Maddox's gaze was icy cold. The nurse could not help but shiver. She wondered if she was mistaken.
However, when she took a closer look and realized that Maddox was holding onto the woman's hand tightly, she instantly reacted.
He had his girlfriend by his side; no wonder he was happy.
Hence, the nurse acted as if she did not notice anything and turned around to do other things.
When they arrived at the hospital, Maddox was pushed into the emergency room as the wound on his back was too serious.
Minerva couldn't enter the emergency ward, so Maddox was forced to let go of her hand.
He stared at her and said, "Wait for me." He was pushed into the emergency room before she could agree.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtBang! The door of the emergency room was closed.
Minerva stood there for a while before she slowly turned around and walked away.
The company must be in a mess at this tand someone needed to deal with the matter regarding Janice. Maddox had already arrived at the hospital; he would need to be properly treated first. There was no point for her to stay there.
Hence, Minerva quickly returned to the company. The police had already arrived and Vera was reporting the situation to them. When Minerva arrived, she began describing what happened to the police. "Miss Hanover, we understand the overall situation, but we still need the victim's and your cooperation to make a report at the police station. If the patient's injury is too serious, we can discuss this after he wakes up. As for the culprit you mentioned who deliberately hurt the victim, we will check on the video and investigate it further." There was no expression on Minerva's face. "The video is the evidence but I'd like to ask someone to take custody of her right now. She still has sulfuric acid with her and I'm worried that she'll hurt people again." In that case, it meant that Janice was a relatively dangerous person. The policemen looked at each other and nodded after they understood the situation.
"Okay, we got it." "Thank you for your hard work." She saw Quill and Vera when she cout of the police station. Vera stood beside Quill and said awkwardly, "This matter is too serious, so after sconsideration, I told your brother about it." Minerva didn't answer.
She was getting a headache as she might get lectured again.
As expected, Quill looked at her with a strong and cold gaze. "Was it because of him?" "Quill" "Cut him out of your life. You said that you would deal with this matter yourself, but now you are in trouble because of his problems. You were also almost splashed with sulfuric acid." "It wasn'twho was splashed by sulfuric acid. It was him. He is now in the hospital." "It serves him right." Quill said without empathy, "He was the one who caused his own troubles. He'll have to pay for it himself, but what about you? You don't know anything. Minerva, stop seeing this person." Minerva thought for a moment, she blinked her eyes and said, "Quill, he's in the hospital now. He's seriously injured." "That's his business," Quill said sternly. Suddenly, he grabbed her hand and said, "Cback hwith me. "Quill!" Minerva's expression changed. "I can't go back with you right now." Quill dragged her out. He couldn't help but turn his head when he heard this. He gazed sternly, "What's the matter? Do you still want to see him at the hospital?" "Yes!" "You!" Quill's eyes narrowed. "Do you know what you're doing now? That man..." "I don't care what you're thinking right now, but he got injured because of me. I can't just leave him in the hospital like that. As a person... I can't be so heartless," Minerva said, flinging Quill's hand away with all her might. "Quill, I know that you care about me, but I'm no longer a child anymore. Even if you want to make up for what you owedback when I was young, you've done enough for the past few years. What you need to think about now is to take care of yourself. As for my life, I can handle it myself." "You were almost splashed by sulfuric acid. Is this what you mean by you handling it?" Although she flung his hand away, he went forward and stood firmly in front of her.
Vera becanxious as the situation intensified.
"What should I do?" She thought that it would be better if Quill could help to solve this problem, but she didn't expect that this matter would create a conflict between the siblings! "Both of you, stop arguing. You guys need to calm down a bit." Vera could only say a few words weakly. However, the siblings could not hear a single word.
"Of course I have my own way to deal with it and it wasn't poured onanyway. Even if I was the victim, I'd have my own way to deal with it!" It was the first tMinerva was fighting with her brother like this. He looked at her for a while and did not utter a word. At last, he only said a sentence of "It's up to you" and left.
Vera cried out, "Mr. Hanover!" She wanted to chase after him but she was worried about Minerva so she could only move her head to look at the both of them.
On the other hand, Minerva looked perfectly calm. She looked at the conflicted expression on Vera's face and made a decision for her.
"I'm going to the hospital to visit him. You can accompany Quill hfirst.11 "But Minerva, you're going alone? I'm a little worried about you..." Vera bit her lower lip. She was very hesitant. Minerva smiled faintly and said, "It's okay, I'm not the one who got injured. Hurry up and go." Vera bit her lower lip and asked Minerva to take good care of herself. After that, she chased after Quill. Minerva finally let out a sigh of relief.
If Vera was to stay and accompany her at this time, she might be under pressurex even more pressure After all, she had to go to the hospital and Quill was angry. If Vera goes back with him, then there might be someone who could speak up for her. Minerva then suppressed her emotions and got into the car.
In the hospital.

It had been a few hours since Minerva left the hospital to get things settled. The door of the emergency ward was already opened. Minerva went to the front desk to ask which ward he had been sent to. After the nurse told her the room number, Minerva went to search for his room. There was only Maddox alone in the cold and lonely ward.
When she walked toward the door, Minerva saw him sitting there with a cold expression.
His face couldn't be seen clearly under the dimly lit light and he looked gloomy.
Minerva pursed her lips and let out a light cough before she walked in.
As he heard her voice, Maddox's eyelashes trembled slightly. Then, he looked up at her and fixed his eyes on her slender body.
"Didn't I tell you not to leave?" Minerva didn't know how to answer.
This man was easily irritated. How could he still remember that at this moment?
She could only go forward to explain, "The company was in chaos and Janice has hurt someone: Thave to make a trip to the police station to make a report, so..." "Are all of these more important than me?" Maddox suddenly asked as if he was in a rage.
Minerva was stunned and she couldn't move her legs.
