Female Novel
Chapter 573
Their hearts are linked? Did he really think of her as a silly? Did he just make up a random reasonto lie to her?
Regardless of that, Maddox's expression didn't seem to change much. Minerva walked up to hisdoor and observed it for a long time, but she still didn't find the camera she was looking for.
After searching for a while, Minerva suddenly felt that she was being ridiculous. Since he dared totell her that their hearts were linked and denied having a camera installed at her house door, itmeant that he had already planned in advance.
Perhaps it was a micro camera. If she looked for it with her naked eyes right then, she probablywouldn't be able to see it.
Thinking of that, Minerva looked at Maddox, who was leaning against the door and asked, "Is it amicro camera?"
Maddox stared at her with his thin lips pulled into a straight line; he didn't answer her.
Minerva also stared at him. The two of them stared at each other for a long time before Minervasuddenly turned around, "Forget it. I don't think I can get answers from you. Since you don't want tosay it, I won't ask."
After saying that, Minerva reached out and pressed for the elevator. After waiting for a long time, thedoor of the elevator slowly opened and Minerva entered the elevator directly.
After entering the elevator, she did not even look at Maddox's expression. Instead, she immediatelyclosed the elevator's door.
As the door of the elevator slowly closed, Maddox, who had been leaning against the wall, suddenlymoved and rushed in with his tall figure.
The elevator door closed at the same time he reached inside.
Minerva was surprised; she stared at him and asked.
"What are you trying to do again?"
"It's too dangerous outside," Maddox said coldly, "You can't go out alone."
He was frowning as if he was worried about her. However, Minerva felt that him always clinging toher was quite funny.novelbin
"Aren't you overthinking things? Since you've been following me in such a manner, I don't thinkthere will be any danger lurking around."
Maddox fell silent.
Those words seemed to be quite reasonable and he found that he had no way to refute them. Histhin lips moved. After a while, he moved closer to Minerva and chuckled, "That's good then."
Minerva was puzzled.
Did he mean that he was going to stick with her to the end?
Moments later, Maddox asked, "Where are you going?"
"It's none of your business," Minerva replied.
Minerva leaned against the elevator and stood with her arms crossed. Her face looked quite pale asshe stood there. After recovering from a high fever, she wanted to go out since she felt a littleenergetic. However, after the stand off just now, she started to feel dizzy again and she couldn'tstand still. Hence, she could only rely on the wall of the elevator to support her.
However, she didn't want to show any signs of exhaustion or weakness in front of Maddox.Otherwise, he would definitely follow her.
Thinking of that, she took a deep breath and added, "I have something to do. Don't follow me.
Maddox turned to look at her from the side. When he saw that Minerva was putting all of her weightonto the wall of the lift, he couldn't help frowning.
Why was that foolish woman so stubborn in front of him?
However, after thinking about it, it made sense. She had always been stubborn.
Thinking of that, Maddox smiled, "I'll send you there."
Upon hearing that, Minerva turned him down coldly, "There's no need. I have my own car so I don'tneed you to send me."
Maddox didn't reply to her and the elevator fell into silence again.
After a while, the elevator stopped.
When the elevator doors opened, Minerva straightened her back and walked out of the elevator withgreat difficulty.
After a few steps, she felt very dizzy. It was probably a side effect of the high fever.
The night before, when she came out of the bathroom after showering, she stared blankly at thebalcony and was exposed to the cold wind for quite a long time before going to sleep. Also, she wasquite absent-minded the night before and she didn't even dry her hair.
However, she didn't expect that she would catch a fever when she woke up.
Minerva didn't know what happened later either, but she could vaguely remember a few fragmentsof it. Vera trying to wake her up and her opening the door for Maddox. After that, Maddox evencarried her upstairs and did everything he could to lower her temperature.
The rest was history.
Of course, she knew that she couldn't force herself to drive in her current state. If Maddox wasn'tthere, she might have gone back to her house immediately.
After all, she treasured her own life.
However, since Maddox was there, for some reason, she did not want to show her weakness infront of him.
She would only think about going back if Maddox left.
Minerva stopped in her tracks when she thought of that. Then, she turned around and looked atMaddox, who was following behind her.
"You can go back," Minerva said gently. It was rare for Minerva to speak in such a gentle manner toMaddox, so he walked up to her.
"You really don't want to see me that much? You clearly know that it's dangerous, but you still don'twant me to be with you?" Maddox said.
Minerva replied, "Don't you have tasks to deal with? Since your company is so big, you can'tpossibly stay with me 24 hours a day, can you? If you continue to do so, won't I be the beauty whocaused the downfall of your company?"
As soon as she finished speaking, Maddox leaned over. He looked deep into her eyes, as if toswallow her as a whole, and said with a low and hoarse voice.
"Don't doubt it. You deserve to be the beauty who brings bad luck to my company."
Maddox wasn't sure if others liked Minerva's casual look or not, but he loved it very much.
As their breaths mingled, Minerva's heart missed a beat. She subconsciously took a step back toput some distance between herself and Maddox.
Her ears became a little hot. She then turned her face and said, "I have to go to the company todeal with some matters. There must be a lot of things in your company to deal with, right? So... Weshould part ways, right?"
Maddox did not answer; he just stood there and stared at her motionlessly.
Minerva thought for a moment and took it as an agreement. She took the car keys and walked tothe side of her car. As soon as she opened the car door, a figure flashed over and took the car keysfrom her hand.
Before Minerva could react, Maddox had already seated himself in the driver's seat.
Minerva asked, "What are you doing?"
"You just recovered from a high fever. You can't even walk properly and you want to drive? Do youwant to die?" Maddox replied.
Minerva said, "That would be my problem, wouldn't it? Besides, I know best if I can drive or not."
Maddox raised his head when he heard that. His eyes were filled with icy coldness and his thin lipsmoved slightly.
"Do you want to have a car accident?"
"What?" Minerva was puzzled.
"If you want to die, let me accompany you. You drive and I'll take the passenger seat," Maddoxreplied.
Minerva fell silent.
She widened her eyes as she was shocked by his crazy words. The color on her lips faded a littletoo.
"What nonsense are you talking about?" Minerva asked.
Maddox scoffed, "It looks like you still know how to fear death. Get in the car."
She froze and did not move. After a while, she said, "You're going to send me to the company?"
"How could I watch you drive there by yourself?"
Maddox asked.
After thinking for a while, Minerva finally went to the other side and got in the passenger seat.
