Perfect Mysterious Husband novel Chapter 720

Initially, Hodge had a smile on his face, but upon mentioning Belford Ocean, he frowned as he said to Minerva.

"That area is hazardous. The locals won't go close to that area, not to mention the currents there are very turbulent. If you accidentally fell into the water, you might not even get back up even if you're a good swimmer."

She was dumbfounded.

She bit her pale lips. She reached out her hand and trembled as she hugged her knees. She muttered, "Sir, then what's going to happen to the tide after such a huge thunderstorm? Is it going to be more dangerous?"

Hodge nodded and said, "That's for sure."

After that, he seemed to realize something. "Why are you here in the middle of the night? Also, why do you want to head there?"

He only noticed how pale and drained of color Minerva's face was through the rear mirror. It was as if she was about to be frozen to death.

He stuttered for a moment and said, "I think you shouldn't go there. I'll send you to the nearest hotel. I'm afraid you won't be able to stand the cold if you continue on your way."

She shook her head and said firmly, "No, I'm heading there."

He was speechless.

What was the matter with this girl? Hodge stared at her for a moment. Something was off about with her. She was in her pajamas as if she had escaped during the night.

After giving it some thought, he cleared his throat and said, "Alright, the customer is always right. I will try my best to help you fulfill your request."

"Thank you."

After thanking him, Minerva lowered her head and couldn't help but close her eyes. She was exhausted. She didn't know if it was because she was soaked in the rain. Her eyes were drooping, and her vision began to blur.

After what felt like a century, the car finally came to a stop.

As soon as the car stopped, she raised her head and looked out of the window.

Minerva's vision was blurry. She vaguely saw a glimmer of light in front of her. Her lips opened as she asked, "Sir, have we arrived?"

Hodge froze for a while and then explained, "Not yet. I'm just passing by here, and I have to run some errands. The place you're heading is right ahead. We'll be there in ten minutes. I'll go out to buy something. Wait for me for a while."

"Okay."

She could only agree. After watching the driver leave the car, Minerva swept her gaze across the scenery outside the window before borrowing her head between her knees again.

She felt dizzy. She wondered how Maddox was doing. Was he as uncomfortable as her?

If she could, she really wanted to be with him.

Unfortunately, she didn't even know where he was currently.

Minerva laid down. She thought she had been waiting long enough, so she got up again and looked out of the window. She was surprised to see Hodge standing not far away and talking to someone.

And the man he was talking to was in a police uniform.

A policeman?

Minerva thought her eyes were playing tricks on her. After all, her vision was very blurry. But... Would her eyes deceive her?

Minerva reached out her hand and rubbed her eyes. She placed her hands on the glass window and stared at them seriously.

Through the rain, she finally saw it clearly.

It was not an illusion. Hodge was talking to two officers.

Minerva raised her head, and her expression changed.

This was... the police station!

Why did Hodge take her to the police station? He wasn't going to buy things, but...
