His gaze was burning hot and the back of Minerva's head felt numb from his stare. She could only reply curtly, "If you don't have anything else to do today, you can rest. I'll go back first." "So early?" Maddox looked at the tand said, "Please stay withfor a while." Such a natural tone made Minerva anxious.
Just a second ago, he had a serious look on his face as he questioned her. And just a moment later, he becrelaxed, as though he had beca completely different person. How could he change his mood so quickly? Minerva quietly muttered a few words in her heart. After which, she said, "That won't do. I have smatters to attend to this afternoon. I need to return first." "What is it?" Maddox asked, but Minerva's heart skipped a beat.
She promised to pick Beanie up from school that afternoon. When Minerva thought of Beanie, she felt that his face was almost identical with Maddox's.
Thinking of this, Minerva coughed lightly and said, "It's not a big deal but I still have to go. You take care of yourself in the hospital first. I'll cand see you tomorrow when I'm free." "What about my dinner? If you don't come, won't you even givedinner?" His question was laced with grievance.
Minerva thought for a moment. There didn't seem to be anyone in his house who could cook. It wasn't practical to ask Sam to bring him food. A big man like Sam would probably only know how to buy bread? No, that's not right, Minerva thought as she shook her head.
How could she confuse herself? Maddox cfrom a prestigious family and there was a first-class chef at home. How could he worry that there wouldn't be anything to eat? Thinking of this, Minerva said, "Letthink about it first. If I'm free, I'll bring you sfood." She then picked up her bag, turned around, and left quickly.
After leaving the ward, Minerva heaved a long sigh of relief.
Fortunately, she escaped quickly. If she hadn't cout, Maddox would have asked the next question. What if she didn't have time? At that time, she would have to think of another excuse.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThat was too terrifying.
Thinking of this, Minerva quickly left the hospital.
At school.
There were quite a few people at the entrance. Minerva raised her hand to look at the ton her watch. There was still five minutes before school was over, so she would have to wait a little longer. After nearly five minutes, the bell signaling the end of school finally rang.
Then a teacher and a group of children cout of the class in a long line.
Because there was no guarantee of safety, the teachers there would recognize the parents of the children's family. Names would be called out and whoever is called would cout from the line. Minerva's too eyecatching in the crowd. The teacher saw her as soon as she cout. Then, she smiled slightly and said, "Beanie, your mommy is here to pick you up today." Minerva hadn't cto school many times, but because she was very good-looking and Beanie was very popular at school, the teacher had a deep impression of Minerva.
Beanie was called. He poked his small head out of the line and looked outside.
His eyes met Minerva's. Beanie's instantly becexcited and then ran over to Minerva.
"Slow down, don't fall." Seeing this scene, the teacher quickly reminded Beanie, fearing that he would fall down. However, after so many days, Beanie finally saw Minerva cto pick him up. In the past few days he had only seen Auntie Vera. Although Beanie liked Auntie Vera very much and they were very close, he was still the closest to his mother.
Therefore, Beanie ran very fast and soon arrived in front of Minerva.
Seeing him run, Minerva grew nervous so she had to quickly squat down to catch him. Beanie threw himself into her arms. It seemed that Beanie put forth all his strength, but when Beanie cto her, he suddenly held back his strength. When Minerva squatted down in her high heels, she didn't fall back.
Beanie wrapped his arms around her neck and said, "Mommy, you're finally here." "Yes, didn't I keep my promise?" Minerva reached out and pinched Beanie's soft palm. "Yes!" Beanie nodded furiously.
"Let's go!" Minerva stood up and held Beanie's hand. "We'll go to the supermarket today." It was rare for her to have time, so Minerva decided to bring him to the supermarket to treasure the tthey could spend together.
The mother and son walked while smiling. When the people around them cto their senses, they found that they were stunned.
"In a while, we'll just buy sgroceries and go home. Then I will personally cook dinner for you, okay?" The two went straight to the supermarket nearby. The supermarket was not far from their house and it was quite large. They could arrive on foot after just a while of walking.
The two of them bought all sorts of ingredients in the supermarket, probably because they were happy. Minerva decided to make a few more dishes at night, so she bought a lot of things.
When she finished shopping, she suddenly remembered something.
She handed the phone to Beanie with a smile.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"Call your uncle and ask him to cover for dinner tonight." Hearing this, Beanie raised his head but did not reach out his hand to take her phone.
Instead, he asked doubtfully, "Mommy, why don't you call uncle yourself?" The smile on Minerva's lips froze. She poked Beanie's cheek a little awkwardly and asked, "What's wrong? You don't even want to helpgive uncle a call?" Beanie shook his head. "Mommy, did you anger uncle? Don't you dare to call him?" Those words caused Minerva to swallow.
She had really angered Quill.
That was because Quill did not agree with her interacting with Maddox. However, recently, she had been m going back and forth from the hospital because of Maddox's injury. There were so many things going on every day that she could not attend to Quill's thoughts at all. Now that things had calmed down, Minerva thought about what she had said to Quill before and realized that it was indeed too much.
He was her elder brother, her strongest backing.
When she had been badly hurt in the past, she had relied on him until now.
However, she had turned back and taken care of the man who had broken her heart. It was no wonder Quill that angry. Thinking up Minerva pursed her thin lips. She could not make up her mind for a moment while holding her phone. "Mommy, if you don't dare to call, I'll call uncle for you. After that, you have to take the call yourself." Minerva said, "Then forget it." She smiled and wanted to put her phone away. She decided to send a message later to check on him.
However, she didn't expect that Beanie would actually be angry. He goutte om pouted and said, "Mommy, you are bad Uncle is usually so nice to you, but you don't even want to give him a call." After that, Beanie leaped out of the shopping cart and said, "I don't care about you anymore." Then, he ran forward. He was so fast that Minerva didn't have tto stop him. Before she could react, Beanie had disappeared.
Minerva was stunned for a few seconds before she helplessly curled her lips into a smile. This little brat...
