Perfect Mysterious Husband novel Chapter 499

She didn't know how to react to Maddox's gaze. In the end, Minerva could only shift her eyes away from his.

As a doctor, Abigail naturally knew how to examine Maddox's wounds. Minerva waited at the side for a while. Sure enough, she heard Abigail suck in a sharp breath. After that, she asked in disbelief, "What, what happened? How did you get hurt like this?"

No one answered Abigail's question. She was still looking at Maddox's wound and after a while, perhaps it was because she couldn't bear the sight any longer, she sat down aside to calm her emotions.

After she calmed down, Abigail looked at Maddox and asked.

"Don't tell me that these injuries were caused by Janice?"

Upon hearing this, Maddox sneered and said, "Does it seem like I could have done this to myself?"

Abigail was speechless.

Although Abigail knew that Janice might have hurt Maddox, she did not expect the wound to be that serious. She had seen this kind of wound before... but it was very rare. However, the wound was so bad that Abigail still had its innage imprinted in her mind.

As such, Abigail could tell from a glance how Maddox's back had gotten injured.

If those injuries were really caused by Janice, it seemed reasonable for her to be sent to court.

He was injured so badly; it could be considered as a crime of intentional harming.

"Then..." Abigail suddenly did not know what to say. She had come here because of Janice's mother, but now... seeing that her nephew was so badly hurt, she was definitely worried about him more.

However, since he was already injured, Abigail was more curious about the other matter now.

Her gaze landed on Minerva with suspicion. "What does this matter have to do with her? When did you meet her?"

She steered the topic to Minerva? Minerva sighed in her heart. She felt that this was unavoidable. However, Maddox's face grew dark so she figured that she should be the one to explain it.

Thinking of this, Minerva gave a slight smile.

"Auntie Stark, Mr. Yardley is now a client of my company."

Upon hearing this, Abigail's eyes widened in surprise. Maddox was a client of her company? What did she mean?

However, Maddox on the other end of the room frowned after hearing Minerva's words.

"Client? What do you mean?"

Minerva said softly, "I have a design company. Mr. Yardley has issued an order in our company."

Hearing this, Abigail finally understood what was going on.

According to what she was saying, was it Maddox who got himself involved in this matter?

Thinking about it, Abigail realized that from the moment Minerva had pushed open the door of the ward, her nephew's eyes seemed to be stuck on her, but she had addressed him as Mr. Yardley, which she obviously found strange.

"Why have you changed the way you address me again?" At this time, Maddox asked discontentedly.

Minerva did not know how to answer.

She felt a little awkward but she didn't answer Maddox's question. She just looked at Abigail and smiled politely.

The atmosphere was tense. Maddox saw that she did not answer, so he simply called her, "Minerva."

Minerva blinked, then smiled and said, "Actually, Mr. Yardley got injured because he was saving me, so during his hospitalization, I had been here to take care of him."
