Chapter 486


    After Maddox finished eating, Minerva packed her things and washed the thermos. She then ced


    it on the hospital table afterwards, and started looking at her phone.


    It was already past eight o''clock. Looking out of the window, it was alreadypletely dark.


    Beforeing here, Vera had promised Minerva that she would pick Beanie up and told her not to


    worry about him.


    Maddox frowned when he saw her holding her phone. "Are you going back now?"


    Upon hearing this, Minerva put away her phone. Then, she pursed her lips and said, "I''ll be here to


    apany you. Don''t worry."


    Maddox raised his eyebrows in surprise. He did not expect her to stay back for him voluntarily. He


    had thought... that he had to use his unique skill again.


    "Don''t think that I don''t know what you''re thinking." Minerva timely cut off his thoughts, as if she had


    seen right through him. "Isn''t it just that same trick? You never get tired of it. Anyway, you''re the one


    who got injured on my behalf. You know that I can''t do anything to you now, so go ahead and take


    advantage of the fact that you still have that wound to use."


    After saying that, Minerva sat down on a chair beside him. Perhaps she was bored, so she took out


    her mobile phone again and he didn''t know who she was texting.


    Maddox was exposed by her on the spot. However, he was not annoyed nor did he feel ashamed.


    So what if she did see through him?


    He knew that he was very despicable, but... as long as he could keep her by his side, how would it


    matter?


    As long as the result was what he wanted, he was satisfied.


    The emotion in Maddox''s eyes deepened when he thought of that.


    Although Minerva stayed, she did not pay him any attention, let alone look at him. She also didn''t


    ask if his wounds hurt or not.


    She just looked at her phone while Maddox looked at her.


    Maddox felt displeased as he looked on.


    "Was his presence that undetectable?" As Maddox thought about this, he suddenly gave a muffled


    snort.


    Minerva heard a muffled snort and she raised her head subconsciously. When she saw Maddox''s


    pale face and cold sweat, she was so frightened that she quickly put down her phone and ran over


    to him.


    "What''s wrong with you? Are your wounds hurting more? I''ll call the doctor right away!"


    After that, Minerva wanted to turn around and call for the doctor, but Maddox stopped her and said,


    "No."


    Minerva turned around and said, "Aren''t you in pain? Why can''t I call the doctor? We don''t know


    what''s going on with the wound. Let the doctore and take care of it."


    She didn''t give him the chance to refuse. She quickly went out of the ward and then called the


    doctor toe over.


    His wound was indeed very serious. When the doctor heard that he might have had other


    symptoms, he quickly followed up and examined Maddox. Then, he frowned and said, "WhatAll content is ? N0velDrama.Org.


    happened? Didn''t your wound get treated well before? Why did it suddenly get worse again? What


    did you all do?"


    Minerva''s expression changed after hearing those words. She recalled what Maddox had done


    earlier. Sure enough, those actions he did just now had caused his wounds to worsen yet again.


    However, the b*stard''s expression was calm. It was as if he didn''t take his injury seriously at all.


    Seeing that they did not speak, the doctor looked around and said, "I''ll treat it again, but he''ll have


    toy face down at night to avoid touching the wound again. Also, don''t do anything that will lead to


    further tearing of the wound or else it will get worse. The wound is very severe so he really needs to


    rest. If this happens repeatedly and causes the wound to get worse, then don''t me me for telling


    you both this now."


    The doctor had already exined everything so clearly. How could Minerva not understand what


    was going on? She nodded and said, "Alright, doctor, I''ve memorized everything. I''ll make sure that


    he pays attention to it in the future."


    Later, when the doctor treated his wound, he saw that Maddox''s eyes had been fixed on Minerva


    and did not move away. Thus, he mistakenly thought that they were a young couple. Before leaving,


    he said, "Take good care of your husband. The injury could be even more serious. If the wound is


    not cured entirely, it will be very troublesome in the future."


    Minerva kept quiet.


    Her lips moved. She wanted to correct him about his reference to their rtionship, but she could


    not utter a single word when the words reached her lips.


    What could she deny? ording tow, they were indeed still husband and wife.


    Furthermore, Maddox''s emotions were unstable at the time. If she said anything, who knew what


    Maddox would have done. This person truly did not care about his own health at all.


    He could take it lightly, but she couldn''t.


    After the doctor left, Maddox looked at her with a satisfied smile and said, "Why didn''t you deny it?"


    Upon hearing this, Minerva turned her head and rolled her eyes at him. "Is denial useful? Do you


    think he would believe it?"


    Even though she looked annoyed, Maddox''s eyes lit up even more when he saw her look. His thin


    lips curled deeper and he said softly, "You''ve heard it earlier. Take good care of your husband. You''ll


    be in trouble if I don''t heal entirely."


    "Hehe." Minerva sneered then turned around and went into the bathroom.


    She washed her face with cold water in the bathroom, with the cold water she felt more awake. She


    looked out of the window at the quiet night, and her heart slowly calmed down.


    At that point, she didn''t have time to think about anything else.


    Let him be during this period of time and let him recover from his injury. When he recovered, he


    would not be able to take advantage of her anymore.


    Thinking of this, Minerva took out a piece of tissue and wiped the water away from her face. Then,


    she walked out.


    "Are you sleepy? Do you want me to help you move over so you can sleep?"


    Maddox shook his head and sat there looking at her.


    Because his back was injured, he couldn''t lean back. He could only force himself to sit upright.


    However, sitting like that had been very tiring, and the injury on his back... was also very miserable.


    Minerva thought for a moment and went to find a higher chair. Then, she found two pillows and


    ced them on top of the chair.


    "It''s okay if you don''t want to sleep, but it''s tough for you to sit like that. I''ve made this for you. If


    you''re tired, you can lean forward."


    She pointed at the two pillows while saying.


    Maddox looked at the two pillows and his expression grew ugly.


    How could hey face down in front of Minerva? It would look so ugly!


    He didn''t move and neither did Minerva. The air seemed to be strangely quiet. Momentster,


    Minerva looked at him and said, "Why aren''t you lying face down? Aren''t you tired after sitting like


    that all this while?"


    Maddox looked at her and suddenly thought of something. He lifted his lips and asked, "Do you


    really want me to rest that much?"


    Minerva nodded and said, "Sort of. How can you recover if you don''t rest? If you mind me seeing


    this, I can turn around."


    After saying that, Minerva saw the small bed next to her. She was about to head there to rest for the


    night. However, just as she turned around, Maddox grabbed her by her wrist. She turned around


    and saw Maddox taking away all the pillows on the chair. Then, he said, "Sit."


    Minerva asked, "What do you want to do?"


    "Just sit down and you''ll find out."


    As such, she sat down in confusion. As soon as she sat down, Maddox stuffed a pillow into her


    back and then ced one on her thigh. Then, heid face down on it.
