Had it been that intimate?

Thinking about it, Minerva was indeed very intimate with Beanie when she was talking to him.

No, it should be intimate.

After all, Beanie was her son. Who else would she be intimate with, if not her own son?

Seeing her pale face, Maddox knew that his guess was correct. Since the hospital was very quiet in the middle of the night, when Minerva spoke just now, Maddox could clearly hear the voice of a child. He pressed his thin lips together as his gaze fell on Minerva's face.

"Who is it?"

His voice was so cold that it sounded like he was interrogating her.

Minerva was stunned for a few seconds. She bit her lips and asked, "What right do you have to question me like this?"

Maddox paused. "What right?"

"Yes, what gives you the right?" Minerva's courage was slowly rising as she spoke. She sneered, "It's none of your business who I'm calling and who I'm intimate with. Do you think I'm really your full-time caretaker just because I'm here to deliver food to you in the middle of the night? Do I have to listen to your orders? This is my private life. I don't have to report it to you, do I?"

After saying that, Minerva forcefully pushed him to the side and then walked out of the bathroom.

Her words made Maddox's face cloud over.

Seeing that she went out, he also turned around and followed her out.

"Who was the child in the restaurant last time?"

Minerva's footsteps came to a halt.

Her face turned pale again and the back of her head felt as if it had taken a heavy blow. She stood there for a long time and couldn't react.

There was only one thought in her mind.

Did Maddox see them?

Did he already see them the last time at the restaurant?

Then why hadn't he questioned her all this time?

If he had seen Beanie, why didn't he expose her? Or was he waiting for an opportunity?

Minerva felt a chill rise from her feet when she thought of this. She did not turn around, but bit down hard on her lower lip.

Maddox looked at the back of her head with a cold face.

"Is that your child?"

Minerva didn't answer.

"Is it?"

She still didn't answer.

"Who did you have the child with?" Maddox stared at the back of her head and his eyes gradually became cold.

The surrounding temperature rapidly dropped along with Maddox's temper. Minerva was stunned and then dumbfounded. She slowly turned her head and her gaze fell on Maddox. Why did he ask her that question? If he saw Beanie, wouldn't he think that the child...

Why did he ask her this question now?

Was he trying to test her or was there some other purpose in doing so?

Minerva's astonished expression annoyed Maddox. He took a step forward and grabbed her shoulders. "I'm asking you a question," he said through gritted teeth.

She didn't know.

Her mind was in a mess right now.

She had always thought that she had hidden it well enough, but why did Maddox replace out the last time?

Why did he say it after such a long time?

She really couldn't figure out what his purpose was, so she didn't dare to answer him rashly.

After a while, Maddox saw that she kept silent and gradually calmed down. He asked in a low voice, "The person who called just now was the same child as the one in the restaurant that day, right?" Minerva did not confirm nor deny it.

Maddox sneered and said, "It seems that I'm right. Who is he? Minerva, what have you done behind my back in the past five years?"

There was a trace of madness and anger in his eyes, and his expression was somewhat tangled and pained.

"That day, I saw the side of the child's face in the restaurant. I thought it might be Vera's child, but today, I actually heard him call you on the phone... Minerva, who were you with these years? If the child is yours, whose is the child's father?"

He asked her a series of questions, causing Minerva to feel a little dizzy.

What did he mean? Did he not know Beanie's appearance? Didn't he suspect when he was in the restaurant that day, and didn't he ask anyone to investigate her information?

Was he angry because he heard Beanie call her "mommy"?

"Let go of me first. My mind is a little all over the place..." Minerva pushed his hand away and stumbled backwards.

Her current behavior made Maddox feel as if she was feeling guilty.

He gritted his teeth and caught up with her to grab her wrist.

"Have you been with another man after all this time?"

"Answer my question. Whose child is that?"

Minerva's mind went blank. She forcefully shook off Maddox's hand and said, "Let go of me. What right do you have to question me like this?"

Just as the two of them were in a state of stalemate, the nurse knocked on the door of the ward and pushed open the door. With a serious expression, she reminded, "I'm sorry, the two of you. This is a hospital It's already late at night so please keep quiet."

The nurse's words calmed both of them down a little and Maddox loosened his grip. Minerva took the opportunity to push him away and ran out of the door.

"Eh? What's going on?" Before the nurse could even react, Minerva had already brushed past her arm and ran out. She didn't even turn her head.

After seeing her leave, the nurse turned around and looked at Maddox.

He was standing alone in the ward. His face was pale and he seemed to be in a bad condition.

But even so, he still managed to look handsome.

With the good-looking man in front of her, the nurse's heart fluttered a little, so she asked in a low voice, "Sir, are you okay?"

Maddox looked up, and his cold eyes were frightening. The nurse coughed softly and then told him not to make a sound before closing the door of the ward and leaving.

After Minerva left the ward, she soon ran to the gate. Just then, a cab pulled up to drop a few passengers off at the entrance. Seeing this, Minerva quickly went up and got in the car, and then told the driver her address.

After getting in the car, she took out her mobile phone and called Vera. "I'm coming back soon. I'll be there in about 20 minutes. Go to the common gate to pick me up."

Vera was woken up when she received her call, but what she heard was even weirder. "Are you okay? You ran to the hospital in the middle of the night and then came back? Why did you ask me to pick you up in the common gate? It's so late Minerva. I'm sleeping."

Minerva looked at the driver and nodded. "Yes, if you don't want to come, you can ask my brother to come down to pick me up. I'm already in a cab."

After that, Minerva looked at the driver in front of her and asked, "Sir, what's the car license plate? Let me tell my brother so it'll be easier for him to replace me."

After the driver read her the license plate number, Minerva finally heaved a sigh of relief.

It would be better to have a clear mind when riding a cab in the middle of the night.

Soon, everything was fine. When Minerva got out of the car, she saw Vera standing shivering in the night breeze, wearing a jacket and with two dark circles under her eyes. When she saw Minerva get out of the car, Vera immediately rushed over and scolded

"Do you have a conscience for asking me to wait for you downstairs in the middle of the night? I was woken up by Beanie in the middle of the night and now you asked me to get up again. You two are really my nemesis!"
