Perfect Mysterious Husband (Maddox and Kimberly)

Whatever, he should let her deal with it herself.

The woman he loved was definitely capable of handling her own matters.

Although he didn't want her to wear herself out, he knew Minerva could be very stubborn. If he were to force her, she would do the opposite of what he wanted.

Therefore, if Maddox wanted to help her ease her burden, he could only do it behind her back.

After getting into the car, Minerva put on her seatbelt and fell into silence.

Although she kept finding excuses for herself, she was still haunted by Sylvia's incident the entire afternoon.

One shouldn't make someone else suffer for their mistakes.

If the person involved had not been Sylvia, Minerva would have found the girl to be incredibly pitiful as it was not her debts but her father who had made the mistakes.

Although Sylvia was the one who had tricked the man into paying her debts but to her, there was no better solution. She could only make use of her own body.

The image of Sylvia getting tortured by multiple men flashed in Minerva's mind and she felt a headache at the back of her head.

All of a sudden, she had trouble breathing.

The car stopped at the side of the road then a hand reached out and covered her forehead. "Are you okay?" The hand was wide and warm as if it had pulled her out of the darkness and back into the light. Minerva suddenly opened her eyes and grabbed his hand as hard as she could as if her life depended on it. "Maddox!" She called out Maddox's nand turned to look at him.

He was looking at her worriedly. His dark eyes were filled with concern and anxiety, nothing else.

Minerva did not know what she was thinking at this moment. But she blurted out as if her brain was not in control of her mouth.

"I want to see Sam." Maddox's eyes narrowed. After a while, he moved his hand and gently stroked her face.

"All right." He guessed that something had happened but if she wasn't willing to tell, he wasn't going to force her either. Now that she had voiced out to him, Maddox had no choice but to agree to her request.

He turned the car around. Then, he called Sam and asked where he was.

Sam was dealing with Sylvia at the moment. Minerva told him not to tell Maddox about it, so he was extra cautious. Yet, Maddox was calling him to ask about his whereabouts all of a sudden. As soon as he heard Maddox's request, he knew that something was wrong.

Sam dared not lie to Maddox openly so he faltered. "Young... Young Master Yardley, I am dealing with a private matter right now." "Private matter?" Maddox raised his eyebrows and asked coldly. "What is it? Why are you so hesitant?" "Young Master Yardley, I'm afraid that..." Sam mumbled.

"Report your location toright now." "Young Master Yardley," Sam felt cornered.

"Sam, since when... have you started hiding things from me?" Even though Maddox's tone sounded bland, for sreason, Sam felt a chill run down his spine and he felt goosebumps all over his body. After working for Maddox for so long, what he was fearful of the most was the way he looked awfully calm and expressionless Speople show their rage on their faces. However, Young Master Yardley was the kind of person who would make others inexplicably fearful and suppressed despite him seemingly not being upset. Minerva couldn't stand listening to the conversation any longer. She glanced helplessly at Maddox. "I told him not to tell you. He promisedfirst, so he has to keep the promise." After explaining, Minerva raised her voice and said, "Sam, it's me. Where are you now? Send us the location. We're coming over." "Young Madam?" Hearing Minerva's voice, Sam breathed a sigh of relief and stopped stammering. He then quickly agreed to send them his location in an instant.

After hanging up the phone, Maddox had mixed feelings.

Wasn't Sam his assistant? Why did it seem like he wasn't able to order him anymore? Just as Maddox was deep in thought, Minerva suddenly asked, "You're not upset, are you?" Maddox cto his senses and said in a low voice, "No, I'm not. There's nothing to be upset about. Sam is my assistant and it's only right that he listens to you." Minerva kept quiet.

Was she thinking too much? She had an odd feeling about his words.

But Sam was Maddox's assistant, after all, so Minerva tried to put a good word for Sam, "I asked him to keep it a secret. Although he is your assistant, he is not the kind of person who doesn't keep his promises. If you want to blanyone, blme." "What nonsense are you talking about?" Maddox glanced at her helplessly. "It's not like he was following someone else's command, he was following yours, why would I be upset about that?" It was only when they arrived at their destination that they realized they were at a mental hospital.

Minerva had mixed feelings when she read the signboard that said mental hospital. She had guessed if Sylvia was suffering from a mental illness, but now it seemed that... it was just as she had guessed. Because of what happened to her, she was suffering mentally.

"Young Master Yardley, Young Madam.

Sam cup to them. He initially hadn't intended to bring Sylvia to the mental just sas she was En person and she had harmed Young Madam in the past He wanted to take her somewhere and let someone watch over her every move for stime. e. then, they would let her go as long as they were sure she wasn't faking her illness and she didn't have any other bad intentions towards Young Madam.

However, the conversation with Young Madam in the afternoon changed Sam's mind. Young Madam was a particularly kind person. Even if Sylvia was her rival, she had suffered enough hardship. Although he did not intend to help her, he thought he should at least bring her here. "Sam, how is she?" "Young Madam, she's inside. She was throwing a fit earlier and the doctors had no choice but to give her a sedative. She's asleep right now." Minerva bit her lower lip lightly. "She's asleep? Then can we go take a look at her?"

Hearing this, Sam hesitated for a moment before discussing with the said that he cpeople inside. After that, he cback and said, "You can have a look, back and but you should do it from the outside in case she wakes up all of a sudden and tries to hurt you." "Okay, thank you." Minerva walked in quickly. Naturally, Maddox was worried about letting her go in alone, so he followed her.

As he walked past Sam, he complimented him.

"Well done." His voice drifted into his ears. His tone was light but the words were sharp like a knife.

Sam subconsciously swallowed a mouthful of saliva.

Young Master Yardley was actually praising him for doing a good job? Why didn't it sound like a compliment? Was he purposely being sarcastic? Had he offended Young Master Yardley badly in actuality? All of a sudden, Sam's emotions were thrown into turmoil. But he quickly followed behind them regardless.
