Perfect Mysterious Husband (Maddox and Kimberly)
Chapter 718

After saying that, Juliette took out her phone to check the weather and realized there would be a thunderstorm that day. Seeing how cloudy it was... The thunderstorm was approaching. The most important thing was to send Minerva back to the hotel and then coax her to sleep.

This way, even if it was a thunderstorm outside, she wouldn't be startled by it as she would be sound asleep. She should be exhausted after a day of running around.

Juliette was thinking to herself.

However, Minerva became worried as she stared at the rain outside.

Why was this happening?

Would it rain all night? She was still worried even though it was a drizzle.

When they arrived at the hotel, she got out of the car and stood at the door. She didn't want to go in. She turned around and stared at the rain.

"Is the rain going to stop?" She was murmuring to herself.

Standing behind her, Juliette looked at the rain and said, "Miss Minerva, the rain seems to be lighter. If the rain goes on like this, it will stop soon."

She still stood there motionlessly. Juliette went up to hold her hand and said, "Let's go in. The rain will stop."

They went into the hotel.

After Minerva entered the room, Quill did not follow her in. Although they were siblings, they were still opposite genders. Hence, he entrusted Juliette to take care of Minerva for him.

She agreed to help. After entering the room, she immediately poured some warm water for Minerva. After adjusting the room's temperature, she helped her take off her wedding dress. As she unzipped it, she said softly, "Miss Minerva, you'd better take a warm bath and relax. I've already asked someone to bring you some supper. When you are done with your bath, you can enjoy a bowl of oatmeal and rest after." Minerva was like a puppet, allowing Juliette to help her take off her wedding dress. She was very gentle. Soon, the wedding dress was off. Juliette said, "You have to take a bath by yourself, I'll come back in twenty minutes to check on you."

After that, she went out.

Minerva stood in the bathroom blankly. She trembled at the thought of the rain. She came back to her senses, took off the remaining articles of clothing and went into the tub.

The water temperature was just right, and her body sank into the warm water. Her body that was tense the entire day, finally relaxed. Although she was still feeling anxious, her muscles relaxed. Minerva slowly leaned back in the water.

However, because of her leg cramps, she suddenly slid backwards. As the water was very buoyant, she reflexively reached out to grab the two sides of the bathtub. When she sat up, she choked and was gasping for air.

Even though it was a small tub of water, she would panic at the buoyancy of the water if she wasn't careful.

But what if it was... the sea?

Moreover, it was a turbulent sea.

If... Maddox ended up stranded in the middle of the sea; could he get saved?

Her mind was spinning. The more she thought about it, the more desperate she felt. She could no longer soak herself in the tub and immediately got up. Without drying herself, she randomly put on her clothes before opening the bathroom door and walking out.

Outside the bathroom, Juliette was making a call.

"Yes, Mr. Hanover, Miss Minerva is already in the bath. Don't worry, I will take good care of her. Well... No problem, as for..."

When she was about to let Quill know about Minerva's condition, the bathroom door behind her suddenly swung open. Juliette turned around and saw that Minerva's body was soaking wet. Her clothes were wet as well as she walked out.

Her expression changed, "Miss Minerva."

On the other end of the line, Quill frowned, "What's wrong?"

"I need to go. Miss Minerva is out."

After saying this, she quickly hung up. She put down her phone and walked over to Minerva, blocking her.

She had only gone out from the bathroom for a moment, and Minerva came out in soaking clothes. She obviously did not have a proper bath.

"Miss Minerva, why did you come out so soon? Is the water temperature not to your liking? Also, why didn't you dry your body..."

Before she could finish, Minerva grabbed hold of her arm.

"Take me to the crash site."

Juliette was speechless.

"The buoyancy of the sea is so strong. What if he can't hold on? The night is long. What if his hope of ever surviving is on this very night?"

"Miss Minerva..."

"Juliette, I don't want to stay here anymore. I want to go out."

"Miss Minerva, it's still raining outside. I really don't think it's a good idea for you to go out. Please listen to me. Take a bath and rest." Minerva hated herself very much.

She hated herself for being useless.

She hated herself for not following him in the first place. At least, even if something happened to Maddox, she would still be by his side. They would be together, dead or alive.

It wouldn't be how it was now. She did not know where he was, whether he was dead or alive.

If it wasn't for this incident, Minerva wouldn't have known how much love she had for him. She wouldn't know that she would be willing to be with him, even if it meant death.

In the past, parting ways didn't seem too big a deal to her. At least she knew that he was living a normal life. He was still alive and living day by day, so she secretly observed him.

But now...

She was going mad with him not by her side.

"Secretary Sharpio," Minerva's voice finally calmed down. She was staring at Juliette with pale lips, "Don't you understand?"

Juliette was taken aback.

Even if she said she understood her, she couldn't thoroughly understand what she was going through.

Then what was the point of telling her that? Juliette thought she would argue with her. Who would have thought that Minerva would actually turn around and quietly return to the bathroom?

She did not return to her bath anymore. She found a set of clean clothes and changed. She knew if she continued acting like this, Juliette wouldn't allow her to go out.

It seemed that they had to spend the night there.

The night grew darker and darker.

It was pitch black. Even if there were lights in the distance, it still could not light up the vicinity. There was visibly no moonlight, and it was so dark that she couldn't even see herself.

Boom! Boom!

Lightning suddenly flashed across the dark sky as the sound of thunder followed. The drizzle that subsided earlier increased after a couple of hours before turning into huge water droplets. It started pouring heavily.

The thunderstorm began.

The rain ruthlessly washed away the endless darkness. That night, for many people, was a desperate and gloomy night.

The families of those survivors gradually arrived.

Some people got in touch and rushed to the hospital. When they saw that their loved ones travelling thousands of miles away were still alive, they burst into tears with joy.

Some of them didn't even replace the people they were looking for.

That surging sea was also being washed away by the storm this very night.
