Janice Lowell?

The corridor was empty and there was no one in sight.

Minerva bit her lower lip and stared blankly at the back of Maddox's head.

Would he not believe her?

Just as she was deep in thought, Maddox entered the ward without a word. As he entered, he shut the door tightly behind him. Then, he pulled Minerva along with him as he walked in. Minerva started to feel frustrated. What did he mean by not saying anything?

She wanted to shake off his hand but when she thought of the wound on his back, she had held back her anger and asked calmly, "What is it? You don't believe me, do you?"

Maddox glanced at her and laughed softly. "Why wouldn't I trust you? Even if I don't trust anyone else anymore, I would still believe whatever you say."

Then why didn't he meet her when she wanted to explain herself long ago?

The word 'liar' almost escaped her lips, but in the end, Minerva managed to hold back her anger.

She found that she was really good at being patient.

When she thought of this, Minerva turned around and stopped looking into Maddox's eyes. Instead, she said coldly, "Then why did you pull me in? If she's really here, I might be able to find her." "And what are you going to do if you do find her?" Maddox retorted.

"What?" Minerva's eyes widened. She had not expected him to question her in that way.

"I'm asking you, what will you do after you find her? It's late at night; do you think she'll come here for no reason? Was the lesson from that day not clear enough? Or..." Maddox said word by word. "I blocked the acid for you that day so that you can be safe and sound. Is that why you can't foresee dangers at all? Do you feel that you can just appear in front of her at any time? Aren't you afraid that she will splash acid on you again?"

Maddox's tone grew colder as he spoke.

Minerva's eyes widened in disbelief. "What do you mean? Are you blaming me?"

Maddox did not agree nor disagree. He simply said nothing.

Minerva seemed to find it amusing. After a long while, she finally said, "Then why do you think things have turned out like this?"
