Vera and Kelly, who were sitting there, saw this scene. They were so scared that their faces turned pale. Their eyes were wide open, staring in disbelief.

Everything happened so suddenly that even Minerva did not expect that her heels would suddenly break at that time. Furthermore, there was nothing around her that she could grab onto for support, so she fell uncontrollably to the side.

She thought that she might hit her head on something, so she subconsciously reached out to protect her own face and head.

However, just as she moved her hands, she was held by someone firmly.

In the next second, she fell into Maddox's arms.

Vera and Kelly were stunned into silence; it was as if their shocked expressions had stopped in time.

Minerva thought that she would end up getting hurt badly, but she didn't get hurt at all. Instead, she fell into a warm embrace. Maddox's strong, masculine aura had completely wrapped around her. His hand that was clutching her wrist also then gripped her waist. Then, he grabbed her chin with one hand and lifted her head up.

"Are you okay?" His voice was anxious and his face was pale as he seemed to be frightened.

Minerva's fear was still lingering. Her heart throbbed as she shook her head subconsciously.

"I, I'm fine."

Maddox stared at her for a long while. Then, he suddenly stretched out his hands and pulled her into his embrace.

Bang!

Just at this time, the stage's lighting in the audience area was turned off again for the sake of the lighting effect and the surrounding area was plunged into darkness.

It was very quiet all around. It was so quiet that Minerva could hear her own heartbeat and she could also hear the heartbeat of the other person.

She was held tightly in Maddox's arms and the heat from his body passed on to her, surrounding her with warmth. Maddox tightened his arms and held her closer. He was so strong that his embrace almost crushed her bones.
