Female Novel
Chapter 495
After hanging up the phone, Minerva came out of the bathroom and found that Maddox hadreturned to his place and was sitting down. When he saw her come out, his deep eyes fell on herface, staring at her.
Minerva was irritated by the searing heat of his gaze.
It seemed that the man really didn't know what he had done. Why did he have to go on a blind datewith that woman?
Even if he had gone on the date, he should have gone nicely. Even if he was really together withthat woman, Minerva would not object at all.
But why did he have to come and provoke her again?
Now with such a crazy person on the loose, she felt that danger was everywhere.
Everyone would be afraid of people like Janice who went to the extreme. She poured acid on heronce. What's to say that she wouldn't hold a knife against her in the future?
Minerva didn't want to die and she didn't want to get hurt either. Even more so, she didn't wantanyone around her to get hurt.
That was because in her mind, something like that would have never happened originally!
However, things had spun out of control.
Minerva raised her wrist to look at the time. She decided to chat seriously with Maddox.
She took the initiative to walk over to Maddox and then sat down in front of him.
"Maddox, let's talk."
It was rare for her to speak in such a benign tone. However, Maddox had a bad feeling about it. Hepursed his lips and said unhappily, "If you're trying to push me to someone else again, then there'snothing much to talk about between us."novelbin
After that, he turned his head and back against Minerva.
Minerva said, "When have I ever said such things?"
"Then what do you want to talk to me about?"
"It's about you and Janice."
Maddox frowned and said, "You said you were not going to push me away."
Minerva said, "I just want to tell you that I am the target of her hatred. Although you are injured, I amstill not, so she will continue to plot against me. I can be sure that the person I saw just now washer. She must have come to this hospital just now."
Hearing this, Maddox finally understood her words. "Since when have you become so afraid ofdeath?"
Minerva's thoughts were interrupted by Maddox's words. She turned her head and looked atMaddox. There was no mockery in his eyes but his words were hurtful.
"It's not because I'm afraid of death. It's because..."
She was afraid that it would affect the people around her, especially Beanie.
He was the closest family member she had. It would be a terrible thing if Janice learned of hisexistence.
As such, she had to get Maddox to settle the matter with Janice.
"Because of?" Maddox continued to ask.
What was the reason?
She couldn't tell him the reason so Minerva simply turned her head away. "No reason. Just treat itas if I'm afraid of death. Also, I'm afraid of pain. I don't want anyone to pour acid on me anymoreand I don't want to be stabbed either. It's as simple as that."
As soon as she finished speaking, Minerva felt Maddox move a little and then he held her hand.
Maddox wrapped her hand with his palm and said in a low voice, "Whether or not you're afraid ofdeath, I won't let you get hurt."
"Maddox..."
"Haven't I already protected you with my body? Think about it. I will never let her hurt you again."
"Then how are you going to deal with her?" Minerva frowned. "The police are already
looking for her, but now she's still..."
"Huh," Maddox chuckled. "Then I'll assist the police in finding her."
Upon hearing this, Minerva was finally relieved. As long as Maddox was willing to do it, then...Janice would definitely be captured.
For everything else, it would have to wait until she was caught.
As soon as Maddox took action, Janice was arrested quickly and brought by the police to the policestation.
It was said that when she was brought in, she had a knife on her.
Upon hearing this news, Minerva felt a chill run down her spine.
Janice really didn't give up.
Because Janice was arrested, the police had to check with Minerva and Maddox about what hadhappened at the scene, as well as getting someone to testify for the trial.
Vera, who had been waiting for Janice to be caught, had already packed up the evidence. OnceJanice was caught, she handed in the evidence directly.
There were surveillance camera footage in their lounge, which had recorded everything thathappened there that day.
This was the most explicit evidence. Vera also found those socialites who had caused troubletogether that day to testify. Because the evidence was conclusive, Janice was directly detained.However, in order for her to be convicted, she had to be brought to court.
Before Minerva could act, Maddox had already found her the best lawyer in North City.
Judging from Maddox's expression, he was hoping that Janice would be able to be sentenced to theheaviest punishment.
Minerva didn't object. If she still cared about Janice at a time like that, then there really wassomething wrong with her mind.
After all, the sulfuric acid had indeed spilled on Maddox. How could Janice not be softhearted atthat time? That was why... being soft-hearted to the enemy would just result in being cruel to one'sself.
Janice was arrested.
Minerva's heart was finally at ease and Maddox's injury was recovering bit by bit as time went by.
His wound was very serious and he still needed to undergo reconstructive surgery, otherwise...
However, the doctor said that even if he had reconstructive surgery, there would still be a long andugly scar on his back in the future.
Minerva felt particularly guilty about that.
Scars were different from other things. They would remain with you as you age and wouldaccompany you until you die.
"If you really feel sorry for me, you can stay by my side 24/7. Take it as your repayment for yoursins."
Maddox's teasing voice came from behind. Minerva was stunned for a moment before she frownedand glared viciously at Maddox.
"What's wrong? You don't want to?" Maddox raised his eyebrows.
"The court will hold the trial in a few days. You've hired such a good lawyer. You are hoping for herpunishment to be as heavy as possible, don't you?"
"So what if I do?" The warmth in Maddox's eyes had disappeared when she mentioned Janice.Instead, it was replaced by an endless coldness in his eyes. Even the smile on his lips carried a hintof viciousness. "If someone has any intentions to hurt the woman I love, then they'll have to pay."
The woman he loved...
Minerva was shocked by his words.
Realizing that her heart was beating faster, Minerva pretended that she had not heard these words.Instead, she asked, "She's your blind date and she's a beautiful and young lady. Do you really havethe heart to do that?"
Maddox stared at her seriously then said, "Other than you, no one else is important to me."
Minerva said, "Then what about the person who introduced you to the blind date?"
As soon as she said this, Minerva saw that she had successfully stunned Maddox. She smiledfaintly, turned her head and said, "It turned out that my guess was right. You don't like her, but youwent on the blind date anyway. There could only be one reason why you still went. That is, youaren't able to refuse the person who asked you to go. Let
me guess, it was Dr. Abigail, the doctor I met before, right?"
