After rushing from the traffic lights, Minerva continued to speed up. She was afraid that the car behind would catch up with her again.

"Slow down. Make a turn in front."

"What's next?"

"Stop the car and wait for me at the intersection."

Minerva did what he said. After stopping the car, she let out a sigh of relief. She raised her hand and tried to wipe away the cold sweat on her forehead.

Only when she raised her hand did she realize that her palms were sweaty.

She was stunned for a moment but managed to smile with a pale face after.

She was really timid that such an incident would terrify her. If Maddox didn't save her that day, what would she do?

Thinking of it, Minerva closed her eyes and wiped the cold sweat off her forehead.

Knock, knock...

At that moment, someone knocked on her window. Minerva's hair stood up as she was still in a state of shock. Minerva turned her head and saw a figure standing outside the window. Only then did she feel a sense of relief.

She unlocked the door. Maddox opened it and bent down to stare at her.

"You're not coming out?"

Looking at Maddox right in front of her, Minerva's lips moved. "I..."

"Are you frightened?" Maddox narrowed his eyes. From the corner of his eyes, he saw that her hair was soaked with sweat.

Seeing this, Minerva raised her hand to wipe the sweat off her forehead.

"Come out and catch your breath."

He raised his hand to help her and she slowly walked out aided by him. Her legs were a little weak. When she got out, she fell forward into Maddox's arms.

He could smell her scent. He wrapped his arms around her waist and helped her to a nearby cafe.

Minerva was exhausted, Maddox had to support her while they walked into the cafe. The air outside was much better. He ordered a cup of warm milk and told her to drink it.
