Perfect Mysterious Husband novel Chapter 434

"Minerva hadn't eaten anything all day?"

Maddox furrowed his brows as he looked at the unconscious woman. No wonder she was in so much pain; she had little regard for her health.

As soon as the words escaped Vera's lips, she instantly clammed her mouth shut. She had revealed too much.

She then hastily asked, "Mr. Yardley, could you let me know which hospital she is in? I'd like to go see her."

"That wouldn't be convenient."

He hung up immediately after finishing his sentence.

Vera was left with the empty sounds of her phone's dial tone.

What the f*ck!

Maddox, that b*stard!

Did he really think he could do as he pleased just because he was a client? What an a*shole! No wonder Minerva could not care less about him!

He was such an unreasonable, overbearing person!

Deep in thought, Vera pursed her lips. Although she found Maddox an annoyance, he did however, sound evidently distressed, like he had a dismal cloud hung over his head during their brief conversation.

He must be rather worried about Minerva. He had not mentioned that he was not in the hospital, so she assumed that he was.

In the end, Vera, unable to shake the worry off, decided to send out a text.

'Mr. Yardley, has Minerva been admitted to a hospital?'

This was all she needed to know.

Ding.

Maddox's reply was prompt and concise. 'Yes'.

Although the reply was distant and reserved, Vera felt a wave of relief wash over her as she read the message. She then sent out another text.

'I shall leave Minerva in your care then, Mr. Yardley. Please watch over her. Just give me a ring if you need my help.'

Maddox initially had no intention of responding to Vera, but as he recalled what the doctor had said to him, he decided upon his better judgment to share the doctor's instructions with Vera. She quickly understood what was asked of her, and went on to make her preparations.

Maddox also disclosed the hospital's name to her.

It was already midnight when Vera made it to the hospital.

The hospital was quiet, where only the soft and mellow sounds emitting from medical equipment could be heard. Vera knocked on the hospital ward's door, then pushed it open to enter.

The single wards were as silent as the hospital hallways; Maddox and Minerva were its only occupants.

As Vera lightly and quietly tiptoed into the ward, with a vacuum flask secured tightly in her hands, her eyes incidentally met Maddox's cold gaze.

In a flash, Vera felt a chill run down her spine.

This man's terrifying stare was no joke!

Vera placed the flask on the table, and quietly asked, "She hasn't woken up yet?"

"No," Maddox uttered, his voice dark and tinged with fatigue. He sat on the edge of the bed, watching Minerva closely. Vera pondered a moment, then took a few deep breaths before stealing a glance at Minerva.

She looked as pale as a ghost. It was clear that her condition was bad.

"How is she? Is she okay?"
