After Vera called the ambulance, she turned her head and saw that Janice was still standing there. She suddenly thought of something and she quickly called the police, reporting that someone there had deliberately used sulfuric acid to hurt people.

After hanging up the phone, Vera glared at Janice and yelled, "You are such a vicious woman. You could fight with words or actions but you prepared sulfuric acid? Are you cold blooded?"

Janice was stunned knowing that she had hurt Maddox and she couldn't react.

"I have already called the police. When the police come, you can talk to them!"

"Called the police..." Janice slowly regained her senses. "No, you can't call the police... I can't go to the police station, I can't!" She was the daughter of the Lowell family. Her reputation had always been very good. If she was to get involved with the police, her reputation would be ruined.

Janice sprang to her feet and stumbled to walk out. Vera went forward and grabbed her to stop her from escaping. "Where are you going? Do you think you could still run away?"

"Let me go!" Janice was very anxious and struggled to escape. She couldn't be caught by the police, she can't lose her reputation. Janice was strong enough to break free very quickly.

Vera wanted to chase after her, but she turned around instead as if she had thought of something, "Minerva, Janice has run away. What should we do? Should we ask someone to chase her back?" Minerva creased her brows as she heard what Vera told her. Was it important to chase her back at this time? The most important thing at that moment was to deal with Maddox's wound. Minerva then replied coldly, "Don't worry about her. Come in and help me."

"Oh, okay." Vera reached out and wanted to push the door open, but it couldn't be opened. "I can't open the door. Please open the door lock."

Minerva had been focusing on washing Maddox's back with cold water. She was puzzled when she heard that. Did she lock the door when she came in just now? Why couldn't she open it? Minerva raised her head and looked at the door. When she wanted to go over and look at the door lock, Maddox pushed against the door with his hand.

"You..."

"Don't open it." Maddox's voice was filled with the pain of suppressing it.

Minerva frowned and said, "Why? I need an extra hand."

Although he was in unbearable pain, Maddox still didn't say a word and he was still staring at her. "Do you think other than you, I'd let any other woman see me like this?" Minverva was speechless.
