Chapter 874


    Seeing Maddox like this, it would be a lie for Minerva to say that she was not distressed. Her expression changed drastically. She charged in and


    turned off the shower.


    Minerva bent down and touched Maddox''s shoulder, only to find that his whole body was cold. After being under the cold water for such a long time,


    coupled with the drug''s effect, he must be in great pain.


    His clothes stuck to his. body; Minerva could only clumsily unbutton him. She took off the coat that had be heavier after being soaked in water.


    It would still be alright if he kept drenching himself in cold water, however, he would have to stay there until the next morning.


    It was winter, and if he decided to continue on until the next morning, he would be frozen to death.


    "Take off your coat and try to move your body," The soaked jacket was very heavy: it took Minerva great effort to move Maddox''s shoulder.


    Maddox, who had been motionless this whole time, finally opened his eyes. He looked at her dully and said, "Didn''t I tell you not toe in?"


    He sounded weak and a little shaky.


    Minerva didn''t even have to raise her head to feel that his gaze was as deep as a wolf hiding in the dark. She didn''t look into his eyes but repeated


    her words.


    However, Maddox still did not move; He slowly raised his hand and sped her wrist. "Do you know how hard I had been trying to endure?" He said


    in a hoarse voice.


    Minerva raised her head in shock, "I-I know..."


    Of course, she knew.


    She had been drugged in the past so she naturally knew how painful it was to endure and because of that, she didn''t want him to suffer alone.


    "You know?" Maddox squinted his eyes; a dangerous glint emerged. He tugged on her wrist with some force and Minerva uncontrobly fell onto his


    chest, "Since you know, why did you stille in?"


    Minerva nervously blinked her eyes a few times, bit her lower lip. and said, "I''m worried about you."


    After that. she lowered her eyes and pursed her thin lips as if she was making a major decision. After a while, she raised her head again and looked


    at him, "I want to help you."


    Maddox''s breathing turned heavy when he heard that. He gritted his teeth and looked at her, "What did you say? Say it again!"


    He looked terrifying that moment as if his gaze alone could swallow her whole. Minerva subconsciously tucked her neck, but when she saw his pale,


    thin lips and restrained expression, she could only suppress her fear and take the initiative to approach him.


    "I know you''re ufortable, but it''s winter now. You''ll get sick if you soak yourself in cold water the whole night." She said.Copyright by N?v/elDrama.Org.


    Maddox saw that she was getting closer and closer. She wore only a set of pajamas and even though Maddox had previously told her to put on a


    jacket, she was soaking wet from the time he had kissed her. Now the fabric had stuck to her body, entuating her curves.


    She needn''t do anything. Just standing in front of him was enough to make Maddox unable to restrain himself.


    Now, she said she wanted to help him, looking like this.


    How much restraint would he have to be able to reject her? Maddox''s eyes were dark like midnight. He raised his hand to hold the back of her head


    and said in a low and hoarse voice, "Are you sure?"


    Minerva nodded without hesitation, and Maddox''s kiss fell on her lips.


    His icy cold and heavy lipsnded on hers.


    However, Maddox quickly moved away, his gaze fixed on her, "It’s still not toote to say no."


    Minerva pursed her red lips and reached out to unbutton his shirt.


    Her action had already said everything.


    His Adam''s apple rolled up and down as he looked at her movements. There was only darkness left in his eyes


    It seemed that he wouldn''t be able to escape tonight.


    That night, when Maddox carried Minerva in his arms, she wrapped her arms around his neck; her ears were so red that they looked as if they were


    stained with blood. She whispered into his ear, "Be gentle.”


    Maddox kissed her earlobe and replied gently, "Okay."


    They were no longer in the bathroom, all there was left were their wet clothes. Back in the bedroom, there were two dark silhouettes on the bed


    Warm yellow light from the bedsidemp illuminated the room.


    The moon hid behind the clouds, and after a long time, the clouds gradually dispersed.


    After that night, everything... would change.


    Minerva woke up early the next day.


    When she opened her eyes, she saw the sky was still grey. By the looks of it. it should be just over six o''clock


    After tossing and turning almost the


    whole nigttt with him, her entire body


    ached. Minerva bit her lower lip-and


    gently removed therge hand that


    was wrapped around her waist. She


    then got up and put on her. clothes.

    Then, she tumed to look at Maddox.


    Maybe it was because of the drug, he slept very deeply. Minerva blinked her eyes and walked towards the bathroom.


    Minerva threw all of the clothes they


    had lefti ithe bathroom the night


    beforeiinto the washing machine.


    Suddenly, she felt something was


    wrong with her body. Content

    She closed the door and had a check, only to find blood between her legs.


    Although there wasn''t a lot, it was still shocking to her.


    Minerva''s face suddenly turned pale. She put on a sanitary napkin and got out.


    Her pregnancy hadn''t passed the first trimester.


    Although she had asked Maddox to be gentle the night before and he had listened to her, he still couldn''t control himself when he got excited.


    What should she do?


    Would this have an impact on the child? Minerva was terrified, but she couldn''t tell Maddox about it.


    Minerva was lost in thoughts when she went out of the bathroom to get a jacket. Then, she saw Abigail calling her.


    Abigail...


    Auntie Stark.


    Minerva hurriedly ran to the balcony to pick up the call.


    “Auntie Stark.”


    When Abigail heard the anxiety in her tone, she didn''t say why she called her. Instead, she asked, "What''s wrong? You sound so anxious. Did


    something happen?”


    Minerva bither lower lip. She wanted


    to say something but found it hard


    to say. ‘However, she knew shefiad


    to telt F her everything since things


    had escted to this state. “Content

    In the end, she could only force herself to say, "Auntie, Maddox was druggedst night.”


    Upon hearing this, Abigail''s heart missed a beat, "What did you say?”


    She mmed the table angrily, "How could this happen? What''s going on?"


    Minerva bit her lower lip and said softly, "He''s fine now. Auntie Stark, don’t worry."


    Upon hearing that he was fine, she breathed a sigh of relief.


    "Then..."


    "He''s fine, but I..." Minerva hesitantly told her aboutst night''s situation


    Auntie Stark was speechless, "Then why are you still standing there? Hurry up and get dressed. We need to get you to a hospital."


    Abigail used to be a doctor. After hearing what she said. Minerva daren''t hesitate. She hung up the phone and went back to her room to change.
