Chapter 605


    Recalling what had just happened, Vera stole a nce at Minerva from the corner of her eyes.


    She saw that Minerva was looking at her full of concern.


    "I''m sorry for making you suffer for me. He didn''t make things difficult for you, did he?"


    The look of care in her eyes made Vera even more afraid to face her. She felt guilty as if she had


    done something bad to her.


    "No, he didn''t. I''m just startled."


    "Okay." Minerva felt relieved.


    "In fact..." Vera raised her head, looking at Minerva. She wanted to say something, but on second


    thought, stopped.


    A puzzled look appeared on Minerva''s face. "Hmm? What''s wrong?"


    "Nothing." Vera lowered her head and did not dare to look her in the eyes.


    Forget it, since she had already given Minerva the bottle, it would be best for her not to say


    anything.


    Knock, knock...


    Someone was knocking on the bedroom door. Both women in the room straightened themselves in


    an instant with their faces turning pale at the same time.


    It was Maddox!


    Minerva turned to Vera, asking for help. Vera could only nod at Minerva.


    "Minerva?" A deep male voice came from outside. Hearing his voice, Minerva subconsciously


    grabbed the bedsheet beneath her and bit her lower lip but did not reply.


    "Can Ie in?" After Maddox asked, he then twisted the doorknob without waiting for an answer


    from inside.


    Seeing his tall silhouette enter the room, Minerva felt all the hair on her body stand.


    Her body moved towards the pillow subconsciously. The bottle of medicine Vera had just given her


    was under the pillow. If he wanted to find it, he might find it in just a while.


    If he found the pills...


    Minerva could not even imagine if she could withstand his anger once more.


    She bit her lower lip so tightly that it started to bleed a little. On the other side, Vera said awkwardly,


    "President Yardley, I''m here to deliver some documents to Minerva."


    After that, she quickly took the documents out of her bag and handed them to Minerva, "Minerva,


    take a look at this. If there is no problem, sign them and I''ll bring them back to thepany."


    Upon hearing this, Maddox nced at Vera. A mocking smile shed across his eyes.


    Their acting seemed real.

    With Maddox standing in front, looking at them like a tiger eyeing its prey, Minerva was not


    interested in the contents of the documents at all. However, she still had to put on a show. She took


    the documents and read them for a while. Then, she grabbed the pen that Vera handed her and


    signed them.


    "It''s done."


    Vera took the documents and pen back before putting them away. She looked at Maddox then


    Minerva. She tentatively asked, "Then... I''ll go back to the office first?"


    Minerva knew that she would feel ufortable if she stayed any longer. Even as his wife, she was


    afraid of his aura, never mind Vera.


    She nodded and motioned for her to go back to the office first.


    After Vera received her approval, she quickly walked out of the room. When she passed by


    Maddox, Minerva felt that she seemed to have sped up. She then quickly disappeared from the


    room.


    Minerva and Maddox were the only ones left in therge room.


    Maybe because she felt guilty, but Minerva didn''t dare to look into his eyes at all. After Vera had left,


    she pulled the quilt cover and thenid back down.


    When sheid down, she could feel a small bump under her pillow. It was the bottle of pills she had


    just stuffed there.


    She moved her head to the other spot.


    With footsteps approaching, Maddox''s voice rang loudly from behind.


    "Get up and eat if you''re awake."


    Minerva ignored him and said, "I''m not hungry. I don''t want to eat."


    "Do you want me to carry you?"


    His words provoked Minerva instantly. She pulled over the nket and sat up, staring at Maddox


    with displeasure.


    "Do you have to force me like this every day?"


    "If you don''t eat, how can you have the strength?"


    Maddox stared at her coldly and said in a freezing tone, "You have two choices. Get up on your own


    or I will carry you."


    What he said seemed ridiculous. Would she even let him carry her if she had the choice? She really


    hated how Maddox wastely. However, she was worried that he would discover the bottle under


    the pillow.


    She looked at Maddox in the same way and said coldly, "There''s no need for that. I have my legs


    and feet to walk on."


    Then, she lifted the quilt and got out of bed immediately. It was imperative to get him out of the


    room. After all, there was something she wanted to hide.


    Seeing Minerva going downstairs, Maddox inadvertently nced at the bed. He was still a little


    worried. He went over and took out the bottle under the pillow. Seeing that it was the bottle he had


    given Vera, he put it back in its original position and then followed her downstairs.


    On the dining table, the food was well prepared. Since they were prepared by a private chef hired


    by Maddox, the food taste was delicious and nutritious.


    If it was in the past, Minerva would have had a huge appetite. However, she wasn''t in the mood to


    eat at that moment. She had to find time to take the contraceptive pill.


    During their meal, Minerva ate as quickly as a hungry wolf. As she was about to leave the table,


    Maddox reached over and wiped the corner of her mouth with a tissue.


    "Are you a hungry wolf?" Maddox asked.


    Minerva nodded angrily. "Yes, I am. I''ve already finished eating. Can I go upstairs now? Or do I


    have to wait for you to finish eating?"


    Maddox knew why she wanted to go upstairs. Anyway, since the pills had been switched, it didn''t


    matter if she ate them. Maddox lifted the corner of his mouth and said softly, "No, you can go


    upstairs."


    Upon receiving his permission, Minerva stood up and walked upstairs instantly. When she was


    walking up the stairs, Minerva was still puzzled. Why was he acting so generous that day? Wasn''t


    he afraid that she would sneakily take the pills after returning to the room?


    No, Vera must have lied to him. That was why he wasn''t worried at all.


    As she thought about this, Minerva quickly returned to her room. Perhaps it was because she was


    feeling guilty, but she locked the door behind her the moment she stepped into the room. Then, she


    walked to the bed and took out the bottle that she had hidden under her pillow. She immediately


    poured the pill into her palm and swallowed it without water.


    As she swallowed the pill, she felt ufortable, but soon recovered. The contraceptive pill had to


    be taken separately for a period of time. She had to take one every 72 hours, so she had to hide


    this bottle of medicine well.


    However, based on Maddox''s nature, she did not know how he would torture her that night. That''s


    why she could not hide it on the bed. Where could she hide it?


    After thinking it through, Minerva opened the closet and found one of the coats. She hid the bottle in


    the pocket. She figured that Maddox wouldn''t grab this coat at this hour, would he?


    After hiding it well, a smile yed across Minerva''s face. This was probably the happiest moment


    she had had in the past few days since she was confined by Maddox.


    Just like that, she swallowed the medicine. She wouldn''t get pregnant. When the timees,


    Maddox would definitely let down his guard. Then, she could keep a distance from him.
