"20 minutes?" Maddox's tone was clearly a little upset. Minerva had no choice but to explain hurriedly, "I was passing by the supermarket and wanted to buy something along the way. Since you're already at my doorstep, can't you wait for me for a moment?"

"Which supermarket? HI pick you up."

"There's no need for that!" She frantically rejected his offer.

If Maddox tried picking her up, she would be exposed. Minerva took a deep breath and tried to calm herself down.

"You don't have to pick me up. I just need to run a quick errand. If you're tired of waiting, you can go back to your place first. I'll go look for you later."

After she said this, Maddox remained silent for a very long time before finally agreeing.

"Alright."

After hanging up the phone, Minerva let out a sigh of relief. She clutched her chest and felt her heart palpitating.

Wouldn't she feel guilty as time passed if she continued lying?

But right at this moment, how could Minerva dare to tell Maddox the truth? Knowing his temper, if she told him she was in the hospital, he would definitely rush over. If he found out she was there to see Benedict, things would become even more complicated.

Although she knew she shouldn't have come to see Benedict, she couldn't bear to be that cruel.

Therefore, she told herself, as soon as she confirmed with the doctor that Benedict's life wasn't in danger, she would return home immediately.

"Miss Hanover, do you still have work now?" Justin couldn't help but ask her when she walked over.

Upon hearing this, Minerva glanced at him, "No, it's from home. Why?"

"Nothing. I just felt bad if I knew you came all the way here even though you had work to do," Justin smiled and then couldn't help saying, "By the way, do you have a boyfriend?" "Justin's question is a little strange, isn't it?" She wondered.
