Chapter 487


    Minerva kept quiet.


    He didn''t want the pillows she got for him; instead he wanted her to sit and be his human


    cushion.


    "F*ck, he must be dreaming!"


    Minervained in her heart but she did not resist. Since her legs were covered with soft pillows


    and there were also pillows on her back, it was not ufortable for her to sit like this. Hence, she


    just let him lean on her like that for a while.


    In fact, it was notfortable for Maddox to lean like that either. At least it was much better than


    sitting straight up. Plus, every breath he took was full of the smell of this woman.


    He felt perfectly satisfied.


    The ward was quiet for a moment. Minerva looked down at the back of the young man in front of


    her. He was lying face down on his stomach, so she could see his back easily.

    Minerva closed her eyes as she thought of the wound she saw earlier in the afternoon.


    She stopped herself. "I''d better not think about it anymore. I''ll just sleep.”


    She was ready to let himy on her like that for the whole night, so she simply leaned back and


    tilted her head. She closed her eyes and soon, she fell asleep.


    Maybe it was because what happened earlier was too terrifying. Hence, not long after Minerva fell


    asleep, her dreams were filled with the images of Maddox rushing over to block the sulfuric acid for


    her.


    In her dream, Maddox was hurt much more badly than he actually was in reality. That had scared


    Minerva badly. She was so nervous that she broke out in a cold sweat and opened her eyes


    abruptly.


    Her breathing was a little rapid. Minerva found that her back was wet, but the ward was particrly


    quiet. Minerva looked down and found that Maddox was sleeping soundly on the pillow ced on


    her legs.


    Minerva didn’t dare to disturb him. She turned her head slightly to look at the watch on her wrist. It


    was already past three o'' clock in the middle of the night. Was it already sote? But it was still long


    before the morning came.


    She looked down at Maddox again.


    From her point of view, she could see the shadows of his long eyshes around his eyes under the


    light. Because of his injury, Maddox''s face was a little pale; even his lips were bloodless. He slept


    there like an extremely fragile patient.


    Looking at him, he was so fragile. However, interestingly, he could still manage to use his own injury


    to make her stay.


    "Maddox, what on earth are you trying to do?" She thought.


    Using such a tactic to make her stay there. Just lying on her, he already showed such a satisfied


    expression.


    People that have no knowledge about their rtionship might have even assumed that he was


    extremely in love with her.


    However, if he really liked her so much, then why did he throw the divorce agreement to her five


    years ago and refuse to see her even just once?


    Minerva closed her eyes tiredly when she thought of that. It was as if she had fallen into a painful


    memory.


    She genuinely did not want to experience all that one more time in her life.


    Maddox had already woken up the moment the first ray of sunlight appeared in the morning.


    However, he did not move. He remained in the same position.


    When he woke up in the middle of the night, he found that she was sleeping soundly, so he had sat


    up for a while and observed the quiet face of the woman.


    It was strange. Although it had been five years, the woman''s appearance was not worse than that of


    five years ago. On the contrary, she was more confident than before, so there was a new sense of


    pride between her eyebrows. It was fascinating.


    Later, Maddox even secretly kissed the corner of her mouth.


    However, because the wound was really painful, he couldn''t continue it.


    He didn''ty back on the woman''s pillow until dawn. Then, heid back to enjoy the feeling again.


    If only she could be as quiet as she was when she was asleep, in real life. Then, he wouldn''t be


    experiencing such a headache during the day.


    Unfortunately, this was impossible.


    While thinking about it, Minerva moved a little. Then, she slowly woke up.


    "Are you awake?" Maddox''s deep voice could be heard.


    Minerva lowered her head, only to discover that Maddox was staring at her with a face ant. The


    look in his eyes was so gentle that it looked as if it was flooded with love. Minerva held her breath


    and nodded in a daze.


    However, soon after, she came back to her senses and avoided Maddox''s eyes. She whispered,


    "Get up."


    Maddox did not get up as Minerva had instructed. Instead, he waited for quite a while before getting


    up.


    "I don''t feelfortable sleeping like this." He couldn''t help butin.


    Upon hearing this, Minerva frowned. "Do you think I feltfortable?"


    She wanted to stand up and go to the bathroom, but when she stood up, she realized that she


    couldn''t stand up as her legs were all numb.


    Minerva''s expression changed and her pink lips moved. In the end, she looked a little funny so she


    simply sat there without moving.


    "What''s wrong?" Maddox asked with a frown.


    "What do you think?" She answered angrily, "You have been sleeping on my legs for the whole


    night. I can''t move my legs at all now."


    The night before, Maddox thought about his intentions of sleeping on herp but he did not think of


    the numbness at all. However, when he saw that she could not even stand up as she sat there, his


    heart ached for her. He frowned and said, "I''m sorry. I should have thought of it earlier."


    Looking at his apologetic expression, Minerva felt that she could not bear to be mean. She then


    only said, "It''s nothing. You''re the one who got injured on my behalf. I owe you this."


    Upon hearing this, Maddox became unhappy and his frown deepened.


    "So you stayed here with me for one night just because you think you owe me?"


    Minerva quickly replied, "Or else, what do you think?" However, after she said that, she realized that


    something was wrong and she suddenly raised her head.


    Sure enough, Maddox''s eyes and expression had be very disappointed.


    Minerva cursed inwardly. She exined herself in a hurry, "I don''t mean to me you. What I meant


    was that now that you''re injured, I have an obligation to take care of you."


    She then no longer mentioned that he got injured because of her, just in case he stirred up trouble


    again, using this matter.


    Hence, she kept her mouth shut.


    Let him recover first.


    However, Maddox did not speak. Instead, he stared at her with his pair of dark eyes.


    "I have let you sleep on my legs for the whole night; they are already numb. Are you really going to


    get mad?"


    Maddox paused for a moment. When he saw the helpless and aggrieved expression on Minerva''s


    face, he suddenly realized that he had gone too far. He suppressed his emotions and said, "No."


    Then, he raised his hand and ced it on Minerva''s leg, wanting to give her a massage.


    Minerva''s expression changed drastically. She quickly reached out to hold his hand down and said,


    "What are you doing?"


    "What do you think?" Maddox grabbed her with the other hand, and lifted her hand up. He then


    continued to massage her leg gently with the other hand.


    Her legs were numb, mainly because the blood flow was blocked, so with his massage, it would


    make her feel better faster.


    He didn''t do anything that crossed the line, only massaging her legs carefully. Minerva felt


    embarrassed and she wanted to push him away, but the serious look on Maddox''s face made her


    feel that she was thinking too much.


    Suddenly, Minerva let out a cry of surprise as she thought of something.


    "Your injury... Didn''t the doctor say that you shouldn''t do anything that could potentially tear the


    wound?"
