Thinking of this, Minerva scrolled through her contact list. However, she realized that there was not a single person she could call.
She could not call Quill. Once he found out what had happened to her recently, he would forcefully bring her back to the Hanover home to live with him.
If she called Vera, she wouldn't know what to do and probably would end up asking Quill for help.
Calling Vera would be the same as calling Quill.
Who else could she call? Should she ask Maddox for help?
Minerva biting her lower lip in a dilemma.
All of a sudden, her cell phone rang.
Minerva took a look; it was Maddox calling her.
Why was he calling her?
Could it really be like what he said, that their hearts were aligned?
At the thought of it, Minerva trembled as she answered the call.
"Hello?"
"Go to places with surveillance cameras. Avoid blind spots and narrow paths." Maddox's deep voice transmitted into Minerva's ears like an electric current.
Minerva held her breath, thinking whether she heard him wrongly. Her lips trembled slightly. How did Maddox know that she was being followed? Where was he hiding?
Thinking of this, Minerva wanted to turn her head to take a look.
Maddox ordered quickly.
"Don't look back."
Minerva was frozen in her tracks.
"Do as I say."
When Minerva found out that she was being followed, it would be a lie if she wasn't afraid. After everything that had happened, it was obvious that whoever was behind this held a deep grudge against her. It was likely that she had been followed around for the past few days already.
After all, she had been with Maddox for most of the time. The moment they were separated, she was being followed. What did it mean?
After hearing Maddox's instructions, she finally calmed down.
"Stop the car on the right. Turn to the other intersection later."
Minerva didn't reply. She only nodded and followed Maddox's instructions.
She did not say anything but nodded. Somehow, she thought that he would be able to see it.
Maddox frowned and said, "Answer me."
Minerva replied, "What's wrong?"
"When I talk to you, remember to constantly respond."
"Got it."
After a while, Minerva glanced at the rearview mirror and noticed that the black car was still following her close behind.
She took a deep breath and asked softly.
"What should I do next?"
There was no response from Maddox. The silence was terrifying. Minerva blinked her eyes and called out in a low voice, "Maddox?"
He was still analyzing the roads, so he did not have time to talk to her. He heard her called out his name in such a gentle manner.
Instantly, Maddox felt an electric current run through his heart and he felt numb.
He had a complicated expression as he pursed his thin lips. When they were in bed, why didn't she talk to him like this? If she did, then he...
Maddox's throat tightened when he recalled the scenes from earlier. He looked at the space between his legs, pinched the throbbing spot between his eyebrows and said softly, "I'm here."
Hearing his reply, Minerva could not help but bite her lower lip and complain.
