his hands away. Then, Minerva's warm little palm covered his stomach and rubbed it gently for him.

At this moment, the distance between them was very close, and their breaths mixed together. Maddox looked at Minerva's solemn expression and his pale thin lips slowly lifted into a weak smile. "This feels good." He sighed.

Minerva looked up and glanced at him in confusion. When she saw the doting smile on his lips, she couldn't help but frown. "What's wrong with you? Why are you still saying that when you're in pain like this?" "Hmm." Although Maddox's face was pale, there was no trace of pain on his face. On the contrary, he nodded his head in satisfaction.

Minerva didn't know what else to say.

She probably knew why he said that. He was indeed a fool.

Thinking of this, Minerva ignored him.

When his stomach ache subsided, Minerva took out her mobile phone and opened a food delivery app. "It's too late now. It'll be too late forto cook when I get back, so I'll just order ssoup for you."

Because many shops were still open at night, there were also many soup stalls still operating. Minerva was fickle with her choices and she finally settled on a restaurant that looked decent. She ordered a serving of soup along with sdishes. After the restaurant accepted her order, she personally called the restaurant to instruct them to cook the soup a little longer and to cook the side dishes in less cooking oil. After all that, Minerva finally hung up feeling more settled. After an eventful night, Minerva felt tired. After sitting down on the chair, she subconsciously picked up the cup next to her and took a few sips.

When she looked up, she found that Maddox was staring at her with burning eyes.

He was obviously sick but he still gave her such a look.

Minerva couldn't help but grit her teeth. "What are you looking at? Why don't you go back and rest? The soup will be sent over later."

There was a faint smile on Maddox's thin lips. His dark eyes were filled with doting love as well. "Do yaum know that you used my cup?" Minerva's hand paused. She lowered her head and looked at the cup in her hand. She slowly cto her senses. It seemed to be true...

She had poured this cup of water for him earlier. Because he suddenly had a stomach ache, Minerva took it and put it aside. At that moment, she didn't think about anything and picked it up and drank from it. She didn't expect that it would be the cup he drank from earlier and Maddox had caught her in the act too. Minerva was instantly a little unsettled. She placed the cup on the table and said icily, "Who said that the cup is yours? I was the one who poured the water and I've already changed it just now." "Oh, when was that?" Maddox looked at her with a calm and composed expression.

Minerva said with a fake smile, "When I made the call."
