Female Novel
Chapter 510
Why did she come back?
In Minerva's impression, it was not the first time someone had asked her that question.
It seemed that many people would ask her such a question after knowing what had happened in thepast.
Why did she want to come back?
This was where Minerva grew up. She left five years ago and changed both her first name andfamily name.
Now that she felt like she could face all of this, she wanted to come back. Was there anything wrongwith that?
Minerva silently looked up at Janice on the opposite side of the bars. "Does my return haveanything to do with you?"
Why did so many people want to ask her about it? She wanted to come back, so she came back.
"Did you do it for him?" Janice bit her lower lip and asked reluctantly. "You are so cold to him. Youdidn't come back because of him, right?"
Minerva's lips moved. "What does this have to
do with you?"
"Of course it does," Janice was still not satisfied. "If you don't like him, I may still have a chance, butif you came back for him, then I really don't have any chance at all."
Minerva remained silent.
Minerva really admired her. After doing those things, she was still thinking of Maddox. She said witha smile, "Your mother said that you had repented and wanted to apologize sincerely to me? Is thisyour regret?"
"My regret is different from my love for him. It's my fault for splashing you with acid, but I was underthe impression that you really snatched him from me, so I did an unforgivable thing to you. I regret itsincerely.
I want to apologize to you, but..."
"But you still don't want to give up on him and think you still have a chance?"
Janice's worries were exposed and she did not deny it. She just lowered her eyes and her head.
"I really like him. I know that you are his ex-wife, but if you have no feelings for him, you have togive others a chance, don't you? This matter is my fault. I sincerely regret it and I apologize to you.I'm sorry!"
As she said this, Janice stood up and stared
at Minerva seriously. Then, she bowed deeply at the waist and apologized to her.
Minerva was quite surprised. She had thought that it would be very difficult for this person toapologize but she did not expect her attitude to be so good. Was it because she knew the truth thatshe changed so quickly?
How did this person grow up?
This matter had originally been done for Auntie Stark's sake. Now that Janice was willing toapologize like this and sincerely reflect on herself, it was also good for Minerva.
At least, this matter would not make things difficult for her.
"You won't target me again after we get out of here, right?" Minerva asked.
Upon hearing this, Janice was stunned for a moment and then shook her head.
"Although I hate you, I'm not an unreasonable person. I thought you did it on purpose, so I wantedto teach you a lesson. The acid concentration was not very high either. It was diluted. Otherwise..."
Upon hearing this, Minerva narrowed her eyes. "You still think that you've done a good deed bydiluting the acid?"
Janice curled her lips and said, "No, I just
checked and said that the diluted acid was not so horrible, so..."
Minerva was speechless.
Minerva really didn't know what else to say to her. She closed her eyes. "Even though I've forgivenyou, you've still injured Maddox after all. You have to learn your lesson."
"I know," Janice lowered her head. "This is my fault. I really know that I was wrong. If I dare attackyou again in the future, let me be struck by lightning. By the way, I will stay here to think about it forone more day."
"I hope you'll keep your word," Minerva said, pursing her red lips. She then stood up. "If you haven'tsincerely regretted it, then it would've been a waste of your mother's efforts. Also, I'm not going toforgive you. I just... feel sorry for your mother."
After saying that, Minerva turned around and left.
Janice was still sitting where she was and pondered over what Minerva had meant. Only then didshe react. Could it be because her mother went to plead with Minerva that she was touched?
After Minerva left, she returned to the hospital with Maddox.
Abigail probably had something to do, so she smiled as she let them go back first, and then enteredagain with Samantha.
Minerva asked about his wound after sending Maddox back to the hospital.
"There's no need to keep asking about my wounds. If you're willing to take care of me, my woundswill heal quickly."
Minerva remained silent.
She glanced at Maddox silently and then began to pack up her things. She said, "I have alreadyfinished dealing with the things here. Your wound..."novelbin
"I'm feeling better so you're leaving?" Maddox watched at her hands as she packed up her things."Or do you think that the woman is no longer a threat, so you're going to stay away from me?"
Minerva's hands paused as she tidied up her things. Then, she turned around to look at him.
"No. You're thinking too much. I just need to pack up my things first."
"In the beginning, you planned to take care of me when I was injured. When I can move freely, youwould leave, wouldn't you?"
Minerva pursed her lips and stared quietly at Maddox.
This was indeed her way of thinking, but Maddox was obviously more difficult to deal with than shehad thought. Hence, she didn't know if she should go straight back to the company.
She thought for a while and tried to speak as tactfully as possible.
"That's not the case. It's just that I still have a lot of things to deal with in my company. You knowwhat my company is doing. I've spent a lot of time taking care of you recently and the company'saffairs have piled up like a mountain. Your condition has improved, so I naturally have to go back tothe company to deal with things there."
"What if you're done dealing with them?"
She had avoided the main concern, but obviously, Maddox didn't intend to let her go. Instead, hekept asking her persistently.
Minerva had no idea how to answer such a question.
She could only smile. "There are a lot of things to do and I'm afraid it won't be finished in a shorttime."
Maddox's gaze was as sharp as a knife as it landed on her body. Minerva couldn't help but take astep back and cough softly. "I'll come and visit you regularly."
As soon as she finished her words, Maddox said, "As long as I don't recover from my injury, youwon't leave?"
Minerva was confused and asked, "What?"
"Is that so?" Maddox repeated the question as if he was confirming the answer. "Is that right?"
She didn't know how to answer.
Minerva took a deep breath and looked at Maddox seriously. "I have made it very clear. What elsedo you want? If you ask me like this, will I feel that you want to threaten me with self-abuse?
Maddox, if you really dare to do this, I won't even spare you another glance even if you die!"
She said what she wanted to say first in case Maddox really abused himself. The look andexpression in his eyes made her have a bad feeling.
Maddox had only wanted to ask her about it and did not think about hurting himself. However, whenhe saw how she was staring at him nervously, his thin lips could not help but curl up again.
