Perfect Mysterious Husband novel Chapter 724

Benedict's demeanor was so frightening that his subordinate didn't dare refute. He could only nod dazedly.

"Yes, then I'll... investigate this matter immediately. It's just that... the Yardley Corporation..."

Benedict's gaze suddenly turned cold. "If Maddox's really dead, it'll be a piece of cake for me to take over the Yardley Corporation. Why do I need to worry if I'm late by a couple of days?"

What he said was indeed true. If Maddox was dead, he was no longer a threat to Benedict at all. Not only the company, but Maddox's child and wife might also become his at that time.

"Mr. Benedict, you're right. As long as he dies, the Yardley Corporation is yours. It will be yours in the next few days."

Benedict turned livid. "Why are you still here?" "Yes, I'll check on Miss Minerva right away." After the man had left, Benedict glanced at the contract that he was about to sign. His feline eyes narrowed slightly. Then, he picked the paper up and after staring at it for a while, his lips curled up suddenly.

"Maddox, is it because I am blessed, that this kind of thing has happened to you?"

Following that, Benedict tore the contract apart right away, with eyes full of mocking intent.

Maddox dying on his wedding day, that was great news for Benedict.

However... When he thought of Minerva, he frowned.

How was she doing? Was she depressed?

For the past two days, Minerva had been staying in the hospital to recuperate. After getting drenched in the rain that day, although she had regained consciousness, her condition had not improved much. Conversely, she was now running a high fever.

At first, she was still fully lucid although she had a fever. Her body temperature fluctuated.

The high fever had not subsided by evening. Because of that, Minerva blacked out and fell unconscious again. However, before that, she had been holding Quill's hand tightly and muttering.

"You must find Maddox. He'll be fine. Maddox..."

Her mind was occupied only with thoughts of Maddox. Quill, who was by no means a weak man, felt the pain from her tight grip on him.

While the doctor was treating Minerva, he noticed that she was gripping onto him and muttering to herself.

"This girl is clearly unconscious, why is she still so energetic?" The doctor asked out loud.

Quill glanced at her hand with a wry smile. For Maddox, she could give up her very life itself.

"Doctor, how is my sister?"

The doctor sighed, adjusted his glasses, and then explained gently, "To be honest, your sister is doing very poorly now. If her high fever doesn't subside, it will become lifethreatening. Plus, you're also aware that she's pregnant, so we have to be very careful when prescribing her with any medicine. So... My suggestion is to physically cool her down instead of giving her any medicine now. We can proceed once her fever has subsided."

Physical cooling?

Quill pressed his thin lips together. Although it was the best choice for Minerva now, he was still worried about the danger it would pose to her. After all, she was currently very weak.

However, it seemed that there was no other way.

At this thought, he could only nod.

Juliette, standing to one side, uttered, "I can do it. When my child had a fever and they didn't dare to prescribe him any medicine, they recommended the same thing. President Hanover, you have been taking care of Minerva for some time now. Go and get some rest. I'll take over from here."

Beside him, the doctor nodded in agreement. "That's right. She is familiar with the procedure so she can help us."

"That's right. You should go and rest," Juliette persuaded Quill.

He pursed his lips and shot a worried glance at the unconscious Minerva. He then nodded silently. When he got up, she was still clutching onto him tightly.

Seeing that, Juliette went forward to help.
