Perfect Mysterious Husband novel Chapter 662

"20 minutes?" Maddox's tone was clearly a little upset. Minerva had no choice but to explain hurriedly, "I was passing by the supermarket and wanted to buy something along the way. Since you're already at my doorstep, can't you wait for me for a moment?"

"Which supermarket? HI pick you up."

"There's no need for that!" She frantically rejected his offer.

If Maddox tried picking her up, she would be exposed. Minerva took a deep breath and tried to calm herself down.

"You don't have to pick me up. I just need to run a quick errand. If you're tired of waiting, you can go back to your place first. I'll go look for you later."

After she said this, Maddox remained silent for a very long time before finally agreeing.

"Alright."

After hanging up the phone, Minerva let out a sigh of relief. She clutched her chest and felt her heart palpitating.

Wouldn't she feel guilty as time passed if she continued lying?

But right at this moment, how could Minerva dare to tell Maddox the truth? Knowing his temper, if she told him she was in the hospital, he would definitely rush over. If he found out she was there to see Benedict, things would become even more complicated.

Although she knew she shouldn't have come to see Benedict, she couldn't bear to be that cruel.

Therefore, she told herself, as soon as she confirmed with the doctor that Benedict's life wasn't in danger, she would return home immediately.

"Miss Hanover, do you still have work now?" Justin couldn't help but ask her when she walked over.

Upon hearing this, Minerva glanced at him, "No, it's from home. Why?"

"Nothing. I just felt bad if I knew you came all the way here even though you had work to do," Justin smiled and then couldn't help saying, "By the way, do you have a boyfriend?" "Justin's question is a little strange, isn't it?" She wondered.

"What?"

"You don't even know if Mr. Benedict is doing okay. Isn't it kind of inappropriate to ask me this right now?"

Minerva's gaze was piercing. A chill ran down Justin's spine and he broke out in a cold sweat as he saw it. He smiled awkwardly and wiped the cold sweat from his forehead. "Haha, I- I'm just trying to make small talk. After all, I don't know what to talk about. I'm sorry if I've offended you. I won't bring it up again."

Minerva finally withdrew her gaze and looked at the ward ahead.

The atmosphere was silent and awkward. Justin looked over at her distant side profile, but he did not dare to speak.

All they could do was wait. Some time passed and the doctor finally came out.

"Which one of you is his family member?"

Minerva stood where she was and did not move. Justin waited for a while before he had no choice but to step forward.

"Hello, doctor. I am a friend of the patient. His family is not here. You can tell us instead."

"The patient is suffering from gastroenteritis. He's fine now but well keep him in for observation. If everything is fine, he can get discharged later tonight. A young man like him should pay more attention to his diet."

"Okay, thank you, doctor. Ill let him know."

After the doctor left, Justin was about to step into the ward. After a few steps, he realized there was no movement from the person behind him. He couldn't help but turn his head to look at Minerva.

"Miss Hanover, don't you want to go in?"

Minerva smiled and said, "Since he's fine now, I won't go in."

"But..."

"Thank you, Justin. Please take good care of Mr. Benedict. I have something to attend to at home so I'll be on my way now."
