Chapter 482

Maddox's gaze was icy cold. The nurse could not help but shiver. She wondered if she wasmistaken.

However, when she took a closer look and realized that Maddox was holding onto the woman'shand tightly, she instantly reacted.

He had his girlfriend by his side; no wonder he was happy.

Hence, the nurse acted as if she did not notice anything and turned around to do other things.

When they arrived at the hospital, Maddox was pushed into the emergency room as the wound onhis back was too serious.

Minerva couldn't enter the emergency ward, so Maddox was forced to let go of her hand.

He stared at her and said, “Wait for me."

He was pushed into the emergency room before she could agree.

Bang!

The door of the emergency room was closed.

Minerva stood there for a while before she slowly turned around and walked away.

The company must be in a mess at this time and someone needed to deal with the matter regardingJanice. Maddox had already arrived at the hospital; he would need to be properly treated first.

There was no point for her to stay there.

Hence, Minerva quickly returned to the company. The police had already arrived and Vera wasreporting the situation to them. When Minerva arrived, she began describing what happened to thepolice.

"Miss Hanover, we understand the overall situation, but we still need the victim's and yourcooperation to make a report at the police station. If the patient's injury is too serious, we candiscuss this after he wakes up. As for the culprit you mentioned who deliberately hurt the victim, wewill check on the video and investigate it further."

There was no expression on Minerva's face. "The video is the evidence but I'd like to ask someoneto take custody of her right now. She still has sulfuric acid with her and I'm worried that she'll hurtpeople again."

In that case, it meant that Janice was a relatively dangerous person. The policemen looked at eachother and nodded after they understood the situation.

"Okay, we got it."

"Thank you for your hard work."

She saw Quill and Vera when she came out of the police station. Vera stood beside Quill and saidawkwardly, "This matter is too serious, so after some consideration, I told your brother about it."

Minerva didn't answer.

She was getting a headache as she might get lectured again.

As expected, Quill looked at her with a strong and cold gaze. "Was it because of him?"

"Quill" "Cut him out of your life. You said that you would deal with this matter yourself, but now youare in trouble because of his problems. You were also almost splashed with sulfuric acid."

"It wasn't me who was splashed by sulfuric acid. It was him. He is now in the hospital."

"It serves him right." Quill said without empathy, "He was the one who caused his own troubles. He'llhave to pay for it himself, but what about you? You don't know anything. Minerva, stop seeing thisperson."

Minerva thought for a moment, she blinked her eyes and said, "Quill, he's in the hospital now. He'sseriously injured."

"That's his business," Quill said sternly. Suddenly, he grabbed her hand and said, "Come backhome with me.

"Quill!" Minerva's expression changed. "I can't go back with you right now."

Quill dragged her out. He couldn't help but turn his head when he heard this. He gazed sternly,"What's the matter? Do you still want to see him at the hospital?"

"Yes!"

"You!" Quill's eyes narrowed. "Do you know what you're doing now? That man..."

"I don't care what you're thinking right now, but he got injured because of me. I can't just leave himin the hospital like that. As a person... I can't be so heartless," Minerva said, flinging Quill’s handaway with all her might. "Quill, I know that you care about me, but I'm no longer a child anymore.Even if you want to make up for what you owed me back when I was young, you've done enoughfor the past few years. What you need to think about now is to take care of yourself. As for my life, Ican handle it myself."

"You were almost splashed by sulfuric acid. Is this what you mean by you handling it?" Although sheflung his hand away, he went forward and stood firmly in front of her.

Vera became anxious as the situation intensified.

"What should I do?"

She thought that it would be better if Quill could help to solve this problem, but she didn't expect thatthis matter would create a conflict between the siblings!

"Both of you, stop arguing. You guys need to calm down a bit." Vera could only say a few wordsweakly.

However, the siblings could not hear a single word.

"Of course I have my own way to deal with it and it wasn't poured on me anyway. Even if I was thevictim, I'd have my own way to deal with it!" It was the first time Minerva was fighting with herbrother like this.

He looked at her for a while and did not utter a word. At last, he only said a sentence of "It's up toyou" and left.

Vera cried out, "Mr. Hanover!" She wanted to chase after him but she was worried about Minerva soshe could only move her head to look at the both of them.

On the other hand, Minerva looked perfectly calm. She looked at the conflicted expression on Vera'sface and made a decision for her.

"I'm going to the hospital to visit him. You can accompany Quill home first.¹'

"But Minerva, you're going alone? I'm a little worried about you..." Vera bit her lower lip. She wasvery hesitant.

Minerva smiled faintly and said, "It's okay, I'm not the one who got injured. Hurry up and go."

Vera bit her lower lip and asked Minerva to take good care of herself. After that, she chased afterQuill.

Minerva finally let out a sigh of relief.novelbin

If Vera was to stay and accompany her at this time, she might be under even more pressure. Afterall, she had to go to the hospital and Quill was angry. If Vera goes back with him, then there mightbe someone who could speak up for her.

Minerva then suppressed her emotions and got into the car.

In the hospital.

It had been a few hours since Minerva left the hospital to get things settled. The door of theemergency ward was already opened. Minerva went to the front desk to ask which ward he hadbeen sent to.

After the nurse told her the room number, Minerva went to search for his room.

There was only Maddox alone in the cold and lonely ward.

When she walked toward the door, Minerva saw him sitting there with a cold expression.

His face couldn't be seen clearly under the dimly lit light and he looked gloomy.

Minerva pursed her lips and let out a light cough before she walked in.

As he heard her voice, Maddox's eyelashes trembled slightly. Then, he looked up at her and fixedhis eyes on her slender body.

"Didn't I tell you not to leave?"

Minerva didn't know how to answer.

This man was easily irritated. How could he still remember that at this moment?

She could only go forward to explain, ''The company was in chaos and Janice has hurt someone. Ihave to make a trip to the police station to make a report, so..."

"Are all of these more important than me?"

Maddox suddenly asked as if he was in a rage.

Minerva was stunned and she couldn't move her legs.
