Perfect Mysterious Husband (Maddox and Kimberly)

Chapter 487

Minerva kept quiet.

He didn't want the pillows she got for him; instead he wanted her to sit and become his humancushion.

"F*ck, he must be dreaming!"

Minerva complained in her heart but she did not resist. Since her legs were covered with soft pillowsand there were also pillows on her back, it was not uncomfortable for her to sit like this. Hence, shejust let him lean on her like that for a while.

In fact, it was not comfortable for Maddox to lean like that either. At least it was much better thansitting straight up. Plus, every breath he took was full of the smell of this woman.

He felt perfectly satisfied.

The ward was quiet for a moment. Minerva looked down at the back of the young man in front ofher. He was lying face down on his stomach, so she could see his back easily.

Minerva closed her eyes as she thought of the wound she saw earlier in the afternoon.

She stopped herself. "I'd better not think about it anymore. I'll just sleep.”

She was ready to let him lay on her like that for the whole night, so she simply leaned back andtilted her head. She closed her eyes and soon, she fell asleep.

Maybe it was because what happened earlier was too terrifying. Hence, not long after Minerva fellasleep, her dreams were filled with the images of Maddox rushing over to block the sulfuric acid forher.

In her dream, Maddox was hurt much more badly than he actually was in reality. That had scaredMinerva badly. She was so nervous that she broke out in a cold sweat and opened her eyesabruptly.

Her breathing was a little rapid. Minerva found that her back was wet, but the ward was particularlyquiet. Minerva looked down and found that Maddox was sleeping soundly on the pillow placed onher legs.

Minerva didn’t dare to disturb him. She turned her head slightly to look at the watch on her wrist. Itwas already past three o' clock in the middle of the night. Was it already so late? But it was still longbefore the morning came.

She looked down at Maddox again.

From her point of view, she could see the shadows of his long eyelashes around his eyes under thelight. Because of his injury, Maddox's face was a little pale; even his lips were bloodless. He sleptthere like an extremely fragile patient.

Looking at him, he was so fragile. However, interestingly, he could still manage to use his own injuryto make her stay.

"Maddox, what on earth are you trying to do?" She thought.

Using such a tactic to make her stay there. Just lying on her, he already showed such a satisfiedexpression.

People that have no knowledge about their relationship might have even assumed that he wasextremely in love with her.

However, if he really liked her so much, then why did he throw the divorce agreement to her fiveyears ago and refuse to see her even just once?

Minerva closed her eyes tiredly when she thought of that. It was as if she had fallen into a painfulmemory.

She genuinely did not want to experience all that one more time in her life.

Maddox had already woken up the moment the first ray of sunlight appeared in the morning.However, he did not move. He remained in the same position.

When he woke up in the middle of the night, he found that she was sleeping soundly, so he had satup for a while and observed the quiet face of the woman.

It was strange. Although it had been five years, the woman's appearance was not worse than that offive years ago. On the contrary, she was more confident than before, so there was a new sense ofpride between her eyebrows. It was fascinating.

Later, Maddox even secretly kissed the corner of her mouth.

However, because the wound was really painful, he couldn't continue it.

He didn't lay back on the woman's pillow until dawn. Then, he laid back to enjoy the feeling again.

If only she could be as quiet as she was when she was asleep, in real life. Then, he wouldn't beexperiencing such a headache during the day.

Unfortunately, this was impossible.novelbin

While thinking about it, Minerva moved a little. Then, she slowly woke up.

"Are you awake?" Maddox's deep voice could be heard.

Minerva lowered her head, only to discover that Maddox was staring at her with a face aslant. Thelook in his eyes was so gentle that it looked as if it was flooded with love. Minerva held her breath

and nodded in a daze.

However, soon after, she came back to her senses and avoided Maddox's eyes. She whispered,"Get up."

Maddox did not get up as Minerva had instructed. Instead, he waited for quite a while before gettingup.

"I don't feel comfortable sleeping like this." He couldn't help but complain.

Upon hearing this, Minerva frowned. "Do you think I felt comfortable?"

She wanted to stand up and go to the bathroom, but when she stood up, she realized that shecouldn't stand up as her legs were all numb.

Minerva's expression changed and her pink lips moved. In the end, she looked a little funny so shesimply sat there without moving.

"What's wrong?" Maddox asked with a frown.

"What do you think?" She answered angrily, "You have been sleeping on my legs for the wholenight. I can't move my legs at all now."

The night before, Maddox thought about his intentions of sleeping on her lap but he did not think ofthe numbness at all. However, when he saw that she could not even stand up as she sat there, hisheart ached for her. He frowned and said, "I'm sorry. I should have thought of it earlier."

Looking at his apologetic expression, Minerva felt that she could not bear to be mean. She thenonly said, "It's nothing. You're the one who got injured on my behalf. I owe you this."

Upon hearing this, Maddox became unhappy and his frown deepened.

"So you stayed here with me for one night just because you think you owe me?"

Minerva quickly replied, "Or else, what do you think?" However, after she said that, she realized thatsomething was wrong and she suddenly raised her head.

Sure enough, Maddox's eyes and expression had become very disappointed.

Minerva cursed inwardly. She explained herself in a hurry, "I don't mean to blame you. What I meantwas that now that you're injured, I have an obligation to take care of you."

She then no longer mentioned that he got injured because of her, just in case he stirred up troubleagain, using this matter.

Hence, she kept her mouth shut.

Let him recover first.

However, Maddox did not speak. Instead, he stared at her with his pair of dark eyes.

"I have let you sleep on my legs for the whole night; they are already numb. Are you really going toget mad?"

Maddox paused for a moment. When he saw the helpless and aggrieved expression on Minerva'sface, he suddenly realized that he had gone too far. He suppressed his emotions and said, "No."

Then, he raised his hand and placed it on Minerva's leg, wanting to give her a massage.

Minerva's expression changed drastically. She quickly reached out to hold his hand down and said,"What are you doing?"

"What do you think?" Maddox grabbed her with the other hand, and lifted her hand up. He thencontinued to massage her leg gently with the other hand.

Her legs were numb, mainly because the blood flow was blocked, so with his massage, it wouldmake her feel better faster.

He didn't do anything that crossed the line, only massaging her legs carefully. Minerva feltembarrassed and she wanted to push him away, but the serious look on Maddox's face made herfeel that she was thinking too much.

Suddenly, Minerva let out a cry of surprise as she thought of something.

"Your injury... Didn't the doctor say that you shouldn't do anything that could potentially tear thewound?"
