Perfect Mysterious Husband (Maddox and Kimberly)

The whole room turned quiet the moment Vera spoke.

"No, it's okay, you all don't have to go. Assistant Sorrento can just givea ride," Quill then stoically said.

Upon hearing this, Minerva subconsciously looked over at Vera.

Her brother's words meant that there wasn't a need for her to go.

Vera's face turned pale and she stood still. She looked at Quill miserably. Tears were welling up in her eyes. She really wanted to send him off but from his words, she knew that he didn't want her to do so. There probably wasn't any hope for her to send him off.

Looking at her, Minerva, as a woman, felt unbearable for her. Quill then proceeded to take his luggage and did not even spare Vera a single glance. He then said, "Let's go." He walked out the door without looking back, as if nothing there would be missed by him.

Before Sam followed, he quickly glanced at Vera.

In the end, he sighed silently and then walked out the door.

It was probably better this way. If Quill was more heartless, then Vera might give up faster, Sam thought this in his heart.

Bang! It was only after the door slammed shut did Vera snap out of her daze. Her eyes were now red and she wanted to chase after them but Minerva stopped her. "Forget it, don't go." Vera's tears immediately streaked down her face. "Minerva, why?" She asked tearfully.

Why? Why was it that he didn't even allow her to send him off? Was it really impossible for anything to happen between them? Minerva wanted to say scomforting words to Vera seeing how distressed she was. If possible, she wanted to share sof her pain.

She couldn't even blher brother for how he treated her because feelings couldn't be forced.

As Minerva was thinking about how to console her, Vera pushed her away and stormed into her room. Minerva wanted to go after her but Maddox held her wrist. "Don't go." But..." "It's probably best if she can have stalone to calm herself down. After today, hopefully she'll feel better and be able to think things through." When she heard this, she looked at him in astonishment, "How did you know?" He smiled and once again reached out his hand to stroke her head gently. "Your brother's intention was obvious enough. If she still doesn't accept that, then she's asking for trouble herself." Saying that, he continued to stroke her head. Minerva felt strange and looked up.

She suddenly remembered that her brother did the sto her as well.

"What on earth are you doing?" She wanted to pat his hand away. She was already an adult but Maddox was treating her like a child.

"Covering it up with my own touch," She was speechless.

It was just as she'd expected. She grabbed his hand in anger and asked, "How is it possible that you're jealous of my brother? Isn't that just unreasonable?" He smiled; his dark eyes were filled with love for her.

In the next second, his face suddenly changed, and his face convulsed in pain.

"What's wrong?" Her face turned pale in an instant and her heart skipped a beat. He grabbed her hand and pressed his lips together, trying his best to maintain his composure. "I'm fine..." His headache worsened after she said that. He felt as if a thousand needles were piercing his head. Flashes of pictures flickered through his mind. The pain was so excruciating that he couldn't even stand up straight. Minerva had never seen him in such a state and he looked extremely pale. "What's wrong? Don't scare me. I'll call the ambulance right away." She thought of how Maddox fainted the last time, added on with the things that he had been doing recently, what if he was having a breakdown now? His head hurt so much that he couldn't even utter a word. However, he still held her hand tightly as if he was grabbing a life-saving straw. She didn't dare to leave him alone, so she quickly fished out her phone from her pocket and called an ambulance. "Argh!" He let out a groan when he couldn't stand the pain anymore and he fell to his side.

Her face changed. She didn't care about anything else and quickly reached out her hand to support him.

Crack! The cell phone fell to the ground with a loud sound. Minerva couldn't care less if the screen cracked as she had more dire issues at hand She pulled Maddox up to sit on the sofa Tears began flowing down as she saw how pale he looked.

"Did you remember something? If it's too painful, then don't think about it, alright? I'm not asking that you must get your memory back. I just want you to be safe." If something went wrong with his mind just because he wanted to regain his memories, she felt that it would be better for him to just forget about it for the rest of his life.

He felt a splitting headache. He felt cold as if he was in an icy cave. Suddenly, he felt a pair of warm hands grabbing onto him. Although the hands felt small, there was immense warmth in them. This... This is...

"I have already lost you once, and I won't lose you a second time." Splash! A bucket of warm water was poured on Maddox's head. Slowly, he began to regain his consciousness and got a hold of his surroundings. When he looked up, a drop of tear fell onto his face. This feeling of unfamiliarity caused him to instantly close his eyes.

Moments later, he grabbed Minerva's wrist.

"Don't cry." She was startled for a moment before pushing him away to take a good look at him. "Are you alright?" She asked in concern.

Maddox looked extremely pale at that moment. There was no color on his lips. There was also a layer of cold sweat on his forehead. It was clear that he felt intense pain earlier. However, even so, he still showed a comforting smile to the woman he loved and said softly, "Look at me, I'm fine now. What could go wrong?" She stared at him for a while. Then, she suddenly pounced on him and wrapped her arms around his neck, hugging him tightly.

"You really scared me! Just now, you..."

"My head just hurt a little. I'm fine now." He stretched out his hand and patted her shoulder gently. He was buth the one who was hurt but he looked calm while she looked shocked and distressed. They stayed in each other's embrace for a while until Minerva thought of something and pushed Maddox away. "No, I'm still worried about you. I have to call an ambulance." He stayed silent.

He smiled helplessly and said, "I'm fine now. Why are you calling an ambulance? To disturb us?" She replied, "But just now, you..." "I just thought of something. That's why I had a headache. Now, it's all over." While speaking, he pressed her hand and said wearily, "You don't need to call an ambulance. I'll go back to the room and rest for a while." After the splitting headache, he felt exhausted.

The reason why he suddenly felt like that could be due to his body being weakened from all the treatments he'd been receiving lately. He felt like as long as he closed his eyes, he would fall into a dark abyss.
