Perfect Mysterious Husband (Maddox and Kimberly)

She had tried her best to calm herself down. On the surface, she looked like she knew nothing at all. But Geoffrey spoke so directly. Minerva was a woman after all; her face was flushed red to the ears.

However, the simple- minded Geoffrey did not notice Minerva's embarrassment at all. He wanted to remind her of something more, but she directly interrupted him, "Well, I really appreciate your help tonight, Geoffrey. Go and rest now." After that, she pushed Geoffrey out of the door and slammed it shut.

Geoffrey almost got hit by the door. Minerva was already out of sight when he wanted to say something more. He touched his head with sorrow.

Why do all of them value their love more than their friends? Geoffrey complained as he entered the elevator. He then recalled Minerva's awkward situation and realized what he had just said. "Thank heavens Sebastian wasn't there, otherwise I would've been killed." He thought to himself.

After Minerva closed the door, she leaned against it for a while before walking back to the bathroom. Minerva's panic grew with every step she took.

She didn't know what was going on with herself just now. After figuring out Maddox's situation, she asked Geoffrey to leave.

Thinking back now, her ears grew red and warm.

Just as Minerva pushed open the door and wondered what to do with Maddox, she heard the sound of water coming from the bathroom.

Minerva stopped in her tracks. The next second, she dashed into the bathroom. Maddox, who had been motionless, was drenching himself in cold water.

It was winter and the temperature was near zero. Although the radiator was on, the way he drenched himself had turned his face ghostly pale and his lips purple. "What are you doing?" Minerva asked.

Minerva rushed over and turned off the water, then took a bath towel from the shelf and draped it over Maddox's body to dry it.

Probably because Maddox had drenched himself in cold water, Minerva felt that his eyelashes were almost frozen the moment he opened his eyes.

She felt a pain in her heart, and her eyes becred.

By this time, Maddox's reasoning was nearly gone. He opened his eyes and saw Minerva standing in front of him with red eyes. Her fair face was gorgeous, and her red lips were as attractive as freshly plucked fruits. Something had taken over his reasoning and mentality.

The next second, Maddox reached out and grabbed hold of the back of Minerva's head. He bent down and kissed Minerva's lips fiercely.

Cold.

That was all she felt the moment he leaned close to her. She didn't know how long he had been drenched in cold water for his body to becso cold.

Minerva couldn't help but shiver. Her hand subconsciously tried to push him away. The person hugging her hugged her tightly in the next second as if her action provoked him.

He exerted a lot of force. From the moment she felt his bone-chilling kiss to now, Minerva began to feel like she was on fire.

He began to emit endless heat from his body.

It's probably the drug doing its thing.

Minerva didn't forget she was pregnant; if she didn't stop him now, what happened after that would be out of her control.

As she thought about this, Minerva pushed him away forcefully. At the stime, she said hurriedly, "Calm down." However, her voice at that moment was like a catalyst. It made Maddox's action more intense.

There was no way for Minerva to escape. But to her surprise, Maddox pushed her away, turned around, and said coldly, "Get out." His voice was terribly hoarse like his throat had been burned by strong liquor; hoarse but sexy.

Minerva felt as if an ant was biting her heart; it tickled.

If it weren't for the fact that she was pregnant, she wouldn't hesitate for a second considering Maddox's current state.

However, if there was no other way, she was still willing to do it.

He was already like this, why did he suddenly push her away and asked her to leave? Was he trying to restrain himself? Thinking of this, Minerva bit her lower lip and approached him. She reached out her hand to pull at his already soaked sleeve and said, "That..." However, just as her hand touched him, he suddenly turned around and grabbed her fair wrist, pressed her against the cold wall, and warned her in a cold voice.

"You also felt how strong the drug is just now. If you don't leave now..." He narrowed his eyes; the sharp gaze showed a hint of desire.

Minerva nervously bit her lip.

Her action made Maddox's gaze grow dark as if it was stained with ink. Soon, the veins on his forehead bulged; broke out in a cold sweat; the strength he used to hold her hand was also a lot heavier. Minerva began to feel a pain in her wrist. She subconsciously struggled and said in a low voice, "You're hurting my hand." Her voice was light and delicate; it sounded like she was seducing him.

But... no way.

Even though there was not much rationality left in him, he still remembered the person in front of him was his beloved. He could not... do it to her under these circumstances. Maddox grabbed her shoulders and tried his best to push her out of the bathroom.

"If you dare to cin again, don't blme for being merciless." Minerva still wanted to say something but the door slammed shut with a bang.

She was stunned for a moment.

She stood still, staring blankly at the closed door. She hadn't felt cold earlier because of nervousness, but now that she had regained her compostures O composure, she couldn't help but shiver. Her clothes had gotten somewhat wet because of Maddox and she had already felt so cold. She could only imagine how cold he was now. The sound of running water cfrom the bathroom again.

Minerva began to worry. She knocked on the door, "Open the door. Letin." He had already been drugged yet he was still so polite to her. If she continued to persist like this, then she would've gone too far.

Moreover, Minerva's heart ached knowing he kept drenching himself with cold water. After knocking times, she tried th a few the doorknob only to realize Maddox had locked himself in.

"Open the door, Maddox!" She shouted. Minerva was so anxious she called out his original name.

However, at this moment, Maddox sat leaning against the wall; having lost all of his consciousness but one. That was to lock himself in and do nothing.

The person outside the door was knocking and shouting. However, Maddox could not hear what she was saying.

He only knew that the bone- chilling water had been flowing down and drenching his body.

Minerva...

Minerva knocked on the door for a long tand heard nothing but the sound of running water inside. She calmed down for a moment and went to the cabto find the key. The door to the bathroom had a key for emergency use. She was lucky that it only took her a little tto find the key; she rushed back to open the door.

After fiddling a few times, the door finally opened. Minerva saw Maddox sat leaning against the wall with a pale face.
