Chapter 581

Unknowingly, Minerva's fears had dissipated in an instant.

Maddox rubbed a piece of dried serum from her chin and swiped the tip of her nose. "What's this?"

Fine, she didn't wash her face thoroughly. Minerva was a little embarrassed but she didn't answerMaddox's question. Instead, she turned her face away and looked at the mess on the dining table.

However, before she could see clearly, Maddox had already stretched out his hand to cover hereyes.

"Don't look at it. I'll send you upstairs first. You can rest for a while."

After saying that, he didn't wait for her answer. He just picked her up and carried her upstairs.

The more afraid she was, the more curious she became. Minerva couldn't help but want to take alook at the dining table. As if he had already expected this, Maddox grabbed onto her head andasked, "Why do you want to look at it? Don't look at it if you're scared!"

Maddox brought her back to the room and placed her on the soft bed.

"Stay here and don't worry. I'll call you when I'm done."novelbin

After finishing his words, Maddox left the room.

After he left, Minerva blinked in a daze. She laid down on the large bed and hugged the quilt.

All this time, Maddox had been really nice to her.

But... Just who would play such a prank on her?

Judging by the recent events, the dead rabbit from the first day, as well as the dead rat from thatday's meal, it was probably done by the same person.

However, the man who had delivered the box suddenly committed suicide. On the surface, it lookedlike a suicide, but whether he actually did it was still a mystery.

As for the people who had followed her the other day, when they were hiding in the dark andlistening to their conversation, they didn't sound cautious at all. However, why did they suddenlyreturn using the same route? It was as if they were being ordered by someone.

However, who was this person?

Who had she offended...

Minerva's mind was in a mess. She had no idea what was going on downstairs. After a while, sheslowly fell asleep.

When she woke up again, she could smell the aroma of food.

Han Minerva opened her eyes and sat up. She immediately saw Maddox sitting by the window.

"Are you awake?" Maddox heard the noise and stood up. He walked over to her and said, "The foodis ready. Get up and eat something."

Before she could react, Maddox had picked her up again and walked downstairs.

"You don't have to carry me all the time. I can walk on my own," Minerva said.

"Could you walk steadily?"

Minerva was rendered speechless by Maddox's words. When they reached the bottom of the stairs,sure enough, there were several sumptuous dishes on the table.

Although it looked scrumptious, most of them were nutritious and light, which was good for herhealth.

Minerva sighed in admiration at the chef's thoughtfulness, but at the same time, she was moved.

After all, Maddox must have ordered the chef to do this.

The mess on the ground had already been cleaned up and it seemed as if nothing had happenedbefore this.

"Where's the chef?"

Minerva looked around and realized that there was no one else around. It was only her and Maddoxin the house.

"She left already."

Maddox then filled up a bowl with soup and urged her to drink it.

There was too much food. Although Minerva was starving, due to the shock, she didn't have muchappetite at the moment. Therefore, she only ate a little.

However, Maddox coaxed her to eat patiently. It made her feel like she was a child.

In the end, she told him, "Stop asking me to eat. I can't have anything anymore. If you're doneeating, you can go back first. I want to be alone today."

Maddox set down his cutlery and pursed his thin lips.

"Aren't you afraid to stay at home alone?"

"As long as I don't open the door, I'm safe, right? Besides..." Minerva looked at him. "Didn't youinstall a surveillance camera at the entrance? You'll probably know if anything strange happens tome."

Upon hearing this, Maddox frowned and stared at her with displeasure.

"Do you really think that I have installed a camera at the door of your house?"

Minerva looked up and smiled. "No? Well, why don't you install one inside my house too? Or shouldI go to your house to look for the video so that you can prove your innocence?"

After that, Minerva put down the spoon in her hand and continued softly, "I know that you areunwilling to admit it because you are afraid that I will be unhappy. However, many things havehappened recently. I can understand why you did it, so even if there were cameras installed, I willnot blame you."

Maddox was a little surprised. How could she not blame him? He narrowed his eyes and looked atMinerva, trying to detect if she was unhappy.

"Thank you for doing so much for me today."

Maddox's tensed lips relaxed for a moment. He did not expect her to thank him. He suddenly feltthat what he had done over the past few days was worth it at that moment.

In the end, Han Minerva sent Maddox to the door and couldn't help but say something.

"You don't have to keep looking after me like that. It's not worth it."

She said this from the bottom of her heart.

Upon hearing this, Maddox turned around and looked at her meaningfully.

"You're the only woman in my life. If I don't look after you, who else would I look after?"

Minerva was speechless.

"Go to bed earlier. Call me if you need anything."

Maddox reached out and closed the door for her.

Bang!

The door separated the two of them. Minerva stood rooted to the spot, thinking about what Maddoxhad said earlier.

She was the only woman in his life...

Was he being serious... Or was it just a casual remark?

Judging from his recent actions, it didn't seem like he was faking it.

What about what had happened between him and Sylvia back then?

At that time, she chose to believe in him, but when she left later, he still did not give her anexplanation.

Han Minerva leaned against the door and slowly closed her eyes.

After a long while, she returned to her normal state and took out her mobile phone to call Vera.

"Vera, are you off work?"

"Oh? Minerva, I'm off work. I forgot to tell you that I'll go back to the Hanover family home withBeanie tonight... I thought about what I have said to you last night. I think it's better for me not to go

back for a while. Let's talk about it when you're done dealing with your relationship problems."
