Perfect Mysterious Husband novel Chapter 874

Seeing Maddox like this, it would be a lie for Minerva to say that she was not distressed. Her expression changed drastically. She charged in and turned off the shower.

Minerva bent down and touched Maddox's shoulder, only to find that his whole body was cold. After being under the cold water for such a long time, coupled with the drug's effect, he must be in great pain.

His clothes stuck to his. body; Minerva could only clumsily unbutton him. She took off the coat that had become heavier after being soaked in water.

It would still be alright if he kept drenching himself in cold water, however, he would have to stay there until the next morning.

It was winter, and if he decided to continue on until the next morning, he would be frozen to death.

"Take off your coat and try to move your body," The soaked jacket was very heavy; it took Minerva great effort to move Maddox's shoulder.

Maddox, who had been motionless this whole time, finally opened his eyes. He looked at her dully and said, "Didn't I tell you not to come in?"

He sounded weak and a little shaky.

Minerva didn't even have to raise her head to feel that his gaze was as deep as a wolf hiding in the dark. She didn't look into his eyes but repeated her words.

However, Maddox still did not move; He slowly raised his hand and clasped her wrist. "Do you know how hard I had been trying to endure?" He said in a hoarse voice.

Minerva raised her head in shock, "l-l know..."

Of course, she knew.

She had been drugged in the past so she naturally knew how painful it was to endure and because of that, she didn't want him to suffer alone.

"You know?" Maddox squinted his eyes; a dangerous glint emerged. He tugged on her wrist with some force and Minerva uncontrollably fell onto his chest, "Since you know, why did you still come in?"

Minerva nervously blinked her eyes a few times, bit her lower lip, and said, "I'm worried about you."

After that, she lowered her eyes and pursed her thin lips as if she was making a major decision. After a while, she raised her head again and looked at him, "I want to help you."

Maddox's breathing turned heavy when he heard that. He gritted his teeth and looked at her, "What did you say? Say it again!"

He looked terrifying that moment as if his gaze alone could swallow her whole. Minerva subconsciously tucked her neck, but when she saw his pale, thin lips and restrained expression, she could only suppress her fear and take the initiative to approach him.

"I know you're uncomfortable, but it's winter now. You'll get sick if you soak yourself in cold water the whole night." She said.

Maddox saw that she was getting closer and closer. She wore only a set of pajamas and even though Maddox had previously told her to put on a jacket, she was soaking wet from the time he had kissed her. Now the fabric had stuck to her body, accentuating her curves.

She needn't do anything. Just standing in front of him was enough to make Maddox unable to restrain himself.

Now, she said she wanted to help him, looking like this.

How much restraint would he have to be able to reject her? Maddox's eyes were dark like midnight. He raised his hand to hold the back of her head and said in a low and hoarse voice, "Are you sure?"

Minerva nodded without hesitation, and Maddox's kiss fell on her lips.

His icy cold and heavy lips landed on hers.

However, Maddox quickly moved away, his gaze fixed on her, "It's still not too late to say no."

Minerva pursed her red lips and reached out to unbutton his shirt.

Her action had already said everything.

His Adam's apple rolled up and down as he looked at her movements. There was only darkness left in his eyes.

It seemed that he wouldn't be able to escape tonight.

That night, when Maddox carried Minerva in his arms, she wrapped her arms around his neck; her ears were so red that they looked as if they were stained with blood. She whispered into his ear, "Be gentle."

Maddox kissed her earlobe and replied gently, "Okay."
