Perfect Mysterious Husband novel Chapter 517

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 some water. 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 with me to get some water."

Upon hearing this, Maddox pursed his lips and released his grip on her.

After she was released, Minerva could finally go and pour him some water. 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 some water again. Minerva turned her head back and stared at Maddox. She said, "In the future, don't try to trick me like this again. I've already told you that I don't have time to come over. 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-time caretaker. 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 came up 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.
