Female Novel
Chapter 505
Her Facebook messenger app rang again and Vera's thoughts were interrupted. She suddenlyregained her senses and shook her head hard.
What was she thinking about? How could Quill fancy her?
Looking at Quill's appearance, he seemed to be quite the conservative type. Otherwise, he wouldn'thave been still single until then. How could she, a girl without anything, catch his eye?
After all, even when Juliette was so outstanding, Quill didn't fancy her.
As for Vera, how would it even be possible? What merits did she have, that could possibly makehim like her?
Thinking of this, Vera suddenly became more upset and she picked up her mobile phone tocontinue texting.
"That's impossible. Your brother would never like someone like me."
"How would you know if you haven't tried? Besides, haven't you already kissed him? You can goone step further next time."
Upon hearing this, Vera suddenly felt that Minerva was a scheming woman. She had indeed put in alot of effort for her brother's future.
However, Vera was too embarrassed to continue talking to Minerva. She could only put her phoneaside, turn her body around, and sprawl her limbs across the bed.
She felt a little troubled.
In the end, she decided that she might as well close her eyes and stop thinking about the matter.
The next day was the day of the court trial. Of course, Minerva, as the witness of the scene, couldnot be absent. She washed up early in the morning, changed into a presentable suit and then puton a trench coat before going out.
Before leaving, she told Beanie to eat well at school and that she would pick him up personally afterschool.
Minerva hadn't personally picked Beanie up in a long time. Naturally, he agreed happily afterreceiving such a promise.
She went to the hospital first and when she arrived at the door of the ward, she heard theconversation between Abigail and Maddox.
In addition to that, there was another voice.
Minerva stood at the door of the ward and saw what was happening inside through the small glasswindow.
Abigail sat calmly on a chair. Maddox had a cold expression on his face. In front of him, stood awoman who was dressed in expensive clothes. Minerva had been in the circle long enough to beable to tell that the woman was wearing luxury goods.
She looked anxiously at Maddox, as if she was trying to explain something. Her hands moved alongas she spoke.
After thinking for a while, Minerva could guess who she was.novelbin
Janice's mother, Samantha, was probably the only one at this age who would come to the hospitalat a time like this.
She didn't know how long they would be discussing for, so Minerva didn't go inside. Instead, shewaited by the door.
However, Maddox's eyes were cold all along. He didn't want to hear the nonsense that Samanthawas spewing. He was determined to punish the woman who had deliberately tried to hurt them.
When Minerva appeared at the door of the ward, Maddox's attention was instantly drawn to her.While Samantha was still talking, Maddox stood up and walked towards the door to leave.
Samantha and Abigail were stunned for a moment, and then trailed after him.
Watching his hurried steps, Abigail was a little surprised. Samantha looked at her doubtfully, butAbigail spread her hands out in a look of confusion, showing that she didn't know what was goingon.
Maddox's voice became gentle as soon as he opened the door. Abigail could guess the reasoneasily.
"Why are you standing outside the door? Come in," Maddox looked at Minerva standing against thewall. Was this woman stupid? She stayed outside even when she'd arrived. She was just standingthere. How long was she even planning to do that?
Did this person have x- ray vision? When Minerva had looked at him just now, he wasn't evenlooking in her direction at all. How was he able to find her there?
Maddox could easily guess what she was thinking when he saw her surprised expression. His thinlips curled and he said, "There's no need to guess. Our hearts are connected. We are telepathic."
Minerva was rendered speechless.
She wondered, "Was he able to read minds?"
However, she did not have time to think longer. Maddox had already taken her by the wrist andbrought her into the ward.
He already had no intentions of listening to Samantha. After bringing Minerva in, he directly orderedher to leave, "I won't change my mind. You can go now."
She was still an elder after all. Yet, Maddox had behaved so impudently that Minerva couldn't helpbut frown. Although she felt that Maddox's behavior was a little too over the line, Samantha haddeserved it for not disciplining her daughter.
Her daughter had committed such a terrible crime. Yet, she did not feel any regret on her behalf,and still wanted to shelter her.
Therefore, Minerva didn't say anything. She merely stood there with a blank expression on her face.
Samantha immediately panicked when she heard Maddox's order for her to leave.
"Maddox, don't do this. I came here today to sincerely apologize to you. Janice did indeed commit aterrible crime and it's all because I didn't teach her well, but she's a girl after all. If she goes to jaillike this, she'll suffer a fate worse than death!"
Minerva's lips twitched but even then, she did not speak her mind.
Maddox snorted and said, "Don't you think that the state I am in now is also worse than death?"
After Maddox had questioned her, Samantha said with a distressed tone, "I know that you are nowsuffering a thousand times more than she is, but there are always times when people makemistakes. Janice was indeed too impulsive this time. As long as you are willing to forgive her, Ipromise that it won't happen again. If it does, I will be the first to punish her as her mother. But...This time, please give her a chance to correct her wrongs."
Those words were extremely moving.
Minerva carefully studied Samantha and found that she was way more rational than Janice.
Of course, it couldn't be forgotten that perhaps she was merely putting up an act to save herdaughter.
Samantha must have noticed Minerva's gaze and turned to look at her. In the end, her gaze landedon Maddox's hand, which was holding her hand. She suddenly thought of something and looked atMinerva. "You, you're that woman?"
Minerva was stunned for a moment and then she slowly pulled her hand back.
Just as she was about to retract her arm, Maddox's grip suddenly tightened and he grabbed herwrist tightly. He did not want to let go of it.
This action was enough to explain everything.
All of a sudden, Samantha placed her hope on Minerva. She suddenly walked towards her.
"I heard that Janice intended to throw acid at you and it was Maddox who had blocked it for youwhich is why he's so badly injured now. So in essence, she had intended to hurt you, so you shouldbe the one that I must apologize to. I'm sorry. I apologize to you on behalf of my daughter. She's justtoo young and ignorant. Can you forgive her this time?"
Minerva's lips twitched as she looked at Samantha who was trying her best to save her daughter.
She was also a mother, so she naturally understood what Samantha was feeling.
Thinking of this, Minerva couldn't help but glance at Maddox.
Perhaps it was because he knew what she was thinking, Maddox finally let out a sigh,
"Do you have any thoughts?"
