After rushing from the traffic lights, Minerva continued to speed up. She was afraid that the car behind would catch up with her again.
"Slow down. Make a turn in front."
"What's next?"
"Stop the car and wait for me at the intersection."
Minerva did what he said. After stopping the car, she let out a sigh of relief. She raised her hand and tried to wipe away the cold sweat on her forehead.
Only when she raised her hand did she realize that her palms were sweaty.
She was stunned for a moment but managed to smile with a pale face after.
She was really timid that such an incident would terrify her. If Maddox didn't save her that day, what would she do?
Thinking of it, Minerva closed her eyes and wiped the cold sweat off her forehead.
Knock, knock...
At that moment, someone knocked on her window. Minerva's hair stood up as she was still in a state of shock.
Minerva turned her head and saw a figure standing outside the window. Only then did she feel a sense of relief.
She unlocked the door. Maddox opened it and bent down to stare at her.
"You're not coming out?"
Looking at Maddox right in front of her, Minerva's lips moved. "I..."
"Are you frightened?" Maddox narrowed his eyes. From the corner of his eyes, he saw that her hair was soaked with sweat.
Seeing this, Minerva raised her hand to wipe the sweat off her forehead.
"Come out and catch your breath."
He raised his hand to help her and she slowly walked out aided by him. Her legs were a little weak. When she got out, she fell forward into Maddox's arms.
He could smell her scent. He wrapped his arms around her waist and helped her to a nearby cafe.
Minerva was exhausted, Maddox had to support her while they walked into the cafe. The air outside was much better. He ordered a cup of warm milk and told her to drink it.
Perhaps she was still in shock, but her hands were trembling slightly as she held up the cup.
"Drink it slowly." Maddox reached out to hold the cup for her. He patted her back gently with one hand, coaxing her as if she was a child.
When the people in the cafe saw it, they couldn't help looking at them with curiosity.
Minerva must have been scared out of her wits. Only after she finished the milk did she gradually calm down. Scanning the area, she closed her eyes and said, "There are too many people around so let's go back."
He pursed his lips and nodded.
"Alright."
Seconds later, he picked her up and went out of the cafe.
Maddox ignored the gaze of the crowd and placed her on the passenger seat. Then, he fastened the seat belt for her.
Maddox couldn't help but say, "Now, do you realize the danger that I mentioned? Let's see if you still dare to run out alone."
Minerva couldn't say a word.
He went to the driver's seat. Minerva leaned on the back of the chair feeling powerless and closed her eyes.
She was at a loss, at first. Now that Maddox was by her side, she felt at ease.
She felt a sense of security as long as Maddox was with her; he would protect her no matter how dangerous it was. He would not let her get hurt at all.
She didn't know what to do with him.
She didn't want to have any more connections with him, but he appeared every time she needed somebody. Her heart and world were filled with him.
Just a moment ago, there was no reason for her to refuse.
She... couldn't refuse.
Maddox drove the car steadily while her thoughts drifted away. Very soon, she was in dreamland.
Han Minerva had a nightmare.
