Chapter 748

The woman in front of him was indeed different from those women who had accosted him recently.Maddox thought.

The way she looked at him was full of sadness and there was no trace of panic at all. This feelingwas particularly real.

"Save me..."

Minerva was still asking him for help. The despair in her eyes was getting stronger and stronger.

The man, who used to be unwilling to let her suffer, is now standing aside and looking at her coldly.

Is it really like what Juliette and Quill said. "He doesn't recognize me?"

"But why doesn't he recognize me? Why?" Minerva thought to herself in despair.

Minerva couldn't help but shout, "I don't believe you don't know me. Something must've gone wrongduring the process. Let me go."

When Maddox saw her arms turned red because she was grabbed by those two men, his templestarted to twitch. He frowned and was about to ask them to let her go.

However, a deep male voice interrupted the conversation.

"I'm sorry to disturb you. My sister has mistaken him for someone else. We will take her back, canyou let her go?"

The two men who were holding Minerva also found out that she looked different from the otherwomen. They looked at Quill, who was well dressed and didn't look like a liar.

Therefore, the two of them let go of her.

As soon as Minerva was free, she walked towards Maddox. But she was caught by Quill.

"Stop messing around. Let's leave!"

"Quill, let me go. I'm going to ask him. Why wouldn't he recognize me? I don't believe it... Somethingmust've gone wrong. Quill, can you help me? No, I don't need you to help me. Let me go. I will askhim myself."

Minerva couldn't control her emotions anymore. The hypothesis he had made in the car was alreadyunbearable for her.

But now that she realized it was real and Maddox was still observing coldly from the sidelines.Minerva was on the verge of a mental breakdown.

Quill was very strong. Minerva was held back by him and couldn't go any further.

He raised his head and looked at Maddox.

Maddox also looked at him.

"I'm sorry. My sister got the wrong person. I apologize for the inconvenience caused on her behalf. Ihope that you wouldn't mind."

Maddox didn't reply.

He tugged at the corners of his lips and made a gesture with the meaning 'do as you wish'.

Quill pulled Minerva away. However, Minerva refused and kept struggling. She kept staring atMaddox.

"Quill, let me go. I have a lot of questions to ask him. Let me go..."

Her strength was no match for Quill. She could only watch Maddox getting further and further awayfrom her.

Maddox thought to himself, this woman must have really gotten the wrong person. Otherwise... shewouldn't be so crazy in front of her brother.

However, what does this have to do with him?

He turned around and stroded away.

He didn't know how far he had gone when he suddenly heard the woman crying.

Maddox's legs could not help but froze. He turned around subconsciously.

At this glance, Maddox saw the tears that had been suppressed by the woman started falling down.They were like raindrops, rolling out one by one.

She kept shouting, "No!" Probably because she was too emotional, she fainted. Then Maddox sawthe man who held her directly picked her up and got into a car.

"Mr. Sebastian, what are you looking at?"

The man behind him asked.

Hearing this, Maddox came to his senses and shook his head.

"Nothing."

He did not know why he stared at the woman for so long. He pursed his thin lips and it seemed likethe way she cried with those beautiful eyes had been imprinted in his heart.

Was it true? Did she recognize the wrong person?

"By the way, Mr. Sebastian, this is for you."

One of his men handed him a clean handkerchief.

Maddox frowned. "What are you doing?"

The man's face was full of fear. "Don't you have mysophobia? Usually, when someone touches you,you will feel uncomfortable. You must disinfect immediately. Did you forget? That woman shookyour hand just now."

His words made Maddox freeze on the spot.

Yes, the woman shook his hand but he didn't feel uncomfortable. At that time, there was a numbfeeling in his heart.

Not only that, he seemed to... took the initiative to pick up a pinch of the woman's hair and play withit in his palm.

Normally, he wouldn't behave like this.

Maddox frowned, he took the

handkerchief and wiped his hands.

The scene of tears falling from her beautiful eyes appeared in his mind again and it disturbedMaddox's mood. He threw the handkerchief away to his subordinates and said coldly, "Take itaway."

"Yes." The subordinate took it and said respectfully, "Mr. Sebastian, Master Collins asked for you."

Jarold Collins? Maddox nodded. "Got it."

The luxurious antique building was hidden in the bamboo forest.

This place was bought by Jarold Collins.

They were from Hidalgo before they developed to Averland. Thus, when he ordered people to buildthis place, it was built according to the style in Hidalgo.

From the drafting of the forging design to the finished product, Jarold had been keeping an eye onit.

Probably no one would have imagined that this private house of Jarold would have small bridgesand flowing water. Even the doors were the most traditional round arch doors.

Not only that, the roads were made of small stones. There was also grass between the cracks andall kinds of trees and plants were planted along the roads. There was an illusion of a summer resort.

This was the style Jarold personally loved.

Moreover, he would be present if there were any antiques in an auction house.

Anyone who knew the name of Jarold would know that his name would be associated with antiquesbecause he was an antique collector.

A tall and stalwart person passed by the bridge and the pebbled road. Then, he entered the house.

"Mr. Sebastian, you're back. Master Collins is waiting for you in the study room."

Although they were abroad, the servants in Jarold's place were all from Hidalgo. He had broughtthem here himself. They were all old people and confidants.

"Got it."novelbin

Maddox walked towards the study room and knocked on the door. A dignified voice sounded fromthe inside.

"Come in."

Maddox pushed open the door and walked in.

An old man with a cane was sitting on the mahogany sofa and was talking to the person who satopposite.

"Sebastian, you're here." Jarold pointed at the chair next to him, motioning for Maddox to sit down.

"Doctor Hayes will return to Hidalgo for a period of time. Before he leaves, he wants to see how youare recovering."

Doctor Hayes held a cup of tea in his hand and said with a smile, "Yes, my wife and children are allin Hidalgo. This time, I may go back for more than half a month. So, I took a detour to see thecondition of Mr. Sebastian. Recently... Have you felt dizzy?"

Maddox pursed his lips and shook his head.

When he just woke up, he would have a headache when he thought about the lost memories. Then,he would feel dizzy and he

would lose consciousness directly.

Recently, he has become calmer. So he rarely felt dizzy.
